I switched to a pleasant Sri Lanka tea - which is far better basic quality than most tea. And it is really nice. I wouldn't choose any ordinary supermarket tea that is intended for drinking with milk and sugar. Wholegrain has the advantages of actually having slightly fewer calories per unit...

In my case, and I think this is common, the foot issues come about from a combination of mucinous deposits, changes to muscle and tendon mechanical characteristics, changes to ability of tissue to repaiir itself, possible changes to blood characteristics, etc. That is, PF seems to be a...

Did you see the story of the French one? Paris serial killer of 80s and 90s was ex-police officer, DNA shows François Vérove took his own life and mentioned crimes in suicide note after being called in for questioning...

Not at all surprised. Disgusted, yes. Perhaps Cummings' Russian connections just weren't quite as strong as those of some others?

So he says: UK electricity generation to be fossil fuel free by 2035, says Boris Johnson Is that because we won't have any oil, gas or coal? Or just won't be able to deliver it.

Has he had his thyroid hormone levels checked? Low thyroid results in high cholesterol. A very well documented relationship that is all too often ignored. (Note: Thyroid hormone levels - not just TSH.)

Doesn't the iPhone 13 mean you can never have babies?

"It" being an officer charged with rape. Which is now a matter of public record. Had Couzens been found not guilty, and if this chap is in due course found not guilty, having two officers charged is sufficient to question the entire edifice of the Met and its senior staff.

I fail to understand why resignation would prejudice any case. Would her resigning due to ill health, or because she behaves in an obviously unacceptable way, or simply hitting some pre-defined date also have that prejudicial impact? I have not for one moment suggested she knows him.

The advice has always been to take levothyroxine in the morning. But I am not convinced there ever was any evidence for that. It is just repeated because someone else assumed or said that Medics tend to look at thyroid medicines like coffee or cocaine. Stimulants. They even liken levothyroxine...

She is the boss. It happened on her watch.

Yes she can: "Here's my resignation. I realise that the Met cannot progress with me in charge. I have become a major part of the story rather than the answer."

Whereas I am borderline hypocholesterolaemic. Regardless how much fat I eat. Butter. Nuts. Dripping for cooking. Cheese. Coconut-laden Thai soups.

In the beginning, I had advice from a GP, an orthopaedic consultation at a specialist clinic, sessions with an orthotics expert and custom orthotic inserts. All a complete waste - and, worse, made it deteriorate significantly. Twenty minutes wearing the inserts left me in agony for a fortnight...

There are circumstances in which the boss should resign even if they are not personally guilty. Cressida Dick ‘deeply concerned’ after Met police officer charged with rape PC David Carrick to appear in court on Monday over incident in Hertfordshire in September 2020...

No - I didn't have a single plant in mind that I'd prefer. I couldn't think of a single plant that is commonly regarded as a house plant, that I wouldn't very much prefer to PF. At the margins I did think of some of the plants like durian (stinky) or poison ivy (poisonous to touch) where it...

It isn't the level of tax that is the big problem. It is that so many of them end up unable to escape a single penny. Whereas others duck hundreds of thousands, or millions. (I say "them" because it isn't me that manages to escape!)

Yep. I take my levothyroxine at bed-time (always have done so). And usually fall asleep fairly easily and stay soundly asleep through the night. It is the only medicine I take. Can't think of any medicine I have had prescribed since diagnosis except in the early days when there was a bit of...

Yet people have scoffed vast quantities of fat, both in single snacks, meals and through their lives without obvious issues! I think one of the best things I did was stop taking sugar in tea and coffee. Which I did over forty years ago. (Stopped milk in both somewhat later.)
