Every year I think (fear) it'll be the last time I get to do this, but for this time at least...

Pride of place on the tree again this year @teachertapp.bsky.social

I tend not to write often (as this is only my 2nd blog in 5 years will attest) but this has been rolling around in my head for a while:

6-7 has got nothing on DX'ing someone. Kids these days really missed out.

1. Nobody else will be there - The National
2.Out to get you - James
3. Young Pilgirms - The Shins
4. A pirate looks at 40 - Jack Johnson cover
5. Holy - Frightened Rabbit (more for the video than the song though!)

And we all know what bandwagon that disingenuous vote grubber would have jumped on in 1989 too

Stealing this 😂😂

Just spent the club ownership segment on the morning's @footballramble.bsky.social mailbox waiting for Luke to say the price of everything, value of nothing, anticipation was killing me. Excellent points and well worth a listen. Great show as always lads 👏

It's half term, which means I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away.

Simply *repost* this post for your chance to win.

I will choose a winner at random this Saturday (22nd February).

Congratulations, look forward to reading it!

100% I'd love to have the confidence Ibou could pick up the mantle there, but can't trust his fitness. There's noise around that lad from Ajax, but I'm none the wiser on what he's actually like 😂

Drop off in Quansah is a worry too.

I'd love to know how Arne Slot gets his head to shine like that, it's majestic. Whereas on my best day I look like a peeled potato with googly eyes stuck on. Honestly I'd settle for Slot's shine over me hair back.

4743: University of Blarthon. Doctor Toyota sighs: 'Yes, I know everything you were taught in first year about what Christians believed is hard to reconcile with this. Just go with it, okay?'

Haha! She'd be more than happy to! We couldn't stop laughing that she'd said poncho so randomly on my way out and that's what was on offer

She really was made up about it 😂 thank you again!

The @teachertapp.bsky.social poncho was greatly appreciated @heymrshallahan.bsky.social goes well with the shades too!

Deepseek is strange. I asked about the student uprising in China, an explanation popped up, seconds later vanished replaced by it's beyond its current scope talk about something else. Same on Taiwan. A question on Kwangju however was answered in detail and remained. Censorship in real time.🤔

After 12 years, my work bag has finally given up the ghost. It was pricey, but in terms of daily use for over a decade, probably the best value item I've ever bought. Farewell old friend.

I tried the original one for the first time last night and was genuinely surprised. Will give that one a go next. Thanks for the tip!

Not a bad Saturday.

He's not played in Cardiff since 2010 and that was for the first time in 35 years. Can you please stop supporting people who treat Wales so badly.

I quite often find coverage of South Korea in this country a little clichéd or wince inducing, but the @thenewsagents.com coverage and interview about the events of this week was spot on! Well done @jonsopel1.bsky.social @emilymaitlis.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com great work!

Part of the reason I fell in love with Korea was its history of the people overcoming every challenge and hardship that came their way. The events of the past 12 hours only reiterate that. An amazing country, an amazing history and most importantly amazing people.

100%, its so important. I've always worked in faith schools in economically challenged areas. The celebration of Christmas for us is really important, but it's always a delicate line with the commercial and gift side of it all.

Definitely agree with that, if you're using it or indeed anything else Christmas related to manage behavior, then for me, it's seriously out of line.

Ultimately, a teacher knows their class. If it's going to bring a bit of cheer and excitement, then crack on. If it's not going to or your hearts not in it enough to really make it fun for them, don't.

A little early putting it up (going with the family majority 😂) but always a nice reminder of my @teachertapp.bsky.social prize a few years back!
