I can. If the lancet is UK approved but not EU approved - it wouldn't be acceptable for it to be sent to NI, would it?

What they send out is a lancet, a vial - which might contain a tiny amount of EDTA or other substance to preserve the sample, an alcohol wipe, and packaging. Such things do need approval - that is, the postal people demand that it is an approved packing system so that their staff will not get...

Ah! The company do explain on their website - up to a point. Services in Northern Ireland are temporarily paused while we carry out compliance procedures as a result of the UK leaving the EU. Find out more here. https://medichecks.com/pages/service-status Why can’t I purchase a test in...

Just seen that a company which has long been offering blood tests to people across the UK has just stopped offering them to Northern Ireland. Not yet found out their reason - could be transport delays? or Irish Sea border issues? Any ideas?

If we do not actually know who donated it, and David Ross just says he was the facilitator not the donor, we cannot know if/when they expire. Hence, any IHT would be incalculable and we cannot work out the effective value of the gift.

There seems to be an issue if the gift is received in any way related to a person's employment. Thus, if he was given this because he is PM, I think there might be something. But am very far from being fluent in tax affairs.

What is the tax situation for Johnson re the holiday? I wonder if it has been declared to HMRC? Rather thinking that if it was double the value, and he has declared a value, it is very likely that he only declared £15,000. Otherwise there would be a clash in value which wouldn't look good. If...

She should try a merkin. The smirkin' merkin has a certain ring to it.

I was thinking of Johnson who was referred to in the post I replied to! Who also makes me think of that nasty, nasty disease, necrotising facsciitis.

“The rotten apple spoils his companion.”

I have a strong incentive to do something which I believe to be of wide societal value - without payment. Something inside me wants to help others. Needing to go out to work, especially with significant commuting distances/times, has been a huge inhibitor of doing what I want to do. The past...

I put it to you that you are unfamiliar with the weather in Armagh!. We have an observatory there, which was so successful that they put up a planetarium , so they might occasionally see stars. Or, as with the London Planetarium, it has a domed roof and they project night sky objects on the...

I put it to you that, on miserable wet afternoons in Armagh, sun dials don't run fast. Or at all. Maybe their sun dials were calibrated so that we read a century each time there is a visible shadow?

It is interesting. Am wondering what criteria they will use (assuming it goes ahead) to decide which area(s). It might have very different costs and impacts on a poor area rather than a better off area.

Ussher deduced that the first day of creation began on Saturday, October 22, 4004 BC, at . 6 pm. How was it created at 6 pm? There wasn't an m for it to be six hours p!

Angela Rayner certainly doesn't intend to disappear: And Yvette:

Even if they don't support Alex Salmond. :)

Scottish police! We don't, in general, have British police. There is even a special division of the British Transport Police for Scotland.

No surprises here. Part 54: Good Law Project has uncovered remarkable evidence that a Tory Minister brought a former Chair of the Tory Party, a man who now runs a lobbying firm, into the heart of Government to work on the massive multi-billion PPE procurement process. Having got his feet under...

Near enough 10 weeks, and I got my second AZ yesterday. Feel very similar to first dose - a bit out of it but nothing serious. My heart usually runs fast - since injection, it has been consistently lower than it has been in months (or longer). But perfectly reasonable numbers.
