@BillOddie So, Bill, with all you’ve achieved so far - what’s next? Yes, you are still here - and just look at your twitter following, etc.! Why did we enjoy The Goodies? Ans = humour, of course; so keep smiling :)
Sad myself: nesting blue tits have all cleared off without saying bye :(
@__TweetinChar__ @KevinWheldall Ageism seems rife - especially for women. Reaching a ‘certain age’, you may often feel ignored - becoming invisible and deemed to lack understanding - often patronised, no matter how well-read you are. Life’s next hurdle, post-menopause? But, yes, I’m generalising.
Seen these ads? This copycat company will slice off 35 percent of your tax rebate for acting ‘on your behalf’ - and take charge of your gov tax account, if you sign up. Make your own, direct claim; don’t be scammed, people - take care.

My daughter noticed that the word *disaster* must have been related to stars, like asterisk, asteroid ("resembles a star"), astronaut ("star sailor"), etc. We looked it up and discovered its origin in 16th century superstition. Thanks @LogicofEnglish.
@michaeldotjames@LogicofEnglish For me, etymology is fascinating and I enjoy encouraging learners to query word origins. So, thank you for sharing, & season’s greetings to all :)
@DukeOfHavoc@davidschneider Yes, so is it helpful to proclaim unnecessary alarm and stress? Shouldn’t we better focus on honesty: say what you think = fine; let’s listen. But stop announcing false facts void of constructive suggestions. It’s hard enough trying to understand all this - easy to criticise.
@TeamPennine Very kind. But, I can only smile - my husband is a bus driver - so I have a spouse’s pass. I just wish you’d ensure that passengers can check online before setting off, so we can plan. BTW, the Brighouse to Greetland missed too; such fun walking from stop to stop feeling daft.
@BBCr4today Moving and profound indeed. Something like this would update and may enrich the GCSE anthology too - perhaps adding another stanza or two - just my opinion :)
@LDShospcharity@leedsrhinos Most certainly in awe & so proud of Kevin Sinfield. Such a determined commitment to a worthy cause, and passion shown selflessly for Robbie and MND. You make me smile Sir Kev :)
@Kit_Yates_Maths@SWLiteracy Seems a hopeful start, John. Googled stats: 24.9 six to eleven yr olds in USA. Are the 3 million culturally diverse, and were they all medically screened before hand? And, I think we have to focus on monitoring 2nd doses, from what I’ve read. Thanks for sharing.
@damart_uk You know you’re getting old when - Damart sends you a birthday card + ten pounds voucher - to discover the only jumper you want is no longer available in your size - or even in any colour. Magasine in the recycling bag :(
