@NewsMutt @Katie_Cronin @BarnieChoudhury Bah, I missed this. Late to the law party. I’m detoxing from X a bit. I take it they changed it?

[StoryHub Derby @StoryHubDerby]

'It's complete carnage, it's mental, it's lovely' - our @StoryHubDerby reporters Alice Parkerson and Vanessa Jackson have been speaking to Swedish YouTubers Randommakingmovies about what it's like to attend #Shrovetide in #Ashbourne for the first time

[Alex Canner 🎤🎧 @alexgetsaround]

@kds107 Haha! Not sure you know how this works. I won’t charge you for the ad. 😂😉
Thanks for the follows and support btw. 🫶

[Alex Canner 🎤🎧 @alexgetsaround]

The student becomes the master! So much fun sharing #Shrovetide live commentary with my former radio journalism student @oscfisher for @StoryHubDerby and @derbyshire_live. Been told our fence-hopping catastrophes are worth a second listen alone 😂. Commentary still there.

[Alex Canner 🎤🎧 @alexgetsaround]

@ValUHDBGovernor It was! The weather helped. ☀️People stayed out when the sun went down too, so that was great! 🫶

“They pushed the car down the ally to get to the ball! I couldn’t believe it!” Shah Alam of Red Chili restaurant in #Ashbourne filmed the aftermath in amazement as players took seconds to shove a car out of the way to play on. @StoryHubDerby #Shrovetide2025

The annual post proclaiming my jealousy for BBC Radio's budgets...

[Alex Canner 🎤🎧 @alexgetsaround]

@matt I do this as a quiz in my lecture. The shock on my young students’ faces when I reveal the R4 budget. Gets them every year. 😃

LOVED ❤️ the docco about #XFM on #Prime. I listened from my crap flat in #Luton in ‘97, 😂loved the indie DJs like @thesturge. Knew your music, turned up to pre-famous Britpop gigs and alike, broadcast live with passion and spoke to ME. You all connected. Thank you! ❤️

[Alex Canner 🎤🎧 @alexgetsaround]

@PaulStainton @leedsjourno 😂 groundbreaking

[Alex Canner 🎤🎧 @alexgetsaround]

@leedsjourno I thought this was a parody. 😂Without stating the bleedin obvious that this is obviously live radio, what do they call it when you listen to this prog again? “The Newscast live podcast podcast” ? 🤷‍♂️

[Alex Canner 🎤🎧 @alexgetsaround]

God.

This is the reality of what women in public service regularly face and will remain to face in our future unless we confront abusive men who feel they have a right to intimidate women. Bless that these men think they could shout Jess down ⬇️

[Alex Canner 🎤🎧 @alexgetsaround]

@tarasis @emmaroc33249448 @theJeremyVine My favourite reply. 😂Forward to this, a shallow dive shows a full house of conspiracy and weird.
