Teacher of Chemistry and Cross Country Runner. Not necessarily in that order.
It's Peter Jones as the book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy radio series, describing the demise of Arthur Dent's brother. @gidcoe.bsky.social Credit to my bemused son who is wondering why everyone is talking about Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Thanks @gidcoe.bsky.social for Thru the flowers. Reminded me of the shock of The Primitives appearing on Wogan!

Time to re-visit some of the best bits of the early 2000s from @nikika.bsky.social My guilty secret: I've always got my Year 10s to role play addition polymerisation!

Nice bit of confirmation bias when listening to @mbdscience.bsky.social but maybe I need to think really hard about whether those pre-requisites are actually luxuries #cogscisci

Is this the most exciting thing to happen in St Albans since the Iceni burnt it to the ground @mrsampullan.bsky.social ?

Y11 doing exams so joined the 6th formers instead. Legs might be sore tomorrow 😬 #EduRunners

Was dreading Sixth Form Games after being ill for 10 days but pulled it off! Might find Junior Cross Country Club a bit more difficult tomorrow. #EduRunners

Wasn't pretty but I held together in approximately one piece for 6th form games. They did rather more. #EduRunners
