Well, after over 15 years on Twitter/X this will be my last post here. I simply can’t justify supporting Musk and the cesspit he has overseen this place turn into. If you can be bothered I’m now over on @bluesky and have actually started posting again. https://t.co/FueyiOQTj1

I may have spent too much at the record fair today, but I blame @thesidsmith for the encouragement. At least that’s what I’m telling @CiderTart_G

Booked our trip to see @officialbenatar in NYC in July; staying at the @RefineryHotel. I may be slightly giddy…

Had a lovely time at the Stu Brew event tonight, despite melting into a puddle in the heat 🥵

“I hear the voice of the scarecrow calling me” Saga’s best album? Possibly. Either way this is a cracking listen.

Had the pleasure of hosting this chap at work yesterday. Made sure to tell him that Gordon needs to be in his squad this summer 😁

Patients, @NewcastleHosps staff and Sir Bobby’s son, Mark, were thrilled to receive a visit from @England manager Gareth Southgate yesterday. Gareth called into the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Trials Research Centre to find out more about Sir Bobby’s legacy: https://t.co/8ksVWUCPAC

“I’m not saying it’s over and done” Yep, another Newcastle Vinyl Record Fair purchase. I always look out for 80s rock when I flip through the racks and this is an album I had picked up and put back several times back in the day. Great vocals from Darby Mills.

“Hey son, what’s on your troubled mind?” Another Newcastle Vinyl Record Fair purchase. Picked this up on spec because of Mel Collins’ involvement. Decent 70s pop rock a la 10cc with cracking production.

“How do you say a Thank You? How do you ever tear yourself away?” Recent purchase at Newcastle Record Fair on the prompting of @thesidsmith. That chap knows his onions. Sleeve is roached and the disc has a little surface noise but boy do the tunes take you away. Top stuff.
