I'm OBSESSED with this tiny door in the wall at Oxford Circus tube station - so much so that when I'm drunk, I take photos of it.
Here are 4 portraits I've taken of it on 4 different nights in the past 2 weeks. Head's gone.
I think my favourite thing about
@robbeckettcomic
's IG story chaos, (apart from the taxi megaphone) was him sitting in an alley next to some bins at 11pm declaring "I'm eating chicken in the street in front of some police cars at 1AM"
@thewhippasnappa
This made me actually shed a tear laughing.
"By the way, I recently heard someone commenting that your posture looked *good*."
Cannister:
I've just found this picture of
@timheidecker

@ericwareheim
on Getty Images.
It pleases me that this is an actual photo, taken by a professional photographer, taking up their server space and that people have to pay to use.
@OfficialTandE
Sad to see:
@benburrell
has taken to texting his own
@absoluteradio
show 🙁
Caught a glimpse of the text console and it was lots of "Loving the tunes Ben! Keep playing real music that matters" and "Hahaha Ben, you're great and the music's real, keep up the good work! Ben x"
@campbellclaret
Is there any chance of an explainer about the ERG on
@RestIsPolitics
?
It's been mentioned a lot but I'm not sure what it is / does, particularly now that Brexit is "done".
Dunno whether
@RoryStewartUK
has any insight into it?
Sad to report that today
@bushontheradio
shat himself just before going on-air.
He was crying and all snotty, so me and
@bplmurphy
had to take his trousers off, wash him down, and give him some leggings out of lost property. Messy business :(
Last Friday, I had to watch my aunt's funeral by webcam
My sister & I didn't even travel 15 miles home to hug mam who'd lost her sister to Alzheimer's, after a 10yr struggle
I don't like using our hurt to make a political point, but I am SO angry at
@BorisJohnson
's government.
Saw this in Tesco last night.
As someone familiar with both Photoshop and the normal proportions of human beings, I think I can confidently say there is absolutely no way 4 adults sat like that have their bodies and legs tucked under water in that hot tub.
@giantpoppywatch
Currently frantically writing an angry letter to "Sadiq" to report the 10-strong group of obvious fraudsters dressed as Royal Air Force officers selling poppies at Piccadilly Circus the other day. That money could've gone to Captain Tom's daughter's spa 😡🇬🇧🫡
Absolutely unbelievable thing happened last night:
I pulled a girl in a club (unbelievable enough) WHILST WEARING CAMO CARGO SHORTS
Cannot stop laughing at my mate's description of it as: "playing on maximum difficulty"
Facebook has just reminded me that it's 5 years since I took this photo of
@bushontheradio
meeting Mexican drug lord El Chapo (huge fan of the No Repeat Guarantee) 🥰

@Masterman
I can't stop laughing at this photo from a festival I was working at over the weekend, where it appears that
@nomadicrevery
donned a wig and performed an acoustic session.
Guess who heard
@distantpod
discuss a 3rd division Brazilian football kit months ago, searched it on his phone, forgot about it, got drunk on his sofa last Friday, rediscovered the tab on his phone at 2am, ordered it, then promptly forgot about it again until it arrived today?
I just spent half an hour in the presence of my comedy hero Steve Coogan, and he was really nice and he'd researched the questions I'd asked him, and said he liked them, WHICH MEANS HE LIKES ME WHICH MEANS WE'RE GOING TO GO FOR A PINT AND BECOME BEST FRIENDS!
I have to transcribe video captions for work. Facebook has an automated tool which is reasonably good at working out what people are saying.
However...
It CANNOT understand what
@robbeckettcomic
is saying. Ever.
When the robot uprising happens, he's our only hope.
We've activated Halloween Mode on the
@absoluteradio
schedule.
Myself and
@KevinHingley
just sat at our desks saying things like "Should 'Scare-ah' have an 'h' at the end or not?"
Personal favourite is "Ghost Boy"
I have blocked and reported
@bushontheradio
for pulling this face on his Instagram stories.
I am seeking £1.6million in damages, and would like any other instances flagged to me to help build my legal case.
I'm furloughed at home with nothing to do, so I remade

's 'Wish You Were Here' album cover with appropriate 2 metre social distancing for the coronavirus crisis.
Just rediscovered this fucking hilarious moment when
@robbeckettcomic
found out
@RealDysonator
was presenting a ludicrously-timed show on a bank holiday Sunday.
Christ alive, this made me laugh so much I was crying
April: that magical month in which you go from blowing your nose all the time because of a winter cold, to blowing your nose all the time because of hayfever.
@JeansAndSheux
Took me a while (had to get the guys down at The Nastro Azzurro Archives to help out), but have just located the original black shirt 12-inch pressing.🔥

into compromising positions, caN dO gUd eNgLisH and want to work for me whilst I make woeful jokes 8hrs a day, then apply for this.
The jokes are mandatory, I'm afraid.
One thing I'd like to point out amongst the great

stuff is
@SerenaBhardwaj
's PHENOMENAL graphic design work - such attention to detail, from background textures, to motifs and film grains on videos.
Proud to have her on our little digital team! 👍
You'd love to celebrate

LIKEWISE HAVING A BILLION PDF MENUS SAVED SOMEWHERE (WHERE DO THEY GO) ON MY PHONE AND IT TURNS OUT OH HEY THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE BEER LIST ON THERE CHEERS
Maryam Moshiri's middle finger could be put to much better use as a logo for companies and organisations who've shown time and time again how much they care about customers, the environment, profits, their cronies, etc.
@catyeboah
@HCDayantis
Oh my word, Catherine if you could grab a photo or a video that would be amazing!
If you could first install some Sylvanian Families furniture in there, that'd be even better.
Frankly baffling screen signalling the start of

@RichieFirth
's reign of terror across the Absolute Radio decade stations.
Please let the record show that they kicked off their 70s show with 'I Feel Love' by Donna Summer.
When I heard that Biden had won, I was walking through Camden and immediately bought a takeaway pint. I'll basically take any excuse to drink nowadays.
Dianne Abbott gets crucified for sipping a mojito tin on a train in her own time.
Michael Gove shows up to Parliament *to his place of work* clearly battered.
Be interested to see the (not at all racist!) press coverage of this.
@bushontheradio
I once broke into a mid-tier DJ's house after organising a fake soup kitchen in the neighbouring church as a diversion.
But I forgot to process the actors' time-sheets, so they won't get paid before Christmas :(

I've been blown away. This weekend at

was no different.
Proper rock 'n' roll 🤘

British podcast: couple of comedians talking about sausage rolls in the 80s.
American podcast: "To start with, we need to go back, before the 80s. Before, even, the invention of the sausage roll. We need to go to a butchers in 5th century China. It's a bright cold morning..."
