Strawberry, vanilla, and lemon. It's a baked Alaska (beer) in a glass. Lovely. Well done #yonderbrewing #BskyBeer

“If British music is one of the most powerful exports we have, why have you treated it like an after thought for so many years?" — Myles Smith at the #BRITs The line about grassroots venues was spot on!

For the third game in a row, I've made a flask of coffee and left it in the kitchen 😔. #Grassrootslife

"The back of the winter is broken And light lingers long by the door The seeds of the summer have spoken In gowans that bloom on the shore" - Karine Polwart #SpringisHere youtu.be/k1xK_jCrpdc?...

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

This was a set-up. Trump invited Zelensky to the White House purely to humiliate him in front of the press. This treatment of him is reprehensible.

@arseblog.com Evening. Did you know your website seems to have crashed?

Where's the hyphen, @richardtutt.bsky.social?

People who love their jobs: What do you do? And why do you love it?

This evening #BskyBeer from me is a hazy pale ale from Left Handed Giant in Bristol. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xaam...

Every year, thousands of people apply for apprenticeships. The problem? There aren’t enough vacancies. That’s not an "awareness" issue; it’s a hiring issue. Businesses are leaving money on the table by overlooking one of the most effective ways to attract ready-to-learn, company-first talent.

Word of the day, for the umpteenth time, is ‘apricate’, the sister of ‘apricity’. It means to bask in the warmth of the sun, especially on a chilly day.

I'm on the hunt for a great sit-stand desk and need your help please. 🙏 If you’ve found one you love, I’d really appreciate your recommendations! Let me know what’s working for you. Thanks in advance! 🙏

After watching Captain America: Brave New World, you get a sense that Marvel has stopped trying.

Embracing DEI isn't just the right thing to do - it's essential for innovation, growth, and success. I hope those orgs who are making the short-sighted decision to bin their DEI policies, learn the pain of this lesson.

Forget a striker, #Arsenal clearly need to buy another left back. If something happens to MLS, we would only have Calafiori, Tierney, Zinchenko and Kiwior

On this #ValentinesDay, as #NAW2025 draws to a close, here’s to apprentices taking bold steps, mentors guiding them, and teams nurturing talent. The best match? Potential + opportunity. #CareerLoveStory #NationalApprenticeshipWeek

There needs to be a more flexible apprenticeship funding model that allows SMEs to access unspent Levy funds more easily. And simplified application processes, less bureaucracy, and incentives for SMEs to take on apprentices. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW25 www.eca.co.uk/news/2025/fe...

Businesses need to be more proactive in recruiting apprentices from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and the government needs to give Skills England a duty to consider social mobility when allocating apprenticeships. #NAW25 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek www.co-operative.coop/media/news-r...

According to CMI research, investing in apprentices isn’t just a smart move - it directly boosts business performance. For every apprentice: ✅ Level 7: +£36,700 to business turnover ✅ Level 6: +£18,300 ✅ Level 5: +£14,600 ✅ Level 3: +£13,400 That is real, measurable impact.

“More learners can qualify in high-demand sectors such as healthcare, social care and construction”. This could mean “as many as 10,000 more apprentices per year will be able to complete their apprenticeship”. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2025 #SkillsforLife feweek.co.uk/english-and-...

"My apprenticeship has had a hugely positive impact on me. I’ve grown both professionally and personally, and despite initially feeling apprehensive about starting a new career at 33, it has proven to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made." #NAW2025 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek

"I think apprenticeships are more valuable than most people think. I have a Masters and can't find a job due to lack of experience, while my housemate did an apprenticeship and is in a good job. All but 1 of my uni friends have struggled to find work after completing their degree." #NAW2025

"I'm 19 and making the same or more than what most uni students will make in their first job out of uni. Plus I have far more valuable experience and knowledge. So, I like apprenticeships and think they offer far more value than going to uni" Apprenticeships are for life, not just #NAW2025

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

I can't believe it's been 9 years this week since the launch party for my book "New Business, Next Steps" at the amazing 140-year-old Heffers Bookshop in Cambridge. And what an amazing night it was too. #BookSky

So easyJet runs a Fear of Flying course which involves an hour's flight too. Is this a common thing that other airlines run too? It's not cheap but what a great idea. www.fearlessflyer.easyjet.com?easyjetstaff...

Could the Ollie Watkins move still be on? 1. Villa is chasing Rashford and another striker 2. Watkins is a life long Arsenal fan 3. He's injured, so will fit right in.

Tonight's line up. #bskybeer

Anyone know whose face is on this can? #beersky

I don't usually share music on here, but when I hear an artist who grabs hold of my attention - like Bella Gate here - then I feel compelled to. I'd love to know what you think:

@drinksmaven.bsky.social Thanks for following and It's great to meet you. What's your favourite style of beer?

The @bbc5live.bsky.social conversation on the anniversary of Brexit was vacuous on both sides. How can the crux of the remain side be that since leaving we don't like ourselves? How can the argument of leave still be that we have our sovereignty back. Political debate remains in the gutter.

I always wanted my own radio show and, 6 years ago this week, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire gave me that chance with a show that allowed me to explore all angles of #grassrootsfootball. In this clip, I chat with a (then) 16yo referee about the joy & challenges of officiating grassroots football matches.

This National League table makes for happy reading. 🐝🐝🐝 #BarnetFC

I chose to learn BSL because I wanted to learn another language. The problem is that I don't know anyone else who knows it, which makes practicing a conversation difficult. Any suggestions please?
