Apparently 13 years ago today since @PeterAlanRoss interviewed me about Whitby Goth Weekend. Long time since we've been now - about 7 years I think... I'm not doing an interview about @BANGFACE! Sorry Peter!

Did I really hear @EMFTheBand name check @FourTet last night at their gig? Didn't expect my last two gigs to collide like that!

Going to see this lot tomorrow at @O2RitzManc. Would love to see them at Butlins Skegness - bit different from the last lot of bands I saw there!

Off to the @WHP_Mcr today to see @FourTet and this is definitely going to be my "getting ready" soundtrack!

I know people are leaving Twitter, but the algorithms also seem to be mysteriously (or not so mysteriously) working against some of us. I know that some followers of mine have somehow automatically unfollowed me (without them doing that), and that my posts are hidden or buried. I like sharing science, archaeology and a bit of humanism here. I still enjoy the conversation. So if you can help me find my old followers again by RTing, I will follow you back.

@dmonbeer Evening from Manchester #aurora #aurorauk

@razzledazzlegem Oh no! Nope I didn't attempt it.

@Machar I got to the front and even if I had wanted to buy the “in demand” tickets, it wouldn’t have let me! Did you try?

What a joke trying to get Oasis tickets 😒

@razzledazzlegem Still there?

@Machar In a queue on my laptop - currently 53k people in front of me so I’m gonna be here all day 😄 was in a queue on my phone but got booted out cos it thought I was a bot! Would have rather camped out overnight for tickets 😄

@UtahSaints I was there. The whole gig was just mind blowing - trabants as spotlights, helicopters, giant screens iirc. Some gigs just stay with you and that was one of them!

@Mozgirl71 @tbaucells @SoVeryBritish I still remember the TV adverts!

@tbaucells @SoVeryBritish It's pretty niche 🤦 what's it called...Cumbernauld!

What call and response could you use to identify a British person hiding in a crowd? For instance, shouting “oggy oggy oggy” would force any true Brit to reply, “oi oi oi!” They just wouldn’t be able to resist it.

Prof Robert Langer speaking here was one of the Women’s Health Initiative study investigators - this study was misreported in both the medical press and media by a small group of the investigators (not him). These people had their own agenda but it is still unclear why they did this. This misreporting has lead to over two decades of unnecessary fear about HRT resulting in women needlessly suffering with both symptoms and health risks of not taking HRT. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/my-…

@razzledazzlegem Good grief that's shocking! My friends in Hulme and Chorlton could hear it but nothing over here...

What a waste of two hours. Sound was absolute garbage - the first support sounded louder than the Foos! Left early as it wasn’t improving - what a waste of time and money.

gofundme.com/dalryfriends Legal update: I am currently waiting for the court to set a date for the proof hearing. Legal fees: Unfortunately, I am behind on legal fees. The exact amount is unclear as it is spread across several invoices, but it totals several thousand pounds. To maintain my mental health, I have avoided calculating the precise total. Donations: It is very difficult to to keep asking for more donations. I want to assure everyone that I am also contributing to this fight. I have donated my Adult Disability Allowance for this month to the GoFundMe campaign and will continue to do so monthly if possible. Thank you all for your continued support.

@UtahSaints @thetradesclub @beardedtheory Thank you for such an amazing set!

@Machar @thetradesclub @beardedtheory 🙏 Thank you for coming :), such a great atmosphere

15 gigs so far this year and @UtahSaints at @thetradesclub was the best yet. Absolutely amazing, ended up in the front row for most of it and danced like a loon. Can't wait to see them again @beardedtheory!

Oh no! Help a @Marvel fan get his wedding ring back! #Manchester what can you do?!

My favourite thing from a Scottish chippy.
