Monday started perfectly—20 new glue sticks lined up in the tray.
By 10:30 a.m.? Gone. All of them. 😅

We all carry stories behind our smiles.
This one’s about that moment — the pause before honesty, when your heart races and your mouth goes dry.

I wrote this after my operation — about fear, surrender, and the quiet peace that came when I realised I was never really alone.
Sometimes faith whispers loudest when the world goes silent.

You think this is a bad day for Morato, imagine how dumb the folk(s) who spray painted that nonsense by the ground feel.

Lately, Reform UK have claimed that their hostility to migrants stems from an overwhelming desire to keep women safe.
But have they been equally concerned when the threat to women comes from someone they see as on "their side"?
I took a quick peek at their recent record. ~AA

Rod Stewart declaring we should give Nigel Farage a chance makes absolute sense when you remember his support for Enoch Powell. See this interview with Rod Stewart (International Times No 94 December 17-31 1970).

PSG have won the Champions League, at long last, and all it took was eight managers, 14 years, £2bn in transfer fees, more in wages, one hyperinflationary spiral and the complete restricting of European football. Easy to love the team. Less so the project. observer.co.uk/news/sport/a...

In Trump's first 100 days, he alienated us from our allies, crashed the stock market, decimated U.S. cancer research, expelled American toddlers, lost the Canadian election by proxy, and threatened your Social Security checks.
But at least he focused on the important stuff.

Calafiori, White, Gabriel and Timber all injured within the space of a week.
This bullshit all season yet rival fans will tell us we bottled the league.
Arteta deserves a fucking medal for the fact we’re not 8th at the moment.
Unbelievable manager 💪

Just finished Adolescence on Netflix. As a dad of two boys, it hit hard. Social media, pressure, pain—it’s all there. Made me reflect on how I show up for my kids. If you’re a parent or coach, watch it. Then ask: how are we raising our boys to feel and connect?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social hi James was listening to your show yesterday. I didn’t catch the name of the guy who was talking about his Greek mythology podcast. Could you give me his name if you get a moment, it sounds right up my street.

Teachers: You are NOT the problem.
The pressure, doubt, and exhaustion—it’s draining. But you don’t have to burn out to be great.
As a mindset coach for teachers, I help you:
✅ Rebuild confidence
✅ Set boundaries
✅ Thrive again
DM me to take back control. 💙
