@JamesL1927 Always intrigued me as a kid: why did I they leave the pubs up?

@tombennett71 For some weird reason I made a connection between your tweet and this one 👇 but can’t explain quite why…

@MrAWGordon_ Interesting thread. Thanks. Titles I definitely get, but I’ve never understood why students need to write the date?

BREAKING: Tory MPs now claiming that chief whip Wendy Morton and her deputy have both resigned - after fracking vote shambles. Total chaos engulfing govt.

@kjavadizadeh A poem I almost read at my mother’s funeral. Cheers for giving it air.

Congrats to Eliot Brook for finishing in the top five of last week’s Sunday League run scorers! Well done Eliot! 🏏 💪

[Ian Brook @IanBrook19]

@thebobajob @ThongsbridgeCC Agreed - it’s been an absolute pleasure to see them work hard and develop. They have some great role models at the club to be inspired by, in both this and future years…

@lynnsstrong Lots of Carver but no mention of Why Don’t You Dance? which would be mine. Blanchot’s La Folie du Jour would be the ‘story’ that shifted everything about stories for me - not sure how I’d plan a lesson on it though, which is I guess part of it’s significance… 🤷

[Ian Brook @IanBrook19]

@EHopeDoherty @eca_edinburgh Wonderful news - they are of course amazingly lucky to have you!
