Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

Not sure why people can’t comprehend how student loan/debt should be treated as a scandal.

Most of us were TOLD at school…. When we were CHILDREN, you’ll get a loan which will have minimal impact on you, don’t worry about it too much, just apply on UCAS and hope for the best.

No one told us about the increase of crippling interest, how it will affect your ability to buy a house and your general take home income, with little hope of paying it off…..

No one thought …. Let’s ensure these financial products are fully understood by these bunch of KIDS who have never even had a credit card or an overdraft in life.

How can people understand misselling for car loans, Accident claims, loans sharks, but not this??

Umberto Eco’s surname is an acronym for the Latin phrase ‘ex caelis oblatus’, ‘given by the heavens’. The surname had been given to his grandfather, who was a foundling, by a city hall official.

Mani was our hero. Then he was our mate. He always used your name a lot when talking to you. One of the many things that made you glow when you’d been in his company. And he had the best stories because he forgot nothing. He never stopped being our hero. Never will. elbow x

[Paul Rees. ex Rucksack. @HannahIamthest1]

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after.

And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before.

If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from Father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early, you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.

Saw this & thought I'd repost.
