it's a sobering thought that I'd have been the oldest member of the Travelling Wilburys and it wouldn't have been close

Anyone have any tips for talking to @currys complaints - the whole buying a TV from them thing isn't going well. So far, I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you're considering it. Been told I have to go to the shop itself.

so I entered into a dialogue on here with the curry's people and the upshot is after several messages that we have to go to the Eastbourne shop to get the 35 quid back and there is no-one who can deal with this online or on the phone. In the meantime the TV is now set up.

The TV team are still due to come round. I'm not inclined to spend any more time or money on this. I was told to go into the shop and then cancel the team. Since I can't go to the shop, the best option seems to be to let them come and tell them when they get here it's been done.

This one slipped under the radar. Hurray!

Well, I guess we can officially talk about this then. The same but different.
Here we go, then! If you like a bit of #HorribleHistories, we’re very excited to tell you that #HorribleScience is on its way too…

well, this is lovely
Some lovely news overnight - Horrible Histories won a #RockieAward! Congratulations to our amazing cast and crew! We also just lost out to The Last of Us in the Grand Jury prize, incredibly. Very similar shows…

A bunch of us got bored of boots sales being rained off so we're doing one at home. Do come. There'll be tea and cake and if Marcy's doing the prices again - it'll cost us money!

INTERVIEWER: Mr Ward, in your 30 year career, is there one piece of work that you think most represents what you're all about. ME: What are you doing Friday?
Friday at 5.30pm on @cbbc, #HorribleHistories slightly loses its mind as Loo Man opens his Log Book, to bring you his Gross Guide to History. From Bruegel painting bottoms to Alexander the Great’s tummy trouble, this is one of the silliest shows I think we’ve ever done. Enjoy!

Another new #HorribleHistories on Friday at 5.30pm @cbbc - Gory Greek Myths! Zeus’s dating technique leaves @fredsirieix1 reeling, a massive wooden horse appears in ‘Made In Troy’, the Argonauts have a meeting, and both @thedarkness and @coldplay get a Mythical Musical run out…

Friday at 5.30pm on @cbbc, more new #HorribleHistories with a look at our Homes, including Charles Dickens’ fearsome shower, Henry VIII’s toilet-time, the etiquette of door-knocking, hiding priests, deadly wallpaper, a kitchen-based banger, and the return of Loo Man…

This may be a case of me pooping on my own doorstep - but we did a bonfire night episode of #HorribleHistories. Kind of thought I knew everything about the 5th before we started writing this one, turns out I hardly knew anything...
Celebrate Bonfire Night with new #HorribleHistories all about the slightly ludicrous history of The Gunpowder Plot, from its origins to its end, featuring some of the really daft stuff they did! And also TV’s stupidest torture scene. @BBCiPlayer from Nov 1st, and @cbbc 6pm Nov 3!

#horriblehistories @HH_World @jess_ransom @jamesmcnicholas @RichardDCaine Tonight! 'Orrible Opera! If it's half as good on TV as it was in the Albert Hall it will be twice as good as I'd have been very happy with. And before you ask, no, he's not miming to the Cat's Chorus!
Need some entertain for kids after summer? Don't miss tomorrow's viewing on CBBC at 5.30pm of the Horrible Histories Prom, 'Orrible Opera', with material written by my client @wettster. It's the most fun you can have whilst learning history!
