Wordle 1,087 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 The middle 3 and my gaming daughter gave it to me.

Same

At long last. It's an awful place. My own daughter who has been there a few times as a patient has described as "very bad" for her own MH. She has witnessed self harm, actual, and intended but prevented. When we have visited her it was clearly not a place designed to help recovery. Disinterested staff, little interaction, a dormitory style of sleeping areas, little in the way of privacy. There's holes kicked in walls, a patient had spat snot and coffee and mucus on a window that had dried on and not been cleaned off. I always left after a visit, feeling a sense of despair that this was the place my daughter was living in and for those other patients. It is not a very reassuring or consoling place to be. They all deserve a decent place to have treatment and support, a "nice" place to be when you're at your lowest and most desperate rather than be treated as if you're a burden and "it's you own fault". Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of well meaning staff, but it certainly varies depending on who is on shift. IMO, people recovering from a MH crisis need a calm, friendly, supportive environment where they can feel valued and respected, listened to and understood. I know it's not straightforward and many MH patients will have diverse needs on the road to recovery and yes, many if not most, will suffer a relapse at some point. When my daughter was relapsing she was so terrified of going back to the MH unit that she refused treatment voluntarily and when the MH team wanted to admit her, got so distressed that she had to be restrained by police and detained under section. Because she knew what the place was like.

Surely this is piss-take. That video only reminds me of the TikTok murderer.

You do know she has had MH struggles of her own, don't you? I think that gives her the right to express those issues in her songs. Her fan base is very likely a mix of ages who actually enjoy her music. I never understood the reaction of teen girls in the 60's to The Beatles and I'm still not a fan. That doesn't mean I don't look at them and say, well done you, rather than simply dismissing them as "crap", just because they weren't my cup of tea.

I haven't listened to it so I feel I can't comment. I assume you have. Which tracks did you find particularly irritating? And yes, it tells me they are, by a vast majority, teenage girls. Do you think teenage girls are weirdos?

This video/song. For every son who's lost a dad who was their hero:

He's doing a "Brendan".

A few years back, I was due to work a shift with a colleague but there was a spare man with no crewmate. As a lead paramedic I was taken off the crew and put on a response car as a solo responder. The ambulance I would have been on was subsequently involved in a fatal collision in which the patient in the back was killed and the med tech was seriously injured and as a result, had to retire on health grounds. As a solo responder, I was sent to the incident to manage the scene and treat casualties until support got there. I didn't know who or which vehicle was involved until I arrived, first on scene. It was a mess. I have flashbacks that the seat in the back would have been occupied by me had the spare man not taken my place. Time for a G and T after that post.

I assume you haven't seen @Daggersrecent post about his health scare?

Body found in search for two-year-old boy who fell in river - BBC News It's him, isn't it.

Well, I found that on the LM website so it must be correct, no?

No. Musculature. Big throbbing veins is a potential sign. Don't look down...

Do you ever wonder if you'll be one of those "lost" yet remembered on FT? I guess we'll never know unless there's a heaven and we can look down on FD. How frustrating it would be to be unable to post from beyond the grave.

Having the time of his life and probably a welcome respite from other personal issues he has to think about. I can't blame him. He comes across as a very nice guy. Is he electable? Genuinely nice guys don't do well in politics but he's going to get a lot of support just for being decent. I get the feeling he's just letting the big two get on with it. Lib Dems still 3rd out of 3.

We have put up a bird feeder designed for small birds to access and intending to keep the pigeons and other larger birds from being able to get food from it. It's on a thin branch that wouldn't support the larger birds. I have just watched a magpie land on a thicker branch adjacent to the feeder, peck off a few leaves in order to get a decent grip and then hop along using his weight to get the branch to lower to a level where he could take the food from the feeder. Incredible.

Two words: Greed. Power.

Except... It remained a popular venue and continued until it closed in 1974. After its closure it became Baileys Club in the same year until its closure in 1977. Something's not right
