"If we don't act urgently, we're screwed" my call out at #SxSWLondon in panel discussion with @carolinelucas.bsky.social on English identity & tackling social division such as our work with #ModernCockneyFestival

What are you doing to celebrate #SirMichaelCaine birthday today?
Pop in to a Pie'n'Mash shop to celebrate.
He's 92 today...not many people know that

At a number of art galleries I make a point of revisiting old favourites, here 'A sergeant of the Light Horse' by George W Lambert at #NGV Melbourne, Australia.
Do you have any fave works you revisit?

As my dear old Uncle Len used to say, 'Enjoy yourself. Life's too short'. Make the most of the precious time, relationships, and togetherness you have.

I'm a great believer you can turn any journey into a creative odyssey. #Tramspiration in Melbourne, Australia used the tram as our classroom, like I do with the Tube in London with #Tubespiration
Turn mundane commutes into flights of fancy.

Are you a Tummler? Yiddish word for someone hired to get a party going - a great metaphor for community change activists.
Great day sharing #DublinConversations free tools on creating bottom-up led change with community groups in Monmouthshire.

Wonder what place in Britain has the worst/scruffiest taxis?
Pose question after @crosscountryuk.bsky.social train refused to go beyond Newport & resorting to taxi to get to my #Tummler workshop gig in Chepstow.
This cold, scruffy Newport cab would take some beating? Any worse?

Setting off from Barry Island to a day of sharing what a #Tummler is with community activists in #Monmouthshire

Tummler is a Yiddish word meaning someone hired to get a party going - we think it's a great metaphor for creating community change #SocialCapital

Great day filming in Splott Cardiff where we're producing a #pocketMuseum telling #StoryofSplottIn50objects

Great creative from @premierinn.bsky.social at their Barry hotel with a #GavinandStacey welcome to guests

My local corner shop has had to resort to creating a Rogues Gallery of alleged shoplifters in frustration st lack of response from the police.
Communities using modern equiv of stocks to publicly shame wrongdoers. Should they have to resort to
#SocialCapital ? #southwalespolice

Celebrating the life of #JohnPrescott especially his cameo appearance in #GavinandStacey turning up at Nessa's wedding showed a deft PR touch.
Have there have been any better cameo performances?
