Premier League Crawley 3 League Two Leeds 0.
Best day in my 45 years supporting Crawley Town. Had no idea this day would come! #CRALEE #bbcfacup #bbcfootball
Always said, as a compliment, there is a bit of #AlanPartridge in everyone who’s worked in radio...
... and this proves my point...
Excellent work... #LineofDuty
Ever wondered how dramatic a newsroom is?
We’re basically AC-12 but with press cards instead of warrant badges, and we’re armed with microphones instead of guns.

Albania v England on full delay, cos I was out getting my #coronavirus vaccination...
...and like the Likely Lads, avoiding the score
...and impressed they gave decent time to the excellent Big Match Revisited: A gr8 weekly look-back

Around 25 per cent of 50-54s YET to be vaccinated.
I’ve got mine later, at the #Brighton Centre. From Genesis and John Denver to the jab.
If you’re stalling, you’re not helping.

Even BEFORE #coronavirus, BBC and independent #localradio, and radio in general, was a valued service to millions...
...to whom the voices were the only ones many people heard from one week to the next

Today @BBCSussex @BBCSurrey, we’ve been marking one year since the start of the first lockdown. It’s been quite a year. This is an interesting read from my boss Chris Burns, who oversees the BBC Local Radio network: bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/articl…

Quandary at 9: Do we stay with #Grace on #ITV and the chap buried in the coffin near #Shoreham in Sussex...
... or do we hop across the Irish Sea for the big finale of Ulster-based #Bloodlands on #BBC1?!

My claustrophobia was SEVERELY tested when those jerks buried that chap alive in a coffin... #Grace

While since I was a #police PR, but test how Met Police press office handles #ClaphamCommon.
Maybe:
- No statement til Mon earliest
- Let #DickOut calls subside
- Conciliatory statement Mon looking at Sat, no charges, poss meet w/ #ReclaimTheseStreets

Steve Coogan one of the few celebrities to not hold back his utter contempt for tabloid newspapers... whose history incl #PiersMorgan...
Coogs 100% right - and while not every journalist is a bully, my advice to colleagues every day is ”remember they are journalists.” #Peston

#LIVEAID - what acts do you remember? The Quo opening? Queen and the amazing Radio Ga Ga?
Until @thekikidee was on @BBCSussex this wk, sry to say I’d forgotten this electric performance of Don’t Go Breaking My Heart with @eltonofficial - SO MUCH ENERGY! m.youtube.com/watch?v=8EwwYt…

RIP, Lou Ottens, inventor of the cassette tape, aged 94.
Some of mine ⬇️ will be my own radio work recorded for posterity, often by our proud dad, or that of others...
Note a couple of carts there - radio folk?! Carts contained short audio clips, including jingles...
Piers Morgan leaving Good Morning Britain a day after he used national television to say he didn’t believe a word a pregnant woman said about having suicidal thoughts is a victory for anyone who has either suffered from, or campaigned in support of, #mentalhealth problems.

Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford beating co-presenter Piers Morgan is one of the biggest #FACup shocks ever!

In a suitable moment, PA newsflash of the End of the Piers show JUST as It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over by Lenny Kravitz plays on @darrenproctordj’s @greatesthitsuk radio show... #piersmorgan

The #mentalhealth allegations are potentially far more damaging than any claims of racism. In the wider world now - fair-minded people - there is, sadly, more tolerance of racism than denial of mental health issues.

Don’t normally quote Ronan Keating on PR advice and #mediatraining, but line in one of his records: “You say it best when you say nothing at all.”
Years since I worked at the palace, but just started another week of media statements: all very short, very sweet #OprahMeghanHarry
I would say Buckingham palace PR HR and HRH will have a busy Monday after #HarryandMeghanonOprah, a cluster of bombshells needing responses

I quite like Meghan Sparkles, but there’s a reason press officers sit in on media conversations...
... as ALL press officers and journalists reading ⬇️ where she recalls Oprah’s first interview approach will know

@BeckyWant The Sweeney has just played Two Many Broken Hearts by Jason Donovan - and just keep rewinding the app! Love that song! #FridayFeeling @BBCRadioManc

This golden hour’s taking about three weeks. Now had Donna Summer on repeat for 20 minutes... At this rate, Phil’s doing the late show! @BBCRadioManc

Did you see @Yvette_AustinTV interview our Environment Manager Alan Cansdale on BBC South East today? Alan was talking about our annual river maintenance on #RiverMedway.
Can you believe the amount of debris we collected? 🛒 🚲
Catch piece again on BBC South East at 6.30 tonight
Given cost of advertising on the second channel, a million doesn’t seem a lot for #OprahMeghanHarry, if that is what ITV paid...
Maybe I’m blinded by cash cos I’ve been looking at the #BudgetDay numbers...
Anyhow, Sunday on CBS. Monday on ITV... #medianews #C4News #bbcnewsten
