@liambeadle I got fined for being in a bus gate in Manchester last year - easy to miss the signs when you're trying to find your way around an unknown place - well that's my excuse, anyway! 😂
"That's a moment of physics-defying fantasy!" The amazing Angel Barajas 🇨🇴 catches a Cassina-Kolman combination ONE-HANDED on Horizontal Bar...and goes on to stick his dismount like it's nothing. Incredible scenes from the Antalya World Cup final! #Gymnastics
I was born in 1983. Since my birth about 6 billion humans were born and only 2.6 billion died. Wild numbers. Makes my head spin despite working with demographic data every day.
Every language I’ve learned has taken me further than I ever expected - to smiles from strangers, shared experiences, and cultures that reshape how you view life. From Spanish to Somali, each language opens new horizons, and new ways of understanding the world beyond your own.
School languages were only ever my starting point. They opened the path to Albanian, Farsi & Mandarin: new scripts, friendships and ways of understanding the world. Begin with one language at school and you’re not just studying a subject; you’re setting a whole journey in motion.
If Mandarin gets more young people excited about languages in school, great; let's ride that wave. But let’s also stop treating Latin as a museum piece. Beyond the declensions lies a powerhouse for critical thinking and cultural literacy. All school languages shape modern minds.
