47: What are cocktails like in Leeds?
They are like this: Some of those are non-alcoholic (I don’t drink) but still lovely!

46: How do you get through your fear of the dentist?
I don’t know. Somehow I managed it. The last two dentists I’ve seen have been brilliant. It’s just a shame that there appears to be such a high turnover of dental professionals at my tooth based place. Anyway, today’s was a delight. She was calm, patient, understood my fears and got me through it. However, […]

44: What do you do when you want to go somewhere but are not quite ready?
You make a plan to go there tomorrow. That’s all I have done this evening. I have also watched two episodes of You, Me And The Apocalypse from Sky back in the day which has been on our Sky+ box for ages… so far, I really like it. Mrs Pitts isn’t too fussed. We also […]

43: Why not write on walls?
Yesterday I posted the OK Go optical illusion fest that is their video for The Writing’s On The Wall. Today, I read an article on how it has recently been discovered that Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins wrote on the walls of their Apollo 13 command module to help them during their flight.

42: When did OK Go make a video that wasn’t awesome?
OK Go, one of my favourite bands, are well known for releasing videos that are simply stunning. Their latest was released today, but before I share their weightless Upside Down & Inside Out film, I want to share their wonderful video for The Writing’s On The Wall – if you’re a fan of an optical […]

41: Why Doesn’t The Leaning Tower Of Pisa Fall Over?
Whether they’re small houses or tall skyscrapers, the buildings we live in have nice straight walls to hold up our ceilings. The Leaning Tower Of Pisa took 199 years to build, starting in 1173, but stood straight for only the first 5 years. As soon as they added the 3rd story, it started tilting. The […]

40: When did food become art?
It’s pancake day in the UK and there is a trend emerging to attempt to turn food into art. Sometimes it works well: Sometimes, not so much: I don’t think I like it. It’s unnecessary.

39: What do you call a cat at a train station?
Apart from Felix, which is its name, of course? Well, Felix, is the official pest control manager at nearby Huddersfield train station. Such a job title deserves a high-visibility vest, AND a name badge. It’s a good job she has one then. She helps with customer enquiries. And has her very own cat flap. You […]

38: Why does bacon come in rashers, but nothing else does?
I’ve been busy working all day preparing for two observed lessons and trying to come up with 6 different e-safety plans that, ideally, don’t just involve making posters. I think I’ve done that and I think I’m ready for my head to come and watch me teach. I feel like I am prepared – with […]
