Yes but what about fractions? 😂

Took me all day but it was worth the pondering!

I think it is more nuanced than that. For some school is their launch pad regardless. Like they know home won’t save them but school can so they cling onto education and milk it for all it’s worth. But many can’t do that - too damaged, too directionless, too burdened. Then it’s often marginal sadly.

Hope you are ok. Also worried you might need to give up the cryptics!
Seriously I started listening to ebooks on my commute instead of news analysis and I felt the difference straight away.

When you have more money you can better take advantage of the money saving offers. This should bother us all.

Hmmm. I’m at the not guessed and no idea how stage!! 😂

Well then in that reflection alone the form has had impact. Bravo that mighty form.

How about, “Everything AI hasn’t stolen about regulation - yet”?

A real issue here is the expectation the big headlines have left parents with, compared to the reality of the two TAs a secondary can afford from the funding.

This one just jumped out at me. This has been a better week. Hope it continues!

He. But a very girly looking he!

I thought I’d show you my new cushion.
The one I bought.
For my sofa.
Where I sit.

I thought it sounded quite grand!

Finally a good result!

You must be a wizard to have got this with no clues. Painful day for me!

Not seen this one. Thank you!

I loved these so much.

Would have been much better if govt had paid a good share of tuition fees those 2 years. It’s understandable that universities could do no more than they did, but dreadful that not-far-off-children suffered and will pay tens of thousands of pounds for it.

Information coming out at half term reminds me of the hell of covid. Staggering to the end of term with neither acknowledgement or gratitude only to have your break tainted by the next layers of hell.

😂 I thought that was one of your clues and you’d forgotten the number of letters!

IT IS NOT RAINING!

There is no better feeling than when an ex-student comes to school for a catch up and delivers a gift: a personally designed t-shirt celebrating our School of the Year award. Thank you Jordan for our amazing Dodici Otto design. Easily the coolest item of clothing I have the pleasure to own.

Finally one that jumped out at me after a couple of chemically torturous days!

Suella Braverman accuses Tories of betrayal as she defects to Reform UK The MP was unveiled as Reform's latest recruit by leader Nigel Farage at a rally, bringing the number of the party's sitting MPs to eight.

Naively I had no idea you could vote for one party and if your MP changes party your vote moves with them.
Seems rife for underhand manipulation.
And very insulting.

There is little that is as satisfying as looking in someone else’s fridge.

I agree with that.

I’d be quite irritated if I learnt nothing new to be honest.

After a rough few days I finally get one in reasonable circumstances!
