Re: Post something you've learnt today
Anyone with even remotely left politics on here has never arrived at a decision unless they've read it in a meme, on Google, on Wiki, or on a video.
Everyone in 'the clique' comes to their conclusions completely of their own accord- indeed they appear to be instant experts on everything without having read a single word on the subject. They just know and everyone else doesn't.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Wikipedia wrote:Sue Kerr Hicks (December 12, 1895 – June 17, 1980) was an American jurist who practiced law and served as a circuit court judge in the state of Tennessee. He is best known for his role as a co-instigator and prosecutor in the 1925 trial of John T. Scopes, a Dayton, Tennessee teacher accused of teaching the Theory of Evolution in violation of Tennessee state law. Hicks may have also been the inspiration for the Shel Silverstein song "A Boy Named Sue," which was popularized by country music performer Johnny Cash in 1969.
I had just been reading the entry on John Scopes and it mentioned that the prosecution team on his trial "included brothers Herbert Hicks and Sue K. Hicks" and I went huh?

I hadn't heard of her before, so I just looked up her Guardian articles.
'Thanks'

Wondering why I couldn’t read one of GB’s FB posts properly I realised that Coan has blocked me! But NOT my husband!

He unfriended me ages ago, but it’s only fair as I’m even more boring on FB than I am here!

Audrey Hepburn's working script for "Breakfast At Tiffany's" sold at auction last September for just under £630,000. Tiffany & Co were the buyers.

Glorious suburbia
A writer looks beyond its soulless reputation to argue that suburbia is where most of us come from; it’s the place we return to every night after work or where our parents still live; and it has spawned great literature

Re: Post something you've learnt today
That back when the original TV contracts were being draw up for the Premier League, the preferred option was for BBC to have Match Of The Day on Saturday evening, ITV to have a Sunday afternoon live package and Sky to have a Monday night live package.
ITV turned that down, demanding exclusivity or nothing. They got nothing.
Another in the list of 'bone headed corporate decisions'.

I already knew that a large number of WW1 soldiers never fired their weapons out of human decency, that we are not programmed to kill one another. What I learned however was an example of early American brainwashing where the new medium of film suddenly introduced frequently shooting each other without much provocation. Bang bang!

Since earlier this year Dave Balfe is a Labour councillor in Adur - West Sussex.
I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.
