@BristolChoral Sublime singing tonight - but why on earth cut the magnificent sequence between messiah pts 24-26? Surely / and with his stripes / we like sheep - one of the greatest choral suites in the canon - and we got none of it 🥲
@TravWriters On the hunt for a writer with good recent knowledge of Spain's Basque country - Bilbao, San Sesbatian and the interior. 1500 word guide for Boundless magazine (print) for a Jan deadline. Please reply to THIS account (@danlinstead) with creds.
NB already posted this to a mysterious new account that X seems to have created for me - if you see that one, please ignore and reply to this thread. Thanks!
@TimesRadio Zero sympathy for NHS consultants. Wages have been depressed vs inflation in all sectors for the last decade - why should some of the most lavishly paid people in the country hold the rest to ransom?
3/3 Yet another example of the embarrassingly poor transport infrastructure this city suffers. No wonder everyone drives, making an already polluting trip even worse @BristolAirport@darrenpjones
1/3 Just flown from Edinburgh (pop roughly 500k) to Bristol (pop roughly 500k). In Edinburgh I hopped on a super frequent, modern airport tram for £7.50 and was at the airport in minutes.
@Ryan_S_Gladwin Hi Ryan - thanks. It looks like your work is mainly for the US market - this is for a UK, 55+ mainstream audience. Are you in UK and familiar with the market here?
#journorequest Seeking an established personal finance journalist to turn around a short consumer piece on alternative investments (whisky, art) in 10 days. 50p a word. Anyone out there not maxed out writing about the budget / COL crisis?
@TimesRadio How does the extraordinary wealth of senior doctors with their £1m+ pension pots (most of us can only dream…) tally with the extraordinary poverty of junior doctors on the picket line? Surely the latter will, in time, become the former?
@j_amesmarriott Greatly enjoyed. Geoff Dyer always a pleasure. The musician analogy is very apt - sports people too. Only writers dread the thing they love.
