Building on what I’d learned at Rock FM, I’ve also been fortunate to work with some truly brilliant and talented colleagues, and I really appreciate their help and support. Sure, the BBC isn’t perfect, but we’re lucky to have it, and I’m proud to play my small part in it. (3/3)

with bits of BBC 5 Live, BBC Business, BBC CNS News for England and launching one of the first BBC social media news services in between. From the most awful news and tragedies to brilliant, fun stories, I’ve been lucky to meet some amazing people. (2/3)

I’ve been working at the BBC for 25 years today.
From Radio Leeds, reading the news across Yorkshire on ancient equipment that really should have been in a museum even then (and now is!), to Radio Manchester and North West Tonight – (1/3)

More Christmas Cracker stuff, from the same pack that included a weird black plastic ball (see previous posts) - this trivia almost ruined Christmas for my still Santa believing 8 year old.

Hi BlueSky. Can you help solve this Christmas mystery?
A gift in a cracker. A hard plastic black ball. Three white-ish spots on one side, one white-ish spot on the other. No instructions, nothing else with it. Any ideas what it is or what it’s supposed to do?

Best wishes to you too.
Surely the 6am is one junction that you could β€œaccidentally” forget to take control for and leave it to London?!

Merry Christmas πŸŽ„

Best wishes for a nice day and thank you if you’re working today.

Tortoise and Hare are now the speed icons in #Apple CarPlay.
So… if I pick the tortoise, does the #podcast finish sooner because slow and steady wins the race? πŸ’πŸπŸ‡
