What a great start to a morning. Thank you, internet.
Anyone know how ‘laud’ I should be talking on the ‘British BBC’?
Apparently I’m a TikTokker now…

Tonight I’m going to remember time spent copying my Dad’s Beach Boys records onto cassettes to listen to endlessly on my Walkman.
Thanks for everything, Brian…

Confused my Italian breads and asked for my breakfast sandwich on a Focaccia instead of a Ciabatta.
I regret nothing…
If you’re working in live radio, always remember that timing is everything.

Little bit of news: I'm delighted to be taking on a more regular slot on LBC News, four years after joining the station.
Join me at 7am for Saturday Breakfast from this weekend!
That actually made me laugh out loud. Was this Mystic Meg’s pre-lottery career?
