@BootsUK How do I do that please? There’s no direct message button on your page? Thanks

[Adrian J O Smith @AdrianJOSmith]

@BootsUK Hi. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an avid user of self service tills, but when I approach a manned till because two of your staff members are stood talking to one other and no customers in sight, I’m not keen on being told “what are you coming to me for?”

@AmazonUK Hi. Please can you ensure that your address label printers don’t chop off the left part of the address on labels? We have several times now experienced wrongly delivered parcels because part of the address is chopped off. Many thanks.

@themichaelcaine Wow! Apparently it has a “lenticular slipcase” and there are only 2,000 of them. Jaws 2 hasn’t even got this level of treatment! 😄

@ChrisDYork I suspect until Bellingham scored in the 95th minute, Gareth Southgate was wishing he was there with you!

@themichaelcaine Educating Rita?

@ChallengeTV Hi! Do you not have the Ed Tudor Pole series of The Crystal Maze? Whilst we all love Richard O’Brien, I wasn’t expecting you to conclude series 4 and go right back to series 1 tonight - completely omitting series 5 and 6. What do I do now at 6pm?! 😉

@AliceVision Alice watching The Goonies is like me (at her age) wanting to watch a movie from the 1950s. Just goes to show how good 80s films are!

@thedebbiemcgee @krissakabusi And again tonight in the prime time Christmas Day schedule!

[Adrian J O Smith @AdrianJOSmith]

@officejjsmart I remember being 9 years old spending Christmas with my grandparents and this was on the news and a topic of Christmas conversation learning all about it.

[Adrian J O Smith @AdrianJOSmith]

@ChrisDYork It’s the season of Christmas music in Metrograd and all the other shopping malls… that will last until about March 😄

@ralphineson Hi Ralph! Is there any news on when The First Omen might be out pls? Really looking forward to that - especially after seeing your performance in The Witch.

[Adrian J O Smith @AdrianJOSmith]

@aim_achievepod @SpyHards I saw him talk about it recently on a breakfast show. He claims he never wanted the part. Definitely a bit wooden if you ask me.

@BBCNews

[Adrian J O Smith @AdrianJOSmith]

@ProfBrianCox The problem with this whole topic is that there’s not enough evidence to conclude either way but human nature is too desperate to find an answer. It seems to
me that there’s a firm chance we might not be alone and an even bigger chance that other life is less developed than us.

[Adrian J O Smith @AdrianJOSmith]

@BBCNews It’s taken until 11am for BBC News to provide any coverage of the Crimea events/grain deal yet this is the top story on your website? Also your presenter referred to the “vital” bridge. The bridge is illegal and built by an illegal invader. It’s only vital to them.

@piersmorgan @dragonjones I thought it was Ant and Dec!

[Adrian J O Smith @AdrianJOSmith]

@afneil Wouldn’t know any of it from the BBC News channel this morning because we have to put up with BBC Breakfast

[Adrian J O Smith @AdrianJOSmith]

@BBCBreakfast I understand that you’re a magazine show - fine for BBC1 - but with major developing events in Russia, this show really has no place being simulcast on the @BBCNews channel with presenters jumping around pretending to be jockeys.
