"Now, I'm no bleeding heart, okay? But... when you're walking down the streets of New York City and you're steppin' over a guy on the sidewalk who, I don't know, might be dead... does it ever occur to you to think, 'Wow, maybe our system doesn't work!'". Bill Hicks.

The 18th and 21st centuries in one classroom! One of many decorative ceilings at Wentworth Castle, and @NorthernCollege's brand new digital skills pathway, which starts on Thursday!

It's not too late for you, or anyone you know, to start your digital learning journey.

[Jim Taylor @DbaseJim]

It's not too late to join @NorthernCollege's Introductory Digital Pathway, it starts next week with the First Steps with Computers course and is a great place for those without digital skills and confidence to start their digital learning journey.

@HandleBards / A Comedy of Errors at Stainborough Castle in Wentworth Castle Gardens. Absolutely riotous and wholeheartedly recommended.

[Jim Taylor @DbaseJim]

If Yorkshire is God's own county, then the view from the roof of Wentworth Castle / @NorthernCollege is surely being on top of the world, looking down on creation, to quote The Carpenters?

[Jim Taylor @DbaseJim]

Are you, or anyone you know looking to improve your digital skills? Whether that's learning the basics, or taking the first steps into more advanced content. Check out the digital courses taking place at @NorthernCollege for Adults in June and July.

Please feel free to share!

As you turn and walk away, as the door behind you closes, the only thing I've left to say... 🎶🎵

How many copies of The Call of Cthulhu do you have, Jim?

Well, it's in the omnibus, the Necronomicon book, the illustrated hardback, the graphic novel, the RPG rulebook, and I have it on Kindle. So, six.

You really need another copy, then?

Oh, yes! Look at it, it's beautiful.

@lucyvreid @CeliaRichards0n I've earned it, no one should have to delve so deep into the Mail Online, even for scones... 😀

[Jim Taylor @DbaseJim]

@CeliaRichards0n My pleasure (if you call trawling through so many Daily Mail articles a pleasure!). I have the privilege to work at @NorthernCollege and have daily access to the absolute delight that is Wentworth Castle Gardens so I'm a big fan. Keep up the good work.😀

[Jim Taylor @DbaseJim]

Nothing to see here, just The Daily Mail in 2018 promoting the National Trust's recipe for scones. Scones, made with margarine, not butter, I should add. Is The Daily Mail woke now?!

[Jim Taylor @DbaseJim]

Day 3 of National Trust Sconegate and grown men who ordinarily like to post D-Day-themed memes about how millennials would never survive WW3 because of their over-sensitive, snowflake natures, are still in a state of absolute, apoplectic meltdown about margarine.

Save the date! 🗓️ this Saturday 9th of March we pay our respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of their union and communities ✊🏼 https://t.co/mJ6RCY70ih @NMineworkers @orgreavejustice @Miners_Strike @DurhamMiners @UniteSharon @UniteEconomy

I've spent lunch breaks in worse places, with worse views.😀

@NCcomlearn the second of the two (to my knowledge, at least) remaining Kingwell Towers. The photo of the house is taken from just down the road, it would have been a great reciprocal view, especially as the surrounding woods would have been nowhere near as dense.

[Jim Taylor @DbaseJim]

Worst Specials cover ever...

[Jim Taylor @DbaseJim]

@virginmedia Thanks for the response. I have since spoken to your pre-install team who have advised that the service is good to go but the kit has dispatched but no-one knows where it is. Happy to wait until after the weekend when they said they will update me.
