Do you remember when you joined X? I don’t, I joined Twitter! #MyXAnniversary

Just about to start on BBC4.

Tonight.

@PipPapPepPopPup At least he doesn’t dye his hair.

I'm calling it. The speculation has to end. Ross King has indeed had work done. #Oscars2025

@je55ica__rabbit Hahahaa.

@markhyson Just deleted my original reply in case any stalker fans lurking 👀 😂

Sam and I used to be neighbours, then we both moved at the same time. Now I’m neighbours with Dru Michael, his drummer. #PeopleWatching #BRITs #SamFender

@je55ica__rabbit Yeah. It’s cool. I love it.

@markhyson Yeah it’s funny because he’d usually just be referred to as from Newcastle. But now it feels like everyone round the world is specifically saying North Shields. It’s still funny hearing it 😆

@je55ica__rabbit I love how he’s putting North Shields back on the map, too. And band members all locals.

@markhyson It's brilliant isn't it? Insane where his career is now. Mad but so well deserved

This is a great thread about the making of The Deer Hunter.

@TallulahMiggins Stunning. It’s a great song, too.

@ChrisMayhew87 Like at the F1 thing the other day. It might have been okay without him.

@markhyson He’s absolutely awful. Talking absolute shite and it’s not even funny

Jack Whitehall simply isn’t funny 🤷🏻‍♂️ #BRITs2025

@msloobylou @Rnfrw @MarkSGrout Hahahaa. Good for him.

@markhyson @Rnfrw @MarkSGrout My dad (89) was at an exhibition with me a few months ago and had no idea he was touching the rope as it was ankle height and also he's practically deaf so didn't hear the deafening alarm going off. By the end the guards were just sighing and shrugging as visitors looked about.

Today, I got told off for taking a photograph of a stolen painting that was not there because taking photos of the paintings isn't allowed, even if there is no painting there.

@Rnfrw @msloobylou @MarkSGrout I’m thinking of getting some of those Ray Ban glasses with built-in cameras. I’m always getting told off for taking photos at galleries.

@markhyson @msloobylou @MarkSGrout I've seen someone told off in Germany for looking to close at a painting at an exhibition where photos were also not allowed (so I took one)..

@msloobylou @MarkSGrout @Rnfrw Must’ve been, I wasn’t even close enough to touch it.

@markhyson @MarkSGrout @Rnfrw Ha ha! “I was staring too intently.”

@msloobylou @MarkSGrout @Rnfrw I got told off at MOMA just for looking at a painting. Giant Monet triptych. Apparently I was standing too close.

@MarkSGrout @Rnfrw At MOMA lots of people look at nothing with their eyes but just photograph it all

@Rob197711 Sam Fender’s sax player does a great version of this, often plays live at St James Park. Johnny Blue Hat.

Mark Knopfler’s ‘Going Home’ theme from Local Hero is great when applied to sports anthems and the like. But considered in the context of the movie, it never ceases to get my heart racing. Complete sonic perfection.
