Sigh. 😔

Ladies & Gentlemen

Finally managed to photograph the woodpecker on my bird feeder!

Happy days.

Maybe I am too. How do I know?

So, I have 1000 'followers'. I heard a stat today that 60% of posts, and a similar percentage of profiles are just bots.
Is that true? Are you a bot?
If you are real, why not click the like to show me you are real... Or add a comment about what you had for tea.
Chinese for me!

Been out the classroom for 3 years now, but I took my class(es) every week, without fail. Often in staggered groups so it wasn't crowded. Held reading groups there too. A wonderful resource for any school.
Can't believe there are schools without one.

An example of why live translation (for Welsh) may not be coming anytime soon: These sentences have almost reversed word order!

Do you think he's hard to work with, is he wisely clearing deadwood, or are they rats leaving a sinking ship?

I've always thought about joining the BCS.
Anyone on here done so? What were the benefits?

Odd they keep going like this?
But as they're the best chance of beating Reform (and they won't with the pathway they've been treading) it may be good to clear the decks and reset... again...

Richard J Williams @richardjwilliams.co.uk · 14d

About time.

Richard J Williams @richardjwilliams.co.uk · 15d

Anything to stop the Toad and his fascists from getting power I suppose...

Plus, what's the appeal of Andy Burnham, as compared to Keir? Is it simply that the Right Wing Press haven't had time to demolish him yet?

Richard J Williams @richardjwilliams.co.uk · 15d

Diolch.

Richard J Williams @richardjwilliams.co.uk · 15d

No. Not yet. Busy writing online learning content for UCL.

He's selling them to school mates. According to the slicer, the cost of materials in 39p. But we had 6 print failures (and I had to amend the design, which took 30 mins) before we got one that worked.
He's currently aiming for £1.50.

Full in support of anyone with an ounce of influence, who attempts to take down Reform, whatever their motive. Even him.
Reform are potentially the worst thing since Brexit!

Richard J Williams @richardjwilliams.co.uk · 15d

I've experienced a few people writing like this on social media.....They have a row of five full stops at the end of every sentence.....Does anyone know why.....Is it a keyboard feature,,,,,or some new way to add emphasis..... or is it from AI.....Anyone got a clue what's going on?????

Son has been selling his 3D printed planes for a week now.
Now he is planning to sell these. The turrets rotate!
The planes were £1. What do you think he should ask for the Battleship?

Hi @projectpals.bsky.social
That makes 1000 followers!
Whoop!

He could have cut the word 'out' from this title...?

The British 'right' says to worry about migrants.
The British 'left' says to worry about Palestine.
The US says to worry about both antifa, and paracetamol?

But, I think we should be most worried about Russia. They are broadening their reach every day: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Ooh no. Not having that. I will respectfully un follow you and re-follow a few days. Someone else can have that honour.

Can be read easily, with no training.

English is an exclusive, eliteist language that has absorbed (or stolen) so many spellings, grammar structures and quirks. We need a language body, like the French, to standardise our written language.
