If you need an example of the financial insanity of the @NHSuk @NHSEngland- this equipment, not all of it actually used, is going to the skip as the hospital that issued it is not allowed to take it back due to the danger of cross-contamination. @wesstreeting why?? #nhs

Perfect casting still round - RIP.
Val Kilmer is part of one of the greatest heist sequences in film history . Everything about Kilmer in this moment in Heat feels so real. Val Kilmer was just that dude: a vintage Hollywood bad-ass.

What an appalling decision - this our nation’s history which is vanishing. Why?.
Sad for me. I’ve got this from the Imperial War Museums closing the Lord Ashcroft Gallery displaying around 200 VC’s representing the finest deeds of servicemen in UK’s history. Sadly into storage for the time being and my £5m cost to open lost. Please visit before closing…
