NASA @NASA have recorded the sound of a black hole and it sounds like one of my Soundscapes paintings, landscapes you can hear as well as see. https://t.co/NNp74vhMNY

@alexisvicki @bkakbrainrot My mate used to go into a famous fast food restaurant just to use the toilet, that were for customers only, a ‘McShit’ he called it. If he was confronted by a staffer about if he were truly a customer, it would become a ‘McShit with Lies’!

Now I’ve noticed songs I have ‘Downloaded’ accidentally because the download button is next to Play on playlists and albums, arghhh, you can’t delete downloads as albums or playlists, you have to do it track by track, @AppleMusic you are making me think of leaving… #Spotify

[Phil Hackett Artist @xwidep]

I want @AppleMusic to make it easier to play my own music, it’s the only reason I use it, my own library of songs & playlists, they are now the furthest down the chain of button presses to start playing music - If I wanted to listen to someone else’s I would tune into the radio!!

@constantwhine I went for @Kaiser_Philhelm in the end

[Phil Hackett Artist @xwidep]

I have only gone and got myself a new job, this time next month I become the General Manager of the King Richard III Visitor Centre, VisitLeicester the Tourist Information Centre and Jewry Wall the Roman Centre of Britain.
Not sure though whether to adopt a Royal or Roman title?

[Phil Hackett Artist @xwidep]

@constantwhine Love it, portmanteau of King and Caesar

[Phil Hackett @Kaiser_Philhelm]

This #EnglishTourismWeek26 I’m reflecting on the dedicated people that work hard to exceed visitors expectations, every week, proud to work/to have worked with so many of you. I also found this from the inaugural British Tourism Week back in 2007 @bernarddonoghue @backborwick
