@BubbCeo @AssocOfChairs @NewCollegeOx Worried about the lack of 21st century technology on your desk Sir Stephen. Couldnt find your quill either!

@robb_masters @CivilSocietyUK @AssocOfChairs You are right Robb, poor judgement on my part. Thanks for providing some of the back ground info, which I hadnt seen before. Now changed.

@SaxtonJoe @CivilSocietyUK @AssocOfChairs Also, "idiot" is an ableist term. autistichoya.com/p/ableist-word… You've been told this repeatedly, but ignored it until called out publicly. Worrying behaviour from someone in your position… 2/2

Association of Chairs should be ‘at least 10 times’ its size, says chair @SaxtonJoe @AssocOfChairs #sthash.hnxeB8Ol.dpuf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">civilsociety.co.uk/news/associati…

@robb_masters @CivilSocietyUK @AssocOfChairs Can I just check - is this is because in my linkedin profile I say that one of my personal pronouns (that I used about myself) is idiot?

@CivilSocietyUK @SaxtonJoe @AssocOfChairs As a former member, I wonder how many LGBTQ+ charities or disability charities are alienated by his misuse of the pronouns field on LinkedIn, and inclusion of an ableist term? I've certainly chosen not to renew my membership.

@TaniaMason @BrisUniPress @policypress @WarChildUK Ooops, slow to reply on twitter. nice idea. need to think through the practicalities of postage etc

Last year I wrote 10 blogs about strategy in charities, read over 120 strategies, showcased 12 examples of great ones, and set out the joys & pitfalls of doing strategy. This is now in a FREE report on charity strategy called 'Where are we going?': heyheyjoe.info/post/where-are…

Does anybody have any charity podcasts they recommend? We are compiling a list of top charity podcasts at Heyheyjoe so would love to hear of the ones people like.

@DFielding101 I think there are 25 multiple choice and the pass rate is 75%

@SaxtonJoe Do we need to get all 5 questions correct?

My daughter in law just taken UK test. Would you pass? - Who designed the Cenotaph in Whitehall? - What was the Beveridge Report in 1942 about? - When did men & women get the right to vote at 18? - When did the last of Welsh Rebellions end? - What was Habeas Corpus Act 1679?

Our house now decarbonised with the glorious trio of solar panels, storage batteries, and now an air sourced heat pump. #everlittlehelps

The pond we started in february is looking good. The house martins love swooping down to drink, and the pollinators are putting us on their food map

@RobJConsulting What I havent worked out is the new name for a tweet - are we meant to say 'did you see that X?' or 'I am going to X about that'. Its a very thoughtless rebrand

There might be a new logo but after more than 12 years here it’s still going to get called Twitter by me.

Was keen to complete the survey from @FriendsofLakes but had to given as it was too painful an experience. Compulsory questions on mind-numbing minutiaie of their work. Dear oh dear

@scifun9 Me too!! I have been assured it will be fine down to minus 20c.

@SaxtonJoe I’ll be very interested to hear how the air source heat pump goes. How well will it cope with a cold winter?

The final stage of our plan to decarbonise our house starts today. We have got solar panels and storage batteries, and now we are converting our space heating and water heating from oil boiler to air sourced heat pump. Cant wait!!

@scifun9 Its slow at the moment. Ducks very quick to arrive, but think it will take long for dragonflies, pollinators, etc. Though the house martins swooping down to get water was amazing.

@SaxtonJoe Awesome (and stunning). How is the wildlife doing?

A year ago there was a field and grass, and today there is a pond and poppies.
