I’m not nominating anything, obvs. But if we decide not to charge students for tuition (good!) we need to find the money from somewhere and not just pretend it isn’t required. Each Eng Uni gets about £4k more per student per year than Scottish ones and that is unsustainable.
This is something to be proud of only as long as Scottish Universities are still being adequately funded for the students they teach. But they are not.
Congratulations, Tim! Very well deserved.

I've made a series of individual match posters for Celtic's European Cup run in 1967 before, but never a standalone design until now. Prints available on the shop if you fancy one! madebyfrankie.bigcartel.com
@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social did I miss “Deep Cover” review? Or is it too new/too streaming-y?
I thought it was a total riot. Haven’t laughed that hard at a film since… Booksmart, maybe?
I appear to be morphing into the pikachu format myself!
Deary me. Dysfunction abounds in Celtic recruitment.
