@smallwars I was concerned about the rise of social media and its effects on cognitive dissonance in warfare nearly 20 years ago when I worked for the UK MOD. Not a surprise, just leadership takes it more as a priority these days.

Random comment after an assembly on knife crime:
‘Miss, can I carry a sword in London?’
‘No, you can’t, but I can.’
‘Eh?’
‘I’m a Freeman of the City of London, but we tend not to carry naked swords anymore.’
‘Nice one, Miss’

@benjaminbutter This week I’m teaching the concept of a Just War to my Y8 Reflective Studies classes. There’s a section on 9/11. I gave them insight of what it was like on the day - I was working in the MoD press office in Whitehall.

@ChiefScrobbler Allegedly they once did Brid to Scarbs in under 20mins. That’s through all the villages back then, not a bypass in sight.

@ChiefScrobbler @martgathercole My grandad used to go out riding bikes with him. Some fair speeds between Brid and Scarbs.

@Be_like_legend And ‘where is that music coming from…?’

@amandacomms What does ‘read the caption’ mean? Reminds me of Scarfolk’s ‘for more information please re-read’.

@ChiefScrobbler @RossMcCaff 24 in the shade on the Headland today, as measured by my non-calibrated, non-scientific reading.

@ScarredForLife2 I’ve been teaching my Year7s about smoking and vaping this term, finishing with a lesson to make an advert about giving up. I showed this ad. Every one of them thought it was very, very grim. It was the close up on the face that did it.

@ChrisCoopsSport Can you share the recipe? Sounds amazing.

A rare treat of breakfast in the garden. A little early for the church bells instead the are sparrows, doves and goldfinches. Absolutely glorious.

@86SirRoge @SkyNews @emmabirchley I must use nada nuevo in conversation more often! It’s 25 here, quite pleasant with the sea breeze.

@pinstripedline I was in the Mothership at the time. 12hr+ shifts in the early days.

@ShelaghFogarty @LBC Some very powerful conversations this afternoon. Compelling radio.

@Divine_Psylence @pinstripedline No prawn cocktail crisps, though.

@pinstripedline Did the canned fruit include lychees? Spot the bleak film reference…

@MrHarryCole @afneil When the Channel Tunnel was proposed, we were told there would be direct trains between York and Paris. Like that ever happened.
