@Abbanoa 36 ore senza acqua ora....che notizie c'e @Abbanoa ?

[Russ Hunter @Sorgono]

@Abbanoa Non abbiamo acqua da ieri pomeriggio. Qual è la tempistica per recuperarlo? Siamo un po' disperati adesso!

[Russ Hunter @Sorgono]

@Abbanoa A Sorgono (NU) siamo senza acqua da ieri pomeriggio. Possiamo avere una tempistica su quando lo recupereremo? La manutenzione avrebbe dovuto svolgersi ogni sera a partire dalle 22:00, ma è stata interrotta dal primo pomeriggio e non è ancora stata riattivata. #abbanoa

It was an honour to be shortlisted for a Shine award @NorthumbriaUni. We didn't win but it is a joy to work with these lovely people and we had a fabulous evening. A huge thanks to all involved!

For those who couldn't attend Horror Studies Now 2024, this video put together by @DrSteve_Jones wonderfully sums up the vibrant, engaging and collegiate nature of the conference.

Saw some fantastic horror shorts at @SundShortsFilm with @damienpollard. A huge congrats to all in involved and to @chrisjallan for a really engaging programmme and lovely evening. #sunderlandshorts #horrorNU

[Russ Hunter @Sorgono]

Very much looking forward to attending @SundShortsFilm and, in particular, seeing the Horror programme on Friday night at the Royalty Theatre. Very proud to see what former student Chris Allan (who is now making me feel very old) has done with the festival. #horrornu

🍿 And we’re off! What a great opening night at @FireStationSun to kick start Sunderland Shorts 2024. A massive thanks to the amazing audience, the fantastic filmmakers for sharing their work, local favourite @KellyScottRadio for hosting and BBC Look North for joining in the fun!

[Russ Hunter @Sorgono]

@Calbody @SundShortsFilm @chrisjallan Oh fab! Hope you see you there :-)

@sainsburys my grocery delivery hasn't turned up (it was due at 8am, it's now 8:51). Was chatting with customer services online and they were looking into it...then never came back to me.

[Russ Hunter @Sorgono]

@Suzieg19_ Ha! Yes that is the general tragedy of @sainsburys customer service

[Russ Hunter @Sorgono]

@sainsburys @Suzieg19_ Would be great if Sainsburys actually contacted us to tell us this. Awful service.

[Russ Hunter @Sorgono]

@sainsburys @BiggieS99 I just did this for my order (which also hasn't arrived) and the person started chatting and then just never replied!

[Russ Hunter @Sorgono]

A pleasure to talk with Nia Edwards-Behi, Chris Cook and Rob Nevitt about the UK genre film festival scene earlier this month. The recording is now available for anyone who missed it and would like to watch. #genrefestivals #horrornu @stonecypher

The future of the iconic Cinema Nova (and home of Offscreen Film Festival) is now secured following an impressive fundraising campaign. It has long been a space where non-mainstream and alternative cinema can have a home and be celebrated. #horrorNU

The trailer for this year's Offscreen Film Festival is better than even (and it is normally pretty amazing). There is a real art to doing these and Offscreen are masters of the craft. #Offscreen #HorrorStudiesResearchGroup @HorrorStudies
