    Oh dear! That's sad.

    Nice of you to give her company!

      Ordered a take away on the phone for collection. Went to the takeaway and the chef looked at me confused.

      After 5 minutes of going through his orders, he was positive I hadn't called. On verifying the number, realized it was a different take away

            A friend of my father's - male - died due to anorexia in his 70s a couple of years ago. The doctor had advised him to lose weight for the good of his heart, and he became obsessed. After a year or so he'd wasted away to skin and bone, despite the best efforts of his wife and doctor to persuade him that he now needed to eat more, and he collapsed and died one day due to malnutrition.

            Not the sort of thing you expect to happen to a normal middle-class man living in retirement in a peaceful village, but it shows it can happen to anyone

                After the bitter controversy provoked by last night's gammon and pineapple, I'm going to dial it down tonight and just have soup or an omelette or something

                    Indeedy. Super efficient - brought weeping woman into waiting room, sat her down next to me (thanks ) brought her a cup of tea, spake with guard to get us into first class and saw her onto the train.

                      What does "frame a tweet" mean?
