Im sorry but they will be like 24-25 and it would be really unfair to take away such huge opportunity from these actors who spent half of their life on this show.

literally obsessed with people who teach themselves things or invest in random classes. LEARNING IS HOT! take a french cooking class. beginners sewing, adult gymnastics. doing things out of the SPICE of curiosity is HOT!!!!!!

No one should be using the term: “under-age girls”. You don’t suddenly become old enough to be abused.

this is why intimacy coordinators are necessary

Asked my 5yo what she wanted for dinner and she said “not a burned quesadilla” because in the summer of 2023 i overcooked one side of her quesadilla.

We’ve been exploring the theme of women in AIC by using a series of focused high-challenge questions. It’s been a powerful way to help students develop deeper arguments about gender and representation across the play.✍🏽 #teamenglish #AIC #gcseenglish #engchat @Team_English1

NEW An Inspector Calls 23-lesson scheme for 2026 - the old one was from 2022 (!) and it was a bit outdated so I've re-done it and now it looks like all my others :) I've put it in my google drive & popped a link here - hope it helps someone! drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Got to meet @GurinderC at the IntoFilm festival, watch Christmas Karma and ask her about Malkit Singh, all because of a school trip! Teaching has its perks!

@GauravDubay3 I seem to not have the option to DM! 😫

There's still time to sign up to a free CPD session on Tuesday 11th November 2025 looking at pushing our higher attainers in English Literature. If you'd like to attend, please DM.

A few years ago, I had a terrifying experience while staying alone in a hotel. At 6am, I was jolted awake by a man trying to get into my room - throwing his weight against the door again and again. I couldn’t reach reception, so I called the police. The call handler stayed on the line, coached me through what to say to get him to leave. Then called hotel reception staff to send help (they were useless) - and rang back later to check I was okay. But hotel staff seemed irritated by the police involvement. When I checked out, they told me it was “just a drunk man" who said he'd got the wrong room. At 6am in the morning. A drunk man who may well have intended to attack or r*pe a woman. Later, a male colleague said he felt I’d overreacted by calling the police. At times, I've wondered if he was right. Today, a friend has told me she’s been diagnosed with PTSD - after a similar incident in a hotel. Only her man stood outside her hotel room m*sturb*ting. He’d seen her earlier that night and knew she was alone. She tried to call reception - but the number on the keycard was wrong. The website too. Like me, she felt trapped in her room - so she called the police. They were brilliant - arrived quickly and arrested him. But the hotel staff barely apologised. The council housing the man in the hotel (despite his criminal record) didn’t seem to care either. Turns out there was no CCTV in the corridors either. And here’s the thing that stays with me: I was made to feel like I’d overreacted. But what I feared - the very thing women are so often told we’re imagining - happened to someone else. Because of course, it does.
