He's just made it into the school football team despite there being loads of academy players in there and him being partially sighted!!! Even better as he can't see sh1t in bright sun light, but he soldiered it and won through! So chuffed! really big mental health win apart from his love of footy.
(sorry!)
Very late addon edit so as not to bump this with a new reply: thanks so much for the support all - your good eggs. [Post edited 5 Mar 9:16]

"Significantly, the forthcoming chancellor put Donald Trump's America on a par with Russia - widely viewed here as a security threat to Europe more broadly. "We are under such massive pressure from two sides that my absolute priority now really is to create unity in Europe," Merz said."
"German voters worry about security in Europe - including the future of the 35,000 American soldiers stationed in Germany.
France and the UK are nuclear powers. Germany is not. Even its conventional military is woefully understaffed and underequipped (to the immense irritation of European partners), so Germany fears it's a soft target. |

I've held back as long as I could, but have no choice but to ask it write some copy for a website. The stuff it's doing is scarily impressive. I kind of regret finding out for myself now - terrifying.

Thread | question about non-teaching jobs in schools
at 13:36 11 Feb 2025
I've been watch Educating East London, and old channel 4 show about a particular school. I think I could do the job of go-between between kids in trouble and the teachers, but how on earth do you get into that line of work?

Right decision I would say - its stood long enough as a sad blot on the landscape - I don't think its healthy for group mental health to have kept it up for this long, let alone for ever more.
I hate to be disagree with some of the families, but can't help but wonder if this a rare time when the people involved aren't actually in the best position to decide whats best. Knock it down and put up a memorial. [Post edited 6 Feb 12:22]
