After 15 years in radio, what an absolute joy to read my first ever travel bulletin for @realaled on @ClassicFM

Having a cracking time with radio’s @nicktaq 🐣 https://t.co/FApglHf2Zk

Nice to be in a studio with real daylight this week. Such a treat! @BBC6Music @BBCRadio2 https://t.co/5wIFCbF9U4

“With a new paper tray”. They’ve left out the bit about it now containing 8 rather than 9 biscuits. Another con! @BahlsenBiscuits But a big thanks to @NewsreaderMatt for supplying them to the @IRNRadioNews team. https://t.co/OS3iTT7hgq

Saturday morning mince pies with the lads @realaled @josephzubier #weekendnewsclub https://t.co/ZkXOpP4egz

Very glad to have managed to say the underlined bit correctly on @bbcradio2 https://t.co/LMRdjlvPrk

My all time fave story of Cilla Black is the time she explained her love of an Oxo cube rubbed onto an orange as a delightful snack. https://t.co/El1LgHlwIV

As it's mid-November, it's clearly too early for a Sky canteen full Christmas lunch - but I will take one of Ruth McKee's mince pies.

What a team! @realaled @josephzubier https://t.co/g5qYYtmBBN

“Best editor ever” - not my words; the words of radio’s Ruth McKee. https://t.co/L6I7OLtAcg

I think today was the first time I’ve said “molluscs” on the radio, and I enjoyed it. https://t.co/j20rs7jLj4

In what I believe to be a first for UK radio, I got a clip of the 1991 adventure classic, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, into tonight’s 6 o’clock news on BBC Radio 4.

Absolutely banging news bed on @piratefm - makes the newsreader sound half decent too.

Fellow journalists please note: That boat is in the wake of this one. That is pretty much the only time you’ll legitimately need to use the phrase “in the wake of”… https://t.co/ShzrdUw1D3

I forgot to put my blueberries into the overnight oats for my early shift. Terrible news.
