Really loved ‘The Olive Boy’ @swkplay tonight. Ollie Maddigan’s a charismatic & skilled performer who adeptly took the audience through the gamut of emotions (loads of laughter, many tears, some cringing) in his one-man show about a teenage boy’s grief and longing. #theoliveboy

@Nylonman14 @TRH_London A solo bow? I’m not disputing it, you were disputing that he didn’t get one in the performance I saw. Which was an earlier one than you went to. I’m not surprised at all they change it because it was such a strange devision & many audience members were puzzled.

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@Nylonman14 @TRH_London Not for the performance I saw. If he did in the performance you saw then they changed it (unsurprisingly).

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@SEN_advice @newsworthy_gem You don’t know them. They went to a different school.

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@KShabby16334956 @PallaviciniSam ME TOO. It’s so effing twee and more importantly, exclusionary.

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@nomorecutz @SEN_advice Agreed. From my own professional experience I’d say he did have a point in there *but* the way he made it very generally, and not specifically, was insensitive, misleading & uninformed.

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@SEN_advice Ha, I think I know what you mean… Don’t want to discuss openly and can’t DM you, but if you DM me I’ll tell you!

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@tweetingina3 @IPSEAcharity @lb_southwark Quite.

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@SEN_advice Because:

1. I was, & was interested in discussing.

2. I wondered if your tweets were a reaction simply to IPSEA’s tweets or also from greater context of being at conference.

That talk was indeed bit shocking at times but also in fairness, IPSEA’s tweets are bit simplistic.

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@tweetingina3 @IPSEAcharity @lb_southwark Spoiler: as a fellow Southwark resident, I was not (surprised).

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@tweetingina3 @IPSEAcharity @lb_southwark Would you be surprised to learn that the Southwark Head of Sen, who was supposed to be speaking, was v late to the session - with no apologies or explanation for her absence - and was only able to be there for the 5 minute Q&A part?

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

At #SENLawConf @IPSEAcharity some excellent speakers and good to swap notes with other lawyers & parents.

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@I_need_a_razor @Emma40025133 Sympathies. And yes, I suspected it was mostly luck, unfortunately!

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@I_need_a_razor @Emma40025133 How did you get rid of the inflammation? Any tips much appreciated.

[Ness Lyons @lyonsness]

@HannahMatha @Oxfordite @mgtmccartney Exactly.
