The inefficiency of people taking their seats on planes does not make me optimistic about the human race.

London is the only home I've ever known. It is a marvellous and welcoming city, full of tradition and opportunities. The people posting on this site who are desperate to convince you it's awful generally don't live here, which is excellent news for those of us who do.

Continued the health kick by making a Kinder Bueno cheesecake.

It is no more.

I’ve designed a t-shirt for radio producers

Surely this is peak Telegraph

On his (maybe, though who knows) birthday, some truisms about teaching Shakespeare.

Just when you’ve given up on twitter…

It’s not traditional, but I made apple sauce to go with today’s roast. What are you going to do about it?

Of course I'm familiar with The Tortured Poets Department!

It’s 26 years old today.
Still saving lives.
Still the bedrock of the New Northern Ireland we live in today.
The first 25yrs were transformational.
The next 25yrs will be even better.
Keep the faith and keep moving forward.

Your occasional reminder that Northern Ireland is a casual stunner.

A very good morning.

If you ever wonder what customer service might be like in the US if there wasn’t a tipping culture, perhaps the security staff in American airports offer a glimpse into that world.

A very British moment.

Asked someone for directions because I wasn’t totally sure.

I knew enough to know that what he told me was totally wrong.

Thanked him and then felt obligated to walk in the direction he suggested despite knowing it was wrong 😂

There's no way to prepare you for what this sounds like, I can only insist that it's one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

If you say ‘beverage’ instead of ‘drink’, I’m really sorry but we just can’t be friends any more.

I was so sorry to hear you’re at work today.

I am filled with irrational anger for runners who don’t say thank you as they run past the volunteer marshals at #parkrun

Too many episodes of The Big Show and Love Songs to remember, two factoids books together, and it all ends one Tuesday afternoon out of the blue. I can’t believe it. Thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart. You are British radio. And you are Radio 2. #SteveWright

So many brilliant Steve Wright stories this evening.

I'll treasure the day he asked me to explain RuPaul's Drag Race to him before he interviewed one of its contestants.

He was so intrigued. 'So is Ru a drag queen? Is Michelle a drag queen?'

A giant of broadcasting. RIP.
