"A grand occasion with acting royalty" Millwall and Charlton take to the pitch in an anticipated London derby, with Gary Oldman and Daniel Day Lewis watching on from the stands 🌟

@SoVeryBritish Quick sticks..

Today as I was sitting in my car at a crossing, watching a pedestrian stop in the middle of said crossing to check something in their shopping bag, I was thinking about all the ways British people have to say “hurry up!” Let me know if I’ve missed any… In your own time Anytime today While we’re young Come on, I haven’t got all day Take your time Get a bloody move on Sometime this century Let’s have some urgency, shall we? Chop chop Get your skates on Don’t mind me, it’s not like I’m busy or anything

I can’t believe that tomorrow is the third anniversary of Times Tables Ninja (Key Stage 2) being published! To celebrate, I’m giving away a copy of the book. To enter, please follow me and like and retweet this tweet. UK only. Entries close on Sunday 13th July at midday.

@DeputyGrocott Yes! Still feels rubbish - not had the results yet. At least we get a second opportunity if needed. Good luck!

Anyone out there who has undertaken a final assessment for an NPQ, does your brain instantly tell you you’ve done it all wrong and it’s rubbish the minute you press submit? Or is it just mine?

Vote Them Out

Gone but not forgotten ❤️ Teddy had been coming to polling stations with me for years. Here he was at his last general election in 2019. Today, he’ll be at the polling station the other side of the rainbow bridge 🌈 #dogsatpollingstations #generalection2024

@Hey_Muldoon You appeared on my timeline! I love theme park reviews. You did well getting to them all on public transport - it’s not easy and straightforward.

I’ve gained over 300 followers since I landed in the UK! Thank you to all of you guys who followed, retweeted, or replied with advice! I’m not sure when, but I know my next trip will be Middle East in Emirates or Qiddiya. Maybe I’ll get 300 more then too!

@GMB The dog was the calmest guest there.

In just the past week, three separate incidents have left two boys aged 5 and 15 injured and a woman dead, after attacks by XL bully dogs. That's despite the tough new restrictions on owning the breed. So will registration never be enough, and should all of the dogs simply be put down?

@THORPEPARK To clarify, cables around the ride area not hanging off the actual ride itself!

@THORPEPARK As much as I loved Hyperia and I was lucky to ride it on opening day, the didn’t look ready: cables hanging , some areas not landscaped. It didn’t look quite polished for a launch. But safety always comes first so I’m happy to wait a bit longer to ride her again 🤞🏻

Important Hyperia Update

@THORPEPARK Sorry to hear that. It’s definitely worth the wait: we had an excellent time yesterday. Absolutely brilliant ride. Fingers crossed it takes flight again soon 🤞🏻

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to open Hyperia on Saturday the 25th of May. The rest of the resort remains open. Anyone with pre-booked tickets for today will be eligible for a free return visit. Please check our website for further details. We apologise for the disappointment this will cause and we are working hard to reopen Hyperia as soon as possible and will keep people updated via our website and social media.

@dog_rates 101% they got number 1 right. Should be in the Top 10 of all movies!

@AidanSevers Oh, that’s a sad face! Gorgeous dog ❤️

Jet says go and have a vote because he can't. #dogsatpollingstations

Teddy used to love coming to the polling station with me for each vote. This was sadly his last time in 2019 for the GE as he passed away in 2022. He was with me in spirit today ❤️ #dogsatpollingstations

@dog_rates @ABC @TSA Proof that Messi really is the GOAT. Good boy Messi ❤️

This is Messi. He's been an explosives detection K9 for 6 years. For his final shift before retirement his coworkers threw him a surprise party. 14/10 congratulations Messi

My highlight of the week. The dogs are always good ❤️

@ruskin147 Blessed to have Teddy in our lives for 16 years. He was one of the good boys too. Miss him everyday.

oh boy, this has me in bits remembering Cabbage....

@ruskin147 This is amazing ❤️ Well done Sophie!

At 0730 this morning the prof and I put #sophiefromromania in the car and took her to a local park for her first ever walk. More details tomorrow

@DeputyGrocott @SparxMaths Urgh. Sparx Maths. When my daughter can’t get any further she asks me for help. We watch the video and work it out together but it can take ages as the videos don’t always follow the same process. I spent a good hour on scale factors the other week 🤯 got there in the end!

Hi @SparxMaths are you aware that if a question can’t be completed then the homework states ‘incomplete’ until a correct answer is given. Doesn’t seem right to me.
