@Office @Apple I bought Word through app store but my subscription won't activate.. 3hrs on phone with Microsoft who say it must be Apple; 3 & more with Apple who say it must be Microsoft 😭🤪 Both say refund impossible. Curious which one of you really needed that £60 and why

@ReadforGoodUK Some fabulous monsters were created today at @InglehurstJun! Yr 5 had the secret life of a werewolf and Yr 3 had no less than a demon dog, a blob monster and an unexpected alliance between a family of angels and a family of devils!😈😇 #leicesterreadathon2023

@ReadforGoodUK Fun sessions today @Judgemeadow launching their Readathon as part of #leicesterreadathon2023! After workshopping some ideas, yr7 abandoned the one about a clown from space 😭 but then they did relate to me the adventures of a time-travelling cowboy🤠so, you know

@ULTweets @TimRalphs Yes! It's the car park attendant of Durdham Downs. It's probably the most famous urban legend in Bristol. If you discount that attention-seeking crocodile 🪵

[Wilf Merttens @yeswilf]

@TimRalphs Really captures something of brizzle, just love it. And all the other offerings I've seen in this exhibition! Great idea 🍻

“Many are asking what it’ll take for people in power to wake up. But let’s be clear - they’re already awake. They know exactly what they’re doing. They know exactly what priceless values they’re sacrificing to maintain business as usual.”

My speech from today’s march in Glasgow.

Well happy to have our submission in consideration by the Pitch Film Fund @thepitch! It's a mocumentary about David set in a modern regime @johnhenrybaker @HeathStChurch — and it's up against some brilliant contenders by the look of it https://t.co/gnyCfuvTOR

I'm telling the true life story of a little known poet facing an apocalypse @baroquestock on 31st Oct @HeathStChurch. No, it's NOT me, even if he does show unusual humility and fortitude. Come hear tell of his magnificent woe! 🎻😭🖤🍻⚔️💥 #johannheermann
