Oh god, sounds like you’ve gone from frying pan to frying pan. What is it about these MATs and their flipping logos?

Have a look at Abe Books. There’s a set for £3.69, which looks like it has the classic Pauline Baines illustrations

Aren’t everyone’s existing resources from previous schools adaptable? There are only minor differences between exam board specs do you shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel.

It's Peter Jones as the book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy radio series, describing the demise of Arthur Dent's brother. @gidcoe.bsky.social Credit to my bemused son who is wondering why everyone is talking about Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Yes, expected to boil but survived! Alsowent in thinking I only knew one song but recognised half a dozen. So @bbc6music.bsky.social must have secretly exposed me to Anna Erhard without me realising.

Junior Cross Country Club where my warm up jog and run back to school is faster than the run. Building resilience in the boys and next year they'll find it easy at a faster pace. #longtermgoals

Thanks @gidcoe.bsky.social for Thru the flowers. Reminded me of the shock of The Primitives appearing on Wogan!

Run past at least once a week but have never stopped for a pint.

More evidence, if it was needed, that AI means that coursework must die from @clairebadger.bsky.social #cogscisci

Time to re-visit some of the best bits of the early 2000s from @nikika.bsky.social My guilty secret: I've always got my Year 10s to role play addition polymerisation!

Nice bit of confirmation bias when listening to @mbdscience.bsky.social but maybe I need to think really hard about whether those pre-requisites are actually luxuries #cogscisci

We really won't @gidcoe.bsky.social , we really won't. Next stop Marc starts at 7 and you are on at 9. The bad dream ends.

Planet Sunday were a 5 piece. We played all the Camden venues and were almost there. We had a dreadful gig at The Dublin Castle and I resigned when everyone else thought it was fine. 2 months later they were signed by Sony/CBS to record a single but broke up before reaching the studio.
