@scott_mills once said years ago when I was mentally unwell
“If you ever feel theres no one there or you feel lost or if you feel there is nothing good around you
I’ll say one thing to you, turn on the radio”
I turned on the radio
Thank you Scott ❤️🩹

@sarajcox I went out at 16, managed to get in to the pub and then once over the threshold exclaimed loudly (too loudly!) “wow I can’t believe they let me in…..I’m only 16!) and promptly got removed 😂
@LearNonsense Totally agree. My son just can’t do it at the speed the government demand on him and it’s destroying his confidence. I can still whole heartedly remember being shamed in primary school in front of all of my peers for not knowing one of mine. I’m nearly 40.
@drkathrynmannix This is fascinating. I also lost a sibling, I am now an only child. Not having a word to describe it make it unspeakable & further isolating. It comes up in conversation more often than I anticipated “do you have any siblings” = ending up having to go into a painful narrative.
@AFrazerWicks @FamilyRightsGp I saw you speak last year in Sheffield for Frontline. It will stay with me for life and importantly will influence my practice for life. I am genuinely delighted for you, so well deserved. Congratulations!
I hate this narrative that Arsenal bottled it. They have pushed one of the PL’s greatest ever teams all the way, and done it with a young coach and young players who finished 5th last season. It’s nothing but a success. They fell short, they’ll be stronger for it
When we worked together at Ch4, Paul O’Grady insisted that new roles on his show were advertised in the local Job Centre. He wanted anyone and everyone to be able to apply so they could get a break like he had. And it made the show better. A kind and generous man.
If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service
There are very few good father role models in society. However, Bluey's Dad has turned my life around. I am genuinely a better father and husband now I pause and think, what would Bluey's Dad do.
