Today is 40th anniv of me starting @AstonUniversity. I marked last Thu, 26/09, as 40th anniv of leaving home, moving to #Birmingham & campus #DaltonTower, but Mon 01/10/84 was start of lectures! (Pics taken 19/10/84.) #AstonUniversity @JuliaClark1 @jp1310 @LisaTw @saidkhan64

@ulstervilla1980 @andehsnewpriv @AVFCOfficial Yes, I was able to read that bit of the article too. The info about #BirminghamPride is still completely wrong.

[Chig @chigworld]

@andehsnewpriv @AVFCOfficial Part of this is nonsense. #BirminghamPride events are Friday evening, all day Saturday (including the Pride parade) & all day Sunday. There’s nothing happening on Monday 25th. Someone at #AVFC is hallucinating. @AVFCOfficial

Do you fancy seeing #Kraftwerk at #Wolverhampton #Civic this Thursday, 21/05? Come and join us! 🤖🤖🤖🤖
I’m selling TWO spare tickets to Kraftwerk - Multimedia Tour 2026 on Twickets (face value or less) https://t.co/wizbHgeXe8 #Twickets

@Bcfc1875123 @drhingram Of course she’s not the leader of the council, and she won’t be. She’s the new leader of the Labour group of councillors. The leader of 17 people.
We don’t yet have a #Birmingham council leader. That will be decided soon.

@thecubebham @ellrbrown From the balcony of The Library Of Birmingham. What do I win? 😉

[Chig @chigworld]

@YvetteCooperMP …and introduce preferential voting and proportional representation, so that this bonkers, random, dangerous way of deciding our representatives is never again imposed on the residents of England. Do it now!

@ShabanaMahmood I’m not sure which #Birmingham you’re talking about, but in the one where I live, we’re celebrating a diverse range of new councillors, and the rejection of the incompetent #Labour councillors who have wasted millions of our money & failed to collect any recycling for 14 months.

@lewis_goodall Update:

[Chig @chigworld]

Can’t wait until @KemiBadenoch watches #PMQs from 2 weeks ago and finds out what the warmongering #KemiBadenoch was saying! She’ll be horrified.

@Conservatives #TrumpsWar #WarOnIran #IranWar‌

[Jason Groves @JasonGroves1]

Kemi Badenoch says Donald Trump's 'childish' attacks on Keir Starmer have been 'quite shocking'. Says she is the PM's 'biggest critic' but adds: 'The last thing we need is a war of words - it's quite childish as well - between the White House and Downing Street.'

@DavidTaylor85 @glastonbury Amongst the things you might want to check out before tweeting any more nonsense;
1️⃣ The subtle differences between the name of the act and the names of the two band members.
2️⃣ The difference between ‘its’ and ‘it’s’.
3️⃣ When to use ‘an’ instead of ‘a’.

@PaulHeatonSolo I was an Aston student in 1986 and was at the #AstonUni gig, down the front with my camera. I have photos (somewhere) of you guys and His Latest Flame. Thanks for the reminder. I’m refusing to believe it was 40 years ago… #TheHousemartins

[Chig @chigworld]

@owenjonesjourno Maybe someone leaked Labour’s internal polling? 😄

#GortonAndDenton

[Chig @chigworld]

@sharrond62 Do you have a version of this in English?

[Chig @chigworld]

@HonestFrank @PaulHeatonSolo He slightly changed his surname and became a successful footballer.

[Chig @chigworld]

@scissorsisters @BlondieOfficial Isn’t it a bit too late to get tickets for your 2025 tour? Unless… Where are you playing tonight? 😄

[Chig @chigworld]

Congratulations! You’ve made it to day 9,131 of the 21st century & the final day of the century’s 1st quarter. Please leave your end of Q1 report here. Q2 objectives will be set at the start of Q2 tomorrow. #HappySecondQuarter #21stCenturyQ2 #HappyNewYear

@chai_t_grande Your answer does tend to create the real answer, so it’s close enough… 😉

[Chig @chigworld]

I’m old enough to remember when there was at least one person at the BBC who knew how to spell ‘calendars’ & would have stopped this horror from being broadcast. @McInTweet #MichaelMcIntyre #TheWheel #TheChristmasWheel @richardosman @PaddyMcGuinness @GylesB1

[Chig @chigworld]

From second last in #Strictly to winner of #TheWeakestLink, its redemption time! We have a new King of Christmas!🤴
Congratulations @TheRossKing on beating your pudding. (Not a euphemism.) @BBCOne
