There once was a woman in Brighton, who thought she was quite good at writin’. but she ran out of letters and that’s when her betters decided her writin was fri

10 years ago I was in Istanbul with teachers from all over Europe. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet and learn from each other. Now the UK has excluded us from EU opportunities to travel, (unless you go to Eton or similar). Brexit is a dreadful thing.

@VictoriaCoren I think the doctor who was trying to yank out my 2nd born with forceps said it. It didn't go down well.

@cbcreative @richardroper 'Gran, I’m going to be Mary.'
'Lovely Ben. Are you sure?'
Ben paused, peering into a box on a wall.
'Can I have it?'
Mo shuffled closer as Ben, bubbling with excitement, thrust the box at her.
Stifling a scream, Mo seized it.
'How about a puppy Ben? Better than this huge spider.'

#WriteCBC task from @richardroper: Two characters are on a walk when they come across something, or someone, completely out of place. Write a mini-scene where we see how these characters react to this unexpected event.

@andreajenkyns Decent people think differently to you, and it gives me a little hope to see that @MarinaPurkiss has about 10 times more likes than you.

@thatwafflegame I did it, with 3 moves to spare. (An achievement for me). How have I spent the last year not reading the examples given with the definitions? (On daily waffles). They make my day, a bit like an extra yummy topping on a waffle, I guess. Thank you!😀

@easyJetholidays It's the ultimate exotic location for me. Diving and snorkeling there would be a dream come true. I'd also love to delve into some of the amazing historical sites in Egypt.

@BrynDonovan Yes, I know the origin of the phrase - Monty Python, but I'm having trouble working out which is my generation! (who are the silent ones???)

[clare cheetham @cing56]

@easyJetholidays Yes I can. Austria, Slovenia and Montenegro.

@arealmofwonder I'm having a mallifuff sort of day, and much as I long to talk to someone about crittlecronks, I can't see it happening.

Can you split these words into two groups in today's #GCHQPuzzle? 🤔

@RealDMitchell @BBCiPlayer I was concentrating on identifying the room a friend used to have in the glass Queen’s college block next to the Cam before realising it was a hideous crime scene.
I’ve loved all episodes …so far. Wondering if theme tune holds musical clues?

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Exactly 12 years ago today, a Taliban gunman pointed his gun at my head and shot me for daring to speak up for girls’ right to go to school.

I want to thank every person for your solidarity and support, from praying for my recovery to helping me in my work for girls’ access to education, both in my home country of Pakistan and around the world.

Most years, I spend October 9th like any other day, with gratitude for having lived another year. But today, I am in New York to address the American Society of International Law (ASIL), a prestigious group of legal experts who have chosen to honour @MalalaFund and its work alongside Afghan activists fighting to protect the right to education for girls in Afghanistan. These women worked tirelessly before the fall of Kabul in 2021, and fearlessly since, to keep girls learning under the most impossible circumstances. It is humbling to stand alongside them and gratifying to see them receive the recognition they deserve.

The Taliban continue to point literal and metaphoric weapons at girls and women in Afghanistan every day, from public beatings to ruthless edicts that ban them from learning, working and living freely. The brutality of the Taliban’s oppressive system against women is so extreme that Afghan activists and human rights defenders are calling it gender apartheid.

Right now, Afghan women and girls need more than words of sympathy. I call on governments and influential institutions to leverage their power, and through international law, hold the Taliban accountable. I especially call on Muslim leaders and institutions to play a leading role in challenging the Taliban’s misuse of religion and culture.

Just as people stood with me and my friends more than a decade ago, I hope people will stand in solidarity with Afghan girls and women now.
