Questions at academic conferences:

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

I’ve said “isn’t it lovely” about the weather about 25 times today. I’ve also said “everywhere’s so nice and green after all the rain we’ve had” about 8 times. I’ve done 4x “I could get used to this” and an equal amount of “this is the life”, and 2x “I hope it lasts”. I look forward to saying a couple of “it’s cold when the sun goes in”s later on.

At @qqml_conference in Crete and meeting up with @InfoSchoolSheff alumni Robinah (Kyambogu University, Uganda) and Naifa (Sultan Qaboos University, Oman). Wherever you are in the world, the Information School is with you (although all the more likely at a LIS type conference)

I can't believe that it's nearly 7 years ago since I kicked a football on stage at the @UKSG Forum at Senate House in London (this actually happened)

They've shared a video to promote this year's Forum and look who's on it @leoappleton

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

A disappointing result but a battling performance full of grit and determination.

Thank you for your brilliant support. Back at it next week, together ✊🔴

[John Cox @johncoxnuig]

Sharing the 1st part of a SWOT analysis of academic libraries. The abstract and tables will cut to the chase if you are in a hurry! Massive thanks to @leoappleton for his support as editor of @NewRevAcadLib and also to a phenomenally helpful peer reviewer https://t.co/jzRzhw5SMd

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Jürgen Klopp said he had never experienced anything like our ‘super-special’ 2-1 win over Newcastle United at St James’ Park 👇

[Nicholas Poole OBE Hon. FCLIP @NickPoole1]

The British Museum situation is symptomatic of what happens when you only fund short-term projects and additionality. If you want the nations heritage kept safe & recorded in perpetuity, you have to fund long-term cultural infrastructure & jobs. No short cuts.

“Not bad” - Fine
“Not too bad” - Pretty good
“Not too bad at all” - Best thing ever

This photo is already English football history. Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, 29 years old, making his Premier League debut with Luton.

He is the first footballer in history who, with the same team, rose from the fifth to the English first division. There were a total of 4 promotions in 9 years. Amassing more than 300 appearances.

When he arrived at Luton they trained in a public park. Now, he will play at Old Trafford, Anfield, Etihad, Emirates and so on. The footballer who completed football.
