@matt19850 @anon_opin Having just got home from a gig by The Lottery Winners I’d suggest giving them a listen, fantastic home grown talent, super song writing with great messages in the lyrics!

@anon_opin Maybe if the UK put out good music instead of Ed Sheeran and other musical AIDS, maybe if the BBC made something other than boring procedural detective shows, maybe if we made decent films with a decent budget......we'd bother with it all.

You can't blame anyone else for the "loss of British culture" when you don't listen to British music created this millennium, don't go to gigs, don't watch British films, don't support arts funding, don't order eels when you have a takeaway and insist you don't watch the BBC.

@fasc1nate This issue was used as a storyline in the last series of Call the Midwife, the heartbreak of a couple who had always wanted children faced with this was beautifully portrayed.

Doctors found a calcified fetus of 30 years old in the uterus of a woman aged 73 years old. These 3D CT scans belong to an Algerian women with a fetus that was inside her for over 30 years. The creepiest photos ever taken: bit.ly/3MhKiB3

Repost this if you work in education.

@bannon1975 @PieCorbett The youngest sat with me at Christmas for half an hour as we worked our way through a pile of books - that’s pretty good attention for 16 months old! Now at 20 months he loves The Gruffalo, Monkey Puzzle among many others…

@StephHawkins27 @PieCorbett Great to get that love for books from such an early age.

If you're a grandparent who buys books for your grandchildren, you are quietly doing one of the most important things in their lives. A book from a grandparent feels different to a book from school. It feels chosen. Personal. Not a duty. That changes everything.

@AdamRichman thank you for the suggestion re. Sandwich Sandwich in London, we had the best beef sandwich ever!

@trevsharp @LloydLegalist @TomABacon T? Yes please, splash of milk no sugar, thank you!

@LloydLegalist @TomABacon I’ll have you know that it starts with I in fact, and ends with T

Nothing in the the English language starts with an N and ends with a G.

@buitengebieden @lusgrandprix thought you would need to see this 🥹

@sadtrumpetq @theatreandtonic I have on one occasion booked specifically to see the understudy as I knew from social media that he was covering for a week while the lead had a week off.

What was the fastest way you lost weight?

@simonfarnaby absolutely loved seeing The Magic Faraway Tree today, thank you for bringing the story so gently up to date while still being true to the original, many happy childhood hours spent reading the books - lovely to revisit the characters as a grown up!

@Her_Nonymous_D Sibling love is beautiful, as I type this my son is far from home performing on stage and in the audience is his big sister (she lives near the venue he’s at), weary after a day looking after her children, but there to watch and support him, this mother’s heart is full ♥️

to pressure them. Then, this evening, both her 16 year old and 13 year old brothers surprised her in the sweetest way, they agreed to sleep over. Her face lit up with pure joy. She was so happy she almost cried. Right away, she began preparing the room with so much care: making the bunk bed extra comfortable, giving her favorite stuffed animal to one of her brothers to cuddle, and spreading her most loved blankets so they would feel cozy and welcome. Now all three are fast asleep in the same room, her two big brothers sharing the lower bunk while she rests above, filled with excitement for the Easter Bunny’s arrival. These beautiful moments of sibling kindness and childhood magic are precious, and I’m soaking them in while I still can.

Today, my heart feels so full as I watch my three children sleeping peacefully together. My 9 year old had been wishing all day for her big siblings to join her in a special Easter Eve sleepover so they could wait for the Easter Bunny as a team. She knew it was a big ask, especially since both teens value their own space, but she hoped anyway. We talked with her about asking kindly and being ready to accept whatever answer she received. She waited patiently throughout the day, trying hard not…

@WhatsOnStage Me and the Sky from Come From Away, the line ‘the one thing I love more than anything was used as the bomb’ goosebumps (& tears) every time, so powerful!

Which musical theatre number always gives you goosebumps?

@bagshaw2112 I spent the first half of the year growing in my Mum’s tummy & the last 6 months getting used to the outside world! #JuneBaby

NEW DAILY QUIZ … Can you answer this … #dailyquiz #thursday

@ICT_MrP Could not believe I had to use the phrase “xxxx please do not lick the bottom of your shoe” 🤢

What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve ever witnessed?

@londonteacher_ You are very much correct, Christmas, Easter & Summer = holidays, all other time off is a half term, the break in the middle of a term dividing it in half…

lol I tweeted this this morning then went away and thought nothing of it. Can’t believe the amount of likes I’ve come back to, and the amount of people telling me I’m wrong 🙃

@ICT_MrP Least.. Spit Snot Urine Vomit Poo… worst

Ranking the most disgusting 🤢 things teachers have to deal with. Agree with the list?

@ICT_MrP One dress up day, child with upset tummy, it soaked through pants, trousers, superhero outfit and covered their chair! The bag of soiled clothes (double bagged) were put outside for when he was collected, the smell was 🤢 could still smell it the next day 🤢 despite open doors
