Does anyone know if a chickpea will germinate in damp cotton wool? #Homeschooling2020

Has anyone got hold of/written down the text to the storytime feature on #facebookportal or know how to get the text on both screens? Plan to send to my mum so I can outsource parenting and she can correct my kid's reading while I guilt free enjoy peace and quiet in another room

Is there any substitute in the UK for frozen #ikea cinnamon buns? I can find nothing after scouring the internet and no, I absolutely cannot be arsed to bake from scratch.

My bad, realised i am in the wrong. In fact you CAN use #covid as an excuse for anything. My four year old told me just today she can't eat broccoli because, you know [very regretful face] covid might be on it. #COVIDexcuses

Around this time every year I remember that my husband was in his 30s before realising that Feliz Navidad is not a Christmas protest song about wanting to wish a political prisoner merry Christmas and the words are not "Release Navidad" and it makes me so happy

I have Sophie Ellis Bextor at the launch of Russia's KIT Finance in London 2009. It went under I think less than a year later? But I just tried to google this and all evidence of it existing seems to have been erased from the internet. Was it all some sort of weird EM dream?

Time mostly flies when you’re having mostly fun

Here is how the Nicki Minaj story was covered on CNC3 Television in Port of Spain, Trinidad. I assure you this is worth all 2:20 and it's probably better than any U.S. network covered the story

If Russia is kicked out of the indices - or the weighting dropped to zero- there will be massive forced selling of the existing non sanctioned debt into a market with no liquidity. And it looks increasingly like it's coming. globalcapital.com/article/29rvki…

Turns out that funky post sanctions clause the Russian sov added that makes some of their eurobonds payable in roubles means the cds might not get triggered in the event of their default. Story on GlobalCapital globalcapital.com/article/29s6u3…

The rouble is so screwed that paying bondholders in it is a punishment. But there's a problem with the plan to pay the only the "unfriendly" ones in this now deeply undesirable currency - it's an anonymous market. GlobalCapital globalcapital.com/article/29syo6…

Looking forward to seeing the new staffing of goldman sachs

Wish there was a Big Jet TV for Russian coupon payments. Oooooh it's coming into land - oh NO, the paying agent's bottled it! etc etc

Russian issuers are having problems getting Eurobond payments to locals. globalcapital.com/article/29veil…

Very fitting that they appear to have hired an extra with no genitalia for the barbie and ken movie.

What would happen if all the women running school summer fairs went into politics? They’re fucking dynamite and they know how to get shit done for no money, when no one wants to do it, no messing. Let’s quit our tombola-discussing whatsapp groups & sort out the country instead.

Citi's Saudi CEO is departing after only a year. GlobalCapital globalcapital.com/article/2amkz5…

EXACTLY. Pity esp the parents of kids born Apr 2020 who dealt with covid and newborns and just logged on to the gov website to find out that actually their "free" childcare doesn't start until Sept actually. That 5 months is about £6k in childcare. Hardly a negligible number.

Choir launches into you can leave your hat on. #coronation

Hoping for rabbits under there
