Hey @ThreeUK. Trying to top up a Data Pack for one of your pay-as-you-go SIMs. Your website just doesn't want to take my money. Is there an easy fix for this or is my time better spent finding a SIM from another provider?

Thanks to @PeteGreig for his Insta post about today being the 250th birthday of Amazing Grace. He recommended searching out this clip on YouTube, so I did... "Grace has brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home." Good words to start 2023 with! youtube.com/watch?v=CBKwV6oN…

Seen so much mad news on Twitter and about Twitter right now that I thought I'd share a video I saw tonight which made me smile. This one particularly goes out to all my musical friends...enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=HaAvWxxS…

I've been in Bosnia and Herzegovina almost 14 years a never seen a Rolls Royce on the road here. Today I saw two in one five-hour drive. This random, probably pointless, observation only goes to show the humble Rolls is, in fact, a relation of the London Bus. #random #RollsRoyce

The only thing to add is I hope it all ends with Son having causally walked off with the Golden Boot.

Just checked @BBCSport and honestly took a second's pause to asked if we hadn't gone back in time a couple of weeks. But no it's not April 1st, and outside of that context the Sean Dyche announcement makes no sense. #bbcfootball

I often feel like a jack-of-all-trades multi-instrumentalist, but at heart I think I'm still a bass player. I've got a lot of time for @corywong and his musical output. Here's to British bass players! youtube.com/watch?v=V5PzDaF7…

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but...my wife bought me a Kindle in October and she might just be succeeding in turning me into a reader! Over the past decade I've probably averaged 2 or 3 books a year. I've finished 4 since January. Can I keep up 'a book a week'?

Just kicked off 2022 listening to "The Joy of Being", "Fear" and "A Mirror Dimly" from @citizenstheband back to back. If I can be part of making some albums as creative and inspired as these this year then I'll be a happy boy*! (*late-forty-something musician/songwriter/producer)

As @MKBHD says: "these are the laptops that a lot of people have been waiting a long time for." We can probably even forgive @Apple for being a bit self-congratulatory for just listening to their customers. Ports and headphone socket for the win! youtube.com/watch?v=uhIdijSr…

Following up spotting this delicious interaction by listening to @TheRestHistory put Bond into perspective. Thanks @holland_tom, @dcsandbrook, @GaryLineker & @piersmorgan for the entertainment.

Friday music thoughts: I'm excited to hear @thefeeling have a new album on the way. Hoping for some new classics. And I'm impressed with #DontShutMeDown by @ABBA, which sounds just like one of their old classics. Not bad after a 40 year break!

They said it, not me! But after the endless hunt for a manager, the ESL debacle and the Harry Kane saga I'm sure most Spurs fans are as surprised as everyone else about this.

Mandala is the latest single from Castra. I had the pleasure of recording and mixing this track...as well as playing guitar as part of the band. We're really happy with how it turned out. Hope you enjoy it too! youtube.com/watch?v=m1xBaqfs…

Here's to monotony and dull rhythms, and the tenacity and humility they inspire!

What I thought was a dodgy mic turned out to be a fault in my old Presonus. So it seems it's time to buy a new audio interface. Any musician/producer friends out there got experience (hopefully recommendations) with 4 channel interfaces from Focusrite, Audient, SSL or similar?

Here in Bosnia we have a friend who, when they are watching an England match, alway mis-sings the National Anthem "send her victorious, humble and glorious". Should it come home today I can only hope those words are fitting description of the reaction of England fans. #ENGITA

Last night my chest felt the thump of a kick drum through a decent PA for the first time in a long time. It wasn't complaining!

If you want to see my cartoon self rocking hard on the guitar... youtube.com/watch?v=jmHJKAQ7…

Well that was an interesting game to watch in Croatia with a group of Croatians...or when "good game for the neutral" means "keep your mouth shut"! #bbceuro2020 #cro #esp
