Keith (Not really)

Hi I just want to mark today. It’s 5yrs since I lost Myra to cancer. She was a wonderful remarkable partner & soul mate. I miss her all the time & I celebrate the life we had together. Life is such a beautiful gift it’s why I campaign so hard for those from whom it is stolen.

This annoys all the right people.

@LissaKEvans @j4ppleby I'm always late for a lesson, looking for the room allocation, and always as a supply teacher!

@Keithkellart @j4ppleby I bet!

I still have nightmares based around being humiliated or severely underprepared for stuff at school. When does this stop? I'm 42.

@LissaKEvans @j4ppleby It's even worse when you've been a teacher!

@j4ppleby Hi Jack, I’m 65, and two nights ago I realised, yet again, that I had done no revision whatsoever for the imminent physics A Level I never even took in the first place.

@BluEnterpris @jk_rowling She did do the casting.

@jk_rowling Why did you not do this instead , just why ?!!

If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹

@misanthropeyrk @AjaTheEmpress She's not trying to please anyone, @AjaTheEmpress is British, where are they going to deport her to?

@AjaTheEmpress You understand that the people you’re trying to please would deport you in a heartbeat?

I’ve looked at the footage from yesterday’s "March Against the Far Right". Palestinian flags, IRGC flags, Cuban flags, Progress flags... Not a single Union Jack. Not surprising, but still…

@ChantAngle64 @AjaTheEmpress Nope. Abandoning the flag because someone racist also carry it is a surrender to bigotry.

@AjaTheEmpress That’ll be because the march was anti division. Since the far right have co-opted our national flag as a symbol of division it wouldn’t work in this context. Does that help at all?

@kerriegosneyTV Same in Sheffield

Spectacular Mammatus clouds above my head this morning 😍😍😍😍

@SuzanneWalsh72 @dietbea827 She did exactly that.

@dietbea827 You're claiming you paid for it, so take it back to the shop you BOUGHT it from with the receipt & ask them to remove it for you. Otherwise, stop stealing other people's property.

I KNOW SOME OF YALL GOTTA BE BORROWING CLOTHES PLSSS HOW DO I GET THIS OFF I BOUGHT THESE BUT THEY DIDNT TAKE THE THINGY OFFF

@DreyfusJames I reckon some Yorkshire folk should get copies of HP and set up a stall outside their shop and give them away for free.

“Spit on Terfs” “JK Rowling is a c—t” Just 2 examples. No shame. At all. “JKR is a c—t”. They must truly believe this shows them in a positive light, which is gobsmacking. Just imagine what they DIDN’T show… And these particular “dolls” need “protecting”, do they…?

@rickygervais How are you coping knowing you won't be able to to box against women in the Olympics?

@Vroniholzmann @Lachlan_Edi The two are not the same.

@Lachlan_Edi So you are gay but want to exclude trans people from the LGBT+ group? Thats just sad.

New, gay, local tennis hitting partner (26) sent me a text after our first session: "Googled you and I see you are a transphobe. So am I! It's all so ridiculous, isn't it?" Here in the real world, that's more or less the universal reaction among gay men I meet. Any generation.

For eleven years, a 68-year-old retired forklift truck driver from Mirfield, England began each day by listening to his late wife's voice on their home answering machine message. She had passed away from cancer in 2003. He never changed phone companies. Every time a new provider offered him a better deal, he asked the same question: if I switch, will her voice be kept? The answer was always no. So he stayed. Then in December 2014, Virgin Media, his telephone provider, deleted the message during routine technical work. Stan Beaton described the moment he found out as one of the worst of his life. "I just could not tell people how it affected me," he told BBC Radio Leeds. "It really did devastate me." He contacted Virgin Media and told them what had happened. The executive director of engineering later described the task of finding it as searching for a needle in a haystack. The chances of recovery, he said, were slim. A team of engineers spent three days searching through archived servers anyway. They found it. Virgin Media sent Stan a CD with the recording. He broke down in tears the moment he heard her voice again. Is there a voice you would do anything to hear one more time?
