@stokecity Reasonable I guess given injuries etc. I’d just like MR to try Manhoef on the left and Thomas on the right for a change. With Boz up front (outswing) crosses into the box might prove productive.

@shanechowen You could try running Access in Parallels or CrossOver on your Mac. 👍🏻

@shanechowen What’s a GNVQ?

As it’s #EnjoyStoke week, I thought I’d post a pic of an important part of city life. Proud to be Stoke born and bred. @stokecity

Today marks a significant personal milestone in my career in education. It was 40 years ago today that I started my first job in a college. Five colleges later and over 10 years as Principal of @BuxtonLeek College, this accidental career has become my life’s work.

Everything ready for our open event at @BuxtonLeek college from 10am to 1pm
tomorrow. Why not drop in for a visit. 😎👍🏻

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

@ipryce @ucu @FEWeek This is a great article Ian. Checking back. Starting pay for an L1 FE lecturer in 1990 was £11.5k. Roughly £33.5k in 2023 money. This demonstrates the pay gap clearly. Interesting point about lecturer vs teacher. Always preferred FE Teacher.

@G_R_Morley Seems clear to me. 😎👍🏻
