Good morning Nottingham. I'm on my way to my Station Street pitch with this week's impressive @BigIssue . I'm there from 6:30am. I urge you all today to vote, don't care who for but please exercise the right that many fought hard to get us.

Apologies to my brilliant customers for my non appearance today. My regulars will know I've been rather ill recently so today I'm treating myself to some medical assistance. Back tomorrow at 6:30am.

@FerociousDog sorry guys, shoulda tagged you in so you could see my comment.

Massive thanks to Ken and all the crew of Ferocious Dog for an amazing day, and biggest thanks of all to your wonderful fans, you've all rocked my world.

On this day in 1877, the first ever voice recording was made when Thomas Edison recorded himself reciting Mary had a little lamb. Also, in 1768, the first edition of encyclopedia Britannica was published in Scotland.

@BillieHuman hiya Billie. If ya into the levellers as am I, check out a Nottingham band called Ferocious Dog. Levellers worked with them on last album, very similar. I'm selling issue at their gig on Saturday.

That was the hardest day I've done on @BigIssue . Should have had day off but hey ho. Big thanks to Zandra for the gin, and to Stacey for the vodka, that's my birthday sorted 😁

[Bigissuegraham @bigissuegraham]

Vets in the Community have a small feature in this week's @BigIssue . Read all about the work of these real life superheroes.

[Bigissuegraham @bigissuegraham]

Feeling awful this morning. Terrible cold or flu, and lots of lumps appeared in soft tissues. Still going to work mind, if anyone can raise my spirits, it's my wonderful customers.

Today in 1971, a flare set the Montreux Casino alight during a Frank Zappa concert. This act is immortalised by Deep Purple in the rock classic Smoke on the Water.

[Bigissuegraham @bigissuegraham]

Special thanks to the band for inviting me to work at their gig on Saturday, it's a great opportunity. A great way to start celebrating my 50th birthday. Can't name band now, but will on Saturday

[Bigissuegraham @bigissuegraham]

Good morning Nottingham. I'm on my way to my Station Street pitch with this week's brilliant @BigIssue featuring Bob the Cat. There is also an interview with John Barrowman, I'm sure I speak for us all in wishing John a speedy recovery. Love from @BigIssue to @JohnBarrowman

@FerociousDog I was given your details by Chris from the Nottingham Big Issue office. I sell the magazine at Nottingham station and was wondering if I could vend at your Dogfest event on 7/12/2019. Chris will be present as he has his ticket. I am a sober, articulate man. Thankyou

@PapaJohns @BigIssue Thank you to Papa Johns for sponsoring this week's awesome @BigIssue . Your raising funds for crisis is brilliant and I'd also thank you for the pizzas sent to our office on Monday. Merry Christmas.

Today is Lancashire Day. Intended to commemorate the day in 1295 when Lancashire first sent representatives to the "model parliament" . It was called the model parliament because it was the first legally elected legislature involving commoners.

[Bigissuegraham @bigissuegraham]

@johnbirdswords @johnbirdswords Isn't it time we moved to the Australian system and made voting compulsory? We would get a parliament of the people, for the people and may even smash this two party system that keeps the elite in power.
