@andy_wigley hi Andy, not sure if you're on here still but wanted to let you know that Pete Vickers died last week after a short illness. We're all shocked and sad.

@benmarsh hi Ben, I don't think Bluesky posts are showing up in the UK snow map this evening

.@bbc5live for gawds sake, get a grip, STOP TALKING ALL AT ONCE

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

Quite liked some of the early work by Joe Hart on @5liveSport, but now he's coming over as a bit of a berk

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

Hey @bbc5live , please can you remind your presenters that we don't listen for every minute all day. You've just mentioned an incident with Shane Lowery - Without Explaining What Happened. Aaaaagh

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

@northernassist #65034 audio announcements on this service are very broken, as are announcements on many of your other trains.

As a HoH traveller this is getting very frustrating.

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

@northernassist The information screens on plat 2 at HTC are still showing last night's services.

@dee_jay2020 Well, there's a coincidence.... up next #forgotten80s

.@5liveSport please someone send Adam Crafton a microphone. It's simply not acceptable you expecting a laptop mic to be sufficient for a contributor to an hour+ show. You're letting hearing impaired listeners down.

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

Come on @BBCNews - it's a Power Cut not an outage, please use English rather than American.

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

@bbc5live yeah this is a real waste of radio. Please stop

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

@___Quagmire___ Oooo where are they on?

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

@5liveSport can you remind your contributors that they should never go more than two sentences using the term "he" without mentioning the man's name. Very frustrating, this is getting worse.

Holy smoke, Louisiana Chicken is sooo much better than fried chicken from KY

@DaryllPitcher @CsabaSzekely7 @TerribleMaps The circular one is not a standard UK sign. Used occasionally on private land but you'd never see it on a road.

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

@TerribleMaps Shouldn't the UK and Ireland ones point the other way?

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

@WoodlandTrust But none of those channels are micro blogs. You should be on at least one of Bluesky or Threads.

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

Hey @bbc5live , please stop using the phrase "outage", when you mean "power cut" or "IT failure". It's such an ugly word and has no place in proper English.

Soggy soggy soggy #forgotten80s

[Rick Garner @RikGarner]

Not a facebuck user so I don't understand why changes were required for #forgotten80s engagement. Any clues?
