'Do you remember when you joined X? I do!' #MyXAnniversaryWell I don't but X does. I just remember a very sweet naively new community and making friends with Janners WALDEMAR JANUSZCZAK We all explored 'social' media together - and I then started my #direPR and #aspirePR threads...

Faithful followers of #direPR will be happy to know that it is alive and well and dropping into my inbox...'please ignore the two images that are attached. They aren't supposed to be on the email!' No, an exclamation mark is not an excuse...

I just signed the The Mirror petition calling for Alan Bates, the ex-postmaster who led the decades-long fight to expose the Horizon system scandal to be awarded an honour. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVsThePostOffice you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/give… via 38 Degrees

I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stri… via 38 Degrees

re last tweet...(xhalation?) Not to worry. Katrina Burroughs says in any event Peach Fuzz verges on a plug-in air freshener, or a loo roll colour...so maybe it's a fair cop after all.

Well now we really do have the style police with PANTONE declaring PEACH FUZZ the colour of 2024.
Why don't they check these things? You can forgive crazy Italian translations but this is simply a transatlantic trend trash...

Nice to see that the photos I took of London Design Festival 2012 which were published on Dezeen are still on the internet (found when doing a search for something else!) dezeen.com/2012/09/23/lon…

Faithful followers from the early days will be happy to know that #direPR is not dead. Latest story idea from my in box. 'Expert comment' promised 'to end the great debate on how to correctly hang your toilet roll and reasons for each preference.' Super click-worthy apparently.
