Retweet/like if you think we should start a petition to get Paula Vennells CBE removed? If there's enough interest I think we should, least we can do for those that have suffered #MrBatesVsThePostOffice

Today marks 5 years since the prostatectomy op that meant Grandad (@CaPP3) was cancer free. We know how lucky we were, & we know that precious extra time depended on getting checked. So here's a reprise of our song two years ago with @ProstateUK ❤️ 🗣️Have that chat 🩺Get checked

Here's our tribute to legend @ShaneMacGowan, a parody we've called "Fairytale of New Born" - which draws on @poguesofficial iconic track #fairytaleofnewyork (🤞 for 🎄#1) to tell story of the #Christmas #Nativity in a new 🎶 way...🎅 If you like, please 👉 https://t.co/kNmmhVw2uA

It’s been an honour and a pleasure to work ⁦@NewcastleHosps⁩ alongside CEO Dame Jackie Daniel. We wish her well in the next phase of her career

A quick heads-up to let you know a Christmassy video is up for #IfThatDayComesRound's B side (raising money for @BritishRedCross: https://t.co/kNmmhVw2uA). The B side, called "Raise a Smile", is about pulling together when someone's feeling low ❤️👇🎄🎶 https://t.co/m6h9VNixOk

Delighted to join the Cancer Prevention team to celebrate with Peter Sowter after he successfully defended his PhD thesis. Thanks for the drum kit cufflinks Peter. Very thoughtful. We all wish you success as a science teacher and share your joy that Anna said”yes”!

To start the same eleven players in 3 games within 7 days and beat Chelsea & Manchester Utd with a draw at PSG in between is nothing short of remarkable. Eddie Howe & #NUFC continue to defy all the odds this season and continue to make the city proud of this team.

I joined my dear friend and colleague Professor Naeem Soomro on Freeman Ward 1 ⁦@NewcastleHosps⁩ for cake to mark his retirement from clinical work. Like me he will continue clinical research ⁦@UniofNewcastle⁩. 5 yrs ago Naeem removed my prostate - PSA still zero😊
