happy "It's Christmas, and we're in Tartarus" day to all those who celebrate

Surprise, REALIS is almost here! ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near! kickstarter.com/projects/crum/…

On a serious note, this is a disgrace to the entire animation industry.

I had a brilliant time in Houston, and seeing my travel review makes me want to go back asap!

@geeharland Omg, congratulations! That's awesome!

Token journalist in a true crime documentary? Career goal unlocked ✅ This was a shocking case which took a lot of work from police and CPS to secure guilty verdicts. Give ‘Special Ops: To Catch A Criminal’ a watch on October 27 at 7pm on U&Dave.

Out now on the Hampshire Chronicle website is the biggest story I've ever done. It features interviews with half a dozen experts, campaigners and politicians about the impact that the work at Junction 9 will have on Winchester (I also made a TikTok explaining it). Give it a read:

Yoooooooo! Let's gooooooo!

I can't imagine doing anything else. Thank you, thank you, thank you. "Nothing has to be true forever. Just for long enough, to tell you the truth" - The Truth, Terry Pratchett

Today marks three years exactly since I started at Newsquest. I don't have anything profound or witty to say, except thank you to all of my amazing colleagues and our wonderful readers. You all make it worth it. I stumbled into this career accidentally, but now (1/2)

The latest edition of the Hampshire Chronicle is out NOW! Helch Market plans! Doctor Who! Marwell! School productions! Art exhibitions! Horses at the Watercress Festival! and much more inside! Buy it now! Excitement!!

Great stories in this week's Chronicle: Market traders upset over rent hikes, a new food hall being approved despite opposition, former pubs on sale, and more. And who's that handsome chap on the front page...? A full story on Hound of the Baskervilles in Cheriton (featuring me!)

It was ten years ago today, we lost Terry, still in our thoughts and very much missed.

The latest edition of the Chronicle is in shops now, with a front-page story about Winchester Prison written by me. Inside you'll also find another story about the prison, a church which has a new roof, plans for new homes in Cranbourne and more. A busy week!

The latest Hampshire Chronicle is out now and has everything; community theatre cheque handovers, e-bikes being crushed by police, and an update on the Hampshire Hedges scheme. Oh, and the latest news about the hospital too!

Happy Christmas everyone. Today's Chronicle out in the shops now. Lovely schools Nativity supplement; capacity crisis at RHCH; more golden retrievers than you've ever seen; cycle danger from vehicle fire; 140 stories

@Ley_Mude Hi Gary, my name is Chris and I am a reporter for the Basingstoke Gazette. Would it be possible for us to get a copy of this video, please?

@kezamacdonald Well, that was one of the quickest purchases I've made recently

Time to spill: a new video games periodical is launching today. It's called ON, and I have a feature in the first volume that I'm very proud of. It looks amazing AND contains fine words from some of the most experienced games writers around. Check it out: on.games

Today's Chronicle in the shops now. Mums' campaign against smartphones in schools; huge M3 scheme at Winnall starting soon; delays to Andover Road diversion through Kings Barton; in praise of the humble apple; solar farm approved; new uni student, aged 75. It's all here!

Joining the chorus mourning the passing of another major print publication. My age is no doubt showing, and I don’t care: digital doesn’t land and linger in my psyche in the same way. Total Film was brilliant, but as we know, that’s simply not enough these days. Sad news.
