Hey @Visiondirect_UK! What no Haribo with my latest order? #Disappointed 😉

@Stacey39UK @MissRNoor @FgcsInfo @MrClark_PE Thanks so much for a fabulous leadership morning today. Inspiring and impressive. Really appreciate your generosity in sharing your time, resources and expertise and the warmest of welcomes.

@epraiseUK @msetchell Thanks so much for all your help this morning, hopefully everything moving in the right direction now. I appreciate your time on this. Great response.

@Jacquitilt @msetchell Hi Jacqui, I’m so sorry to read this. I’ll be in touch this morning.

@msetchell Hi Matt ... don't suppose you have any tips on getting some customer service from @epraiseUK these days? Over a week of no link to MIS and despite normal help channels, no fix. Missing the brilliant old days of the platform.

Got information

@gemmajourno And exactly what the internet was made for. I see your cat videos and raise you one broken dog

@MirrorGemma Took me a while!! 🙄

@oldandrewuk P.H. Newby - first winner of the Booker Prize, @david_mitchell, P. G. Wodehouse (briefly during the war) and @Nedflex

Who is the most famous person who was a pupil at your school?

@oldandrewuk Sir Ian McKellen - he was appearing at a local theatre and came to do an assembly about his work with Stonewall. He performed monologues from some famous roles. Staff were in pieces and the kids talked about “that day when Gandalf did assembly.” Brilliant day @IanMcKellen

Who's the best outside speaker you have heard at your school? (Can be a previous school, or the school you went to as a child)

@MirrorGemma @ChrisRBurrows *cough … also going for a lie down. Have a great birthday 🎂 xx

@MXOFO Et voilà!

@caitlinmoran Not sure we needed the “Eternité” caption.

I'm not saying this has been long, but I knocked back a whole bottle of wine in excitement during the first hour and I'm now completely sober again.

Not sure we needed the Eternité caption. We’re living it, France. Faster people (higher, stronger). #Olympic2024 #OlympicGames

@AidanSevers @SeversBec Yep 25th. 15 years. It was the first sunny Saturday for weeks!

So many teachers have a wedding anniversary around this time of year because of what is known as 'teachers' Saturday'. It's ours today! 16 years! Who else has an anniversary this week? Love you @SeversBec!

@SwailesRuth I’d been googling “last country alphabetically” for an hour … and then Australia popped up. Good grief. Faster people, Faster (higher, stronger).

This was the point where I wondered if I was just having a very vivid cheese dream.

Great to hear @MrAndrewCotter using his French degree to translate during the Olympic Opening Ceremony. #mfltwitterati

@Clive_Hill @oldandrewuk Haha. I remember making the phone call … only mentioned I was a French teacher and he launched straight in!!

@Jacquitilt @oldandrewuk Jacqui, you didn't teach me, but this was very much my father's attitude too. He was an HGV driver that drove on the continent for some time. Hates the French because of this. I'm positive he used this excuse when I wasn't doing well in French.

What's the silliest excuse for bad behaviour you have heard? (It doesn't have to be from the pupil whose behaviour it was.)

Brilliant afternoon. And more heats to come.
