The head of Africa CDC has warned that the unprecedented Ebola outbreak could reach the UK. Comparing the threat to Covid, he said: "We want all countries to know that they are not safe."

Just watched the #Ghosts film. Bloody brilliant.
Went in knowing a laugh or two, or seven, would be guaranteed. Came out wondering how such an eclectic mix of dead people can make you feel so much better about being alive.
The writing, the performances, the jokes, the sentiments, those little looks that say more than an entire speech, the heartfelt moments, the comedic moments… I could happily watch that lot talk about absolutely nothing for another hour and thirty-seven minutes at any given moment.
No spoilers from me. Just a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for making something so funny, warm and thoroughly lovely.
Right off to food club...

its actually quite refreshing to have a PM whose embarrassing history involves raising money for charity, rather than burning £50 notes in front of homeless people and shagging pigs...
Andy Burnham's 'Strictly' dance video, found by #BBCBreakfast
The PM said on TV show 'Gogglebox' for Stand Up To Cancer he has a "clang of anxiety" when discussing dancing - after taking part in a charity event for the Rob Burrow centre for MND

My friend's dad accidentally became the most popular person in his apartment building because he didn't understand the group chat.
Someone posted, “Does anybody have a ladder?”
He replied, “Yes.”
Then nothing.
The person eventually knocked on his door, borrowed the ladder, and returned it.
A few days later, somebody asked if anyone could help carry a sofa upstairs.
He replied, “Yes.”
He helped.
Then someone needed a ride to the hardware store.
“Yes.”
For about two months, this retired man responded to nearly every request with the same single word.
His daughter finally explained that he wasn't obligated to help everybody.
He looked offended.
“I know that.”
“Then why do you keep saying yes?”
He shrugged.
“People keep needing things I can do.”
Last month, the building organized a little birthday party for him in the lobby.
He showed up carrying extra folding chairs because he thought somebody might need them.

The scrambled eggs at a hotel breakfast are 19% water, and they're dyed.
A lot of hotels and cafeterias pour them from a carton of Papetti's Breakfast Blend. The spec sheet reads whole eggs, 19% water, then under 2% of salt, xanthan gum, citric acid, annatto color and natural butter flavor. Papetti's is part of Michael Foods, one of the biggest egg processors in the country.
Every ingredient has a job on a steam table. Xanthan gum holds the added water in the egg so it doesn't weep into the pan. Citric acid keeps the eggs from turning gray or green under a heat lamp. Annatto puts back the yolk color the water washed out. The butter flavor is there because nobody is going to add butter. The carton keeps for 98 days in the cooler.
The plain version from the same company is whole eggs, whey, skim milk, xanthan and citric acid, with almost no added water and half the sodium.

A Welshman walks into a ‘Spoons.
Tells the barman he's got a great joke about Reform voters.
The barman tells him that he's a Reform voter, so are the 3 big guys at the end of the bar and the 2 woman sat next to him.
'So do you still want to tell it', the barman says.
The man says. 'No. Not if I'm going to have to explain it 6 times"... 😆

Ilhan Omar did not marry her brother.
Abdul El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood.
Amy Acton was raped by her step-father and her mother is crazy.
James Talarico is neither gay nor vegan. (Not that it should matter.)
Some of y'all are gullible AF and should learn to use Google.

Exactly 1 year ago little Stormzy came in. He had been told he had to be put to sleep as his brain injury was so bad.
Just look at him now ❤️
