‘The owl shriek'd at thy birth,--an evil sign; The night-crow cried, aboding luckless time; Dogs howl'd, and hideous tempest shook down trees; The raven rook'd her on the chimney's top, And chattering pies in dismal discords sung’ (3 Henry VI, 5.6)

Just in case, for those who haven't worked out why the RMT rejected the offer, here's the strings.

Really pleased to trade in my old RoSPA response certificate for the L3CERAD qualification! The course was a great refresher of driving theory and technique. Using recognised accredited quals shows SJA are continuing to push for higher driving standards. #VolunteerNotAmateur

If you see this tweet, quote tweet it with the most recent photo you took of your pet. Here's Mabel doing some people-watching on the way home from the beach.

Great to spend time this afternoon refreshing ECG recognition skills, discussing alternative care pathways & working through resus scenarios with the EACs in Hull!

Some standby CPD with Harry Coutts while on station this morning. Revisiting safe drawing up & IM injections. Booked on for a 10hr shift with YAS today in Hull 🚑

This is one helluva claim. Can I ask which bank? Reason given? What action you’ve taken with banking ombudsman? What evidence that ‘the establishment’ - whatever that is - have called your bank manager to shut down you current account? You really need to substantiate this

Just get in the bin, the lot of you. You've been in government 13 years and have the cheek to blame the workers for the impossible situation you've created! #ToriesOut

Massive thanks to Nick MediMemos.co.uk for delivering an evening of CPD for St John Ambulance’s Operations Team crews in Hull. Great insights into Critical Care provision in YAS, Trauma assessment and HOT principles. Some great stories shared of interagency working between SJA and YAS in Hull too! 👏

Pleased to see the Hull St John Ambulance’s Operations Team Hub returned to a Green assurance rating. It just shows that volunteer-led hubs can still maintain high standards 👏👏

Pleased to say my Emergency Ambulance Crew revalidation portfolio has been signed off! A wide range of 999 calls attended this year, over 300hrs of volunteering, plus reflective practice, on-road observations, CPD and assessment days... Glad I've been let loose again!🚑

Had a great day today talking all things #CriticalCare with our partners from St John Ambulance England who were absolutely sensational in their skills and knowledge. Massively appreciate a great day - joint learning is the way forward 💚 Jon T Yorkshire Ambulance

Brilliant joint working with YAS for their critical care OSCEs in Hull! A great CPD opportunity for St John EACs, coordinated by the brilliant Harry Coutts & Jenny Best. Dan Bevis Harry Coutts

Late to the game, but used the new tread-depth keyring yesterday when doing a VDI. This is the kind of simple ergonomic change that makes a big difference to road safety. No need for crews to hunt for a gauge or (worse) guesstimate how much tread is left! Thanks Tom Willis & team!

The Treatment Centre is up & running Humber Street Sesh We've got a great team of Emergency Responders, Ambulance Crew and HCPs supporting this fantastic local event. The sun is shining and the music has started. Here's to a brilliant day! 😎

Great shift supporting Yorkshire Ambulance in Hull yesterday! Steve joined us as an observer to see how SJA is supporting the NHS. 7 emergency calls attended - a mix of medical, trauma & mental health. Only 3 to Hosp, 4 discharged/referred to alternative care. #VolunteerNotAmateur

Massive thanks to Jon T for delivering a brilliant CPD session on OOHCA for the St John Ambulance England crews in Hull this eve! Great knowledge & insights (plus a new nickname for Curtis too)... Cheers also to Harry Coutts for organising 👍🏻
