Former Sports presenter on ITV Yorkshire. Ex-cricketer and footballer, retired due to crumbling body - golf's the only thing left. Views are my own.

@askryanair Trying to find out the status of our compensation claim for overnight flight delay. Berlin-Manchester 23/11/23. Booking ref QEY24N. Compensation ref 30135481 & 30135284. Not good enough to have to wait this long with no update at all.

@ITVX I’d like to say @ITVX is very good, but unfortunately it crashes repeatedly. I haven’t been able to watch more than 2 minutes at a time. Useless and extremely frustrating

@BBCLookNorth Just can’t believe the awful news. I first met an 18 year old Harry when we were both on a cricket tour to Sussex. He remained passionate about cricket - all sports in fact - ever after. Such a nice guy and a true Yorkshire legend.

And to clear up some questions. No, we weren’t pushed. No, we’re not defecting to any other media organisation. And no @GaynorLBarnes and I aren’t married! At least, not to each other! Many thanks to friends, colleagues & acquaintances past & present. Over & out!

Just waking up to more kind messages from friends past and present. Don’t really deserve all this - as my mates say, all I do (did!) is sit on my backside and read an autocue. Many thanks to @GaynorLBarnes & to everyone @itvcalendar for 32 fun years!

After 30 years with ITV News we'll be waving goodbye to two familiar faces and staples of the Calendar region. John Shires and Gaynor Barnes are to leave next week. We wish them all the best for the future. itv.com/news/calendar/…

@christinetalbot @GaynorLBarnes @itvcalendar Thanks for all the kind thoughts and messages. I’ll miss everyone too, but as the old git of Calendar, it’s the right time to call it a day. Looking forward to my last appearance with the on-screen missus, the wonderful GB, next Friday!

We are going to miss these two so much - my dearest friends @GaynorLBarnes and @johnshiresitv will leave @itvcalendar next week. Two brilliant presenters who I’m lucky enough to have worked with for 26 years. Xxx

For those who've never heard of the Krumlin Festival - and for those who have - watch this the extended report by @chrisdawkesITV of what happened on soggy moorland above Halifax 50 years ago. Superb stuff! itv.com/news/calendar/…

@simonjjn @DougieTown Hi Simon. I think that's because the Middlesbrough game wasn't filmed as a game. It was midweek, and a film cameraman would have gone with only enough film for a few minutes. Remember the days? Odds of getting the goal? Very slim!!

Fifty years to the day since Steve Smith scored in the 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough which sealed Town's promotion to the First Division under Ian Greaves.
