Long shot but does anyone have the link to the video of the teacher using a visualiser whilst stood up? It went β€˜viral’ a while back. Think it was a science lesson?

.@AldiUK lucky escape from choking on plastic today. Easter lunch was nearly a trip to A&E after my partner nearly ate a disc of plastic in his dessert.

I would simply love an explanation… @ScottishPower @MartinSLewis @BBCWatchdog @ofgem Worth pointing out my balance hasn’t dropped below Β£900 credit in the last three years…

Woke myself up about half an hour ago dreaming about Julie Etchingham announcing that @GreggsOfficial was on the brink of collapsing into administration. It was so real I’ve had to check online. How does my mind even work…

How anyone at @hubhotels expects you to be able to sleep with THIS as the soundtrack to your night is beyond me! Not a hope in hell of me getting any sleep tonight

I’m just starting out on learning #BSL - when you’re watching someone do the signs to copy them, do you match their hand or is it already flipped in the videos? Example below. Would I sign this using my right hand as she does, or is it already mirrored so I copy the side?

Is this a joke @ScottishPower? If we’re paying you so much that you can afford to do this, maybe just lower everybody’s bills a little and scrap this ludicrous lottery. When you keep putting my bill up despite being Β£1k in credit, this seems like the most ridiculous idea ever!

Pretty pleased on my summer refurb project! First pic is after we just moved in as I forgot to take a proper β€˜before’ πŸ™„. Few more finishing touches to add, but not sure on the new bedding and possible new curtains. Thoughts?

Does anyone else reach some sort of critical mass when doing something strenuous, meaning you go from πŸ˜– to this ⬇️ almost instantly and then there’s no way back. Absolutely withered here…

Pleased with my little office after a reshuffle of spaces at work.

Geordie classic in the garden. Is there anything better than a ham and pease pudding stottie? #sundayvibes

Newcastle has united in opposition of fascism, racism, islamophobia and bigotry. The far-right are nowhere to be seen!

Absolute first world problems but @marksandspencer have stopped selling the work trousers I’ve been wearing for the last 5 years. Cannot seem to find an equivalent 😭😭😭😭 #BackToSchool

This #Tory election broadcast is revolting. Don’t vote #Labour because they’ll give the vote to EU nationals. You mean the ones who have lived here for years, pay taxes, and are as much part of society as I am? How has this become acceptable political discourse?! #GeneralElection
