She said: "I'm not replying to you if you just write to me 'how much'.
"Sorry? How much for what? How much for nails? How much for training? Eyebrows? Hair? A lift to your mum's house?
"Like what even happened to 'hey how are you?'. Not even a 'how are you?' Just like a 'hi'.
"'Hi. How much is nails?' Or 'how much is training?'
"[Just] 'How much?' Like? I'm sorry but I can't even reply because I feel like it's like a waste of my time because then I know you're not going to reply back to me again."

Thousands of cancer patients could be undergoing unnecessary overtreatment
Up to 5,000 men in the UK could be undergoing unnecessary overtreatment for prostate cancer annually due to 'outdated' guidelines. Prostate Cancer UK warns that current National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, last updated in 2021, do not account for advances in testing and diagnosis, leading to overtreatment. Overtreatment of slow-growing prostate cancers can result in severe side effects such as erectile dysfunction and incontinence, which could often be avoided with active monitoring. Experts describe a "wild west" or "postcode lottery" in care, with overtreatment rates varying significantly across England and many hospitals developing their own inconsistent guidelines.

Mother reveals 'unimaginable' loss after son, 30, died from 'smoking vape laced with opioid 20 times more powerful than fentanyl'
A mother has revealed her heart-wrenching loss after her son allegedly died from smoking a vape laced with an opioid. Freddy Ireland-Rose, 30, died last September following an accidental overdose of nitazenes, a drug thought to be around 20 times more powerful than fentanyl. He had been using a cannabis vape in a bid to withdraw from opiates and had been buying the liquid refills on the internet, an inquest in front of the Inner North London assistant coroner Sarah Bourke previously heard. After being found unresponsive at home with the device in his hand, paramedics succeeded in rescuscitating him but he did not regain consciousness and died in hospital a few days later. Now Ireland-Rose's mother has spoken out about her 'unimaginable' loss following the death of her son, as well as the potential reasons for his overdose, in an interview with the BBC. She said: 'Once you are mother, you can't un-mother yourself, even when the person is not there. He was such a vivid personality. And it's just a vast, bottomless hole really.' The heartbroken mother also revealed Ireland-Rose had been using the same vape for two or three weeks and had been receiving Jiffy bags from Amsterdam among other places. 'I don't think for one minute, and neither do any of his friends, that he took this intentionally. So, we can only assume it was in another illicit drug that he was taking, another opioid, or that it was the vape. 'And my question at the inquest was, is it possible that this contaminated the vapes and they came back with the answer, yes it was possible.' She suggested that the nitazenes had either entered her son's system by these means or through pills, and that people's lack of awareness of the opioids was alarming. In a Prevention of Future Deaths Report, Ms Bourke previously warned about cannabis vapes being contaminated by nitazenes, normally used as a synthetic pain reliever. She added that the risk of overdose was 'significant' because the amount ingested through inhalation could 'vary enormously'. The danger was greater given the lack of access to the antidote naloxone. Ms Bourke pointed out that nitazenes have entered into the UK heroin supply, but there was no evidence to suggest Ireland-Rose had taken street heroin before his overdose. Nitazenes were first created in the 1950s as opioid painkillers but were never approved for medical use. For 70 years, their existence was forgotten. Then, after Britain and America's withdrawal from Afghanistan - and the Taliban's subsequent narcotics ban - they re-emerged as a way to strengthen low-purity heroin in case opium supplies dwindled. Experts are united in their fear of the rising risk of nitazenes. Yet, while heroin users are still vulnerable, young people buying traditionally legal drugs such as Valium and Xanax as coping mechanisms are also at risk. In fact, MailOnline analysis of data from the UK's only drug testing facility Wedinos has revealed that two-thirds of samples that contained nitazenes were supposed to be legal medications that could be purchased legally. Two-thirds of that total were bought by people intending to buy Valium (diazepam). So far, the number of nitazene-related deaths only stands at 458 in the last two years, up to April 13. However, there was a 166 per cent increase from 2023 (125 deaths) to 2024 (333 deaths) - more than double in a single year, and even that total is expected to rise once toxicology and forensic testing improves and is finalised. Steve Rolles, a senior policy analyst at the Transform Drug Policy Foundation, told MailOnline: 'The number of deaths is rising at an alarming rate. It's the tip of the iceberg. 'What has happened in the US should be a warning to policymakers in the UK. We could be heading to a US-style overdose crisis. We are talking thousands or tens of thousands dying. 'All the indications are that is what is happening. I'm very wary of scaremongering about drugs but I'm deeply worried about the potential carnage opioids could do in the UK. 'We already have the highest overdose rate in Europe. Nitazenes could make it way, way worse. 'This is a very serious public health emergency that's not being taken seriously enough.' He added: 'I am scared. There's almost one person dying every day from nitazenes and most people haven't even heard of it. 'If it was anything else, there would be national panic. The government hasn't grasped the urgency of this.' Rolles is starting to see heroin mixed with nitazenes on the streets of Britain. He said: 'It does seem it's getting more [prevalent] as the heroin supply dries up.'

Women's Rugby World Cup players to wear mouthguards that light up on heavy impact
Aug 12 (Reuters) - Players at the upcoming Women's Rugby World Cup will sport high-tech mouthguards that light up red when they suffer heavy head impacts, in a move aimed at improving player safety and reducing concussion, British media reported. The smart gumshields will send an alert to the match-day doctor warning of possible concussions during the August 22 to September 27 tournament in England, while referees will be advised to stop play upon seeing the red flash. The LED mouthguards are set to be implemented in top-flight rugby next season following the Women's Rugby World Cup, British media reported. The technology builds on World Rugby's introduction of smart mouthguards as part of the Head Injury Assessment (HIA) process in October 2023, which debuted in the WXV women's competition that year before being integrated into the HIA from January 2024. "If you want to be involved in the off-field assessment, you need to be wearing the mouthguard, so there are male players who opt out of getting an off-field HIA because they don't want to wear an instrumented mouthguard," Dr Eanna Falvey, chief medical officer at World Rugby, was quoted as saying by The Times. "We've had players who decided that they don't like the fact that it's a Bluetooth device, we've had players that feel it's uncomfortable, we've had players who don't want to know. "The women's leagues and teams and competitions, I don't know the reason for it, but they're much more likely to collaborate, they're much more accepting and excited about opportunities in technology. "We have full opt-in for the World Cup now. There are two people wearing braces so they physically can't wear it, but other than that we're full opt-in." Reuters has contacted World Rugby for comment.
