Thank you so much for the thoughtful, well-written review about my work! It’s truly humbling that someone like you would take time and lend their expertise to consider my work!! Very appreciative, Dave!

I see Sun columist Rod Liddle has been brought out on Newsnight to comment on ethics and Huw Edwards.
That'll be Rod Liddle who said in 2012 that he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" if he was a teacher.
Just had a violent confrontation with a very aggro member of @Timpson_Ltd staff in #Cheltenham. Behaved like we were in the prison yard, rather than a shopping centre. Who do I speak to, @JamesTCobbler?
The absolute rank hypocrisy of including - nay celebrating, lauding - Israel in #Eurovision while (rightly) excluding Russia... #Eurovision2023

How to help someone who’s cooking a barbecue:
1. Stand at their side
2. Keep one hand on your hip
3. Other hand holding a drink
4. Stare at the food
5. Occasionally say “those sausages might be done I reckon”
6. That’s it. You’ve been invaluable
My favourite act tonight was... Hannah Waddingham. 😍 Closely followed by Australia... 🦘 #Eurovision #EUROVISION2023
Chart-topping jazz funksters @mulholland_jive played "It Gets Funkier" by @vulfpeck live at @CheltJazzFest, citing them as a primary influence alongside Stevie Wonder. High praise indeed!

A superb evening at @TheDaffodil with @CheltJazzFest tonight, featuring Denny Ilett, Dave Newton, Alex Clarke and Andy Crowdy. Read all about it and more in an upcoming @SyncopatedTimes.
Scored a hat trick of front pages for @SyncopatedTimes: 3 in as many months! Read 3 fascinating profiles of 3 brilliant jazz artists (2 Brits) over at syncopatedtimes.com now.

The @McDonalds McPlant? Ten times better than the crappy @BurgerKingUK Bakon King and costs less, too. Tastes like childhood with none (well, less) of the guilt. And it comes with salad. 🍔 #Vegan #Veganuary #Veganuary2023 #vegetarian #veggie #burger #burgers #Cheltenham
So @sainsburys & @nectar. I just did an £80 shop and the printer failed to print my coupons. Told in store they can't do anything. How do I receive the coupons I was definitely due? They're not in the wallet in my app. SERIOUSLY #miffed 😤
Verdict on @BurgerKingUK's #plantbased #BakonKing: Don't. Minimal sauce, cheese wasn't melted, bacon wasn't crispy. And it cost almost £7 with no sides. Bought in #Gloucester. #Yuck. 🍔🤢 #Veganuary #Vegan #Veganuary2023 #veganism #vegetarian #veggie
So @virginmedia made it very difficult to leave their broadband service, threatened to charge £40 if we didn’t make the hardware available for collection this morning, now they’re late to collect it. Won’t be sorry to see the back of this poxy provider…
What's it like playing washboard for 5,000 people at a Dutch music festival? See my interview with @JackAmblinDrums, about his recent tour with @PMJofficial, in the next edition of the @SyncopatedTimes...

Why is #KayBurley quizzing union leaders 'on behalf of ordinary people', complete ignoring the fact that the people on the picket lines ARE ordinary people? Unions are NOT the enemy of the public - fat cat bosses are. Listen to what interviewees are saying! #AskTheUnionLeaders
As a former @NUJofficial rep I don't get why journos are always quizzing unions as though they are the villain. Exactly what is villainous about standing up for workers' rights? They're playing right into the hands of the gov't - something a journo should never do.

"No one comes over to see your MP3 collection". Fair enough, but why not normalize saying "Check out my downloads! I spent ~$10 each collecting albums directly from artists and small labels. I could have just streamed Spotify but this way I own it and the artist is compensated."
Hey @virginmedia. Why have we been without Internet for TWO DAYS in Cheltenham? Haven't you heard that people work from home nowadays? Will we be refunded for the 36 hours and counting that we've been without service? #virginmedia #virgin #Gloucestershire
