I’ve spent the last week strolling around Pompeii and Oplontis dreaming about what life was like for a 1st century Roman and I found the @BBCRadio4 podcast #BeingRoman a perfect accompaniment, @wmarybeard is the best travelling companion.

@TheDoctorBob It's the relentless reorganisations that keep us sharp. Apparently.

Today I have been working for the BBC for 45 years. What better way to start the day than with a meeting about another management reorganisation?

One of the great Barrowlands gigs. Tough to lose John Byrne in the same week as Shane. Both looked at the world with a combination of emotional intensity and dark humour. Very Glasgow.
Lost Glasgow@LostGlasgow
With Shane MacGowan gone to the great pub in the sky, it's worth remembering that Glasgow was the first city in the world to hear him duet live with the normally stage-shy Kirsty MacColl on Fairytale of New York.

(S)he's not in a good way. We interviewed the brilliant willow artist Serena de la Hey for @BBCR4OC when she was weaving it and it's been an elegant waymarker on trips to Cornwall. Now hemmed in by bland estate and hideous warehouses. I'd love to see him repaired and elevated.
BBC Somerset@bbcsomerset
What do you think should happen to the Willow Man? He could be repaired or rebuilt and even moved somewhere else. @SomersetCouncil has been given a grant to work out what to do with him and wants your views.

Chris Packham@ChrisGPackham
The brilliant @vizcomic Christmas edition is out now ! On page 14 their super savvy investigative journalists ‘axe’ ‘Who Felled the Tree at Sycamore Gap’ and I am named as one of three suspects . What’s worrying is that they make a few good biological points !
