I feel bad for historians of all topics and admire their restraint in not saying “I told you so” all the time when the world repeats the past over and over and over.

Not a great time to lose one’s elenventy million pairs of glasses when marking important assignments. Any advice @theofficialjvs.bsky.social @williamhanson.bsky.social as I feel this is a Luxury Podcast issue? Very much enjoyed Episode One!

Dads, seriously. It’s u13 football. The team doesn’t need 8 coaches. It is minus 2 plus windchill. How easy would it be for you to “keep your movement going” for 70mins? Also, “I’ll come on the pitch and sort out your body language” is unhelpful. Do you think they want to be losing 9-0?

Oh MY god, but that feeling when you are putting the empty After Eight box into the recycling but you find not one, not two, but THREE occupied sleeves? Now in my tummy. No 3-D waste for me in my recycling bin. #TookOneForTheTeam

I’ve been up and down and back again in an airport all day. My flight mates are now officially BFFs and we still haven’t got to where we are going.

Just been on the phone to a council employee whom I have never met or spoken to before. She signed off with “Love you too, bye.”.
Somebody’s had a good morning 😳

I have lost my voice (physically not metaphorically). So Sprocket here wants to know: “How you doin’?”

Me: why is my phone all sticky?
Wife: is it? I wonder why. (As she brandished a gravied ladle around like Ken Dodd with a tickle stick)
Butter wouldn’t melt….

I don’t think my students would believe the extreme sweet eating I get up to whist marking their essays. Imagine if I put on their comments: “Marked with the assistance of a handful of nuts, 3 chewits and a chupa chup”. I’m gonna be a house end, or diabetic, by the end of this.

I tried to put a double duvet in a single duvet cover last night. Repeatedly. Thought perseverance would save the day. Then I realised the fundamental error I’d made.
And I thought “isn’t this just a metaphor for life right now?” 😱😳🤣
