I am not there anymore.

@ronnytodgers John. I love your love of heat pumps. And your pedantry. I KNEW you'd be along to comment on this. Never change, brother.

[Ed Baines @Ed_Baines]

@bluenoterecords At last! Thank you 🙏

[Ed Baines @Ed_Baines]

@johnauthers As a British fan of the Red Sox, I share your sentiments entirely, John. A wise and familiar voice in a world of constant flux. (I'll feel the same on the sad day - hopefully decades hence - that you stop commentating on financial markets.)

@ft_content 64% of CEOs think that because they've been told to think that by... companies like PwC. And who can help those CEOs "transform... to survive"? Might it perhaps be... PwC?

@WilliamChislet3 Thanks so much for the recommendation, William. Until his sad and untimely departure, Javier Marias was the main Spanish writer I read (in translation; my Spanish is poor). So there's a sudden void. Perhaps Antonio's work will help to fill it.

@AnthonyHH @TUIGroup Anthony! Seize the means of production and end this crime. The Weatherall 12-inch mix of Weekender should redress the balance.

[Ed Baines @Ed_Baines]

@RRussellDavies A lack of choice in the local card shop, perhaps? Congratulations to you both anyway. (You're still much missed on R2, by the way. Commissioners! Bring back the Song Show!)

[Ed Baines @Ed_Baines]

@rocking_bob Me too, Bob. Part of the scaffolding holding up the weekend is missing without it.

[Ed Baines @Ed_Baines]

@ben_watt @BBC6Music They've been brilliant, Ben. So much new stuff I hadn't heard. Thanks so much to you both 🙏

[Ed Baines @Ed_Baines]

@tracey_thorn @BBC6Music These have been brilliant, Tracey. Thanks to you and Ben for opening my ears to such beautiful music. It's what 6Music was made for. Thank you.

100% FUNDED!

Empty Wigs is at least five books in one: a giddinesss-inducing 900 page masterpiece which will cement Jonathan Meades' reputation as one of the great literary writers of our age.

@nsandi It's not saving, though, is it? It's a strange form of gambling with terrible odds. One of my grans bought some premium bonds for me in 1977; the other bought me some in 1981. The return in that period? Zero percent. Zero.

[Benj @benjhibee]

This really is - and I say this with no hyperbole - the greatest poem I have ever read. Written over 3 months in the final weeks before WW2 as London awaits the inevitable- the folly of it all, the absurdity, the human fragility in the midst of the terror. Thanks @BacklistedPod

[Ed Baines @Ed_Baines]

@ben_watt Just walked past a guy on my street, sitting alone in his car, listening to this beautiful wonder on his stereo. Such sorrow. Such joy. And Tracey's voice here is... astonishing. Looking forward to hearing from you both again next year, Ben. Merry Christmas!

@ronnytodgers Johnny. A driver of your preternatural abilities and recklessness should be able to squeeze into either of those spots with ease. Close your eyes. Use the Force. Use your bumpers; it's what they're there for.💥

@bluenoterecords Please repress Duke Pearson's "Wahoo". Thank you.

@gidcoe A jubilee offers the opportunity to catch up with your splendid show of middle eights. Thanks and best wishes from a middle-aged, middle-eight addict.
