I know we all want a result tonight but don’t start dreaming for something that can’t happen. You know what I’m saying people….

Definitely will listen. Mihir is a refined voice in journalism and his recent piece in The Guardian cites my great uncle - also a former journo’ in the BBC World Service (in the link)

Oh- and considering the recent NLD at the Emptycrates, I recall following the match live on Radio 5 live for the same fixture in 2012. I needed distracting. Having a procedure under local anaesthetic.
Final score 5-2 to “them”
Painful on so many levels 🌰 ✂️

During an evening consultation in 2010. Patient was also a Spurs fan. After we finished he pulled out his phone to let me watch some live events at the San Siro. Just saw it turn 0-3 and I kicked my chair.
So unprofessional 🤭

A genetic anomaly. Because Khan and Marla mixed it up what came out was a smaller version. Almost 20 yrs old son. Which makes me wonder what could have been

Yup. It’s NLD day. Don’t hold back Spooks. I feel there’s more you’re trying to say

Some say MLS fans and chants can be cringe. I disagree- we all have to start somewhere and this from the Whitecaps is class 💪🤣

Had Delta Dec 2020. Three weeks of unremitting fever. Sats dropped to 91% at their lowest. Off work for three weeks before getting back to make up and give vaccines. With the fatigue, breathlessness and palpitations. I was fooked for 6 months trying to work.

No one turns up to ITU, and is back at work the next week.

Completely missed the #COYS and stuff. And it’s the NLD this weekend. We need an Amos in midfield

He wouldn’t know me. But us clinicians know he’s a legend around these parts (or certainly in the noughties when I started out)

Amazing episode on the cup final. But really looking forward to this. Had a few patients when I was a young skinny GP that I referred on to John’s private practice in Luton.
Legendary doesn’t begin to describe John’s stellar career
