Here for the fun of it. Tweeter of random rubbish on an occasional basis. Sometimes serious. History, literature, musing about why we do the things we do…

@PouncerSD I’m sure you already know, the Wolves are running again starting on 7 December on BBC4 😁

@wembleystadium @coldplay Oh well no been cut off, good waste of 5+hours and guessing no chance of callback as was never offered. Back to ending of the endless queue I suppose

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@wembleystadium @coldplay Still on hold on the accessible ticket line, be nice if I was being offered the option of the callback service 🤷‍♂️

@Mark_Hartshorne @naomicfisher You've not included the foundation tier, who make up the vast majority of those deemed to have failed, 43% required to get a grade 4.

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@Mark_Hartshorne @naomicfisher Not sure where you're getting your % to pass from AQA foundation level (grade 1-5) total marks available 240, mark needed for a grade 4 - 157 (65%), higher level (grade 3-9) again max 240 grade 4 - 61 (25%). Most who fail are taking foundation.

@PouncerSD Looks delightful

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

Well, well, well, amazingly I passed my probationary review for my PhD. Now just the long hard slog to research and complete, then maybe I’ll actually get there one day

🌍😮 It truly makes you wonder what planet the leader of @NorfolkCC inhabits.

Those opposing the road 🛣️ aren't just out to delay and cause frustration. They're pleading with the Council to lend an ear 👂, heed their concerns, and more crucially, operate with utter transparency 🕵️‍♂️ and integrity.

The continual rejection of FOI requests 📩 and postponing the release of information obtained from a public consultation conducted over 12 months ago is nothing short of contemptuous 😡.

Letting misdirected politics 🏛️ obstruct its obligation to safeguard the environment 🌳 by neglecting the advice of dedicated environmental scientists 🔬 is unacceptable. This will only lead, as it rightly should, to legal challenges ⚖️.

The Council and its representatives don't function outside the law ⚖️🚫. Therefore, they must be held fully accountable for their decisions. #Transparency #Accountability #environmentprotection

Marginally terrified, but equally excited, to have been offered a Scholars Programme summer placement with @BrilliantClub Course design submitted,awaiting feedback, and just the small matter of creating the draft workbook 😬

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@ClareSloane1 That’s awesome! Congratulations 🙌

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

It’s nearly 9pm on New Year’s Eve and I’ve not yet gone to bed. That’s me being hardcore celebrating 🤣

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@PouncerSD I’m boring…plain hot chocolate for me, no cream, no marshmallows, no sprinkles, no added stuff, nothing…just all by itself

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

Enjoyed @AntiquityTAG, an interesting jaunt as a first conference to attend.

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@lornarichardson @AntiquityTAG Think you must be in Julian study centre, not Thomas Paine

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@lornarichardson @AntiquityTAG Staggering my way there now

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@lornarichardson 😂

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@tudorfoodrecipe Hope it goes brilliantly for you 😁

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

I suppose I’d best think about dragging out something other than tatty jeans, or shorts, and t-shirt for attending first ever academic conference tomorrow. Apparently that’s not smart casual 🤣

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

@boardman_claire @AntiquityTAG I shall likely come along to this as I genuinely have no idea how all this conference lark works 🤷‍♂️ Might even wear something marginally smarter than tatty jeans / shorts and t-shirt 😂

[Kevin Hyde @Disbloke]

Taking a nerve racking plunge to get tickets and attend first conference as a PhD student, TAG44@UEA @AntiquityTAG. I’ve no idea how these things work, I’ll be the one looking dazed and confused, seemingly like I have no idea what’s going on, or what I’m meant to do 😂
