@R0SBIF Right bank obviously

@richardmarcj @WalkerMarcus My personal observation, and particularly recalling the very mixed efforts I witnessed as a student in the 1980s, is that the standard of teaching has, generally, improved considerably. Inspiration - fabulous when it happens, consistent competence - better.

[Prof Vince Bissell @BissellProf]

@richardmarcj @WalkerMarcus Yes I heard a lot of this sort of thing in my 35yr career in HE, usually from people who thought teaching beneath them and that they should be excused it on account of their important (often mediocre) research. I’m sure you’re an excellent teacher but ..1/2

Don’t EVER let your printer know you’ve waited until the last minute and you’re in a hurry, because it can sense fear.

@DuncanHegan1 I don’t necessarily disagree, but then again I suspect that many liberals would themselves find arguments on the basis of popularity deeply unsatisfactory. Since it’s all inadmissible I shall bow out at this point, but thanks for the chat Father.

[Prof Vince Bissell @BissellProf]

@DuncanHegan1 Thanks for the clarification Father. I have obviously failed to understand your intention when you write “denominations which remain orthodox seem to be able to attract converts”. However, to demonstrate that the argument fails on its own terms will require more than anecdote

@Dr_W_E_Bulmer @anglochog It is very very good, I miss it.

Mouth cancer rates in parts of Liverpool are x4 higher than the UK average. Spotting signs early could save your life.

Andrew Schache, Professor of Head & Neck Surgery and Caroline McCarthey, Honorary Consultant in Oral Medicine, say what to look for.

Dahlias putting on a good late show this year. To lift or not to lift, that is the question!

[Prof Vince Bissell @BissellProf]

Yesterday I accompanied someone to an appointment @barnshospital Everyone we encountered was amazingly kind, patient and helpful. Thank you, you are doing a fantastic job!

[Prof Vince Bissell @BissellProf]

Definitely on my list of favourite cathedrals now!

The Pembrokeshire coastline is certainly not lacking in drama

@Elizaphanian @CapelLofft How about this? https://t.co/VhUhm9QX2K

@ADEEorg Some very familiar faces in that audience! Have a great conference.

@WalkerMarcus @j_amesmarriott If it’s full-fat liturgy and full-fat theology, all to the good. But the “quest for moral and metaphysical certainty” has always fuelled the evangelicals and it doesn’t always end well.

@BumbleCricket I was there - a 13 yr old boy with two pals from school, in the western terrace no less! The anticipation in the ground was incredible and, thankfully, fulfilled. What a day.
