The design of the #lufc bottle opener is clearly based on an old bloke singing Marching On Together.

Better late to the party than never. Light my Fire is still one of the best ever mixes of baroque, pop and jazz going.

No problem with parking apps/paying for parking - except our council adds an extra 10p admin fee for using it. IMO opinion if they have contracted a company to manage, they should take the parkco hit. Paying preferences 1. Contactless/card 2. Card (insert) 3. App 4. Cash (hate)

And with that, we will bid you goodnight!

Old newspaper clipping. Probably from 50s-60s. Head and shoulders of two young ladies, possibly in night attire. One whispers to other; "If Husbands Only Knew"

And the example shown above has as much life and enthusiasm as a bowl of cold custard. Kids will 'love' it and take the piss. 😅
Anyway what's wrong with a YouTube video?

If I was still teaching, there is no way on earth, I would give permission to a school, or participate to create an AI generated instance of me. Legal & ethical issues. My advice to current teachers would be - think hard about what you are actually creating/participating in here and who owns it.

#Guardian churnalism reaches another low. Too stupid to realise he will be unable to run? Or happy to open an Overton window a little bit more/ bsky.app/profile/theg...

FFS, Dear Independent - He was never in the running. Only in his own demented mind. You might as well have written Ivan the Terrible failed to win. He would have made a better fist of it. #CrapJournalism

Red Necked Phalarope all we've had round here.

About the same learning/educational value as these, at least they had entertainment value.

Cartoon of a well dressed couple, wearing hats, at a 19th Century country fair looking at an exhibit of living 'head' without a body. In the background a sign says "this way to the talking horse' – Artist Philipp William May.

Way to go! Look forward to the results...

if nothing else it's very funny to say you want to get rid of english degrees two days after you give everyone chocolate with "britian" written on it

Unfortunately, there are some folk like this, but take comfort in the fact the great majority are not. Hope your little girl gets to enjoy more art. Love seeing kids in galleries etc.
