Likes coffee, cheese and consoles. Teaches chemistry, and the joy of Pokemon. Abuses power by singing loudly at schoolchildren. Once came 75th on Rockband.

As a teacher, I knocked myself out headbutting ceiling pretending to be a particle, star-jumping off a desk.

I've set my arm on fire when lit ethanol trickled down sleeve, from my hand.

You are my shining star, my guiding light, my love fantasy'

@Gwenelope I showed a student one of these recently and he said 'Cool, why have you 3d-printed the save icon? '

Fiat Currency: an explainer for Rachel Reeves

Government with fiat currency can create new money to fund the public services and investments.

This is done through central banks which issue new currency to finance government spending. 1/x

@HYWEL_ROBERTS You're gonna need a bigger botox.

If you're teaching A-Level Chemistry rates and talking about making a hotel breakfast, this is the rare-determining step.

For those people that get triggered by apostrophes in kids' menu or parents' evening in the wrong place, this one might send you over the edge.

In Italy and the £3.55 Too Good to Go was quite generous.

Andy Murray should be honoured for his services by displacing Ruby as cockney rhyming slang for going for an Indian meal.

The top 20

[Philip Clarke @ClarkePhil]

The New York Times just compiled a list of the top 100 books of the 21st Century. I've only read 15. Must stop reading books solely about Paul McCartney.
