Trying to keep up with the #Olympic #curling on @BBCSport is becoming an Olympic event in itself. I am getting repetitive strain injury constantly changing channels. And I had to apologise for an expletive picked up the last time I had to find #iplayer.

I despair of @BBCSport. Trying to watch live curling, and they keep cutting away for prerecorded bits. It's not about you; it's about the athletes: show more of them, less filler/chat.
BBC was once my Desert Island luxury, but I'm going to start watching sport elsewhere

@stats_feed The betraying type of weak and underhand, self-serving liar.
Interesting question

I shouldn't shout so much at TV quizzes

@bbc5live Home Again by Carole King.

Sometimes I wonder
If I'm ever gonna make it
Home again
It's so far
And out of sight

And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I've become . . .

#strictly of course, one dance was "more joyous": the other was a rumba! Weird judging criteria: never seen a 'joyous' rumba.

In the absence of boundaries and penalties, a minority of people will repeatedly inconvenience others because they understand-correctly-that they will be allowed to do so. This encourages the rest of the community to do so, because they realise they can, and because if they don’t, they will be taken advantage of.

Eventually, the community disintegrates because there are no shared beliefs or values to hold them together. There is no culture apart from everyone for themselves.

#Strictly if you skip sending someone home Week 1, then judge the dance off on 2 weeks' performances. Toyah scored 12. If it's all about the dance off, you need a Week 1 dance off.

First I put my iPod in the washing machine and now Nadia is in the dance off.

@dnleslie You just described my classroom. Any loose objects (books, bin, clock, phone etc) were trashed! Has made me much better at explaining and modelling than when I was PowerPoint dependant (as a former academic coming late to teaching - in a PRU). I recommend

@tombennett71 Classroom-dodgers act like bad behaviour is a mystery to be investigated. Rarely does it have anything but the most transparent motives.

It's accepted that the worst-behaved children and the most selfish and incapable parents soak up a huge proportion of schools' time and resources. However, nobody ever really analyses how much worse this makes school for the average child.

Trauma doesn't make people stronger. It damages their nervous system. It hijacks their digestive track. It keeps the person in a constant loop of hypervigilance. To tell someone they are stronger because of trauma is to deny what it has cost them to survive.
