@auld_skater @revpaulwhite In the US they are electing a president. Everyone across the country is choosing between 2 people. In the Uk they are electing a parliament. They’re choosing 650ish local representatives.

@Samfr Love these threads so much. Thank you. What’s your prediction now on likely number of golds?

@thomclaxton 💯 My favourite sportsman ever. Will be missed.

@HFWJDW @Adam_SH69 That’s simplistic. I work in Dubai but wouldn’t call myself an immigrant. I have no right to stay unless I have a job. A child born there they would not become emirati. My children could live here for the next 18 years and still have no right to stay. That’s not immigration.

@leafonbreeze @LukeTryl So if someone in Miami took the 4500mile flight to Hawaii, you would consider that a “staycation”?

@_MissieBee 2 year old had a meltdown because granny and granddad wouldn’t let him ride his bike inside their house. 3 year old starting sobbing because he wants to go “to the Uk”. We’ve been in the Uk for 3 weeks but no amount of explaining will make him accept that. 🤦‍♂️

@Positivteacha Comments like this are what drives young boys towards people like Andrew Tate. Telling them that masculinity is in and of itself a bad thing. There are lots of fantastic masculine role models. The demonising of men as a whole is not helpful.

Nice to receive in the holidays!

[Michael Dickie @MDteach84]

@missradders @rlrossi64 The way it’s worded. When you’ve sold it for 7k then bought back for 9k, the instinct is to think you lose 2k at that point and therefore only make 1k overall.

@VerandaThought When you’re a parent, work is definitely more relaxing than holidays!

@hiltonholloway @GustavPaulUK @francessmith Fair enough. Certainly not as important as writing about cars.

[Michael Dickie @MDteach84]

@hiltonholloway @GustavPaulUK @francessmith I was just going off your definition. I have been a teacher for 18 years. I neither save lives nor put myself at risk. Is it a proper job? Curious as to what is. Do we not need people that work for the council?

[Michael Dickie @MDteach84]

@hiltonholloway @GustavPaulUK @francessmith So working in a shop is a proper job. Working as a police officer, surgeon, firefighter, nurse, teacher etc. not proper jobs? Interesting take

@jacmagic @drivevolleys Nope. Player. First player, male or female, to win 2 singles Olympic gold medals.

[Michael Dickie @MDteach84]

@Declanrooney88 @drivevolleys Only in the final.

@Mr_B_Morgan For me it’s about engagement. I’ve seen an outstanding teacher keep a reception class on the carpet for nearly 20 minutes. Every child engaged, talking with partner, using whiteboard. I’ve also seen children switch off after 2 minutes of a 5 minute session. I know which I prefer.
