What kind of person, let alone nation, sees someone fleeing unimaginable horrors, who has
left behind family, friends, all their hopes and dreams, who says they've lost everything...and tells them, 'Not quite everything. Hand over the one precious thing you bothered to save,'?
Absolutely disgusting.

Oh, Strawberry Shortcake and Custard the cat...
I still clearly remember how each one smelt - faint weird doll plastic, plus strong, sweet fakey scent of strawberry (cat=vanilla). I suspect there was vanilla in SS, too, she was addictive to sniff. Tiny Tears also smelt of vanilla, but more biscuity.

Four plastic dessert bowls against a white baking paper backdrop. They contain dark chocolate & almond ganache circle tarts, on a bed of digestive biscuits and are decorated with a line of little gold dot vermicelli, bigger pearl and bronze dots, silver sprayed flaked almonds and a vertical disc of gold-sprayed white chocolate.

Because we're watching The Shining tonight and I felt pud needed some 1920s gold lounge bling. There is a mushed raspberry sauce to bloodsplatter it, when we eat...

This is what my brain tells me to do when I've been sick and should be resting. #ADHD 🀷

Been ill. Should be resting.
Couple of rellies coming up to watch The Shining tonight so, of course, my Autism can recall all the shiny bling bits in the baking drawer and ADHD starts chanting, 'Do it, do it!'

I should be in bed. But at least pud will be pretty. Until I splatter it with raspberry.

I think, from my time in mainstream, I remember the process being called, 'Fuck, fuck, fuck! We're going to have to do redundancies in the support team to balance the books,' and then you run in panicky circles for a bit and solve nothing as there is no solution...

I'm a SENDCO at AP, and we get far too many pupils referred to us because they exhibited symptoms of their known and diagnosed conditions.

Schools have a long way to go, but this is not helped by funding issues, lack of support staff, lack of external agency support and failing LA SEND systems.

Our LA just refused to assess a Y8 for EHCP, who is with us at AP as mainstream have exhausted all options, & we're struggling to meet needs.
There needs to be much better inclusion in schs, but we also need to be able to enforce the rules re: SEND-related assessments & have Specialist sch options.

On the eligibility bit, it says primary school children. Is that right? Just checking as the rest of the info makes it sound quite broad.

I don't care your neurotype, if you're a paedophile child trafficker, I figure that's what we should be focusing on, not your technical writing skills.

Some people have really iffy priorities... 🀷

Damn it! Now I'll look like I'm trying to be trendy, just by wearing my own, unadorned face, when 'vampiric veal calf chic' hits the catwalks.πŸ˜‚

It was unnerving enough, the one season mid-range eyebrows were 'in'. Giant black caterpillar brows soon arrived, pushing me back to my untrendy rut...

He has absolutely no personal magnetism, so has to believe that all forms of magnetism are, therefore, mythical.

Easier than admitting to himself that he's always been a deeply unpleasant person who has to pay (or threaten) to secure any human contact/engagement.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

Like 'think, pair, share'?

Tried that in AP.

Unfortunately, I had two who opted for 'pair, cavort, abscond', which was somewhat less helpful for their progress in English...

All the ideas come around every 5-10 years or so. Doesn't make them bad, but they're not some new miracle.🀷

He's known for his knowledge of other cultures...πŸ‘€πŸ€£

Couldn't we just send him a mahoosive gold-sprayed monopoly money bill, write on some extra zeros and tell him that UK bills over Β£1000 get personally hand-written by the King? (It'd go on the wall in the Oval office. He'd never know it's fake.)

Isn't it disturbing that we've reached a point in history where the standards in politics and business are so low, we realise we need a collective noun for a group of paedophiles and/or sex pests?

It seems...underhand.

I don't want to be mollycoddled by some unknown entity and their personal moral code.

Any changes like this should be a pop-up the 1st time you open the app afterwards, which you can't get past unless you select and save your options.
