Great to finally be able to say that Language Lessons Ordinary Level is coming out this year. Just want to thank @GillEducation for the opportunity to write it and @Stephanie_Bon for all her help and guidance throughout.

Hi all. I'm moving to Blue Sky. Elon at that Nazi really last night was the final push. Here's my profile over there if you want to follow. https://t.co/zKPEUG0VST

@missdianemorgan @charltonbrooker @netflix Apart from Ireland. Which isn't in the UK.

[Dan Stynes @DanStynes]

@NetflixUK will Cunk on Life be available in Ireland? We're not on the UK so have no access to the BBC i player. Ireland is actually a different country to the UK.

Hi @SportsDirectUK! My review was that you sent me a faulty jersey that didn't have a crest or sponsors on it. So it's interesting that instead of contacting me about the flaws, you've simply decided not to publish the bad review.

‘I feel I’m more comfortable here than in Ukraine, I feel my heart is right here and it should stay here..’

My personal favourite interview from all of 2024 - little Liza Petrenko in Croke Park with her friends from Corofin in Clare.

🧵
Before Norma Foley's speech in 2022 the Leaving Cert was being carefully redeveloped.
At the time subjects that had previously had no extra component (like aural, oral, History essay, practicals etc) were going 80/20. 80% exam, 20% project.
People were happy enough with this.

Decided to watch The Wonder Years and had no idea @RobertPicardo was in it. Some top quality drawing of the female reproductive system going on.

[Dan Stynes @DanStynes]

Have Harris and Martin disagreed yet? They're the same party. Their whole tactic is to attack McDonald and agree with each other.

[Dan Stynes @DanStynes]

Can't disagree with any of this. Well said, @conorsmurf

Finalising my planning for 5th and 6th Year English and History. Have the Dept said if the exam adjustments are staying for 2025 and or 2026? Can't find a circular on it.

It kills me to pay this every year...

I just realised that pressing '/' brings you straight to the search bar on Google and I feel like Homer did when he figured out he only needed to press 'Y'.

[Dan Stynes @DanStynes]

I'm making History questions and I mistyped 'Russia' as 'Wussia' and it made me laugh.

[Dan Stynes @DanStynes]

@ballsdotie 5 points up with 2mins left and a pen on their 5m line and still lose. That's going to hard to come back from.

[Dan Stynes @DanStynes]

Call me old-fashioned, but the camera continually lingering on Declan Rice's face after that game was amazing.
