As a #NCFC fan, I am not delighted at the news of being booted out of my seat! Decades of loyalty to get usurped for padded seats (& that corporate gold).

"To fund his golfing ambitions, McIlroy's parents took on extra jobs. Gerry worked 100 hours a week; he cleaned toilets and showers at a local sports club in the mornings, served as a bartender at Holywood Golf Club from 12 to 6 pm, then returned to the sports club to work behind the bar in the evenings. Rosie looked after Rory during the day, and worked night shifts packaging rolls of tape at a 3M factory in Bangor, County Down. Due to their conflicting schedules, McIlroy's parents rarely saw each other during this period. Gerry later said: "I had no idea what else to do. I’m a working-class man. We wanted to give our only child a chance."
After finding success as a professional golfer, McIlroy bought his parents a house in 2009, and stated: "I’ll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they’ll never have to work another day. I’ll do whatever it takes to look after them."

With just over 2 months until regulation please see the latest information and news from the @gmcuk .
We’ve published an update about the steps we’re taking to prepare for the regulation of physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) in December 2024 – gmc-uk.org/news/news-archive… We’ve shared this with healthcare system leaders across the UK.
This includes information about:
- The detailed report we’ll publish in December with the feedback from our public consultation
- How we’ll register PAs and AAs
- Our work to quality assure the education and training of PAs and AAs
- How we’ll handle concerns raised with us about PAs and AAs
- Appraisals for PAs and AAs, ahead of future revalidation
We’ll continue to work with colleagues across the system to make sure that regulation is implemented effectively and supports our shared goal of improving patient safety and care.
