David Bowie's LIFE ON MARS? was recorded 50 years ago on this very day! Link to my 10-minute tribute video. https://t.co/Fc0p6uZrHy Ends with me playing (most) of @GrumpyOldRick's famous notes which took months to transcribe. @DavidBowieReal @davidbowie_news @rickbeato 🍾Cheers!

@ColinMurray Hey! A friend said he’d heard I got a mention on your football anthems feature with regard to Huddersfield Town and ‘Smile Awhile’ I guess. Is there any way I could get to hear it please? Best wishes! 😊👍🏻 ⚽️

@Leemorris__ @hojh1994 @htafc Hi guys. I might check the legalities of putting my nine club videos on YouTube at some point, but with so much archive footage and music, it might be problematic. Best wishes. 👍🏻😊

RIP Terry Yorath. A great football man with wonderful Welsh spirit & sense of humour. Even though he played for Leeds, he's a treasure round these parts for his part in Huddersfield Town & Peter Jackson's 1998 'Great Escape'. Here are the out-takes from my club video. @htafc

@SMExaminer @KirkleesCouncil First vehicle casualty of 2026 down Bank End Road HD7 4JN. £35,000 worth of Kia for the sake of 50 quid’s worth of grit. The car has now been there for 3 days causing chaos. When removed, the wall and road are likely to collapse. 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😳

Stanley Baxter. Brilliantly funny, incredibly clever, and a technical innovator in comedy production like no-one before or since. Only five months before your telegram from the King, what a sensational innings, you treasure of a man. RIP. 🙏🏻😊

[Simon Normington @simonjjn]

Utterly ridiculous position for the @DPWorldTour graphics on @SkySports. Some of us still watch on TVs!! On smaller receivers, the cut-off will be even more extreme than seen here! 🤦🏻‍♂️ If you want to know where to put graphics, please call me! @sandeepsrikanth exhibit N. 🤷‍♂️🤨 🤡

@robinuch Dear Sir, I would be very grateful if you could email me with regard to some art direction work you did on a music project in 1988! Best wishes [email protected]

[Simon Normington @simonjjn]

@bbcquestiontime The placement of the QUESTIONS in no-man’s-land is intrusive, distracting and utterly ridiculous. 🤡 🤦🏻‍♂️⬇️

[Simon Normington @simonjjn]

@skynewsSam @SkyNews Fair do. Good on yer! No police charges will be brought. 😊🙏🏻 🎥

[Simon Normington @simonjjn]

@skynewsSam were the @SkyNews camera department having a cup of tea and slice of cake? Best wishes. Headroom 👮

This Channel 4 four-parter is utterly compelling, brilliantly produced and loads of very baddies get their just desserts. Big time! Bravo to @Channel4 and Sophie Oliver and all at THE GARDEN. 👏🏻 👍🏻😊

“Five years in the making, this is true crime like you’ve never seen it before. From the makers of 24 Hours in Police Custody and Attack on London, Operation Dark Phone: Murder by Text is the inside story of one of the biggest law enforcement operations to bring down organised crime groups, by hacking into a dark phone network used to run drugs, sell guns and plan violent attacks.”

@Ryanair flight from Knock in Ireland was due in Liverpool at 17.15. Arrivals board blank. The helpdesk man says the OPS dept have no idea what’s going on. https://t.co/CzOZRuHg9t suggests the plane has arrived! My friend just called to say he’s still in departures. 🍫 🫖

@LPL_Airport I know John Lennon liked a rollie, but I am sure he’d be disgusted by the sight of 1,000s of fag ends on the roadsides at his airport. What a welcome to Liverpool! 🚬 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Simon Normington @simonjjn]

@martinborgars @BBCSport I think your TV is buggered or the kids have been playing with the remote! Are the players not blue too? The score graphic has bright white text is arguably over-big, over-bold and inelegant. Best wishes.

[Simon Normington @simonjjn]

Hail! Town!! Thrice Champions!!! 🙏🏻😊

[Simon Normington @simonjjn]

@slaterSP73 @BAFTA Agreed. Absolutely embarrassing. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️
