Still amazes me that so many people don't know that Ireland has its own language, aside from English. This is probably one of the single greatest clips of our beautiful native tongue being used.
@mandybu23626477@EtienneTheWolf Problem is that now I have zero desire to put any money in the pockets of the people behind the show, much as I love it. The harm has been done.
Lorraine Kelly is feeling “lost and flat” after brutal ITV cost-cutting has left her struggling with life without her long-term team.
Her show has been slashed to just 30-minute episodes and will only air for 30 weeks a year instead of 52.
Several close colleagues, including stand-in presenters Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard, have been axed.
The 66-year-old is facing the longest time off TV in her entire 40-year career.
A source said her old team was like a “second family” and she’s now “pining” for them.
@anon_opin Or the adults punching their steering wheels in frustration at the traffic (that they somehow believe they are not part of) could just walk to work? Or get a bus?
The fact that roads are massively quieter during half terms and school holidays shows the number of parents driving their kids to school, most who live close to the school. No wonder we have a generation of unhealthy kids. Let them walk; ban parents dropping them off
Primary school teacher here. I'm so over world fucking book day. Most kids barely own a book these days so why waste a day's learning to prance about in nasty, polyester princess or boy wizard costumes? Frozen is not a book and no 7 year old has read Harry Potter. Utter nonsense.
@deborah_hilliam@fesshole I teach a class of 29 7/8yr olds and just one is reading a Harry Potter book at the moment. I said to him that he might catch one of the films on tv over the Easter hols. He seemed genuinely surprised & questioned, ‘There are Harry Potter films?’ Children have moved on!
@fesshole Bloody hell, you're a crap teacher then. I work in a primary school, not a teacher, and the children are mad for Harry Potter and are definitely reading it. That's not to say I'm not over book day as well but don't talk nonsense.
@wullyanderson@ODEONCinemas They're so stupid. If they were £1 a bottle everyone would buy them. Same with the sweets and the popcorn. I'd rather not have the hassle of bringing stuff in and the kids always want the cinema snacks, so make them cheaper and sell loads more.
@carolynjack@AlexParkerwltd@JebraFaushay You clearly haven't set foot in a primary school in a long time. Boys do all those things too. Nothing to do with sexism, they just like playing games. And the girls run and climb and do all sorts as well.
@AlexParkerwltd@JebraFaushay I’d say the missing context is that by the age of , say, 8, girls have been playing coordination games in group (skipping games, games involving elaborate hand clapping sequences) for 2 or 3 years. Girls learn how to coordinate movement.
@amyalby2904 To be fair, I'm 54 and we had rows and rows of eggs all round the living room when I was a kid. Not well off at all, decent sized extended family I guess but shedloads of chocolate. My kids get less than I did.
It’s actually mental how much parents are trying to outdo eachother all over my social media feed this morning
Gifts spread all over the sofa like Christmas morning
When I was a kid I got an Easter egg and outfit which is exactly what my son woke up to
@xevekiah It's called working full time with two SEN children one of whom refuses to go to school and simultaneously caring for an elderly mother with dementia who refuses all outside carers.
