Having lost to the Plumstead Potting Machine myself fairly recently, I can say that he is a rather more gracious victor than this might imply ... still flipping hilarious from @Jimllpaintit though!!!

Old joke about a new VC shared on our committee list: On his first day in office, he finds a letter on his desk from his predecessor and three numbered envelopes. The letter says, 'You will encounter crises in this job. When they arrive, open these letters in turn'
If the @Lionesses need a backup keeper for tomorrow ... looks like we've found a contender!
After 5 years, I'm stepping down as a @Bristol_UCU Branch Officer - hopefully, I've helped a few people along the way, tried to save a few jobs and spent too flipping long assembling the bloody banner! Here's a few memories ...
... but there's more to union work than strikes - there's conferences, voting and having the office to yourself in the midst of COVID!
... anyway, time for a new team to take over - I hope all my fellow @Bristol_UCU members will do all they can to help or even better, get involved themselves - there's still a lot of work to do and the more people who help out, the easier it will be.
Got my morning reading sorted - apparently there's something going on today ... #Coronation
Might be a bit of a challenge being a video game voice actor in the world of AI / Chat GPT youtu.be/d6sVWEu9HWU or is this just Skyrim being repurposed for the 300th time? Impressed / scared at the same time!
Jon Stewart and Ian Hislop in conversation about satire in the age of Murdoch and Trump youtu.be/pbOiXmMnyw4 worth 45 mins of your time.
I'm tired, still wet & probably going to get a cold after a day on the @Bristol_UCU picket lines, but I don't care! It was great to catch up with old friends & make new ones in our union & @unison_bristol - would be even nicer to have a real pay rise & fair pensions! #ucuRISING
Probably won't be watching much of the #worldcup but glad I discovered the song adopted by the Welsh national team Yma o Hyd / We're still here youtu.be/43Fag8ZQcz4
