@Sciencepostcard Noooooooo, the lean is the best part of riding a bike 😭😭😭

@NotFarLeftAtAll Syria has natural resources in quantities we do not. Shoring up their new Government is an act of diplomacy that paves the way for British companies to access those resources. This isn’t new, this is an ages old concept of trade.

@basilthegreat The Arrows don’t always pop coloured smoke. The main reasons not to add colorant are environmental (near wildlife areas or waterways), local regs or in poor visibility conditions. I’d assume that with Glastonbury being in the country and not an urban area would be why.

This addiction to flat roofs beats me.
Why would you replace a slanted roof, which you can leave alone for 50+ years without having to worry about leaks, with a flat one which is isolated with oil-based insulation, has to be inspected every year and needs replacement after 25?
Why would you not have building codes that let you put a roof of your choosing above the eaves?

@DisrespectedThe This video is edited to evoke anger. If you do a quick search for the original on YT you’ll find both men have disabilities and that the gent was laughing at the first’s over enthusiastic approach to the match and not his disability.

@Lewis_Brackpool Foreign investment and management of UK nuclear power plants is nothing new. The French and Chinese have long been involved; take a closer look at Hinkley Point and Sizewell plants.

@Lukewearechange Clearly, it’s a portal to the Realm of Bellania 😏

@JHMoorebooks The feminisation of publishing is massively impacting me from accessing my bookshelves. Thou cruel and heartless world.

@happypositive0 @NoContextBrits That's not right. When I logged onto the desktop and mobile version today and yesterday the lead articles were on Trump. More so when you click on US & Canada.

@NoContextBrits The BBC site today. Determined to talk about anything except Trump.
They covered the Stockport trial, good. The rest though.... 🙃

Almost criminal to see this. With qualified, experienced and passionate teachers being forced out it’s our kids that suffer the consequences 😓

Highly qualified UP3 staff like myself were bullied out by Graham Horn to make room for the following. My local school is failing Fenland children so badly 😢 @fenlandcit @johnelworthy @cambstimes #teachers @bphillipsonMP @BBCPanorama @educationgovuk @bbceducation

@Chrissietutoruk @fenlandcit @johnelworthy @cambstimes @bphillipsonMP @BBCPanorama @educationgovuk @bbceducation I’ve seen a lot of similar occurrences in many schools during my years on tour as an educational speaker. Heartbreaking to see. With the average working life span of teachers being just 2 years before burn out it’s the children that lose out on passionate & well applied education

Home library, man-cave of awesomeness, dance studio or calisthenics gym? The design confusion is adding up 😂🙈 #PimpMyLibrary

We used to believe in needing an entire village to raise a child. Now we just give them a tablet & hope for the best. Which is why we have modern tragedies like this.

This is how I heartlessly ripped out a 1930s period Art Deco staircase and replaced it with a brutalist helical staircase. #Brutality #Renovation

I spent 10 years as an author touring schools as a Champion of Literacy during which I noted the low morale of teachers. Their average working lifespan before quitting was 2 years. W/out respect for teachers the future of our children is bleak. #EducationMatters

One in three teachers and leaders are considering leaving the profession in the next year, with workload and wellbeing concerns the main driving factors, according to an @educationgovuk survey tes.com/magazine/news/…

My father died slowly & horrifically from Parkinson's. It robbed him of his dignity & it was brutal to see such a strong man be reduced to a husk. I know today's decision weighs heavily for some but I think my father would have valued having the choice of #AssistedDying

This social media ban is overdue, we’ve already ruined two generations by giving them phones. Kids today have greater anxiety, obesity & low esteem than ever before. What is their future? Time to do better.

With the temperature dropping I’m starting to get wicked endorphin rushes from the cold water swims (and some outrageous shrinkage toooo 🙈😂) #NaturalSwimming #PondLife

@ianarchiebeck I think you need to be knocking on our door for coffee and catch up next time you do a recce in the neighbourhood!
