 I’m on a fun errand today. A FOAF moved to SF recently and his computer broke. He told our mutu... 
 @edbba727 You’re just a wonderful human being. If I ever go to SF, please fix my computer. If you ever come to Liverpool, I will make you a pair of shorts or something.

 @2307797a Okay, well let’s consider it a personal attack on the habit I most despise in myself 😝😭 
 There are so many half-eaten* notebooks in this house, it's not funny.

 Retired anaesthetist publishes response to a report into sexual assault of female surgeons:

“Bullying happens. Sexually inappropriate comments and actions do occur… All I can say is that if they want to make a success of this rewarding career then they should toughen up. Perhaps four A*s at A-level are not the answer to all the problems they will face."
