Copium supplies in Sunderland are at an all time low.
Ruined their football weekend 24 hours before they kick off.

Someone could.
Usual mackem bullshit bingo over there. The PL is shite, we've bribed the officials, they could beat Spurs, Jobe Bellingham is worth £200 million etc.

He'll be on the bucky with Tuchel tonight. The state of them.

Best festive period I can ever remember. Unlike other seasons, we don't have an injury crisis. Draw against Arsenal, beat them at home, revenge for 73. It's happening.

Rubbish second half. Don't think we had our foot on the game at all. The subs didn't really change the game for us either, we just seemed to invite pressure. That said, I'm absolutely delighted with 3 points on the road. Up the Toon!
Yeah, but don't let that detract from the first half when we smashed them. Also, ateod our defending was class.

Need to be a little more clinical if we're being picky on this run we've been on, the Ipswich and Leicester scores could've been doubled as could Villa and Man U tbh. One goal in it and burn on a yellow I'd rather be two goals to the good when we're creating chances than the one.

It's rife on the private market. I know a shit load of nurses/doctors who do Botox on the side and are now chucking out Ozempic scripts outwith NICE guidance on minimum BMIs.Ive dropped about 16lbs in 4 months through diet and exercise and i'm 42, so it can be done if people could be arsed.
Aye, so it becomes a lifestyle drug for those who can afford it. Far from ideal.
-
That's what I mean, there is no one size fits all in Pharma. Companies need to also be incentivised to treat or cure rare conditions but need to be reimbursed.
Ozempic is an interesting one mind. I've lost as much weight by changing my diet as an average Ozempic user over the same time period in the last 6 months. Not everyone can do that though. Problem is, if you reserve this treatment for the most obese only, it creates a perverse moral hazard where people will deliberately become morbidly obese to qualify for the drug on the NHS. Health economics is full of such quandaries.

Those comments coming to his attention is neither here nor there. It's not like he's open to constructive criticism and will change course.
That site is his platform. The only thing that can bring the platform down is if it has so few users that it becomes unviable. You do that by leaving, not by hanging around to slap him on the wrist.
The truth is that the likes of Ianucci promote their work on twitter and they dont want to give that up.
I can't see left persuaded people leaving making a difference either way at this point. Easy for me to leave, but if I'm a journalist whose work partly relies on it and I have thousands of followers, the threshold is higher (but increasingly being met).

"Is curing patients a sustainable business model ?"
Christ on a bike !!
There is market failure for a lot of new treatments nowadays for various reasons and as such we do need to think out if the box how development companies are reimbursed otherwise there will be no new drugs for those patient groups. We've already seen this with antibiotics and as a result we are pretty close to an "end of medicine" catastrophic situation. No antibiotics, no surgery.
Reminds me of a time I gave a lecture arguing that for many conditions the most cost effective treatment was a gun. It was meant as a joke but there is actually some truth in it, it's just the way we assess cost effectiveness. Kill patients you remove all life benefits but also all there healthcare costs. Anyway, the lecture wasn't well received.

Wow. When was the last time we were odds on favourites to beat Spurs away in the league?

Am I right in saying he’s unlikely to be jailed?…
I'll bare my arse in Fenwicks window if he is.
Now you're all hoping he isn't aren't you?
It's typical how this has worked out for him. This was by far the least egregious case against him, was the only one that got to court, and allowed him to play victim and claim conspiracy, thus deflecting the much more serious charges. Nation of idiots.

A small thing maybe but I've just deleted my twitter/x account. I never posted on it but I'd rather have nothing to do with Musk and the more people who delete their accounts and don't buy his shit cars the better.

He's supporting the AfD in Germany too isn't he? I mean far fro me to suggest it, but maybe shit stirring like this in a country with a serious problematic past with the far right perhaps isn't a good idea?
Whatever his motivations, Musk is human scum incarnate.

Aye, that diver he labelled a paedo was able to sue him.Aye, but he wasn't a paedo. Are you as confident Jess Phillips isn't a genocidal rapist enabler?
She should get legal involved but you know Starmer won't let it happen.

I am surprised you weren't confronted, didn't say a word, went all sheepish and shuffled away with you head down tbh whilst the passing tourists (and locals) all high fived your tormentor.
And then tipped over his Connect 4 in frustration muttering "Verdammt noch mal mackems!"*.
* When I holidayed in Play del Ingles it was incredibly German and every bar had a connect 4 board on each table for some bizarre reason. Mind this was *checks* 30 years ago.

I hope Jess Philips is on the phone to her lawyer right now.
Can she sue him across international boundaries?
It really is fucking ridiculous that the richest man in the World is an insomniac narcotic troll.

And aye, leaving the EU to become an "indpendent" nation and get our freedom back, whilst being increasingly dependent on the US, seems like a good move.
Europe really needs toget its act together to withstand the insane onslaught of this US insanity and we need to join them ASAP.

Good point, let me check the small print here.
