"what would you think to be thus used"

I heard Sir Ian do that on Marc Maron years ago so it was brilliant to see him do it in full flight. I found it really emotional

I found it very moving too. I hope it lands with some of my favourite elders... who might listen to Will S rather than the Rt Hon member for Clacton etc

I got goosebumps the second he stood up in anticipation of what Sir Ian was about to do and I felt a big, tight lump in my throat when he started performing Shakespeare... Thank you so much for this share, wow...

I have been feeling guilty the past few weeks for not taking the time to read 'my' ten things. I turned the guilt into anticipation and looking forward to reading all the missed editions all in once. I started with yesterday's edition and this clip is the first thing I clicked. What a treat. A nurture to the soul.

Bang, right through the bones. And that's what I have been missing out on.

So here's a little message of gratitude Matt, for all that you share.

Also I have been trying to (do some) work while completely getting obsessed by the four part series of Jeanne D'arc on the brilliant 'The Rest Is History'. Another of your great recommendations.

Matt, if you haven't done so yet, please go see Hamnet in the theater (but not in France of course).

NB: it may seem like a random recommendation but in the way my mind works there's a logic somewhere.

That Guardian article was a great read!

Thanks for sharing the link to my research at Leeds Beckett Matt. I am very much open to hearing what people make of the ideas. I think you are right to question what we mean when we talk about 'core values' to consider what that then might mean for ethical considerations. The research helped me to uderstand the link between what we call stoke and notions of responsibility and what might lie underneath a broad view of sustainability for people and planet in relation to action sports values and experiences.
