@larakiara When I wasn’t down the rave up (TM Smash Hits) I was gazing at my shoes.

@RussellParsons Thank you Rusty Mix! A vintage year.

Blasting out the tunes this morning 🥳🙌🏻

@gideonspanier @Campaignmag Very well done. Congrats sir

Absolutely delighted to be voted editor of the year, business & finance by the British Society of Magazine Editors at the BSME Awards. Thank you to the brilliant and dedicated @Campaignmag team and everyone who supports us (and supports advertising and creativity!)

@larakiara Aw, that sucks. Huge fan of this song m.youtube.com/watch?v=cKdj2N… Lovely, melancholic tone in his vocals

RIP Mark Keds ☹️⭐️

@jdaykin @larakiara If there’s an 8-track cartridge, I’m on it

@larakiara @RussellParsons The latest Pop album I listened to came on Vinyl and Cassette.

This year I became a 43-year-old American dad, according to my #SpotifyWrapped

@jdaykin @larakiara Come on Jerry, it’s yer Tik Tok songs and that

@RussellParsons @larakiara Wow, what is social media pop??

@larakiara She goes to the source, man. Big Star all the way.

@RussellParsons Always had Audrey down as a big Teenage Fanclub fan.

@larakiara Have I done the Twitter wrong? Ok, here goes. I am clearly a record player guy.

@RussellParsons Share the page with the artists on it!!!

@larakiara @MarketingWeekEd Ha! Those cover lines are peak @Branwellcontent

Clearing out a drawer and found the cover the @MarketingWeekEd team made me when I left for pastures new

Two weeks to go! 🤯 Entries open on September 1. Each year, we celebrate the editors that make the British magazine industry as incredible as it is, and it feels like yesterday when we hosted the last BSME Awards at The Sheraton Grand. Have you started on your application yet? 🤞

Could we be entering a "healthier era" for marketing effectivness? I spoke to Peter Field, @BinetLes @TSB @avivaplc @DirectLine to find out what role effectiveness will play in the Covid recovery marketingweek.com/effectiveness-…

This has totally set me off. Destroyed, in a good way. Every igmony, embarrassment and idiot we have had to endure forgotten this evening thanks to one man and the team he built. Marcelo Bielsa, you are a giant x

Could a 'killer' ad slogan make your brand more famous? My latest @MarketingWeekEd column - bit.ly/2CvmHZQ

@PositivelyTMM That sounds like Leeds under Don Revie/Les Cocker. Who was your grandad Joe?

@RussellParsons Granddad used to play for Leeds with Jack Charlton. He told a story of being made to run up to top of stands & shout to each other to improve comms. Punchline was a thick Yorkshire accent & a thick Geordie accent couldn't be understood next to each other, let alone 100 yards away

‘Kin legend. RIP Jack

@MarkChoueke Bring VHS videos and you’ve got a deal. Hope you’re well.

@RussellParsons When lockdown is over I'd very much like to come over to your house, read old NMEs and listen to 45s. We wouldn't need to talk. I'd bring treats. Let me know.

When someone asks me in the future whether I used any extra time I had productively during the lockdown I can make the case. First up, I restarted my 7” single collection

@rkbake I got to explain to Audrey how Patsy Kensit was the Dove Cameron of her day so can chalk that off as history/music lesson. Hope you’re well.

@RussellParsons Not a total waste then

@vezre Which ones?

@RussellParsons I have two of those!
