Well it’s been an odd few days but I just wanted to say thanks for all your kind tweets. I spoke to the big man today as he wandered the sultry streets of Singapore and much as we’re both excited about our new projects, we’re quite simply going to miss hanging out each morning!
So a couple of things after today’s show.
1. Personally gutted...
2. ...but excited for a very special friend.
3. Plan to enjoy every show that we have left together because this has been just the best fun.
4. Thank you

Steve Wright in the afternoon was different to all the other radio that I could listen to growing up in the late 80s and early 90s. A huge influence on my love for what I feel grateful to do now. Only now do I fully appreciate how slick and effortless he made all his work sound.
At the age of 41, hangovers seem to last all day now. Is it time to hang up the drinking boots? Even the stair gate being rattled nearly tipped me over the edge this weekend...
Wife has just put £47.68 of fuel in the car. Yet this didn’t fill it up. The fact this number is not rounded and the tank not full stresses me out way more than it should.
3 years ago today I went on a first date. It went well. Tomorrow morning I’ll be back on air with

after celebrating becoming a Dad again thanks to the girl with the green top and black skirt ❤️
Since hearing the sad news about Prince Phillip my thoughts keep ending up focusing on loss and grief. No matter who we in this world it’s something we all have to endure. RIP
Headphones packed away until 4th January 2021 🙌🏼
It’s great fun sitting in a studio / bedroom with
@bushontheradio
while we prattle away although there have been many days this year where it’s been harder to smile than others. Thanks for sticking with us through it all!
For The Railway Children, The Wombles, Right Said Fred, Doctor Who. And loads more that I haven’t remembered off the top of my head.
Thank you Bernard Cribbins.
What a legend 😢
Right. A day later than many but I have a simple goal for 2020. There’ll be less of me by the end of it than there is right now. I’ve done it before. I’ll do it again.
My brown caretaker coat is ready for tomorrow morning. Looking forward to looking after the keys for another fortnight before
@daveberry_tweet
and
@RealDysonator
get to do the show with the best listeners.
Right. To bed.
As an Arsenal fan with (sadly😂) no vested interested in the race for the title, Jamie Carragher simply doesn’t possess the ability to rein in his understandable bias towards Liverpool compared to when Gary Neville is commentating on Manchester United. Just my opinion.

Just finished my school talk to the reception year kids about working in radio. First question when I opened it up to the floor;
...what do you have for lunch?
Brilliant.

24 years since we first started working together and here we still are. One of us is one of the finest music presenters you will find and the other blags it chatting about trains and scampi fries.

The boss is happy so everybody is happy 👍🏼
Thank you for listening.
@bushontheradio
and I know we’re fortunate to enjoy what we do and that you want to share your time with us.
We’ll keep doing what we do x
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
I’ve been finding it all a little overwhelming recently and realised that I’d forgotten how good it is to talk!
It’s a frantic time of year.
It’s a crazy world full stop.
Don’t forget to speak up and tell someone if you’re feeling it x

I've worked hard losing 31 kilos this year by eating healthier food Paul. 5 stone. I feel happy. But I LOVE a dirty takeaway once in a while. Nothing wrong with it. Have a lovely and no doubt happy weekend.
Mother’s Day. It’s long been a day I’ve struggled with but it’s a strange one today for sure. So whether they’re with us or not, Step Mums or new Mums. Let’s love and remember them all as awesome.
Daughter passed her driving test this week.
Eldest son FaceTimed me from the drive thru last night with his big sister in the driving seat next to him having got her a takeaway.
New levels of pride unlocked.
My work here is done.

Happy New Year everyone. Let’s all hope for good things and search them out if need be.
Each day is a gift and I’m going to try not to waste any this year 🎁
4-1 down with 9 minutes to go in final and Robbie Savage says Arsenal need to be careful as this could get embarrassing. Like it isn’t already Robbie. Such insight. Such wisdom.
An empty theatre for the first time in a few hours. Thanks to those that came for making it such a raucous night. I’m gonna miss this. And him. Don’t tell him though 🤫
