Watching g an old episode of Smallville. There's a woman on it with what appears to be an exceptionally short neck. Either that or the wardrobe department is doing her a huge disservice.

Like for a few years my lesson plans were required to refer to ECM (Every child matters) or I'd have been marked down in observations

Did it ever occur to these children that so many grants referenced DEI in their scope because this may well have been a requirement for approval of grants at the time of application?

I'm afraid I'm a bit hard-line about this in the same way I'm a bit hard-line about drugs, gambling etc.

Ah yes, Norway - the country that didn't sell off their oil and gas for a quick buck in the 80s and now continue to benefit from profits, dividends and taxes, generating a wealth fund worth over £200k for every citizen.

Yes. I could possibly remember how we made the patterns with the ribbons but I was 7 and it was many years ago so I may be being overly optimistic

Is my hearing really that bad or was there a fad for a kind of mumbling, whispering singing style back then?

I never found out. I held it until the instructor came. She seemed more bothered by the broken saddle. I told her what had happened & everyone else was looking after the rider who had been thrown. There was a crowd & I thought I couldn't add anything useful so. I left

Strangely I have also caught a runaway horse. On Knightsbridge. It had bolted from Hyde Park & been hit by a car so it wasn't hard to catch

That would have been more of a success of I hadn't left a bag on the bus and had to leap in the car & follow the bus on its return journey to (successfully) retrieve it
