Apparently 13 years ago today since @PeterAlanRoss interviewed me about Whitby Goth Weekend. Long time since we've been now - about 7 years I think... I'm not doing an interview about @BANGFACE! Sorry Peter!

Did I really hear @EMFTheBand name check @FourTet last night at their gig? Didn't expect my last two gigs to collide like that!

Prof Robert Langer speaking here was one of the Women’s Health Initiative study investigators - this study was misreported in both the medical press and media by a small group of the investigators (not him). These people had their own agenda but it is still unclear why they did this. This misreporting has lead to over two decades of unnecessary fear about HRT resulting in women needlessly suffering with both symptoms and health risks of not taking HRT. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

gofundme.com/dalryfriends Legal update: I am currently waiting for the court to set a date for the proof hearing. Legal fees: Unfortunately, I am behind on legal fees. The exact amount is unclear as it is spread across several invoices, but it totals several thousand pounds. To maintain my mental health, I have avoided calculating the precise total. Donations: It is very difficult to to keep asking for more donations. I want to assure everyone that I am also contributing to this fight. I have donated my Adult Disability Allowance for this month to the GoFundMe campaign and will continue to do so monthly if possible. Thank you all for your continued support.

15 gigs so far this year and @UtahSaints at @thetradesclub was the best yet. Absolutely amazing, ended up in the front row for most of it and danced like a loon. Can't wait to see them again @beardedtheory!

Oh no! Help a @Marvel fan get his wedding ring back! #Manchester what can you do?!
#Manchester - I need your help! Yesterday I ran the @Marathon_Mcr but I lost my wedding ring. I think it came off on Chester Road after the White City roundabout. This is a picture of the ring it has 'I love you 3000' inscribed inside it too. Plz help me get it back! #RT

Planning the warmest possible outfit for the @Fac51hacienda this evening given the weather forecast. All the thermal layers! I'm sure all the dancing will help keep us warm...

Great night out @The_Lowry seeing @QuizThePlay. Amazingly talented cast including @rorybremner as Chris Tarrant - perfectly played! Go and see it and cast your vote - guilty or not guilty?

In amongst grunge, dance music & the top 40 in the 90s, I also listened to Robbie. Being brought up on ceilidhs & Scottish country dancing it was just another genre of music in my eclectic taste that I loved. When I moved south I used to listen & get homesick😞 He'll be so missed
