@ruskin147 So sorry to hear that Rory.

We have some very sad news. We’ve had to say goodbye to our much loved Collie cross Cabbage. For 14 years she was a lovely , energetic and really smart member of our family. It was time for her to go but we miss her so much.

The story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s imprisonment. In 9 minutes. Thanks to everyone who’s watched and shared this.

@marcusa @strategistmag @bbcdoctorwho mine too, 20 and 18

@strategistmag @bbcdoctorwho Thought it was just me getting old, but both my children (aged 21 and 17) watch TV with subtitles on so they can hear what people are saying

Please could the makers of #DoctorWho sack the #sound team and change their longstanding policy of 'shouting barely audible gibberish above relentless and pointless cacophony' to 'audible dialogue that doesn't need subtitles'? The sound mix is AWFUL. Thanks. @bbcdoctorwho

@ruskin147 Rory thanks for all the brilliant insights and reports I will miss you.

Finally checking out of the BBC with a photo taken by a great cameraman and friend Neil Drake. It's been an honour and a privilege to work for 40 years for an organisation whose mission is more important than ever, with some of the most talented people you can imagine

@benjiebeetle You have it all wrong. Try barking at yourself.

I am trying to raise my enthusiasm for today by talking to myself loudly in a Northern accent. For some reason it’s not working.

Useful read for those grappling with thia issue adage.com/article/EY/4-k…
