@Andrew_SW @carlosradioguy @airchecks @piratefm LOL - I notice that this showreel contains the "in Buffalo" tag at 2:16. This was left over from a re-sing for another client and, of course, was remixed (or should that be un-remixed) before the package went to air!

@PChryssikos @airchecks @piratefm Lots of great memories Philip :-)

[Mike Powell @MikePowellUSA]

@PaulChantler Yes, unfortunately I do!

A #bbcnews reporter says a U.S. politician has made “unproven allegations". An allegation implies that the claim has been made before proof is available. So “unproven allegation” is, at best, tautology. At worst, it is opinion. A "proven allegation” would not be an allegation!

@Lockie_Chapman What a great choice for Christmas 😀 Thanks Lockie. Can't wait until Jean and I can board a 747 and head over from JFK once again to attend a Lockie Chapman concert (well, maybe we will be boarding an Airbus A350 lol)

According to @FoxNews the Queen has only made three Christmas addresses in nearly seven decades. So who was that impostor that I've watched every Christmas pretty much my entire life? We should be told!

Memories of the great Lynne Truss book, "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" with this current BBC online headline: "The airport for celebrities you never knew existed". My obvious reaction: Then how could they be celebrities?

[Mike Powell @MikePowellUSA]

@MurphyMyke @nickowentv @tonyblackburn Totally agree. This latest series has a background soundtrack virtually all of the time - even when there is no real tension to be emphasising. Unfortunately it often obscures the dialogue. I'm sitting with the remote control all the time, pressing up and down every few seconds!

@Delta Last passengers off delayed flight into JFK T2. Our bags taken off carousel and locked away before we could get there. No-one has a key!! 3am...now told, wait until morning!!

Top 5 Current Lemming Words: Still @ #1, LIKE (as in, “I was like, she was like...”); New at #2, SUPER (Replacing "very" as in, “It was super-difficult, super-easy, super-sad etc.”); #3, SO (when starting a sentence); #4, AWESOME; #5, CURATED (instead of, “chosen”).

BBC correspondent James Landale, says of Trump's UK visit, "he gets to pick a fight with a liberal, Muslim politician that will play well with his base". (note, not just "liberal politician"). Trump gets called out for making baseless claims-disturbing to see BBC doing the same.

@tonyblackburn @YouTube Alan was such an important part of the original County Sound Radio network and the development of @ukrd . Sincere, enthusiastic, passionate. It was great to catch up with him around 18 months ago. He will be sadly missed by all of us who had the honour of working with him.,

@mike_crawshaw @KerryCrawshaw Brilliant pic. :-)

Top 3 Current Lemming Words: #1 "Like" (as in "I was like..."); #2 "So" when used to start every sentence in an interview; #3 "Curated" used in pretentious marketing instead of "Chosen". (BTW "Curated" just replaced "Awesome" which slips to #4; Still at #5 is "Jus" (menu word).

I realised today that I could never be a TV presenter or acceptable interviewee these days. I don't wave my arms around enough!

On an @Emirates flight last night from JFK to Dubai, listened to @tonyblackburn presenting Emirates new Soul Show. Great music, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, warm, one-to-one presentation. Been a fan since Big L days. A total legend and a complete pro.

[Mike Powell @MikePowellUSA]

So impressed with the new @the_overtones album. Great mix of songs, incredible vocal and orchestral arrangements. Such power and passion. A stunning achievement. Timmy's much anticipated contribution is a wonderful heartwarming kiss goodnight. Daz, Lachie, Mark, Mike - brilliant.
