25 years ago today, I’d just started a 2pm shift on the Hull Daily Mail.
Now I’m here. Fair bit gone on in between. Lots more to do.

Looking at selling this reg plate - T99 GRS. Retention document available on request. Any #hcafc fans interested before I list it somewhere?

This has been the most monumentally knackering week (since the last monumentally knackering week)… had about 6 hours’ sleep in the past couple of days - but tomorrow’s @HoldernessNews @HullCity special is looking good. Turned the masthead black and amber for our wrap! #hcafc

Great day yesterday marred as always by the bit in the middle… we have some proper divs in the fanbase - but every fanbase does. No one had playoffs on their bingo card this season! We’re still in with a shout, as it stands… but if not… so be it. The future under SJ is bright! #hcafc

Today is a day of celebration, for the Ancient Chariot has sailed through its MOT. 45 quid 🙌
I don’t think this has ever happened to me before

This is either going to be a classic or the worst #TypicalCity in a generation. No half-measures #hcafc

Hugely enjoyed @uncannypodlive at @LivEveryPlay last night! Spooky, thought-provoking and funny in equal measure. Well done @danny_robins @ciaranokeeffe and @_EvelynHollow! (Ps - the cryptid case… I’d say that’s fairly standard for Scunthorpe 😂)

I think I was given this amaryllis at least 5 years ago - over the years have kept the bulb variously in the greenhouse, spare room and on a windowsill and when watered it’s grown a big leaf, but nowt more. Decided to water it again after what must be two years and - boom!

Black and Blue Light Weekend! Tent poles tripped over: two; miles walked: 20; alter-egos: two; pints drunk: not enough - too exhausted…. What an amazing achievement by the @BlueLightWsea team 💙💙

Today’s alter-ego was this! All a bit “record-scratch: yep that’s me, you’re probably wondering how I got into this situation”

Sam’s car bodges #733 - last night while on the road the back window of the auld chariot fell down into the door, and I couldn’t retrieve it. Door trim off (eventually), window pushed up, good old gaffer tape to keep it in place. 👍 All ready for its imminent milestone moment 👀

Another fab show by @DanielTayloresq and the amazing band @HullTruck tonight - such raw, heartfelt passion and superb musicianship. I love how they were all straight out to meet fans afterwards (as an aside, also impressive how they appeared so fresh; I’d be a sweaty wreck 😂)

Getting in the mood for next month’s @BlueLightWsea Beatles Complete gig by digging out and dusting off this Sgt Pepper first press I haven’t played in … maybe 20 years? I’m Captain Digital these days but there’s something so magical about spinning a record.

I've been driving up and down Holderness all day delivering @HoldernessNews Holiday Guides. I was moved to write a short poem:
Ode to My Ancient Skoda
Oh trusty steed, in racing green
With your guttural diesel roar
You’ve been 12 times around the world
And a bit more

Goal difference (albeit quite a big difference). How close we’ve come to people at the club likely losing their jobs, not to mention the wider economic loss to the city of Hull and its reputation as a “big” city. It’s always more than just a game. #hcafc

Not remotely claiming I'm Mystic Meg as most people accurately predicted this utter shower of shite, and indeed I was waaay too optimistic on our league position, but yeah. Wrote this for @StoryHull last year. And don't get me started on the bloody biscuits!! #hcafc

Wow! Free pants in the #hcafc media room as part of the amazing @myoddballs @mkmbs #CheckYourTools campaign.
Please, please, City, don’t make me have to put “pants” in tonight’s match report intro…. 🩲🙏

Absolutely cracking night - here’s me and Mum dancing right in front of the stage, and with John (aka George) afterwards - thanks to slightly refreshed gent at the end who insisted on taking the photo 😂 #BeatlesForever
What a show @completebeatles put on tonight at the @UniOfHull’s Middleton Hall! They won’t be back in Hull till next year… BUT - you can catch them in Withernsea this July!
🎟️ Snap up your tickets now because … it won’t be long, yeah (yeah)! 🎶

Had great fun on the @BlueLightWsea Pub Olympics. One of the questions was, how long would it take to drive to the moon at 60mph? Easy, been there, done that - on 298,000 miles so am on my way back 😎
