        It looks like the first message is one that would be sent to a doctor or the surgery from a testing facility rather than anything which would be sent directly to a patient.

        Not that that would necessarily rule out malicious intent at some point.

            I'm more curious about what year that photo is taken in. Those prices are extremely low.

              Just a little bowl of hot grease, perhaps.

                        A New Year's Eve fireworks display had to be cancelled at the last minute to protect an Arctic walrus discovered in Scarborough.

                        The event was called off over fears it "could cause distress to the mammal".

                        Council leader Steve Siddons said he was disappointed but "the welfare of the walrus has to take precedence".

                        The walrus, which drew huge crowds after arriving on Saturday, is now believed to have headed out into the North Sea

                          It only came for the fireworks and left in the huff when there weren't any.

                            Presumably the same one that visited Kerry, and the Welsh subsequently claimed.

                                No, still alive and last seen in Iceland, as far as can be traced.

                                  I had a genuine laugh-out-loud moment when the news reporter said that the locals referred to Thor (as he has been named) as a 'comfort' as he had only 'comfort day'.

                                      Tom Holland is no more a historian than I'm a political scientist or a lawyer.

                                        Public Image Ltd, ( yes the very same) are among the entrants to represent Ireland in this year's Eurovision song contest.

                                          I'm filing Tom Holland and Tom Hollander under 'People I Thought Were the Same Person Until Very Recently.' If it hadn't been for the Thor films, Tom Hiddlestone would probably have been included. Plus, I have a nasty feeling my mental image of Dominic Sandbrook is actually Dominic West.

                                          I'm turning into my mum and I'm not sure I should be allowed any more opinions on people until I've had a re-test.

                                            Tom Holland is the latest Spider-Man, if that helps.

                                              He's better at being Spider-Man than running a unionist (including NI unionist!) think tank/floating discredited bs about Mecca being near ancient Syria/Palestine.

                                                I haven't seen the film or heard the podcast. Feeling more inclined to see a Spiderman I hadn't imagined as the guy from In the Loop. Does make more sense as a casting decision.

                                                  Historian is up there with philosopher, theologian, and journalist among the most frequently claimed job title people frequently claim despite not having any credentials to do so or credibility among the people who have actually earned the right to call themselves that.

                                                    You do wonder how awful an area must be if its own residents liken it to a scorched hellscape:
