At the Elvis exhibition in London yesterday and I noticed that Elvis wore Hai Karate and Brut 33. Even the coolest man to ever live couldn't resist the charms of @thevalerieleon.
Everyone's been doing their top films of the year so here are mine.

All this nonsense about partially clothed women with their bits on display within 300 metres of me.
I only like women who are interested in opera, unfortunately there are none in my aria.
Sales of 'any old shit' due to peak at 3pm as men start their Christmas shopping.
Merry Christmas to all of you who make Twitter a fun and smiley place!

Unless this is sufficiently widely disseminated via social media, it will never gain traction. Few, if any, mainstream papers or news outlets will touch the subject.
NEW - THE VIP FILES
Part One 🔍🗄️📂
I'm working with @goodlawproject on never before seen data about the VIP PPE Lane.
#TheVIPFiles today...
🔹 £3.8 billion contracts for Tory associates and donors for just PPE through the VIP Lane and the govt went further
🔹It turns out the Government massively overpaid on stock through the VIP Lane too....by at least £925 MILLION.
🔹On average the cost per item of PPE through the VIP LANE was 80% MORE than through the USUAL NHS supplier channels.
🔹Sometimes it was much higher.
🔹For instance, the price of a protective gown through standard suppliers at that time was £5.87.
🔹Through the VIP Lane, Meller Designs Ltd was paid more than twice the price at £12.64 per gown.
🔹The company made unprecedented profit that year.
🔹David Meller (of Meller Designs) an associate of Michael Gove, has donated almost £70,000 to the Conservative party since 2009.
🔹More than a quarter of the VIP Lane stock WAS UNUSABLE.
🔹Another company based offshore in a tax haven received an enormous contract and yet £145 million of their stock was useless. The referral for that company to the VIP LANE came from a Tory adviser to Liz Truss.
🔹All these contracts were given preferential treatment even tho most had no previous experience in PPE.
🔹A company was 10 times more likely to get OUR money through the VIP Lane than through being a usual NHS PPE supplier.
@RachelReevesMP has committed to appointing a Covid Corruption Commissioner if Labour wins the next election.
We'll be passing our discoveries to her.

In the same month @Robin_Askwith gets mentioned in both Private Eye and Viz. Fingers crossed for the New Year's honours list!
A very happy birthday to the one and only @Robin_Askwith. A man who makes Twitter a fun place to visit.

@TheDetourEffect used your page to hike to Glyder Fach and Fawr on Saturday. Fantastic hike with lots of variety. Terrain ranged from soaking marshland to those incredible rocks at the summit. Thanks for this excellent written guide! thedetoureffect.com/blog/eas…
Last night it was @springsteen and the ESB in Aston Villa, tomorrow night it's @pennjillette and @MrTeller in London.
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night.....

Pls RT! Some top #springsteen moments from #theestreetcafepodcast Season 1. We recall Episodes 1-6 with guests @dwingate, #FrankStefanko, #BobbyChirmside and Donna from @BruceFunds. Highlights from Episodes 7-12 to follow. If you haven't heard them all yet - enjoy! Links below :)
Last day in Dublin with @downie_alan Fantastic fun and wonderful people at both @springsteen shows.
Maybe I judged the drunk, non responsive Russian bloke who necked 3/4 of a bottle of whiskey and collapsed in our room too harshly and he was just a frustrated writer?
Back from two shows in Barcelona, the kneeslides are long gone, the setlist is more structured than previously but at 73 years old @springsteen is still putting on three hour shows that make me feel like 16 again. Two days to recover then off to Dublin!

Back up The Khyber Pass / Snowdon and Private Widdle has deserted his post once again. Can't say I blame him though as it is bloody cold!
