Two director chairs, clearly sold as a paid, @charlesbentley — and yet there are two sets of instructions in two plastic bags, and two Allen keys.
Thanks to everyone who messaged about my brief appearance on #hignfy last night. Always wanted to be introduced by @XanderArmstrong (still available for a newsreaders edition of #pointless, Xander!) Should say I knew nothing about this at the time, and there has been an apology.
Thank you to my friend @AndyGriffee for an advance copy of his latest canal-based crime novel, Tulip Murders. It’s set in Amsterdam, has a body count off the scale, and is a rollicking good read. And it’s out today on Amazon.
Country music singer Davis wants to combat negativity. Online piece to go alongside my Happy Pod interview with @JordanCWDavis bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…
Great to speak to @JordanCWDavis about his song Good News Sold for the @bbcworldservice Happy Pod. Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct5h…
Quite what this glittery tennis ball trophy was doing outside the @bbcradio2 news studio I have no idea. But I’ve claimed it as our latest decorative addition. @OwainWynEvans
Absolutely shocked and saddened at the loss of Steve Wright. To anyone to worked in radio, he was radio. He worked incredibly hard to make his craft sound effortless. Getting to work with him was a privilege, as was being given a Wrighty nickname. A radio legend.
Fantastic to meet you too!
Great to meet the faces behind the news @BBCRadio2 this morning @adam1uk and @ClareNews2 #shoesbehindthenews

A particular joy of reading the news on Radio 2 was doing the summary in the middle of Len’s show — and being able to say at the end ‘BBC News at 3 minutes past six, our next at seven’. bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…
