@HotelChocolat hey guys Happy (almost) New Year. When do you expect to have the Velvetised Black Forest Gateau liquor back in stock? It's amazing - but out of stock everywhere...
If Matt Hancock would rather go on I'm A Celebrity than serve his constituents while being paid lots of money to be an MP, he should face an immediate by-election. Against me. RT if you agree.
If Yorkshire were a country we'd currently rank seventh on the Olympic medal table 💛

(Kept Team GB in fourth, as we didn't want to rob them of their Yorkshire medals!)
@gavinsl Sorry tweets out of order. Am not adept with this platform. Not the case that all hard-right are unsupportive of HE and exchange programs like Erasmus.
@gavinsl I am concerned that any future exchange policy would concentrate too much on academic merit and not the importance of support for disadvantaged students. Am also concerned about implications for vocational training.
@gavinsl "The Deal" doesn't have much to say about non-trade areas, and I would hope that now that is completed there can be a new, separate, focus on aspects such as (H)E and services. I don't see the evidence that UK govt would prefer foreign students not to come.
@gavinsl Thanks Gavin. I hope you're wrong. From my limited understanding it does seem that Erasmus was too costly, and about to become more so. But personally I would hope to see _global_ exchanges continue, perhaps under a more controlled scheme.
@gavinsl Always iffy purchasing non-standard items from the internet, but that looks like a pretty fair tree (of course, I don't know how glowingly it was described in the ad)...
@gavinsl I wonder if the originators were aware of Shaw's use of moodle "to dawdle aimlessly; to idle time away"? I liked UrbanDictionary's alternative definition: "man-poodle"...
