Big love to James from

for asking a member of the production team to hug him because he was struggling to cope.
Never be ashamed to ask for help ♥️
During the pandemic, work have been paying for taxis.
My driver has just invited me to his virtual 50th birthday party next weekend on zoom because I quote 'You're the only new friend I made last year' 🥺
It's bonkers that Andy Street lost his West Midlands seat.
He didn't lose it because of skill, character or professionalism. He lost it because the Tory party is rotten to it's core. He lost it because of the bile that has come out of government for the last 14 years.
@piersmorgan
Even by your standards, this is a disgrace.
Mocking someone for dealing with their sexuality is exactly why people find it hard to come out. It's 2020.

What a weird take - 'you can use the national press to help find a missing loved one, but you must let them harass and hound you whenever they want'
I'm lucky that I have really good mental health, but this lockdown has been a struggle!
If you're finding it hard like me, here are some wise words from my good pal
@JasonManford
Things will look different very soon❤️
I post this

because it's really important that people see it.
"Just because you're struggling, it doesn't mean that you're failing".
So don't be scared to ask your mates for help ♥️
A couple in the pub are arguing because she's just blown £400 in TK Maxx yet he's not allowed to buy the new Chelsea Football Top.
It's so dramatic we've just ordered another round to see how this pans out.
I'm part of a stag WhatsApp group with people I don't know called 'Birdy', 'Gregsy', 'Cheesey Carl', 'P Man Parish', 'Other Jon' and 'Del Boy'.
How do you get out of your own brothers stag!?
Started the week producing a 10 hour non-stop Indie Disco with
@bushontheradio
and ended the week producing a somber Hometime Show with
@RichieFirth
reflecting the news of Prince Philip.
Massive pat on the back to all my radio / TV colleagues who have handled today brilliantly.
Some sad news. Today is my last day with
@bushontheradio
&
@RichieFirth
on Hometime.
It's sad and dissapoiting because it's only the last day of 2020.
I'm back with them on the 4th of Jan 2021 🤦♂️🙄

I thought I'd share how awesome my mum is
When I came out, which seemed like a BIG deal to me (and was)
She simply said ...
'But YES. what do you want from KFC? We need to order'
She didn't make it awkward. She acted normal. Because it is normal.
Did a student talk today about being a radio producer and a lad genuinly asked...
"I'm the only gay person who works in my shop and it's awkward for me. Would I find it difficult in radio too?"
No mate, you'd be a minority if you were straight 😂
Chuffed that we've set a new record for the

Show with

I'm on the way to my brothers stag in Bournemouth where I'll be meeting a bunch of 'lads' called 'Gregsy' 'Birdy', 'Cheesey Carl' and 'P Man Parish'.
I'm already thinking of ways I can derail the train.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
It was an idea I had a few months ago, an idea

I've been awake for 32 hours. I've laughed, cried & shouted at B&R.

Just booked an official business meeting in with my family for the 25th of December. 8 year old nephew is the chair and my 4 year old niece is taking minutes.
Any recommendations on cheeses and wines?

As kid who watched Queer as Folk in the 90s in secret, be fucking honoured that this is on Channel 4 in a prime time slot on a Friday night.

Yesterday I got to give away thousands of pounds to a single mum of 2 struggling to get by as she works non-stop for our NHS.
When I spoke to her off air she cried and I may also have joined her.
Big love to Joanna ❤️
If you missed it, it's worth taking three minutes to listen to this. The touching moment NHS worker Joanna had her 2021 put off to the best possible start last night on Hometime with

It's great you had time to do a survey of all these men to find out the sexual orientation.
Whilst they were saving lives, you were doing a bar chart.
Other than our legendary security guard, I'm the only person in work today out of 30+ radio stations.
Do us a favour and listen to

Hometime is live 🔥
Love our listeners.
Our Hometime show is their show and no other presenters put the love and commitment into a show than

Have had some lovely messages from listeners about the role radio has played in their lives, but this letter I received today has made me so happy. I love my job, I know I’m very lucky to do what I do, and I love that for some of you

Reading tributes about Nikki Grahame from the same 'journalists', editors and bloggers who used to publish this shit is vile. You're part of the problem.

Called this iconic building 'home' for the past 11 years, but today
@absoluteradio
locked the doors for the final time.
I've made my best friends here, had career highlights and have far too many stories that can't be told for legal reasons.
There really is no place like it!
Last Saturday I got drunk.
So drunk that I forgot I did some online shopping.
Today these arrived and are vile.
Does anyone want some free Adidas trainers?
