Today marks 20 years since my first day in journalism – my first day in a proper job, even. As an attempted distraction to Coronavirus, here are some of the highlights. I hope it's not too boring, but also that is jogs a few memories for others in the 'game'. 1/

@MotoClark It honestly wouldn't surprise me if he switched the military support from Ukraine to Russia.

@ozytone @BrightonAthlete @parkrunUK A legend of parkrun and running in general. A fitting tribute to the amazing gentleman at @brightonparkrun this morning. I wouldn't have missed it for anything.

@ScottMBrownlee I never said it was, mainly because you said to leave that aside. I was merely adding some context to your question.

@AccidentalP Would get more viewers if it was an ACTUAL bear...

@thealexbear @FitzroyMotor Clearly they don't, but they do (I'm assuming) read stories based on press releases. Many of which, having just had a look at the original pieces from November, stated that a concept car would be unveiled in Miami. So the normal people clearly DIDN'T pay attention 😂

[John Challen @Johnchallen]

@thealexbear @FitzroyMotor The original release on 18th November stated the 'first global public installation' of the new Jaguar brand would be 'a Design Vision Concept', unveiled on 2 December.

Difficult to be clearer than that!

[John Challen @Johnchallen]

@ScottMBrownlee Not really. A quick look at that feed shows there's plenty of Labour 'bashing' too...

@nowthisimpact Nothing about stopping school shootings, then?

@SimonBranney You tease!

@PistonBroker @DefundBBC Not sure about Vine, but Maitlis left the BBC in 2022...

@estellecostanza He looks awful. And miserable!

@Scrof Great work mate. What's#MuddyBit in Welsh? 🤔

@atrupar Trump lying is nothing new. I just can't believe people a) believe it or b) call it out of they don't believe it.

"It's true!" No mate. It's really not.

@estellecostanza I'm assuming it's all the fault of the Democrats/Joe Biden/Harris? 😂

[John Challen @Johnchallen]

One morning, two EVs.

Very different...

@atrupar If he doesn't know about them, how does he know about them (and where they are)? 🤔

@Rylan I flick the Vs to drivers who don't stop at the crossings. Especially when I've been there for a while and they've seen me! It's not my fault they are driving too fast to stop safely!

However, I'll always say thank you to drivers who DO stop (even though they should anyway 🤣)
