This tune from #MCGrammar about @alexhorne.bsky.social was far too good not to share more widely. We set him the task of including certain words in a rap about Alex and he did not disappoint. 🤩🔥🕶️🎶🎤📋

I just walked down this slope in Gatwick Airport on the way to my gate. No one else seemed bothered that it was the scene of the great Munya scandal on #Taskmaster. There wasn’t even a plaque or anything.

Here is a helpful little #TaskmasterClub explainer video from Jess Nagy over on TikTok.
Jess explains how she used the Taskmaster Club resources and how, as well as being a lot of fun, it really helped with team building and problem solving.

People who say, ‘whoever invented this deserves a raise’, how do you know how much they got paid?
Surely if the company paid completely over the odds for the invention and put themselves into financial difficulties as a result. That can’t deserve a raise.
