@LNER is AMAZING! Normally submitting a claim involves endless patience and form-filling, but @LNER customer service show it can be quick, easy and efficient. Thank you! Please run some seminars for other large organisations.

@colinmcgill Ideally put it in a too-large box so that it rattles for more excitement.

@BBCiPlayer PLEASE change your TV app back to the old layout. I hate the new one. I tried the Beta and then went back to the original which is soooo much better. Or at least give us an option in the settings please?

@BigBoyler Watched your video of Arnie the Doughnut with my daughter and we're both traumatised. Is it normal to have a canabalistic anthropomorphic children's book which finishes off with what looks like servitude? #possiblyoveralysing

@colinmcgill You've got to have some embarrassing pics to bring out when they turn 18. My standard are low though - I'd just aim for making sure there are no bits of sticky breakfast food hanging in it.

@ajcorrigan @colinmcgill I use @evernote to bookmark articles online using keywords. I also use an online journal (through https://t.co/0FHK0XNxah to write down things that fascinate or inspire me as I go along.

@steadiwear Wondering why your website is blocked by my browser security? Trying to find out when you might ship to the UK.

@colinmcgill Did it include students still continuing to text even when they'd been taken out of the classroom and you were 'having a word' and students just walking out and away down the corridor when challenged?

Working my way through https://t.co/L6Sss5F7Yh. Students who, at the end of a teacher's written feedback were also given the sentence "I am giving you this feedback because I believe in you." were achieving significantly better a year later.

Devoured this book today. @MrMcEnaney Nice readable summary of the state of Scottish Education. I kept saying "Exactly!!" whilst highlighting copiously. It gave my family/friends a break from my ranting.

@colinmcgill So excited for you.😍It's a good time to start watching foreign language films - you can read the subtitles instead of having the volume up.

[Fiona Sloane @FSloane]

@colinmcgill Congratulations!

@twentyonetrain @MissBteachs @MrTs_NQTs Not for the PGDE, but for another graduate course, I signed up, then realised I couldn't possibly manage with the kids so deferred a year. I'd already been given the readings and assignments so did some prep during that year so that when I went back I was less stressed.

@thomasofaquins My son has committed every word of your email to memory and is thrilled that his first class is maths! #excitedaboutS1

@ENUTeacherEd Getting to grips with all of the CEC induction activities this year. ENU graduates are not shy about engaging with the topics!

[Fiona Sloane @FSloane]

@EYCP @WHEC_Edin Sounds great!

[Fiona Sloane @FSloane]

@MrsStaceyMods My second was much worse too but only a few days. Hang in there!

[Fiona Sloane @FSloane]

Not allowed to sing?
Not allowed to play?
How about this instead?

Glad to be going into a school that shares my philosophy.

[Fiona Sloane @FSloane]

Looking forward to joining the @WHEC_Edin maths team in August. #planningbusroutes
