Stephen Curry

The “UK” is the clue 😉

So the 8th pope in my lifetime is #Pope Leo XIV. Interestingly Pope Leo XIII was the one that had most influence on my life’s activities! Hopefully this one will have the same impact as his namesake did in 1891. A champion for ordinary working people.

I always knew god ran the best dating agency! We popped into Cologne cathedral to say thanks/danke for the last four months 🙏

Plus the fact you’d be asking the wrong Stephen Curry who hasn’t a clue either!

Thanks for the compliment but ….Wrong account, if only his bank would make same error!

We’ll be posting live from the summit here in Sheffield, so follow along for updates! 👀

You are too kind I should be flattered but perhaps try Specsavers?….wrong Stephen Curry. 😏

If I get thousands of US NB A followers now you are going to get the blame! “UK” and my colour are clues. No one is trading me that’s for sure ‘ init’ 🙄

Anyone else old enough to remember this 1960s campaign? 😃

The University of Leeds has become the first Russell Group university to officially announce that it is quitting Elon Musk’s social media site X.

It will, however, be alive and well on Bluesky.

Sick of google AI Gemini. Followed all the instructions to turn it off in admin. To no avail. It’s like chewing gum on your shoe! Or Pop up ads! 🤬 In my 60s I know how to write an email or letter. I get it, there is a generation who can’t write, spell or use a phone as a phone! But seriously! FO!

Well those in the south who still imagine the north as a place of towns of Victorian dark satanic mills. What on earth gives you that impression? 🤷🏻 This was a misty #Todmorden #WestYorkshire last night.

Possible gift for my goddaughter. She's a great sense of humour. Seemed a comic way to say "you are special" But I reflected on the message as I listened to @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social
et al in parliament on
#domesticviolence
. Is it textualised slapstick or potentially normalising violence? 🤷‍♂️l

Friend just sent me this super pic. He just popped up on her handbag!
Hard to believe it was a quick snapshot. #Robin

Over to tutors for marking but my team of 3rd year students working on a booking system project for @riversidecentre.bsky.social have completed a helpful report with sensible recommendations. Always a pleasure to work with enterprise students on this module. @universityofleeds.bsky.social

As thousands desert Twitter, is this the end for Elon Musk’s X? It was once the world's online marketplace of ideas. But ever since the billionaire tycoon Elon Musk bought up Twitter and renamed it X - dissatisfied users have fled the site - especially after the U...

Most towns ring in the new year with fireworks. This year in the #CalderValley it was flood sirens in the early hours😟 #Todmorden #HebdenBridge

Bye 🙋🏼‍♂️ 2024: memorable?Three funerals and no weddings. 🤔 A different colour but yet another uninspiring government. Think I’ll park this one. 2025? 🫣

On the 6th day of Xmas….Despite having the #CavityWall insulation removed because it caused a massive damp problem, I’ve had to resort to getting at the residue left behind myself, still causing low level damp! 😡One bin bag full just from this 6ft section.

Just a reminder to us we live in a rural area too and these guys are a significant part of the economy and community. Great showcase for their industry. #Todmorden #HebdenBridge #CalderValley 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Was the other way around for me. I think I was included in a starter pack for scientists so am being followed by a 100+ science academics! 🙄 lol

Hmmm? 1kg of pork 435g of fat cut off. Visually it looked like about 15%. The birds will have great lunch today!

Thumbing through my old address book (old as in ‘Filofax’ remember those?) for a list of potential Christmas card recipients, is proving a bit depressing, as more each year have shuffled off this mortal coil. (*note to self: cherish those who are left with genuine and personal Xmas messages)

Oh god it’s started again! 😞 I thought leaving Twitter would leave behind all those lazy basketball fans who think there is only one Stephen Curry in the world. “UK” is one clue my profile is another. #Slamdunk (whatever that means)

Always inspiring to hear business ideas and discuss startup strategies with students and post grads @universityofleeds.bsky.social #LeedsUniBusinessSchool

How do we build more and better? What would it mean if communities were at the heart of the development system?
