After joining in Jan 2008, being recognised as an influential tweeter at uni and making friends at conferences through here, I now hardly post at all.
Slightly more active on Threads and Reddit now.
See https://t.co/eFfb9iOMOm to see where else I am.

I've moved Bluesky to replace Twitter on my home screen in an effort for me to look at it more often. Feel free to follow me there.

However I'm using Threads more than Bluesky at the moment.

@valeonmymind @altontowers Those tables also look very close together. No space to move, run around or dance!

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

This is rather funny, and where I used to live up to when I went to uni. It's a very strange place at times, and John Hayes hasn't really helped its public image!

“We just can’t shake Sir John!”

We spent an hour being tailed by the local MP in the 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵 Tory seat as @lewis_goodall tried to find anyone who’ll be voting for him…

Chris's character in The Big Door Prize gifts his wife puffins all the time.

Is there a Chris O'Dowd Puffin-verse which we don't know about?!

@BigBoyler

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

My wife has been watching Puffin Rock on @netflix with our daughter recently.

We've also got back into The Big Door Prize on @AppleTV with the new season 2.

Chris O'Dowd (@BigBoyler) narrates Puffin Rock and stars in The Big Door Prize.

@chrisukstevens It was, of course, my Southern wife who suggested Big & Rich. Although it took me several listens to get the gist of it... 😳

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

For "Help A Horse Day" this week, I played "Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)" by Big & Rich on my radio show.

How this might apply to other modes of transport...

✈️ Skip The Plane (Ride A Pilot)
🚢 Jump Ship (Sail The Captain)
🚕 Cancel The Uber (Tip The Driver)

For some reason, someone liked this tweet of mine from 2011. I guess it's because of @antanddec's #SaturdayNightTakeaway finale.
Man, I'm going to miss SNT.

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

Matt Berry also voices for Ant & Dec's Push The Button which is also on tonight! :)

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

@ItsPreeceyHere Where's this midday rule come from anyway? And do people care?

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

It's Good Friday! So from 9pm tonight, I will be playing just the 'goodest' songs of all time for you! As well as two fresh new tracks and a look back at this week. The Today Show, 9-11pm every Friday, only on @PCRSTUDIO.

@katergraham We've got an 8 month old and we've chosen not to post her name or face online, despite having lots of international family. Happy to share why we've chosen to do that.

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

@PaulNCook Thinking of you and all your colleagues this week. Praying that you are honoured well in processes and that whatever the next season holds for you, it's the best it can be.

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

@WisewordRadio Didn't realise we moved in the same events production circles! I worked on NWG's results on the virtual side the other week. Each quarter comes around quicker than the last!

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

@ColinRoitt Which is surprisingly few when talking about The American Idol Experience!

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

@TobyWoody The internet. PCR get the Posh+ audio feed and has permission to rebroadcast it, which is against the terms of use for everyone else.

[Oliver Needham @OliverNeedham]

@historyhaze1 That would explain why we couldn't get a delivery last night apart from directly with a restaurant. I had no idea!

If a baby falling asleeping on you stops you from doing anything, that's called a nap trap.

If you're breastfeeding and it stops you from doing other things, it must be called a boobie trap.

@PoliticsPboro What makes you so sure that May is the election month? I've seen suggestions that it won't be until the 2nd half of the year, so maybe November. Ultimately, it hasn't been announced, so no-one really knows! (Unless, of course, you do 😆)

Do AirPort Time Capsule devices still work with Apple Silicon devices?

Someone local is selling an AirPort Time Capsule, 3rd Gen (late 2009), and I'm unsure if it will work with my MacBook Pro, Apple Silicon, running macOS Ventura.
