I agree one week is tight, I’m keener on 1 month, recently I did 6 months on one sale.

TH’s photography: I said aww does mummy look beautiful today? He said… no you look squishy. THANKS PAL.

The disabled man who dropped the child in the crocodile pit did not do this by accident. He didn’t throw a fit and knock the boy in. He chose a moment when four adults were distracted - - his carers and the child’s parents - lifted a ~13 kg child over a 4 foot wall, and dropped him 15 feet into a pit full of crocodiles. Furthermore, his carers were overheard before the incident asking him if he wanted to go see the crocodiles now. He was able to understand this, and to say yes. This man is not a vegetable, and I will eat my badge if this was his first violent episode — or why send him with two carers in the first place? In my opinion, he should have been interviewed, and should absolutely be prosecuted for attempted murder. Disability does not preclude intent; unless it can be proven that he didn’t know what he was doing, he should be convicted and sentenced to spend the remainder of his life in a secure psychiatric facility. The conviction will ensure that no soft-hearted future carers will be able to give him another chance to get at children.

I need to settle a debate: Milk or butter in mashed potatoes? 🍠

Not a single child in my class at school in the 80s had autism, ADHD, neurodivergence, trans or social anxiety issues. We beat it out of them. Then we watched the A-Team on Saturday's.

Absurd to demand a German sings our national anthem. The England players, yes… Tuchel - absolutely not.

I was just in Scotland last week and if there is one thing I learned there, it’s that they can drink. Like I knew they could drink, but I didn’t realize how much they could drink.

And here’s me thinking my time at Royal Military Academy Sandhurts RMAS would be posh! Got to make my own bed! 😳

Good luck telling your autistic kid they can't watch youtube after 8pm

RIP to any young people who had hopes of working in any field that requires social media skills Or anyone who wants to revise for their A Levels after 6pm YouTube has got more children in Britain through exams than the DfE

Please can someone explain why 16-17 year olds could be banned from social media when these same teenagers are allowed to vote? Surely if they’re not mature enough for social media then they’re not mature enough to vote. It doesn’t make sense to me that’s why I’m asking.

Social media ban is a Great idea but If you’re going to ban the No 1 pastime for our kids, you’d do well to think what resources you need to put in place to replace it. Youth clubs, dances, sport, crafts, music. It feels ridiculously old fashioned but we’ll need them
