So sad to hear of the passing Alan Kilburn. A mentor and a dear friend. I remember him and I being invited to Fung Tung’s (former @CIHhousing President) house in Hong Kong for dinner when there in 1996 and we had to sit on the floor. We always had a giggle about that RIP Alan

Great to be on the programme today with Seamus and Sinead
Good discussion today on @BBCTalkback with @williamcrawley alongside @Paddygray1 and @s_marms regarding insufficient housing supply in NI, the causes and clarifying the allocation system. Housing shouldn't be dividing people, instead uniting in demanding adequate supply.

Tried phoning this company which charges premium rates and all you get is a recording. The arrival airport was Belfast. Why was it taken back to London 🤔
@Paddygray1 Sorry about that! Items left on board are handed into the lost property office at the arrival airport, so your iPad must have only been found on the return journey. Please check with Smarte Carte, who handle London Heathrow lost property here: https://t.co/TqUnUwFiUh Kimbers

I love these scams this is the fourth I have received from different bits on different platforms. Just want to alert those decent friends and colleagues who follow me. Also be aware of scam airline responses
@Paddygray1 @GLA_Airport @londonheathrow Hi, sorry to hear that your flight got cancelled. I am a Journalism Student from UCA, we are looking for the people who have been affected by Heathrow's closure. Could I speak to you about how the Heathrow fire is affecting you? please
