Second only to “When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea…”

Jesus… just a few mins in and he’s already peddled out the Corbyn line - absolutely pathetic. #CPC23 #sunak

I had to double / triple check this wasn’t a parody account!! WTAF have these idiots been sniffing?!?!? They have truly lost what little plot they had!! 🤯

Alexa… how can I take the attention away from real issues like crumbling schools, ever increasing class sizes, students having worsening mental health issues, educational inequality, teachers leaving the profession in their droves…

I wonder what non-existent problems the Tories will have miraculous solutions for today - I’m hoping for a ban on flying saucers after dusk and the restrictions on when giraffes can use the pub.🤞🏼 #ToryConference #CPC23

I wonder how many times I’ll hear ‘spades in the ground…’ over the next few days… #hs2 #uselesstories

Sunak is so robotic and pre-programmed, he makes Theresa May look like a hip-shooting renegade!! #sunak

Just back home in Derbyshire after a brilliant weekend at Hidden Notes festival in Stroud - superbly curated, absolutely brilliant, hats off to the organising team! 👏🏼

Badenoch - posh voice, condescending under scrutiny in an attempt to avoid further scrutiny, absolutely nowt between the ears, resorts to lies.

Surely at some point we’ll wise up to these useless charlatans?!

My lovely mom would’ve been 80 today, but she was the unlucky 1 in c1m that contract CJD every year. It was horrible… and we only had a diagnosis after her passing following a brain examination by specialists.

It’s worth familiarising yourself with it.

What a weird take on democracy…

Surely where an advertiser chooses to market their product / service is entirely their perogative?!?

Sounds like our man here is all for government controlled advertising… I think there’s a word for that…
(Clue: The word isn’t democracy)

Cracking night at our local - there’s a ‘Tapas Trail’ on tonight / tomorrow across about 6 or 7 pubs in town; slightly biased, but I have to say The Grapes effort was beaut!!

Have a great weekend all. X

Paid a visit to my old fave University of Derby for an ‘all things publishing’ chat with the legendary David Barker - I bet his ears are still ringing!! 😂

Superb LP… chuffed for ‘em! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Sat reading John Niven HQ superb* memoir ‘O Brother’ and find myself reading a bit about an encounter with the very person I’m meeting for a catch up tomorrow (@DavidBarker33 ) - it’s a funny old world, eh?! 😂

* it is quite brilliant, you should def buy a copy.

Hilarious… all about the me me me!! What a melt! 👉🏼🗑️

100% echo what Pete says 👇🏼

After a hectic 3 days at work the OoO is on until Tuesday! Time to kick back and relax - starting with a pint and a read (predictable, I know).
