Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Is that Criffel on the skyline? Up it many times when I lived in Dumfries - great view to the south. 110
Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Mary Tyler Moore in the Dick Van Dyke Show. Also the girl in the Dippedy Doo hair something advert (gel?). I must be older than you, especially with being late to hit puberty. 010

Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Six of my seven are Odysseys. I got a bit obsessed with translation (maybe still am). I think Walter Shewring is my favourite. 000

Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Wow. If it's a miscarriage of justice it's as outrageous as the Birmingham Six, Sally Clark, Timothy Evans. 110
Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Great calligraphy, not so sure about the joke ... 110
Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 03/03/2025A man who demonstrated the value of eccentricity, in everything he did. We need more like him. 010

Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Yes, it's a way of feeling out the response ... 000
Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Absolutely. But it would be a high risk move, given the current vicious circle of dumbed-down electorate and dumbing-down politics ... 000

Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Great country, though not always obviously so (I'm English, but I find I'm cheering Scotland in the internationals). Over-touristed, but there are still remote corners. Beware the Bonny Prince Charlie thing and Loch Ness Monster fridge magnets. 010

Simon King-Spooner @simonks.bsky.social · 24/02/2025You know them by their language. Don't those phrases - “learning designers”, “academic developers”, and “instructional technologists” - just drip with business-speak fraudulence, not to say sublime levels of convenient vagueness. Orwell would have loved it. 000
