There’s a planning application to convert a commercial building to apartments hotel on the high street. Not entirely convinced it will be a hotel, rather HMO once building has been completed. planning.hillingdon.gov.uk/O…

I can not believe the amount of people abusing John Davidson today. What happened was deeply unfortunate and of course I know many people have been upset by it, which is regrettable. But - It clearly wasn’t deliberate, nor intended nor could it be controlled. I really hope John is ok. What happened was I imagine, his worst nightmare and I’d bet he feels terrible about it today. Shame on all of you sticking the boot in to a disabled man. Most of you of course from the ‘be kind’ brigade (when we all know, you are anything but). This lady explains it well…

Lets all be s bit more like this kid 💖

A chilled day today, reading this in Pret. We need more people like @J7healthJaveno in this world and those people he trains, are true heros. If you haven't seen his social media videos, definitely go looking for them. He is an inspiration. xx

In 1951, a 14-year-old Australian boy named James Harrison woke up in a hospital bed with 100 stitches across his chest. Doctors had just removed one of his lungs. To survive, he needed 13 units of donated blood from complete strangers—people whose names he would never know. His father, Reg, sat beside him and said something that changed his life: "You're only alive because people donated blood." Right there, James made a promise. The moment he turned 18, he would donate blood. He would pay back the gift that saved him. There was just one problem. James was terrified of needles. But in 1954, the day he became eligible, he walked into a blood donation center anyway. He sat in the chair, looked at the ceiling, and let the nurse insert the needle. He never watched. Not once. Not in 64 years. What James didn't know was that his blood was different. After a few donations, doctors discovered something extraordinary. His plasma contained an incredibly rare antibody—likely developed from all those transfusions he received as a boy. This antibody could prevent a deadly condition called Rhesus disease. Before this discovery, thousands of Australian babies were dying every year. When a pregnant woman with Rh-negative blood carried an Rh-positive baby, her body would attack the child's blood cells. Miscarriages. Stillbirths. Brain damage. James's blood held the answer. Doctors asked if he would switch to plasma donation. It meant longer sessions—90 minutes instead of 20. It meant coming in every few weeks for the rest of his life. James thought about his fear. Then he thought about the babies. He said yes. For 64 years, James Harrison never missed an appointment. He donated through joy and heartbreak. He donated while working as a railway clerk. He donated after retiring. He continued even after his wife Barbara passed away in 2005—what he called his "darkest days." Every single time—all 1,173 donations—he looked at the ceiling. He chatted with nurses. He studied the walls. Anything to avoid watching the needle. The fear never left him. But he showed up anyway. In a beautiful twist, his own daughter needed the very medication created from his blood when she became pregnant. His grandson Scott exists because of the choice his grandfather made decades earlier. In May 2018, at age 81, Australian law required James to make his final donation. The room was filled with mothers holding healthy babies—living proof of his quiet heroism. They thanked him through tears. James sat in the chair one last time, looked away from his arm one last time, and gave his 1,173rd donation. Over 3 million doses of Anti-D medication containing his blood have been issued since 1967. Scientists estimate his contributions helped save approximately 2.4 million babies in Australia alone. When people called him a hero, he shrugged it off. "I'm in a safe room, donating blood," he said. "They give me a cup of coffee and something to nibble on. And then I just go on my way. No problem, no hardship." James Harrison died peacefully in his sleep on February 17, 2025. He was 88 years old. We often search for heroes in movies or history books—people with superpowers, wealth, or fame. But sometimes a hero is just someone who keeps a quiet promise for 64 years. Someone who feels fear—deep, trembling fear—and does the right thing anyway. Millions of people are alive today because one man decided his fear mattered less than their lives. What small act of courage could you commit to, even when it scares you

458 British servicemen & women killed in Afghanistan were not “a little off the front line.” They paid the highest price on it. Whatever your politics, this contempt for their sacrifice is a red line and should unite us all. 🇬🇧

Bloody hell😳😳😳 That got me a little bit, & as I always say, enjoy the moment, make the memories, live life👊👊💙💙 #livelife
