I love Stephen. The face of a doomed WW1 officer and the wardrobe of John Travolta. #thetraitors

Do we think this will shut him up about winning one properly?

DAVID ENTERED A POOL COMPETITION BUT DIDN'T GET ANYWHERE AS THE TABLE WAS WONKY.

I did not know I had won a prize.

I have to make a speech this morning and have been up early preparing for it. I shall be glad when it is done.

What a dreadful year it has been.

You can get your music back with a pencil.

If I had to put money on a human to come through for the good of us all, I'd put it on Karen Carney. What a woman. And if I had to put money on a #Strictly Pro for making sure we saw his partner, I'd put it on Carlos. What a choreographer. I delight in them both.

I'm OK with paying a licence fee for BBC, but really not OK with paying Trump. Over the years, we've seen so much waste of tax payers' money, but somehow this has symbolism way beyond the waste of the past. If he gets a single penny out of this, all hope is lost. I want a court case, not a pay-off.

Another thing I like about #CelebrityTraitors is that as someone who knows nothing about Rugby, I could have spent my whole life not knowing how awesome Joe M is but now I do.

I reckon Celia and Paloma should invite Alan round to dinner next week, wearing their final outfits. Wot larks! #CelebrityTraitors

Love how first thing all the banished/murdered say on #Traitors when they find out is 'but Paloma'. Much as I was gutted at the time, comforted by the thought the shortest time turns out the most iconic. And, we all get to remember how fab she looked as well, which is a win for Paloma, isn't it?

This exhibition on the South Coast's forgotten railway workers is opening on Monday in our very own Park Building in Portsmouth. We're looking forward to seeing it! bsky.app/profile/rwld... via @rwldproject.bsky.social

I have discovered a pile of Nigel droppings under my bed tonight.

Liz Kendall's speeches are like someone reading a story to a primary school class (exaggerated tones/facial expressions), but with content that will give them nightmares (no-one ever lives happily ever after because they haven't saved enough).

We made Aesop. He is a crowd-sourced literary celebrity. He is the lie that sustains the truth of his stories. And at a time when the distinction between fact and fiction seems paper thin, the way we construct the fictions that support our facts - what we call “a narrative” - matters more than ever.

Agree. Many an evening, I've gone looking for this place.

they should invent unprecedented times that are good

From the start of the Government's "largest review of the water sector since privatisation", public ownership was removed from consideration. Will you help me put it back on the table? actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

Dr Who Line of Duty Spooks (Soz, but only 3 I wanted to go on forever)

When once I reflected on my place in the world as a woman, it was a reflection on progress, and women who had gone before and fought for my future. In that reflection, I never for a moment imagined anything so abhorrent as being told to have more children by Nigel Farage.

In all the 'debate' now going on about young Europeans coming here to work/study for a couple of years, heard nothing yet (TV news) about young Brits getting a slither of opportunity at last, when God knows there's not much for them here. Much focus on 'economic gain' too; none on life enrichment.

Oh this is fantastic

If the president can spend a quarter of his days in office golfing, corporations can give workers a four-day work week.

Life doesn't get boring as you get older, life stays the same but the boring stuff gets exciting and the exciting stuff gets annoying because it interrupts the boring stuff

Only two things get you sacked: 1. Explicitly or implicitly criticising Trump; and 2. Proving more popular than Trump. That's it.

@yorkshiretea.bsky.social Great ad with the lovely Sarah Lancashire. ☕❤️

Word of the day is ‘pavonise’ (19th century): to strut about like a peacock, all puffed up with conceit.

Interesting info on languages in the job market.

Super news about MBE. YOU DESERVE IT. Well done.

Thank you very much for the cardigan I've been wanting this colour because Mummy burnt my other one.

Scrooge: You there, boy! What day is it? ChatGPT: Days were invented by the Druids in 1974

It's been my feeling for a while now, & crystallises that I believe this too.

1. Horse is ill 2. Dog on heat (5th week) & has cut paw 3. Mother is ill 4. Nigel does not understand 5. Frozen pipes 6. Selling house & property. Will explain later.

My Christmas list this year: - rolling library ladder - home library for rolling library ladder - home for home library for rolling library ladder

Ruth, whilst I think of it: you shall receive some printed films, to bring out to me. Meg is posting them to Kodak. Nowt to pay. If you have room, please brig 2 tins "Plenamins" (vitamins) for me. Pay you on arrival. And - if any space - MARMITE.

My students were recreating historic landmarks and events with Lego in this week's seminar. Talking about the models in front of other students was a great and fun way to develop presentation skills. I present: The Berlin Wall, the moon landing & a pyramid.

“We’ve closed all the arts and humanities departments, but those depts are low cost and actually run operational surplus on tuition fee income alone. We now have to close other more expensive depts. The ones cross-subsidized by the arts, humanities and social science depts we’ve now closed”

This is great. It's like arriving at a party and finding all your besties.
