She got a D in A level maths, back in the modular era when you could re-take modules over-and over, and cram for 1/6 of the course before such exams.

@clivejonesmp.bsky.social is here and I'm sure he would want to attend as it fits in with his trade spokesperson role

I remember packing friends into our dining room to play this. I got 5.0 on the free skating this Christmas which I was pretty chuffed with.

Fairly standard text loading screen. Some nice touches.

Winter Games

It was... inevitable. #Epyx made some absolutely cracking games for the #C64 and WG & its Summer counterpart, & their respective sequels & the two called "The Games: Winter/Summer Edition" - there is a lot of mini-game action going on! For me - this is top drawer! Hot Dog!

The GOAT, and one of the three top rated Β£15m plavers on the original SWOS

This is really nice, but why put the water part in, it is hardly something that she can deliver on.

he C64 original is a brilliant game

I counter that free or almost free at the point of use health care is standard in Europe and considered far left in America.

Far left in America is centre in Europe

Are they trying to put applicants off? Surely a lot of potential applicants will just decide to apply to Oxford instead.

He was a pretty useless MP. He would never sign early day motions if asked. He wrote about the shortcomings of the EU in the local paper every week for at least 30 years and Wokingham still voted remain! Said that he wasn't stepping down because he was going to lose in 2024 then they lost by 8000.

I think that the host could have said that he didn't want the show to contribute towards the negative comments that she experiences, and also that the couple should get more than 20k and get it more easily.

I don't think he's crossed his EU red lines

You have no chance if you continue to let your opponents have a huge advantage. You need to sort out the electoral system, media ownership, get those tory stooges out of the BBC. You can't just rejoin the EU but you can cut the red-lines BS and state that that is your long-term intention.

Have you been hacked or been on the sauce, Ed? That's a ridiculous suggestion.

It should have been the first thing they did. Why do they want to try to fight a battle going uphill?

I put this up for year 10 earlier. I can see how to do this using algebra, but that was quite extensive (for them) and we haven't got to that bit yet. Can anyone spot a quick way to solve this? #MathsToday

He should be clear that we need to eventually rejoin, bring in air cleaning in public spaces, regulate media and repeatedly point out that Britain does not want to be like Trump's America.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social He is in trouble because he has not acknowledged the depth of the big problems (Brexit, Covid, disinformation and Trump) and has tried to plod on as if we are still in the 90s instead of using his big majority to meet these head-on.

Much the same as Corbyn was playing the long game on Brexit

Hoping to start core maths in 2027, we will certainly insist on at least the fx991

No for A level

We insist at the start of the course and nearly all of them buy the CG100

It seems mad that tables can still be used in 2026

It looks like we are moving to Dutch style many-party politics but keeping FPTP in this scenario makes no sense. Unfortunately Starmer is not going to stand up and explain this to the people.

Yes, they seem to have completely forgotten how important it is that their base feels good about supporting them
