He wrote this in the gang’s treehouse just before his mum called him in for his bath.

I’m sorry to say he’s a British American. We both own the weird little elf.

We’re in this together then 🤣. The good news is I know exactly where his station is, so if we need to go to him I can get us there!

I think it’s really complex but our schools and colleges do not lack aspiration overall. Lots are highly innovative in their practice, links with industry etc. However, poverty and lower attainment go hand in hand. We need less poverty & more good industries. Both need strategy & investment.

Or ‘who ref? Me? Moi? Surely not!’ He’s eternally surprised by consequences. 😂

It’s time! After 23 years of marriage, the in-laws are still putting us in the Peach Room of Doom, with the Formica Stool of Chastity, and new for this year, an ironing board for a splash of colour. #DuvetKnowItsChristmas #XmasAtTheInlaws and donate to Centrepoint via @rhodri.biz

Other news reports suggesting they’re concerned re Farage using the optics for retaliation but it will apply to all parties and all foreign donations. It needs doing - and quickly, otherwise we are for sale.

Is Newcastle pitching to join Scotland - and quietly creating a border?! At least on some days we’ve had 4 lanes open on the new A1. Small blessings.

She really is Mandy. I don’t underestimate the huge journey of healing she has ahead of her but I wish her courage and peace. As for the prevalence of perversion and moral bankruptcy in the male population, our eyes have been truly opened.

As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 3 innocent people in Wisconsin, remember the shooter didn't act alone.

He was assisted by 222 House members, 49 Senators, and the NRA.

Fantastic, fantastic venue. Must get another night booked soon!

To be fair that’s probably the best place to be if you’re about to ingest that for lunch 🤢

Particularly weird given he’d have learned how to calculate the curvature of the Earth in order to do his job 🤣

I can’t imagine the economic argument around this but would be interested to see it. It’s not usual to fund business to consumer entities because of a lack of economic impact.

Good grief!!!

US city tells residents to stop sticking googly eyes on its statues The Oregon city of Bend has spent $1,500 (£1,188) on removing googly eyes from seven of the eight sculptures impacted.

We are all the Googly Eye Bandit

Is there anything better than Eustace ball? SIX ON THE BOUNCE!!! 😍🤩💙🤍 #Rovers

And one from Beck!!!!!! This is making my flu/cleaning day much brighter 🤩🤩🤩💙🤍 #Rovers

A Christmas wreath decorated with olives, oranges, a reindeer bell and green velvet ribbon on a dark grey door.

I’ve been messing on…. Like a pig in muck 😂

Gueye celebrating his first goal for Blackburn Rovers

Yep. Watching your little boy (that went to bed at half time) wake and see this that you printed out for them!

As a Lancastrian and NE girl for the last 30yrs I kind of have to for my job 😂 but we can definitely agree that we’re on a roll and it’s absolutely fantastic!!!! Looking forward to short haul travel to Teesside for the next FA cup match 🤣

This is getting a bit embarrassing. It’s like arguments about Liverpool still technically being part of Lancashire. Tees Valley (a Metro area) exists and functions without any relation to Yorkshire as did Teesside. It has more relation to & collaboration with other NE areas.

Yes try that.

You’re welcome! And try a denim needle (or the highest number needle you have). A new one so it’s sharp. If some of the fabric layers will be fully encased then trim them so they’re inside the seam, not under the needle, if that makes sense. Hard to tell from the photo if they will.

A hump jumper tool used with a sewing machine to even out the machine foot over large seams eg on denim.

Do you have something that looks like this in your machine accessory box? It’s a hump jumper! Have a google - you’ll find videos of how to use it to help over chunky seams. Use a thick needle too. Hard to tell from photos if you could grade (trim down) any layers without fraying/visible raw edges

Gotta say I’m no fan of charisma. I mean look around the world and see where charisma got us 😂. I’m a boring old fan of competence and decency. And currently, brummie accents!

Agree entirely. I loved him but what’s come out since makes me think he wasn’t a positive people manager. Szmods seemed to like him but I guess it’s easy to keep your record goalscorer full of compliments. He seemed to demotivate lots of players. But we have JE now. Yaaay!!

I live in the north east. It’s in Teesside.
