Radiohead - The Headmaster Ritual Song by The Smiths Written as a critique of British education and corporal punishment, “The Headmaster Ritual” features a jangling guitar line with inspirations as diverse as the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, and MC5. The song attracted attention and controversy in the UK for its lyric. The song has drawn critical acclaim for Morrissey’s vocals and lyricism as well as for Marr’s guitar.

Outrageous • MPs’ Menu in Parliament: “Pressed duck leg and caper terrine with celeriac & mustard remoulade & sour dough toast” — Cost: £4.52 (subsidised by you). • NHS Staff Menu in Hospital: “Macaroni Cheese” — Cost: £7.25 (paid by NHS nurses).

Seeking inspirational male speakers for our Inspire Programme to talk to the boys about an interesting job / life / adventure they’ve been on / something they’ve overcome etc, which can inspire the boys. interested in hearing from men who have grown up without a father themself.

Brilliant evening hearing from @theantonwright sharing his adventures with the lads on Inspire, namely his Guinness Book of Records achievement of rowing the Amazon. A natural, down to earth, inspiring man. The boys really enjoyed his company and we hope to see him again soon. 😁

Rowing the #Thames from Lechlade to Teddington was a 'healing experience' for @theantonwright as he describes in his blog below. The rhythm of rowing gives #bluemind benefits. Help more people to enjoy having fun on the River Thames @AHOYofficial justgiving.com/fundraising/p…

Horrible weather for #rowing today, but hopefully @theantonwright and Pat are taking shelter? @wallingfordrow @river_rowing may be interested in your adventure. Look out for the yellow Ocean-going rowing boat on the #Thames this week @AHOYofficial @JustinCMAdams @thamesmobo
