Toddler throws a tantrum....

@scottygb.bsky.social Image grab from the end of tonight's Look North (Yorks & Lincs). Seems Mr. Hudson must have been updating his Spotify of Weather hits...

Thinking of former colleagues who now work at Channel 4. This news must be really unsettling for them and their work mates today.

The Arctic Corsair moves to her final berth along the River Hull. She represents the cities long history of trawling, a moving memorial to the thousands who died fishing at sea. #arcticcorsair

Hull's last sidewinder trawler makes a final journey to her new permanent berth in North End shipyard. #arcticcorsair

Cloud is covering the sky here in Hull... but the refracted light from my camera lens appears to reveal the eclipse! #eclipse

Colander eclipse going ever so well in northern England. #eclipse

I took this picture in 2019 when the #ArcticCorsair began her restoration journey. Tomorrow, restored at last, she moves to a final River Hull home at North End Shipyard. (Please do not republish without asking first, especially if you are part of Reach PLC)

Right, so despite a "creditable" terrorist threat, they still flew a plane full of White House staff, crew & journalists on a plane they thought might be hit by missiles. But Trumple was ok in his armoured food container. Nothing to see here, move along.

He's not called the "King of the North" in most parts of the north. Southern based media completely misread the impact Andy #Burnham has had on the rest of the north. I don't think he claims the title for himself either. His focus was, rightly, on the north west where he's done great work.

BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9... Played her songs on the radio many a time. Only saw her live once, and that Eurovision Song Contest performance was not easily forgotten. Thanks Bonnie.

Post of the day!

I end the day and am proud to say I haven't heard his voice once. I did the same with Trumple, managed to go weeks just flicking the channel whenever his smug face appeared or it sounded like he was about to be on the radio. I accept the challenge once more.

BBC cuts have arrived. Apparently BBC Scotland is now only available in black and white.

The election canvasser who stopped me in town didn't look amused when I turned down her leaflet and said I wouldn't vote for her lot 'if you gave me five million quid'.

CELEBRITY TRAITORS SERIES TWO CAST ANNOUNCED 🚨🚨

If anyone in Trumples orbit could read, they could try looking at the NATO articles that the US signed up to. NATO is specifically not there to launch attacks on other countries, specifically it is a defence organisation. So fed up with this hopeless US administration.

Remember hearing this ahead of its general release in 1982. It was the first CD I'd ever heard in studio conditions, playing on a Philips machine, in Pennine Radio' Studio A. It was mesmerising, when the cat pured and the bottle smashed - you could have knocked me down with a feather!

I did my constitutional duty today and returned one parties local election literature to them, via their handy Freepost address. It'll cost them £2.50 from their coffers when it lands at their office. Don't worry, I wrote a message on the returned leaflet, so they can't re-use it. Thank me later.

I love it when you stumble across a part of your life long forgotten. I spent a year playing these on the radio when I first moved to Hull in the mid eighties. Cath Baxter composed and arranged the most amazing idents package I ever used on air as a presenter. #vikingradio

Wow, who knew the BBC was closing its Weather department?

I was saddened to read this. Pam took me on as a Network Director in the 90's, with no tv experience whatsoever. The all female management team (with Janet Hoenig and Sandy Maeer) were inspiring to work for and I spent 11 very happy years at TVC as a result. Not a known name, but what a tv legend.

#theboss

The US president, the one with bone spurs and no military record, also appears to have no knowledge about his own countries combat action within NATO, let alone the ultimate sacrifice of hundreds of service personal from the other countries supporting them. Appalling conduct from a convicted felon.

I guess when Trumple said he could sort out the Ukraine/Russia war in one day, he just forgot which day he was talking about. It's time the world put him to one side and stopped trying to appease the orange idiot.

Taking a little winter break on Gran Canaria. Apparently it's snowing at home in Yorkshire.

And with that ending, Linda rings and demands a recount... #celebritytraitors

It's all so confusing, hasn't some singer already got the title Formally Known As Prince? #notaprince

Fabulous journalism from #TimeOut... lifted from a National Geographic story. Except, Time Out didn't bother to check if Hull is actually by the sea. It isn't. Oh well.

#Hull looking at its best today, beautiful views across the Humber

Someone had to come and sort them out...

Just before sunrise in #Hull this morning. September prepares to leave us in style!

Having just heard some of Trumps nonsense at the UN, I'm reminded of a previously used description of the US president... "Absolute cockwomble"

Just had a Lancaster bomber fly over the flat here in Hull... with an inquisitive pigeon looking on!

23 of the items on the homepage of the BBC News App are about Charlie Kirk. 23 separate items. Who is making that choice? Spend a little less time creating all of those and you might have time to host a BBC News feed here on Bluesky.

A brilliant afternoon spent with the Railway Children, steam trains and the lovely team of volunteers at #Bradford2025 Fabulous production on the Keighley and Worth Valley Steam Railway line.

Good grief, didn't realise Skeggy had space for that many hotels?

Amazing to think they'd move on to measuring radio audiences just a century later. (*industry gag, obvs)

Just wondering exactly how many times "Guinness" will be name checked, and therefore advertised, on this mornings #BBCBreakfast? Let alone have their logo plastered all over the telly. Their marketing team know exactly what they are doing when it comes to unchecked free credits.

I do love the choices you can make on here... especially "muted" text and tags. Months ago I added three words to the list... today my Discovery feed has been a joy because of one of those muted words. 😁

Had a grand tour round Hull Minster earlier, up the tower and out onto the roof. Grand views. #HEYVolunteers

There's a certain scowl about the view across the Humber estuary today.

Just spotted myself at Wembley, 40 years ago! #LiveAid40

Just enjoyed the conclusion of season 2 of #TraitorsNZ, just screening here in the UK. Brilliant viewing and hat's off to a master host in Paul Henry, a wonderful mix of hilarious and slightly deranged!

Great night at the Grand Jury Final at the #ESC in Basel last night. No spoilers, you'll have to watch the real thing tonight... but I will just say that Nemo has visited a hardware store in preparation.
