When you've been in the #magazine business for more than 35 years (like me), it's lovely when a fresh, exciting take on the industry comes along, and it's right on your doorstep! Off to Magazine Street now! Save me a bacon roll @MagazineCentre

Off to see @StranglersSite tonight, with my old school pal Alan. Last time we saw them together was at the Glasgow Apollo in 1978. Time flies eh? Support by local heroes Twisted Nerve. Last time we missed the train home. Hope that doesn't happen again!

Hey @laurenlaverne – Two quid for a pint? Hah – when I was at college in 1980, the union bar had a 'drink the bar dry' night (couldn't keep it over the holidays for some reason). It was a penny a pint. I held up 50p and shouted: "drinks for everyone!"

Forty-one years after this original photo was taken on the Ponte dell'Accademie in #Venice, #Italy, we recreated it! I am even wearing the same sunglasses given to me by @mrkevinlow and the rest of The Wild Indians… The background may not have changed much but I have! #1980s

Great to hear Aberdonian funksters APB on @BBC6Music just now. Blast from the past, but I suppose they were big in NYC - isn't that right @OfficialHuey

Watched a bit of the original Randall & Hopkirk (deceased) on the telly last night. I loved that when I was a kid. The red Mini that Jean Hopkirk drives had a really distinctive number plate, so I looked it up on DVLA. It's still going strong after 60 years!

Terrible picture, but this is me waking up from a radical prostatectomy two years ago #OTD. I had #prostatecancer , but it was contained, so this was my best chance of survival. I'm doing fine now and grateful to NHS Scotland for taking the best care of me. 😍@ProstateUK

So sick of cuts to the creative sector. Get signed up! MAKE CREATIVITY MATTER - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/7NAhv9KCQz via @UKChange

Loving the #cowbell tunes @laurenlaverne – but wait – no A Bomb in Wardour Street by The Jam? You can't leave that one out! @BBC6Music

#NP6music if you're looking for spooky songs look no further than Country Death Song by the Violent Femmes. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I hear it! @FreshOnTheNet @BBC6Music

If you were a student at @EdinburghUni then chances are you will have seen The Student – the student #newspaper. Hey you may even have worked on it! It's been in print since 1887, but struggling a bit. See the funding page if you can help. #edinburgh

How was everyone's weekends? I managed to squeeze in a #whisky tasting, trail run in the rain, silent movie with piano accompaniment, #art exhibition and live #jazz gig.

Bacon rolls - Glenmorangie style! Set me up for the day that will... (There's only four of us)!

These are comfier than they look... ready for my all-day meeting!

Did @CCfunkandsoul say something about a favourite record under two mins? This springs to mind… The Rezillos' version of Somebody's Gonna Get Their head Kicked In Tonight (comes in at 1:58). For a long time I never realised it was a cover version! @BBC6Music

Great to meet the team from our long-standing client @age_uk today at @CafeGallipoli in London!

I once applied for a room in a flat in Stockwell in the mid-80s. The door was opened by none other than Paul Quinn – singer from the Jazzateers and Bourgie Bourgie. When I said I'd come about the room he said it had gone. He was just moving in! 😂 @steve_lamacq @BBC6Music

Good luck to everyone getting their #SQAresults today! 😀 I got my results in 1980 and it took me a few years to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. Just remember, there's #NoWrongPath @connectcomms #design

#MorningPorty Yay! We remembered to post today so big pat on the back to us for utilising rudimentary cognitive processes on a frankly minimal level 🧐😂 Anyhoo, Who’s all coming in for #DogFriendlyThursday then, come and meet #Orvie! 🐕 Let’s beat 17 dog visitors today!! 🏆

So brilliant that you are playing this album in full tonight - and on my birthday! @the_rezillos only studio LP was one of the first I bought and definitely the most played in my collection. I will be having a pogo around the kitchen at 6! @steve_lamacq @BBC6Music
