Head of English.
My life? 17 years teaching 16-19 year olds followed by a crash course in year 7s.
Yes, I was the “hyena guy” on Mastermind.

It’s like I’ve always feared - confirmation bias and recency bias are getting so much worse these days…

Delighted to note that in spite of posting nothing but one picture of my cat, I’ve gained followers.
Clearly oozing with rizz.

(Yes. The word rizz is now dead. A 45 year old teacher has used it. You’re welcome)

I don’t really know what I’m going to use Bluesky for - personal, professional or whatever - but here’s a picture of my cat sitting on my chest.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #7,551,409!
(I feel very special)

*arrives on new social media platform, with no one but own girlfriend and the BBC News to follow.
*sees @tabitasurge.bsky.social is on here, starts scrolling through her followers to find all the people on the “teacher”/“weirdo” continuum…

Clive James, not terribly impressed with what Lindsay Anderson did with an Alan Bennett piece, comes up with this line about a sense of humour. It's just made me catch my breath slightly.
