We need to put the idea of letting people drink beers in the stands permanently in the bin - the reason they can do it for rugby is because scoring is more frequent, it's not a comparable emotional experience

My secondary school was having an issue with uniform adherence and so held a very threatening fashion show of the all in one outfits, stitched together, which they planned to force us to wear, parents as well as students revolted - it was also the start of the downfall of our headteacher.

There cannot be a single person shocked at the Clavicular news (unless they were lucky enough to just not have heard of him of course).

My washing machine has decided to switch off mud way through and then just not work at all and the genius who put the kitchen in for the previous owner made it almost impossible to remove or even access !!!!!!!

A week in and Evie seems to be happy here with us - she is currently snoozing next to my armchair and last night she jumped up and sat in the sofa with me for a few mins

Was reminded today that some people have not yet learned, even at their big old age (I'm guessing late 40s), that we don't comment on other people's bodies, even if what you think you're saying to them is a compliment!! (I'm not calling people in their late 40s old)

A point away at Leeds is a good result BUT that was definitely a penalty.

British universities are now gripped by the ultimate madness. Some unis are bankrupting everyone else accepting students they can't even take and have to leave in limbo... While putting everyone on redundancy notice! It's crazed. Still no-one will intervene. thetab.com/2026/08/24/u...

I think it's bad that the UK press can escalate what is essentially a workplace matter into national news ahead of the fucking country being on fire and then get away with hounding their victim until they die.

There is real classed geographical inequality of provision & access now. Was talking to a friend in W Yorks abt how there's no geog degree at Huddersfield now. Similarly no politics, history, languages at Sunderland. Where have local Labour MPs been whilst this happened? @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social

What is it about driving that turns some people into violent arseholes? Our road is currently being used as a through road, there have already been multiple crashes, and my neighbour has just been called a 'motherfucking bitch' for asking someone who nearly crashed into her, to slow down.

In late 2023, the Society spent a day with Hertfordshire’s historians. We saw the quality, creativity and distinctiveness of teaching, research and engagement. We were told by a (now departed) senior manager that History was ‘a portfolio the university will guard very carefully’. bit.ly/4hLediN

So it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)

I bought a new (to me) cupboard for our shoes and I can't explain how much joy it's bringing to see it at the bottom of the stairs instead of a shoe rack 🙃

That video of Greenwood slyly hurting Harriet didn't surprise me but I do feel so bad for her, her own parents removed any chance she might have had for a safe place to flee.
