Just realised it is World Whisky Day. Would be rude not to celebrate!!

I love this film from England, 1901. We’re close enough that it’s not just a crowd of people. You can see all the individual personalities of the children showing off, jostling their friends and pulling faces to the camera. It’s worth watching twice.

@digitalmaverick I think the BBC said at the beginning you can watch without commentary on the red button.

I wish the coverage of the journey of the Queen's coffin to Edinburgh was being shown without ANY voiceover.

@smithsmm @greeborunner @PaulWat5 @m_chiles I worked in a primary school where the parents paid a small amount (think a couple of £'s) each year towards pens, pencils etc.

@greeborunner @PaulWat5 @m_chiles We’ve always supplied pens and pencils. I’ve worked twenty seven years and never been in a primary school that didn’t supply pens/pencils/etc

Context is key here…

@bphillipsonMP Pay and conditions for supply teachers are abysmal. Many are paid below the minimum pay rate on national scales, not able to pay into Teachers Pension Scheme whilst agencies make huge profits. Would I,retired teacher, formerly paid at UPS3 , want to risk my health? Not one bit.

@MartinSLewis Congratulations. Well deserved and thank you for all your wise advice.

Wow. I've been upgraded! Shocked & thrilled to get a CBE Huge THANKS to all who nominated me, it was unnecessary, but lovely – and to all who follow & support my work. I hope it helps Best bit (Covid permitting) is this time my little one’s old enough to be with when I get it!

@PaulbernalUK Please don't give them ideas!

@poetwithpace But cloudy here in Bournemouth today, but it's normally true!

The train conductor announced that I am in the train to “Sunny” Bournemouth. Should I buy sun cream?

Bruce Forsyth and Norman Wisdom at the London Palladium (3rd December 1961). Due to an Equity strike, they (as members of the Variety Artistes' Federation who weren't on strike) were the only turns on that week's edition of Sunday Night at the London Palladium ....

Why did 265 Conservative MPs vote down an amendment to stop private water companies from dumping raw sewage into the UK’s rivers and coastlines? I’m genuinely baffled 🤷‍♂️

Emma Raducanu WOW! Apparently even Gavin Williams is a big tennis fan! He says he's always loved the game ever since he saw Marcus Rashford score a century at Twickenham in straight sets on the PGA tour.

@MrGPrimary I was having lunch with a journalist as we worked in the same building and she got the call - we didn't even wait for our food..... Watched the second plane on the screens and realised it was no accident.

It’s the anniversary of 9/11 coming up. Where were you when the planes hit? I was up a mountain in Oman as part of a massive UK/Omani military exercise.

@_MissieBee I turn off (snooze) all teaching fb groups over the summer hols so I don't see the pics until I go back to work!

I’ve seen some gorgeous book corners, incredibly tidy classrooms, creative displays & lovely ideas for the first days back. I have nothing of the sort yet. Starting my 8th year still feeling incredibly anxious & inadequate. So for anyone else feeling the same - you’re not alone!

Trying to set up a new twitter account, got email verification and it should also send a verification code by text, but nothing received. Requested resend, still nothing and now it says I've reached my limit and need to try again in 24 hours! It's there a problem #twitterhelp

I usually don't unsubscribe to company emails if I've made a purchase from that company. But why would they think sending two promotional emails per day, clogging up my inbox is what I want? It will prompt me to unsubscribe.....

@tourscotland Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery.

In my cottage in #Scone, #Perthshire, #Scotland My daughter who lives in #Salt #Lake #City, #UTAH, #USA could not video visit with me tonight for an hour, as she had a seven hour operation yesterday at Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital in #Portland, #Oregon. She is now recovering

@oldandrewuk I use one called pedometer step counter, no need for any personal data. It's free and has two white footprints on a re/background. Hope that helps.

Oh apparently it needs my profile picture. Why? Is there no app that will just time how long I walk for?

What is a good app for an android phone to monitor how much walking I do? I was using Samsung Health but it now wants to do all sorts of new things that I have no interest in and require some security verification that apparently doesn't work.

@hannahprevett Cats Protection posts regularly soar on my local Fb page. Is your cat microchipped? Hope you get good news soon

Our cat is missing! She’s a house cat and never goes outside, except for a saunter around the garden, so we are exceptionally worried. Any tips and tricks for locating missing moggies? 😩😿

👏 If you require people to have photo ID to vote but don't provide free photo ID, you are requiring people to pay to vote 👏

@katybeale @matlock Signed. Thanks for sharing

The Government wants to impose a catastrophic 50% funding cut to arts subjects at higher education (HE) level in England. The public consultation ends soon. Tell the Education Secretary: arts education matters. campaignforthearts.org/petitions/stop…
