@PeterEgan6 Glad you like it and thanks again for your time. Merry Christmas!

A nice article in the Telegraph today. Peter Egan on Ever Decreasing Circles: ‘At first I didn’t like Paul, he was so smarmy’ telegraph.co.uk/tv/2025/12/24/…

@lennylaw @Archie_V That did cross my mind.

@JonPeake @Archie_V There’s also the possibility that it’s just ‘cos we’re getting old..

Listening to the new Max Martin recor...er I mean new Taylor Swift record. Nice, clean mixes - as usual - by Serban Ghenea but, let's face it, the vocals could have been slapped on top by absolutely anyone. *ducks from the inevitable incoming*

@lennylaw @Archie_V I can’t tell one male singer from another these days.

@Archie_V Hence my homogenisation comment. All the bloody same.

@nicolelampert What kind of world are we living in? Thoughts with you today.

Genocidal chants while our politicians mouth nothing more than platitudes.

#EELive Martin is far too lucid considering the seriousness of his injury.

Bitterly disappointing news about Pick Of The Pops.

Sad news about The Archers' June Spencer. I did an 'at home' with her about 30 years ago. It was snowing. We had coffee with a tot of whisky in it, and she cooked us spaghetti bolognese. A delightful hostess and proper old school star. #TheArchers

@TiggyWalker great to hear you both together again on the radio. Good with the final show and big thanks to @piratejw for everything.

We just finished #IndustryHBO . Really hope there’ll be more. Otto needs a spin-off at least.

@TiggyWalker @HorizontalsRich @piratejw @WhisperingBob @BBCRadio2 Terribly sad news . Hope keeps as well as he can. He’ll be sorely missed on the radio.

From one friend to another. Very sad to announce that ⁦@piratejw⁩ will be putting down his headphones on Sunday 27th October. But happy he’s handing SOT70’s to ⁦@WhisperingBob⁩. Another real radio man. We’ll miss the ⁦@BBCRadio2⁩ family and listeners #endofanera

@piratejw can’t believe this news, but it must have a tough decision to make. Thanks for everything Johnnie. The airwaves will be a dull void without you.

@BoyGeorge Hopefully no one.

Who knows where to get Durian fruit in London?

A story in Record Mirror from May 83, reported Yazoo and Blancmange had recorded a Motown classic together. True? And if so, does it exist anywhere @AlisonMoyet?

@DavidNWriter ‘Now’. Marnie would be appalled.

@DavidNWriter I read that and it was kind of familiar I know see. FYI I’m a year older than you!

@DavidNWriter Finished the latest. Another triumph. I’m gathering you’re from Eastleigh. I grew up in nearby Chandler’s Ford and I did a year at BP. Were you Toynbee? I was Thornden. Set something round there!

@kate_terence @DavidNWriter Too true, Walshy.

@WhenIsBirths Thanks for your detective work. A long-pondered question now answered.

Saw this ad in the Feb 16, 1985 issue of Record Mirror. Did it ever happen I wonder? Does anyone know? Could have been Live Aid...

@SteveDoherty1 @CounsellPeter @outonbluesix Then you must ask and let me know. I'm intrigued!

@CounsellPeter @JonPeake @outonbluesix I know Ian Turner. He’s a local councillor, now.
