Great memories of great radio days, seeing Pat and Mick on #totp Sharp and Brown, the hottest act in town…the glory days of 95.8 Capital FM. What an inspiration to a wannabe radio presenter! @patsharp @djmickbrown 👊🏼📻

I’ve Had The Time Of My F’ing Life, from Dirty Dancing. Actually a good song, but ruined by radio over-play, to the point that it makes me scream 😱

[Tim Oldland @Timoldland]

What songs can you simply NOT listen to? They instantly make you skip the track or change station? For me there are only two.

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

Dexy’s Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen

The 2nd particularly is so terrible and ingrained into my brain from attending a glut of 80s and 90s family weddings that I simply cannot allow it in my ears.

How was it 0-1 at HT, but ‘0-0’ at 90+3? 🤔

Our final change of the afternoon.

90+3' | 🐶0-0👑

@Blamhappy Me too…pathetic!

[Robert Kenny @RobKennyReading]

Fixed, after ‘just’ 40 minutes of silence. Well done! 🤣👍🏼

Hi @ITV It sounds like someone’s forgotten to fade-up the sound for ITV1 HD…as in, it’s silent apart from the ads?! Non HD is ok, but needs sorting?! (I know it’s a @SkySportsPL feed you’re re-broadcasting, maybe it’s sabotage?!) 😂 ⚽️ #ARSMCI

[Robert Kenny @RobKennyReading]

@Blamhappy @ITV @SkySportsPL Don’t know if it’s the same for you, I’ve got HD on one channel (103) and non-HD on another (3). They’ve put up an apology now, so hopefully they’re onto it?!

BRIAN MAY QUIETLY WALKED INTO A SMALL RESCUE SHELTER ON THE BRINK OF CLOSING — WITH JUST 48 HOURS LEFT BEFORE EVERY CAT INSIDE WOULD BE PUT DOWN

The bills were overdue. Donations had dried up. The owner had run out of options. In less than 48 hours, 39 cats were scheduled to be euthanized—not because they were sick or aggressive, but because there was nowhere left for them to go.

Then, without cameras, a film crew, or any announcement, Brian May walked through the door.

Known to millions as the legendary guitarist of Queen and a lifelong animal-rights advocate, Brian didn’t ask for recognition. He didn’t lead with his iconic status. Dressed simply, with his familiar calm presence, he walked straight to the back of the shelter—to the quietest row of enclosures, where the oldest and weakest cats lay unnoticed.

There, curled up in the corner of a worn blanket, was an 11-year-old tabby mix named Buddy.

Too tired to lift his head.
Too old to be adopted.
Too close to the end.

Brian knelt beside him, his gentle hands resting softly on the cat’s head. He spoke quietly, careful not to startle him. For several moments, he said nothing at all. Then he looked up at the owner and asked softly,

“How many cats are here?”

“Thirty-nine,” the owner replied, her voice breaking.

Brian nodded. No hesitation. No phone calls to assistants. He said calmly—with a steady certainty that stilled the room:

“All 39 cats deserve a future.”

What followed felt unreal to the shelter staff. The very next morning, delivery trucks began arriving.

New bedding and climate-safe flooring.
High-quality food and medical supplies.
Scratching posts, grooming stations, and enrichment areas.

Every enclosure was repaired and restored. All outstanding debts were paid in full. Veterinarians were brought in to examine every single animal. Above each enclosure, a small wooden sign appeared: “Forever home — with love from Brian.”

But the moment that brought everyone to tears came from the quietest corner of the room. Buddy was being lifted gently for a checkup when Brian stepped forward.

“I’ll take him,” he said.

The room went silent. Buddy—overlooked for a decade—finally belonged.

“He’s waited long enough,” Brian said later, a soft smile on his face. “I think it’s time he came home.”

Brian May didn’t post about it. He didn’t mention it on stage. He didn’t call the press. The story surfaced days later when a volunteer, overwhelmed by what she’d witnessed, decided people needed to know.

He didn’t just save a shelter.
He didn’t just save cats.
He saved 39 lives—and reminded the world that compassion doesn’t need applause.

Sometimes, the greatest acts of kindness happen when the spotlight is off.

His kind of music wasn’t my kind, but big respect for someone who achieved so much and was adored by so many. I really enjoyed his humour in their tv show, and could see the love❤️ #RIPOzzy

@PortsmouthWater Is pressure in #Tangmere going to be restored anytime soon? Told it would be sorted yesterday, but over 24 hours later, shower/upstairs taps have nothing. Downstairs pressure not sufficient. Not good enough. Guess our bill will ‘reduce’ by 60% like your service?

@l_h2022 @phildelves @ReadingFC anatomically correct. He also lived for another 43 years, enjoying continuing success as a sculptor & later creating a statue of Queen Victoria (1887) & George Palmer (1891). He retired from sculpting in 1903 & worked in the family business, eventually becoming chairman in 1910.

[Robert Kenny @RobKennyReading]

@l_h2022 @phildelves @ReadingFC That’s an urban myth…we ‘investigated’ (!) it on the radio once…
‘Rumours persist that Simonds committed suicide on learning that the lion's gait was incorrectly that of a domestic cat. In fact, he made careful observations on lions at London Zoo and the stance was (cont’d)

@deaconbluemusic So sorry to hear this, and so glad we managed to see him doing what he so clearly loved with you guys, last time round in Edinburgh. 💔#RIPJimPrime

Just been told my delivery of a package which includes a glass picture frame and is clearly marked FRAGILE with a big red sticker, has been dropped over our 6ft garden fence onto concrete. Thanks @RoyalMail, it better not be damaged when I get home 😡
