This morning I have a doctors appointment. I literally have no idea why. I’ve had all my regular ones, and this has been in my calendar for weeks, but I can’t find a message about it. Was about to write it off, and then doctors sent me a reminder. So who knows what it is for 🫣😂

This sport throws up great quotes all the time but Lando Norris saying: "I've done that before, in Mario Kart," after watching a clip of Max Verstappen deliberately driving into George Russell in the cool down room is a clear all-timer.

10 seconds? What a joke.

And this is why Verstappen is such an idiot. Just so out of order.

Is education in the UK drowning in technical debt? And, if so - what are the main reason for it - and how do we go about settling the debt so we can move forward? I have put together a short blog post with some thoughts. www.mattian.co.uk/is-education...

I don’t think so. I watched it for the first time in years today, normally ignore it - and it’s a procession. Was there actually any overtaking on the track? Audiences watching TV get nothing from this one, and it seems neither do the drivers.

Sorry but the commentators on Sky are trying to make up stories which just don’t exist. Not a touch on Crofty and Martin.

Great overtake by Norris there.

The issue is criminals need to get it right once to breach an org, but those defending need to get it right every single day of every year. So you can spend as much as you like and it still wont be enough to stop the risk. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The M&S breach shows a key message I try to get over to those interested in listening - it’s not the attack that will be the biggest impact. It will be the time it takes to recover and longer term impact on reputation.

They were never “free” - schools pay licences to cover them. They pay these yearly already. The ESU is a penalty on top of the licence costs for not getting your act together and upgrading in the last 4 years.

I have to take 9 tablets a day. Why is there not a system that knows when I got my tablets, and so when I need to reorder them? And why can’t it do this automatically? And why can’t it ensure the tablets are in stock?

@octopus.energy apparently neither of my meters have provided data since the 25th March, I’ve emailed your team via the app, but they took ages to respond. will this affect my use of cheaper rates? As on EV tariff and therefore time most of my usage for nighttime?

I honestly don’t know why you would have a trust model, and not enable leaders to allocate funding based on needs they are asked to resolve, or, by not letting them develop centralised services to enable schools to focus on teaching and learning, and experts run the ever increasing operational sides

Fun day with my kids, partner and parents driving a canal boat for the day 🥰 which was for my birthday. Nothing like having the whole crew together. Not always easy, but always worth it.
