Is she really singing about body parts? This is what everyone is on about? #melfest
Thanks to Jenni Bindon & Vera Koehler-Lewis for sharing the experience of the West Country Schools Trust of a standardised curriculum as a base that can be built on & interpreted differently for schools in the Trust
Teachers freed to think about how to teach
Thank you Simon for a rich and multi-layered picture of who we are as language people
The exciting ways this can be realised with learners, such illustrating names as an autobiographical expression of social identities
And the structural issues we need to address
Our Annual Conference is about to start, delegates are gathering and we are looking forward to some thought provoking presentations
Next up, Angelina Mango sings ‘Imagine’ #sanremo
Totally!
Either the commentators liked Cosmo the best or they’re just so happy it’s finally over #ViennaCalling
I’m going to be kind to Austria and say their selection process has been heavily impacted by a huge number of high quality artists and songs not submitting this year due to … well, we all know what. But that’s being exceedingly generous. The last two hours have been excruciating. #ViennaCalling
That’s exactly the one I was thinking of too! How bizarre that I have transposed Luis into it. Might be getting it muddled with The Vault for some reason …?
I think so. Am trying to find it but it’s been a while since I saw it.
Maybe I’ve misremembered but anyway, I do love him!
No I love him! But you always know nothing good is going to come from an encounter with him. Apart from the one where they robbed the bank and accidentally ended up in the cafe in the morning. That was fun! What the hell was it called?
The commentators are slowly running out of polite ways to say “that was scheisse” #ViennaCalling
This guy gives me the heebeegeebees every time he pops up in a film 😬
Not sure if it’s on purpose or not, but Herr Kurt is singing like he’s learned the lyrics phonetically - it’s *almost* English, but not quite #ViennaCalling
Half way through and not one of these songs is worth what Vienna will be shelling out as host city. A bit embarrassing tbh. And hosts with no clue or charisma. #ViennaCalling
Tsui Hark’s 1986 rambunctious, fast-moving film Peking Opera Blues gets the Arrow Video limited edition treatment. With a host of extras, the 4K UHD and Blu-ray release drops on 16th February, and is worth your time for Brigitte Lin alone. Marie's review:
She sang the Actual National Anthem. So yes, she’s here!
Quite impressed by Cortina’s presentation of Olympic rings but nothing, NOTHING, will beat the forging of said rings at London 2012.
Well.
However, there was no guarantee he would win and on a personal note I would rather he stood when the situation is much more confident. If Polanski/Gullis were the other options, it would have been very messy indeed.
Heard a lot of “ICE is the Gestapo” recently, and I have to say, I think this sums it up better. youtu.be/BYOeamkqHtc?...
For me there is definitely a way that social media ‘influencers’ speak that stands out a mile from ‘real life’ speech (don’t know how to express that any better!) Dr Geoff Lindsay talks about the ah/ay thing in this video, if you are interested youtu.be/nCe7Fj8-ZnQ?...
Well I was waiting to hear Matt Blxxk and all I can hear is Eurodab … can’t get that out of my head now #MESC2026
Add Paula Selling’s mid-competition set to the eternal “why don’t they just send this instead” list. Pity whoever has to follow her #SelectiaNationala
Neeeeiiinnn!! #tatort
Wenn’s Eva wäre dann bin ich super enttäuscht #tatort
Stimmt! Ist sowieso ein bisschen weird aber.
Moment mal - haben Leitmeyer und Batic das nicht vor zwei Wochen in München ermittelt? #tatort
Godfather (always) or Sinners. Have a good flight!
