@jk_rowling@DreyfusJames I got a decent grade in English Literature O Level without ever looking at the Shakespeare play (Henry V) or the book (Tale of Two Cities). Brodie’s Notes and a good memory got me through.
Can still remember the main quotes 60 years later.
Went on to study maths and physics!
@isaacjohnsonLL I’ve just had surgery on a torn meniscus. Recovery is normally 2-6 weeks.
Even a seriously fit professional footballer would do well to be quicker than that
@khnh80044 I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it (driving from Southend to Leeds).
If you love this, then listen to the ‘Live’ version….possibly the best live performance of any song by any band ….ever

@ReemAmirIbrahim I spent 20+ years working for US tech companies.
Notably, it didn’t seem to matter how old I was or where I went to school/university as long as I could do the job.
Nothing seemed impossible.
By the way, re point 1 - the Americans don’t queue, they stand in line!!
@BerenCross The team selection tells you everything you need to know about why Farke won’t be given money to spend.
The only signing made in this window isn’t in the squad.
Gruev ahead of Longstaff and Tanaka
and so on
@AmexUK Day 2 of calling your call centre to discuss serious issues re misselling of the BA Amex card. The ‘call back’ function is not working (tried it 3 times yesterday).
Today, someone answered the phone - in the Philippines.
Do I have to report this directly to the FSA?
@LUFCMOTcom The entire Prem did 7 deals on deadline day.
For what it’s worth, I think the 49ers gamble is that there’s 3 sides worse than us and they can sack Farke at the end of the season.
They don’t trust him with new signings and neither do I.
@LeonWobYP Never expected 3 points, but I did expect us to try.
If Farke can’t pick & motivate a team to play the League Champions elect at ER, we have the wrong kind of player and the wrong Manager.
Gruev? the best you can say is that he’s scored only 1 goal less than Strand Larson!
@LNER I will fill out the form, but just be aware that there’s a difference between not having the ‘full complementary service’ and having no meals whatsoever, no sugar free soft drinks, no gin and so on.
Frankly, it was a disgrace.
@LNER I’m travelling in 1st on the 16.45 Leeds to Kings Cross, a journey I do frequently. Occasionally, they don’t have my 1st choice of meal or drink. Today, they don’t have any meals at all. Nor do they have any sugar free soft drink. So far, I been given 2 ice cubes
