Time for some of this modern music they call pop. Can't see it catching on myself.

Just remembered the #AprilFools gag that totally got me - I was listening to Breeze AM radio more than 30 years ago and the breakfast DJ was a stand-in: All the DJs had quit because they'd won the lottery, and station bosses had no idea what was happening.

Current designs are all the same bar the name of the chocolate. Drab and corporate rather than fun and Eastery.

The @radiotimes.bsky.social has finally had a long overdue overhaul, but commits the same error made in the 1993 70th anniversary revamp: listings need lines. They might look fine on screen but in print the eye needs help navigating columns. Give it a few issues and they will reinstated.

Watched on the bus. Laughed very loudly. Got strange looks.

@drmatthewsweet.bsky.social what a lovely, insightful interview with Mark Strickson. Thanks!

A #Caturday treat

This is hugely irresponsible - bank in this case means one specific ecommerce fund that is closing next week. It's written as if its a wider issue. If I was @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com I'd be furious

The Netherlands has been named the partner country for the 70th International EUHA Congress in Hanover from 14-16 October 2026. With the growth of technologies like Auracast, #EUHA2026 remains the hub for hearing connectivity. More: aurahear.com/2026/03/the-... #Audiology #Auracast #Netherlands

Does anyone know if Saturday Night Live UK has subtitles? Just tried to watch on catch-up but no subbys there. Will be disappointing if it's not captioned, I realise it's live which may be the issue. #snlUK #accessibility #subtitles

Love Blue Collar - hope tomorrow is a success

I am overjoyed that #SNLUK is starting today. We need more topical comedy from fresh voices. Sure, it might be a bit rough and ready, yes some of the jokes won't land, absolutely some of the routines will need time to gel ... but this is new, scripted comedy on our UK tellies. Good luck to all!

I once interview Bonnie Langford and told her that this was the story where I realised I loved rock n roll. She looked at me as if I was even madder than the usual Whovian, signed my Delta DVD and made a swift, but polite exit.

Just arrived in my letterbox - thanks @sundaypost.com, its braw. Reminds me of being a child in the 80s and having to wait until Tuesday for the paper to travel from Scotland to Kent.

Failed today's #Wordle (1,730) Turns out there are seven possible words when there is just one letter left. Ah well, it wasn't my biggest streak. ⬛🟨🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩

What marvellous news to wake up to! I love Classic Doctor Who with all my hearts and more Daleks is always a welcome thing.

If ever there was a need for You're Fired and not this dreadful visual podcast it is a triple firing #TheApprentice

I'm on a train and this is Google Live Translate's interpretation of the train announcement... If you ever wonder why I'm so passionate about #Auracast in trains, this is it.

Today is #WorldHearingDay and the theme of From Communities to Classroom resonates with us. #Auracast systems in schools and lecture halls can make a world of difference to learning: clear sound, speech-to-text, and bring your own device. Phil Creighton reflects on the start of his hearing journey.

He was the first European to be crowned by Elvis Presley Enterprises as the ‘Worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist’ in Memphis. He's Reading's favourite Elvis, too. He's Ben Portsmouth. And he's back at the Hexagon on Thursday. whatsonreading.com/thisiselvis2...

As we look to create a UK Local News Fund, we commissioned Greater Community Media to see what lessons could be learned from similar examples around the world. Join us to find out what they learned — from Brazil to North Carolina, Amsterdam to Berlin: luma.com/vj6qzyem

Thrilled to see this - comics are a really important part of a newspaper and I don't understand why they have been dropped in recent years.

This week, I have been pondering what came first: Castrovalva, or Adam and the Ants #DoctorWho

For me: - return to 25-minute episodic format. The age of streaming relishes cliffhangers, and weekly releases. No reason why this won't work again - Four- and six-part stories where a supporting cast mean a 26-episode season is achievable - Adventures happen where #DoctorWho accidentally lands...

Back at Priestfield. After two away defeats, hoping we can find the back of the net more times than Oldham do. Up the #gills!

We're playing a team of Spider-man cosplayers. Just hope the goalie isnt Doc Octopus in disguise #gills

They had a hit with Turning Japanese ... and they're still recording today! The Vapors are coming to #rdguk this April thanks to Future Transmissions - details here #LiveMusic #TheVapors cheeselogs.co.uk/2026/02/19/t...

I've just discovered the 1979 series of The Saint. Its as if someone looked at everything special that went into The Saint (Roger Moore) and Return of the Saint (Ian Ogilvy) and deliberately ditched it. Its slow, ponderous, lumpy and dull. But not as bad as the Val Kilmer film

My missus has plans for today #valentinesDay

REVIEW: The HomeSpot BA308 Recast Nano Dongle is a small and powerful portable Auracast receiver, but ... The device aims to solve backwards compatibility – one of the hardest parts of the #Auracast jigsaw. See what we think #bluetooth #HomeSpot #BluetoothLEAudio #AssistiveListening #deaf

Does anyone do the Lambeth walk anymore?

FlooGoo firmware update: dual streaming at 24khz and 48khz – a significant step forward for Auracasting, especially in public venues #auracast #floogoo #bluetoothLEAudio

Who misses getting letters from Tom Champagne in the Reader's Digest prize draws department? I was always one stage away from winning big. And a complete set of the works of Charles Dickens (abridged)

Auracast can solve my number one problem when ordering a McDonald's.

Quentin’s brother.

Happy superb owl day to all who celebrate. #superbowl

It's really strange not having the fun of You're Fired after #TheApprenticeUK - the replacement show is so bad I've switched off my television set and done something less boring instead #TheApprentice

Forget the superb owls... here we are for some football. Up the #Gills

Absolutely brilliant last line. No spoilers, but Swedish Chef's kiss

The wit, charm and jokes of You're Fired with its studio audience and unseen moments has been replaced with a hunour-free low-budget podcast. #TheApprentice #UnfinishedBusiness is so bad it's remaining Unfinished... I've switched off

This monstrosity was allegedly English breakfast tea and my hotel room didn't have any milk... I have successfully confirmed all English stereotypes by tutting and sighing loudly.

Are they offering magic beans for payment? Cash in a brown envelope? This is a role with a major multinational firm. There is no reason why the job description should exclude a pay band. #recruitment
