@monstroso @Waterstones Wonderful building! It was great to see you all last night. I wanted to ask, was there any particular reason you filmed many outside sketches around the north east?

Early tea at @Manjitskitchen today with the boys - vada pavs, thali, no bhajis left but samosas banging. There was an Indian food festival so took home some mithai from stall run by Suraj Sweets - (newish?) on Woodsley Green in Hyde Park, must check it out https://t.co/zsDKpD8tA2

@TyneFlashback @My_Metro Would love to see a video of the original Metro ticket machines. Have found photos e.g. https://t.co/CBOvziKV2B but would love to hear the clunky noises of the ticket being issued again.

@TyneFlashback From Clara Vale.

[Ben Pollinger @benpollinger]

@Ziggys_Duck Who could possibly object.

[Ben Pollinger @benpollinger]

@JeansAndSheux Polished shoes, polished timing.

@digitonal Getting that Christmas Eve feeling, hoping for some Portillo-esque presents...
