So I have this thing in my head: West End Girls is 40 years old. Forty years prior to its release saw the end of WW2.

I thought they were pretty good. Nice guest spot from Peter Capaldi.

I have the exact opposite feelings

True.
Back on topic, it continues to concern me that the "research informed" edu movement seems to favour certain flavours of research.

Thanks for replying.
Things don't seem to get much traction over here, which is the only problem with BSky I feel.

Oh hi! How's things.
I know what you mean. Part of me hopes that when Musk has gone to Mars, someone sensible with move in with the sink.

This paper is a hard one for me because it’s the perfect example of why people don’t take this kind of research seriously. It’s polemic dressed up as academic insight.

I was genuinely gutted about what happened to Xitter. As you know, my doctoral thesis was all about my identity formation via that platform. I genuinely believed it could revolutionise CPD.
To leave was hard, and I still have my account there.

This is the guy who also, if memory serves, made up lesbian fantasy stories about two female EduTweachers who had dared to challenge him on something, which he then shared online and possibly used as model pieces in his classes.

In popular discourse, the world was once good, people were virtuous, and all things were beautiful. Then modernity came along and destroyed everything. In this view, beauty is an objective standard that has been corrupted by liberalism.

This is because the idea of male beauty was shaped by socio-economic class. Visible muscle mass suggested you were a lowly field hand or navvy (a canal worker). A "gentleman," in the socio-economic sense, did not labor. He *pondered.* This was a romantic, intellectual figure.

I still get the urge to face up the shelves in similar stores.

Strangely, I know what you mean. Ah, the blue Oxford weave. Mind you, I quite liked it when we moved to polo shirts. I think we might still have the Aristocats one somewhere ...
