My main thought when I saw the promo poster for Ripley was 'What's Andrew Scott doing in my nan' s house? '
With such a rich seam of literary genius, it's quite hard to pin down your favourite William Shakespeare quote. Here's mine.
Versace revisiting the girls' school shoe of choice in 1993 when I started teaching. All that's missing is the green Kickers label.
At non-uniform day, there was a girl with an Unknown Pleasures T-shirt. In the traditional Ramones/Nirvana manner, I asked her what her favourite Joy Division tracks were. She said Warsaw, Atmosphere and Shadowplay. Humbled, I walked away. In silence.
On the 6th October 2023 I shared a link on X to a Mail Online article entitled ‘Militant union leader at the heart of doctors strikes is a Labour activist who boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift. I accept that my words were misleading as the subject in question…
With the sewage discharges affecting marine mammals and banning tents for the homeless, the Tories are now really awful, for all in tents and porpoises
At the end of the day you're another day warmer.

Had OFSTED last Wednesday. Draft report on Tuesday. Final report on Friday. Even Craig David doesn't work at that pace.
Our 12 Year 8 Science classes are named after elements in Group 1 and Group 7. It's odd to have a group called Tennessine, particularly when the element wasn't discovered until 17 years after I'd started teaching!
Tory Education Record • Tripled tuition fees • Cut teacher pay 20% • Shut 400 schools • Halved building schools budget • Diverted cash to private schools • Fat Cat Headteachers taking £300-450k salaries • Axed 800 libraries • Shut 1,200 Sure Starts • Axed EMA
“We’ve under-invested in schools so much that many are not safe to attend. But you absolutely must attend school even if you are ill to get good exam results. But don’t worry because in spite of all the pressure nobody really cares about your exam results.” DfE, summer 2023
Michael Gove scrapped the £56bn school building project in 2010 that was set to replace every single RAAC school in the UK. He then replaced it with nothing. Fast forward 13 years and they are all falling down. Whose fault is it?
The Icon of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world holds 5,610 in hotel luxury. The Bibby Stockholm holds 220, or 500 if you squash them in. They both cost £1.6bn, one to buy, the other to rent for 2 years. The corruption and grift is insane. Jail these crooks.
Congratulations to the Spanish football team for effectively shutting Neil Diamond out of the post-match playlist.
I think it's easier to handle nitroglycerine than trying to get home from Aldi whilst keeping the icing on top of the twin pack of Belgian buns.
