@MrLGeo For. Sure.
I recently taught A-level French Lit. having not taught French for years. Couldn’t really have done it without AI to be honest.

@SamStrickers181 When we had Ofsted or reports or whatever whatever whatever I used to get up at 4am and work then in my dressing gown with a cup of tea. Weirdly I’m divorced.

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on the new 2026 World Cup ball that needs to be plugged in and charged before kick off:

“Football is finished. Completely finished. We are charging footballs now? Charging footballs before kick-off like they’re iPhones? And people still want to tell me this sport has ‘romance’ left?

The biggest sport on earth, the most emotional game in the world, and now the football itself has a battery inside it like it’s a smartwatch. Think about how insane that sounds for a second.

“They keep calling it ‘progress’, but sometimes I look at modern football and honestly wonder if we’re slowly killing the soul of the game.

Back in my day, the ball was a ball. You kicked it, you controlled it, you scored. Simple. Now we have sensors inside the ball, 12 cameras watching every blade of grass, computers tracking every heartbeat, and VAR officials sitting in a room deciding football frame-by-frame like it’s some science experiment.

And don’t tell me this is ‘for accuracy’. Accuracy for who? Because all I see is the game becoming more robotic every single year. Strikers can’t celebrate goals anymore because they’re waiting for a microchip inside the ball to tell them if someone’s shoelace was offside three passes earlier.

You score a goal now and nobody celebrates properly anymore. The striker looks at the linesman. The fans look at the screen. The referee puts his finger to his ear. Then everybody waits 90 seconds for a laboratory decision from people sitting behind monitors.

The funniest part? FIFA will market this as ‘innovation’. Innovation? No. It’s control. Football was the most human sport in the world because of emotion, controversy, chaos, mistakes, that’s what made people fall in love with it. Now everything is engineered.

Soon they’ll have AI referees, automatic red cards, and maybe balls that vibrate when a player dives. We laugh now, but look how fast this nonsense is moving.

And people wonder why old-school fans say modern football has lost its soul. We went from street football to Silicon Valley football in less than 20 years.

Imagine telling Ronaldinho, Zidane, or R9 that one day the World Cup ball would need charging before a final. They would think you were joking.”

Modern football keeps calling itself ‘evolution’. Sometimes it looks more like the death of spontaneity.”

@simplem_ths @GayTory I’m 54 and first had a Maccie Ds when I was about 16. Before that I’d very occasionally have scampi in a basket with my grandad. Kebabs during free periods in 6th form. A big treat was fried egg and homemade chips on a Saturday. So I’m in the Gen X crew.

@RachelOrr @keith_campion @MrBoothY6 I’ve also got jobs when there was an internal cand. Twice. In fact on one occasion the internal was given the job and I was given a bigger one!
