Agreed and with your 'rant' (BTW admin could we have a 'special' font for /RANT please?).

I started in 2009 and I was blown away quite honestly with the materials and the F2F tutorials. Then they started downgrading everything including content. They took away the level 3 Latin course which...

When I did a few years back 2017-2019 you needed a 2:1 or above.

A little bit related, found out today the apprentice I was mentoring has got a first! And the real life project she (we) did got a distinction, and I haven't even got a degree in software!

I had COVID back in May, vaccines saved me as it never went to my chest, just stayed in my head , temp of 39.9. Kanackered transplant by 5 % function. I had...

Did you know that until his 'Inferno' there was no real homogenous view of what hell was, before it was just not being with god in heaven. All the visual depictions of hell post date Dante. Yet as he acknowledges in the poem he was guided by Virgil and his passage from the Aeneid where Aeneas is guided...

Really? You can't divorce the two once you go back further than the camera. The thing about studying the far past is it's less controversial politically and religiously, but the human part of the events is very similar and can be explored more objectively.

The Gracchi are great examples...

This is what happens when centrist elites don't actually address people's concerns and the right/left seem to have the 'answers', but they don't!...

I'm not so sure these days. In my youth (1980s) in Pontefract, Donny was for an easy lay whilst Wakey was a bit hit or miss with a bit of posh. I left at 16, but used to go back to go out with old mates.

Having been dragged to Wakey recently it is a dump with piss swamped doorways and groups...

I don't agree, the key point is how people will vote come the next election. Most people I've spoke to around here (south Leeds to Pontefract) just won't forgive outright lies, no matter how trivial the offence seems. Boris was/is popular because he give the aura of not been one of the smug elite, then...

That isn't what was reported in The Sunday Times yesterday where the majority of those those reported as defecting from Con to Lab in the Wakefield by-election cited the parties and lies as the primary reason.

20-30 votes is not enough to maintain authority, ask Teresa....

As long as I get there, ain't too fussed about been stuck in Rome (although be taking a couple of weeks immunosuppression stuff). Plan B in case return cancelled is to slow train it back up the Rhine visiting the old Roman outposts...

The usual Rome, on Thursday! Can't wait, got an aparthotel with a pool that we used to use quite often in summer. Also been 2.5 years so the museums have all got different special exhibitions to visit. Really looking forward to the Late Republic one at the Capitoline.
