Deputy and the Dog

Don’t believe scaremongering from the @DailyMail Just cleared passport control (departures) at #MaltaAirport in less than 5 mins. Quick & efficient.

1986 colliery village school’s career advice: secretary or nursery nurse. Not Nissan Sunderland, that was for the boys.

@LeahFHardy @tombennett71 DHT mainstream, ex PRU lead here: since coming back to mainstream, the lack of options to place these children in appropriate settings is ridiculous. 28+ chn disrupted per class, staff assaulted & damage to property. Costs us for unfunded 1:1 support & no process for moving on.

@tombennett71 A friend is the area says the problem is also out of control in primary schools.

It is horrific how education leaders allow this to persist. School teachers in Scotland routinely report to me how bad behaviour is, because they have no permitted strategies to handle disruption beyond conversational, therapeutic, or restorative approaches. That’s a political and leadership failing. We know how to manage behaviour, and failing to allow teachers to do so is scandalous. There should be serious consequences for those who permit this situation to endure. But Scottish education apparently doesn’t believe in consequences at any level.

@sirsteveedge watching the Take That docu on Netflix. Star Stories turned out to be 100% accurate!

@BarkJack_ @HRHCatherine I work with children with autism/adhd. Could the girl be neurodiverse? Same clothes, inside out top, looks to be wearing a diaper, lack of shoes. I always wonder if MM has autism and masks/mimics too.

@HRHCatherine I just wanna know why they took them out back of a gas station to scrounge around for it’s just so weird

Sickth, instead of sixth. Normalcy…it’s normality! Arks/axe instead of ask. Using ‘f’ instead of ‘th’.

@DrHelenFry Loved it. Thank you. Following.

Have you discovered something new from this thread about the Secret Ladies? If so, I’d love for you to consider following my account @DrHelenFry for more fascinating stories like this—let’s dive into history together! (end).

Known as the 'Secret Ladies,' their WWII work in Room 29 of the Admiralty was so secretive that even staff communicated via a hatch in the wall. They were never photographed. Here’s what we do know about them: (🧵)

If your culture doesn’t comprehend that rape is wrong you do not belong in the uk. We are a country that values women&girls. We’ve fought hard for those rights. We believe in striving for equality & giving respect to females. Throwing safeguards under the cultural bus is not ok

@RachelOrr My son has ginger hair. When he was 5 an old lady said to him ‘look at your lovely red hair.’ He replied ‘my jumper is red, my hair is ginger.’ 🧡

If you have red hair do you mind being called ginger? I colour my hair bright red and love it. At the start of my second headship a parent said to me her daughter was delighted because she would no longer get picked on and being called ginger because of my hair colour.

@EE Just tried that. Different error message for all CTNs on account: Sorry, we can't show this device's data right now. Please try again later. We will have it fixed soon

@ljswmc Have you tried to do this by logging into your account online at ee.co.uk to see if the issue is the same there? I'm curious to see if it's an issue with the app or your account.

@EE Managed without issue before now. The app says “Sorry, we're unable to show all the information you want right now. Try closing the app and coming back a bit later.” Been like that since this morning.

@ljswmc Hello. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with data gifting. Have you managed to gift data from this number previously, or is this your first time attempting it?

@easyJet Combined? Your website says “get an *extra* 15kg cabin bag and speedy boarding for £57.98.” When I choose this option it tells me I have a “large overhead cabin bag (10kg) with speedy boarding.” Do you see my confusion?

@ljswmc Please note that the maximum weight of a small and a large cabin bag is 15 kg. For more information, please visit our website on 🌐 spr.ly/6010myITo. I hope this information will be helpful. -- Thanks, Desiree ✈️

@easyJet I haven’t booked as the information about luggage is misleading.

@ljswmc Hi there, can you please confirm the booking reference, email address and the bookers full name. Thanks, Lulama. 🌹

@ctcantwell My great grandmother had an anonymous stillborn baby buried with her. We always said she would have loved that as she absolutely loved children. I wish that I could have told the mother that her baby was treated kindly and remembered along with Little Nana 🦋

It took 25 years for a letter that was intended for my mother to get into her hands that revealed the place her baby was buried in 1960. In 2019 a letter said my brother was buried in #CarrsHill Cemetery. My mother went yesterday. She placed flowers on the wall & a painted 1/4
