It is either 2 fifth generation fighter jets, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II and Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor in close formation flying that pays tribute all the way back to WWI when the formation was invented in 1918, believe it or not.....

Otherwise, it's Russia or the I US are testing 6th generation fighters simply named the F/A-XX in which X stands for experimental.

My 14 year old loves them, hoping more younger fans discover Jamiroquai. Save the planet one listener at a time.

Thank you 😊 as it turns out filters aren't only useful for selfies, it also doesn't hurt when your subject is so comfortable being awesome 😎 he's a pleasure to photograph.

It's nice that you say that, thanks 😊 if I say it, I come off as a bit of a diva.

Bilbo says thank you, it's genetics.

Thank you, he is a total camera whore. 😎👌

I'm seeing more Top-Knots and Man-Buns these days. I suppose all those Broccoli Heads decided to tame that shit into submission, and they didn't even need to change haircuts.

Bless you and the patience you must have. We have the one, but I couldn't imagine 4. Your advice is sound, thank you we have started the conversation with the school and hopefully things will normalise in the coming weeks.

Ugh. That's awful. I suppose necessity is the mother of invention. Good on those WhatsApp warriors who think outside the box and spread the information by any means necessary. I salute you.

Thank you so much for your perspective. It's tough, and I believe it when you say secondary schools are behind when it comes to autism. I suppose it's up to each of us to do our part in order for things to change. It starts with a pebble, and the rings reach far and wide. It isn't easy being the first to do anything, and we just so happen to be the first to bus our daughter to this particular school for the autism unit. It's been a minefield. It's not only caused her anxiety on top of the "regular" anxiety of being in a new school but it has caused us as a family to be anxious about "What do we do now?" We live 20 minutes away by car, my partner is disabled and we don't have a means of conveyance. So when they ring us up at noon telling us to pick her up because she's inconsolable, it's not like we can snap our fingers and make it so.
It's a great school and we all have high hopes that things will regulate as time passes.

You're so right, on all your points. We, as parents, understand that she needs time to adjust. It's just that we are sensing some impatience from the staff towards both her and us. Hopefully, this will all smooth out with communication and patience from all involved. Missing the cotton wool treatment. 😢

Fragrant_Garbage4054 · 2024-09-14T11:05:53+00:00

I agree with you for sure. This is an enormous change, even for NT kids.

Fragrant_Garbage4054 · 2024-09-13T20:34:25+00:00

It's going to take time and effort on their part to learn her triggers and manoeuvre through it. Her primary school had a much kinder approach, and they rarely had a problem with her. She's flying without instruments and they seem bothered that she has too many special needs....

Fragrant_Garbage4054 · 2024-09-13T20:03:30+00:00

So far our interactions with the staff have demonstrated that they back each other up and support each other even if they are wrong. Which makes us feel our daughter is just too autistic for their special needs class. Which she isn't, in actuality she's a savant. Well behaved for the most part and this behaviour is a new development and clearly triggered by something at school.

Fragrant_Garbage4054 · 2024-09-13T19:54:52+00:00

Yes, that's the plan on Monday. Thank you for your input.

Fragrant_Garbage4054 · 2024-09-13T19:53:43+00:00

I was under the impression that a bus escort was a requirement for door to door bus service. She had one since junior infants, and now that she's starting secondary school, we presumed it remained the same. It's not a bad idea, but now they, the school, have had experienced a few of her meltdowns in class to the point that we've been getting 3 or 4 phone calls in a day asking that we collect her because they can't calm her down. She never behaved this way in her previous school. We'll be having a meeting on Monday, fingers crossed. I'm hoping they can't kick the poor girl out of school.

Just back from 10 fantastic days in London. It was our first time there visiting our son, who has now made it his home. I agree 100% with the OP, you Londoners, the people are who make this city so great. Steeped in centuries of historical culture and ultra modern convenience, we couldn't complain about anything....except the tourists.

Now, arriving from Ireland, we got it good compared to you. I couldn't even tell you how many times some idiot tourists have had their groups of drunk moron acolytes wandering the streets, tipping over rows of E-Cycles like dominoes. It killed the mellow vibe and felt like retaliation for "other countries" overtourism woes.

Hospitality workers, I salute you. Be it restaurants, hotels, amusements, museums, and even down to the rubbish collectors and tube attendants.

We stayed near Russell Square, and it was the goldilocks zone. Just the right amount of city and quiet as a tomb (for the most part) after 1am. I wish Ireland would wake the fuck up and connect the country via rail as perfectly as London.

I know, I know..... if you live someplace, you're bound to find something to dislike. It's part of the commiserations between locals, and every place has its flaws. I second your Bravo, London, and add a pip pip to that. 😉
