I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

@exitthelemming @TheRSC I’m so excited about getting the chance to see this again. It was truly exceptional in Stratford back in cold January.

Full cast announced for @TheRSC’s TWELFTH NIGHT at the Barbican. Panto season: 8 December 2025 to 17 January 2026. Nineteen of the original twenty cast return. Daniel Monks joins us westendtheatre.com/321541/news/fu…

@exitthelemming Dear Sam, sending our condolences to you and all your family at this sad time from us all. X

Having a German football manager is "a dark day for England", according to the Daily Mail. In other news, here's the Mail's founder, Lord Rothermere (great-grandfather of the current owner) with a German friend.

@MrTimDunn @SeatonTramway @BirkTramLive @MiniRailMuseum @CCLRsteamtrains I sense a project coming on @rhdr!!!

Super, thank you! I had assumed it’d be displayed in the terminus. While you’re here btw, Years ago I curated @MiniRailMuseum’s exhibition on seaside miniature railways, at @CCLRsteamtrains: images of 23 etc featured. I know you’ve barely had time to take delivery of it, but if you guys were invited to galas of some of the remaining 15” lines, it’d make a smashing ambassador for seaton and be a right crowd puller, with necessary(?) battery wagon in tow... I think @CCLRsteamtrains would love to have 23 (and you with it!) there as a visitor. And wouldn’t it be lovely to drive it round the Dungeness loop on @RHDR? (I think overbridge clearances are a little tricky beyond @goddent83..) and it’d go down a storm at @HaighRailway, Thorpe Light Rly, Statfold, @rersteam , Saltburn etc etc… 🤩

Miniature tram news! (Possibly) the world’s smallest (& def one of my faves) passenger-carrying double-decker tram, №23 (15”g, b.1949, restored by the late Denis Butler) is to be displayed at @seatontramway until Nov. Rarely been seen since 1957. LOVELY. tram.co.uk/news/view/seat…

@MercedesAMGF1 @F1 it’s 100 years this year (19th October) when Count Louis Zborowski died Lesmo at Monza.

Please vote.

@paulmoss0447 Thanks enormously!

@goddent83 Of course not, help yourself. Couple of others

What an amazing show from James at the O2. Why use the stage when you can be in the crowd

@KentishHack Bloody hell… I think you’ve hit a ripe seam here for 40-something year old blokes!!

@Se_Railway Thanks. 🙏🏼

@goddent83 Hi Tim . I understand the frustration . Currently the duration is between 22/4/24-28/6/24 . For more information regarding this please see here : southeasternrailway.co.uk/travel-informa…^TB

@Se_Railway can you confirm why you are degrading the service from Folkestone West so significantly ?

@Se_Railway Thank you for the explanation, but this is very frustrating. What is the duration of these changes?

@goddent83 Hi Tim . Network Rail monitoring equipment has detected ground movement affecting the line between Dover Priory and Folkestone.Southeastern have made some limited service changes to provide you with a reliable and robust train service while Network Rail assess the work needed ^TB

@HGSSport Thanks so much for what you’ve done with them. As you say, the trip of a lifetime

SKI Another amazing tour where lifetime memories were made. As always, the students were a credit to themselves, the school & their families. Enjoy the rest of your break. Parents, tag you’re it! ⚪️⚫️🔴🎿

@aquilanebula Oh Christian, I’m so very sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and all of your family. What a lovely picture

@rhdrpgb Awesome video! Thanks for sharing it.

Proof that dead projects do get finished in the end!

@JonPountney1 I’m sat with a copy, more than happy to send it if you want to DM me an address.

Does anyone have today's Guardian? Would love a copy of this

@ChrisHunneysett You should pop around for a jam sometime Chris!
