Been a week since this email was received.

Still no reply from the @OU_Law school at the @OpenUniversity…

Have tried calling to find more information, no one seems to know anything. Almost as though having been paid for the course, the University has banked the money and run.

[Steve @PatchworkSteve]

The handling of results that have been delayed by @OpenUniversity is nothing short of shambolic.

Thousands of students sitting in limbo like Victorian ghosts waiting for a telegram, with no clear communication, no accountability, and no apparent urgency.

Do better. #OUResults

[Steve @PatchworkSteve]

We’re not asking for miracles. We’re asking for results that were scheduled, prepared, and expected.

For an institution built on accessibility and support, this feels like a masterclass from the @OpenUniversity in how to erode both.

@angela_karena It’s glorious when the racists reveal their own stupidity. The Anglican communion is a global family of 42 national and regional member churches in communion with the CofE, sharing a common Anglican tradition under the Archbishop of Canterbury. You absolute plank.

@Williambalono @Number10cat And yet, here you are…

[Steve @PatchworkSteve]

At the station this morning, I heard an interesting bird call I’ve not heard before. Like two pips relatively close together.

I thought it sounded like a young bird, so had a look around to see if I could spot it.

The ticket gate. I heard the ticket gate.

Wonderful addition to me ‘To be read’ pile today! Thanks @sacha_coward

[Steve @PatchworkSteve]

@PositiveLad Looking like we may get a result by this afternoon (Wednesday) or early on Thursday.

There is plenty of time to crack another bottle.

[Steve @PatchworkSteve]

@PositiveLad Not for long.

[Steve @PatchworkSteve]

@PositiveLad It’s still far too early to jump to a reactionary conclusion.

It’s early in the night and while the tangerine shit-gibbon is ahead right now, that’s to be expected. The states which declare early are generally solidly republican. There is a long way to go. Remember to breathe.

@sacha_coward @BigglestonesBks I ordered my copy today! 🧜‍♂️

@BritishBakeOff That sounds… Kinky. 🤣

Just to add, @Baroness_Nichol, you may remember, before HIV was HIV, the term used to describe the illness was GRID:

Gay Related Immune Deficiency

People genuinely believed it was just affecting gay people, so for years the illness known as HIV, was GRID.

You’re not helping.

@Baroness_Nichol Emma, can I just check, do you understand that HIV doesn't know whether you're gay, heterosexual, or any other flavour?

As such, the only function of S.28 was to hurt gay people.

Am I alone in thinking @Ianhwatkins and Craig Doyle make a cute couple?
