@StephenNolan What a reductionist approach. Face to face? I work in a team of 10 in a small charity working to prevent Alzheimer's: Ireland, NI, Scotland, Wales, England. Our communication, camaraderie, productivity and creativity is through the roof. I have friends for life.

@mikenesbittni @StephenNolan I've just seen 63 yr old denied a flu vaccine. She used the word 'terrified': close family member died in hospital from flu yesterday/another family member is in hospital & she needs to visit. This is not good enough. I'm 'lucky' - I was able to pay.

@easyJet @BristolAirport Absolutely shameful treatment tonight on the Belfast flight. Delays, delays, no information, wrong information, NO staff, no point of contact, no one to help - some very distressed passengers. Do better, ex-easyjet customer

@StephenNolan - you can go abroad, get a cosmetic procedure and receive NHS care if needed - even when it has gone wrong

@StephenNolan - afternoon energy slumps/ tiredness is likely to be a drop in blood sugar after eating a carb heavy lunch (meal deal hell!)

@StephenNolan - you have no control month to month how much energy companies can take as a direct debit. The only answer is to cancel them and switch to a standing order that you DO have control of.
Replying to @StephenNolan
@StephenNolan so if you've been in a lucky position to pre-load your electric does this mean when you top up (and presumably get a longer code to switch your rate to the new rate), they can claw back all your credit at the new, much higher tariffs?
Replying to @BBCAnyQuestions
@BBCAnyQuestions There are THREE Ukrainian dentists with one host family here in Northern Ireland (and a dentistry crisis)
Replying to @JustJackMonroe
@BootstrapCook I found out the hard way that the energy provider can vary your DD amount without recourse to you! Cancelling and SO at least gives you control.
Replying to @StephenNolan
@StephenNolan - what about the breaking news that the largest GP practice is simply withdrawing all services in February 2023? Priory Surgery in Bangor and Holywood released a statement yesterday, reported by Andrew Muir MLA

@StephenNolan @SJAMcBride Did the Chief Vet and Mr Poots take the record tampering in relation to TB into account when they decided a badger cull was the way forward earlier this year? 🤔

@lidl_ni Do you know when your champagne will be back in stock? 😋
Replying to @BBCevex
@BBCevex - currently staying near Valencia. The care and caution being taken here is unbelievable! No wonder cases so low. Can we not look and learn?
Replying to @StephenNolan
@StephenNolan If someone goes into a shop - to shop - surely it'll only be at the till/production of voucher that it will become apparent that the person isn't vaccinated?
