@EadieM3adie @ISEERED07 If you work out who she is when she pops back up, do let me know. Sounds like blocking might be in order

@EadieM3adie @ISEERED07 I have noticed her behaviour before but no, I don’t remember interacting with her personally

@DrAnakwenze @upshine3 Nothing to do with uniqueness. But those names have absolutely been acquired by the middle class and are no longer seen as representative of upper. class. Names- just like language- change in their symbolism.

@scriptwren @upshine3 Popularity doesn't erase pedigree. A name like Arthur or Archibald carries a generational weight that a trendy modern name doesn't. They aren't just names; they're family history. The upper class isn't about being unique; it's about being established.

What’s a baby boy name that screams generational wealth and private school tuition?

@AccrueReturns @upshine3 Theo is a very popular middle class name now. Rupert for sure though!

@upshine3 Tristan, Theodore, Frederick, Hugo and Rupert in the UK

@BackCzech4Check @upshine3 At lot of these (not all - Quincy no. Ditto Kenwick) would fit the bill in the UK

@upshine3 Aloysious Bartholomew Casper Denham Ephraim Fenton Gideon Holden Ichabod Jarvis Kenwick Laertes Montgomery Nigel Orson Percival Quincy Rutger Solomon Thaddeus Ulysses Valentine Weston Xavier Yardley Zander

@DrAnakwenze @upshine3 None of these are that ‘upper class’ any more in UK

@upshine3 If you want the name to actually carry weight in those elite circles, the trick is the nickname. Truly wealthy families often use a classic name but a "playful" nickname. ​Archibald goes by Archie. ​Arthur goes by Artie. ​Nathaniel goes by Nate.

@_Traviata That sounds tough. X

I don’t think I’ve ever felt quite so alone and unsupported as I do at the moment. Where’s the cavalry when you most need it?

@MauroFinas @DiscussingFilm 👍🏻

@scriptwren @DiscussingFilm Okay, my mistake

The new ‘LORD OF THE FLIES’ series will release May 4 on Netflix. Created by Jack Thorne (‘Adolescence’).

@ISEERED07 @EadieM3adie Ugh. See she has gone for now

@EadieM3adie Well I’m glad she is away from you then 🙌🏼🙌🏼

@hselftax Oh yes that’s right! Thank you.

@scriptwren No it was RSC not NT. It’s available here (and maybe elsewhere) digitaltheatre.com/watch/vod/3779…

One more lesson to plan tonight this week and next week it’s all assessments and then hopefully watching productions of the Shakespeare plays we have studied. Oh and y10 coursework which makes me feel a bit stressed. But nearly done on term 4 of 6 in my PGCE year.

@Footinit @djmadnice It’s a lovely island

@djmadnice 2025 went to a Greek island I’d never heard of. It was paradise. Alonissos. It wasn’t cheap but spectacular. Eating/drinking was v reasonable & the island is completely unspoilt with incredible views. No hotels just small guest houses but amazing villas on Airbnb etc.

Recommendations for places (or even specific hotels/apartments) for easy, family-friendly beach holidays please! Greece, Sicily, Portugal, Tenerife, that kind of thing… drop below or hit the DMs. Thanks

@MauroFinas @DiscussingFilm You’re not correct, Piggy is not in this shot. The actor playing Piggy is great, actually.

@DiscussingFilm The main victim in the story is the kid at the front- “Piggy,” reimagined with a birthmark instead of being overweight. Must be him due to his his nerdy jacket. In Lord of the Flies, Golding explored human nature broadly; that message now been repurposed and dangerously so,

@Dickwith2dogs A sobering thought

FUN FACT : we're now further away from pippa Middleton's arse than that was from the death of our princess di 😢

@AndieDelicacy 💅🏻❤️ haha!

@scriptwren Of course. You put Kent on the MAP.

If nothing, this proves what I've been saying all along. Nothing good comes from Kent.

@hselftax Thank you! I used some ideas from the Much Ado pack from them

@scriptwren Hmm I’ll have a think about Much Ado. For Macbeth, the RSC has a teacher pack? rsc.org.uk/learn/schools-…

@hselftax I saw the Tom H one last year! I saw the 2014 one in the cinema. That may be on the national theatre player I think?

@scriptwren There is a 2014 Much Ado from the RSC with Michelle Terry - set in 1918 as a companion piece to their excellent Love’s Labour’s Lost, or a 2024 one from the Globe which is more traditional. The Tom Hiddleston one from a couple of years ago in the West End was glorious!

@hselftax Thank you! I am pretty much finished now with Shakespeare this year. Next year will be adding Macbeth to the list when I teach y11. What do you think is the best Much Ado to show y8? Have taught it using Branagh.

@scriptwren Well done! If you struggle to find any of the Shakespeare plays let me know as I may be able to find a recording - but I assume you have access to Drama Online? Best wishes.

@Beck_C @StagecoachSE I imagine it got caught in the ridiculous roadworks that started today nearly a month late on the A21. Gridlocked for miles (Hurst Green)

@StagecoachSE any chance of an update or explanation on this incident? 👆🏻

@StagecoachSE Hi, what happened the 7:41 1066 bus from Ticehurst to Bennett Memorial this morning? It eventually came at 8:29. Lots of school kids depend on this bus.

@mostlygeordie So disappointing!

@scriptwren An M&S sarnie used to be a treat, but these days they’re almost inedible - too salty and soggy bread.

Treated self to an M&S sandwich and I don’t like it. Feel disgruntled at self.
