janel moloney going from two lines in the pilot to another scene to the next episode and the 20 after that to main character status for the next 6 seasons like wow

2019 General Election analysis: 1) Labour can’t overturn that defeat in one term 2) Labour can’t win without Scotland, and they won’t win Scotland 3) If they don’t win Scotland, they would have to have a swing so large that Jacob Rees Mogg would lose his seat They did all 3.

I got tired of hearing that YC fired Sam, so here's what actually happened:

OTOH my son's response was "Cool- will they give me a gun?" - which is a little worrying.

My 14 year old daughter is sitting next to me and saw the headlines about national service. Her response including several words I did not know she knew.

Hence, I'm slightly disappointed he hasn't fought to the end. I had him down as a "rage, rage against the dying light" guy. Turns out he's more: "all the men and women are merely players". Seems Gove did make me interested in classic literature after all 😉

You were always good enough. You just weren’t their person.

@JustRowena @miss_mcinerney Merry Christmas Rowena, missed you this year in my X-odus. Hope all is well xox

Anyone who doesn’t know me to @miss_mcinerney… “So how did you meet?” “Er, Twitter.” Twitter. +6 years. 😍 #smarterparties

Why did he do these things? I’ve never forgot his response. It was the best possible answer.

If you never had the joy of meeting Tim, this profile from 2014 lays out his effervescence and positivity. schoolsweek.co.uk/tim-brighouse/ One part particularly stands out at this moment.
