Just found out Miss Saigon 25th anniversary performance is on @SkyArts right now. My favourite musical of all-time. Saw this 2014 version THREE times. Just checked and it’s repeated next weekend. Very much recommend setting your planner to record it. Loved this show for 30 years.
It’s just fabulous. @alistairbrammer @EvaNoblezada @JonJonBriones absolutely phenomenal. Was so gutted not to get a ticket for this special performance and make it four visits. But I did the first preview, first night and last night so think it’s safe to say I am a fan!
Watching Miss Saigon on @SkyArts is taking me right back to last year’s musical cruise @StagesFest - not looking like this year’s will happen sadly. Thankfully musical fancy dress evening - me as GI Chris - was not the Last Night of the World... but I did have a solo saxophone 🎷 Image
Niche tweet for @MissSaigonUK #MissSaigon obsessives watching it on @SkyArts but I will go to my grave arguing that Now That I’ve Seen Her is a much better Ellen song than Maybe and I still don’t know why the latter replaced former from Original in the 25th anniversary version.

Hopefully useful thread time. Tomorrow is 100 days until January 1 2021. Last year for that period I started a 100-day plan and it made a huge different to my personal/work focus, productivity, what I achieved + general life/anxiety. And from tomorrow I’m starting it again cos 1/ Image
well it’s obvious why right, the next 100 days could well be tough for so many of us. But it doesn’t mean the days until 2020 ends need to be wasted or worthless. We can all achieve something + recognise when we take steps forward after the inevitable steps back. I’ll show you 2/
On the first page I write my ambitions, aims, goals, desires & hopes for the 100 days ahead. However small or big, serious or wild and downright dreaming. Then I do a page for the week ahead focused on three things I want to achieve in life + three for work. But that’s not all 3/

August 8 has become an important day for me. On this day in 2014 I had my colon removed, replacing it with a stoma and bag on my stomach to poop in. It ended three decades of awful up and down health - health issues I’d always battled through and made the best of life despite 1/
I was first diagnosed with Crohn’s aged eight and from then all I knew was daily drugs, hospital tests, poor symptoms but thankfully only one major op. Some skilled surgery changed that massively six years back and I’ve - touch wood - been in the best health of my life since 2/
I always reflect now on this date on the surgeon telling me my colon was on fire and ready to burst. The surgery was planned not emergency but nobody realised just how bad it was inside and how close I likely came to real life-threatening issues had I left it much longer 3/

Curtain up! @HamiltonMusical #hamifilm A needed uplift today. Although there’s plenty in it that always brings me to tears. So much hope in its lyrics for a better life + world, for acceptance, being wanted, love, family. And of course, for writing like you’re running out of time Image
I think the biggest thing about @HamiltonMusical and @Lin_Manuel’s lyrics is how they underlyingly speak to us as humans. “Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now!” Amidst everything so many are suffering at this moment, that’s beautiful to hold onto.
That notion of #Hamilton never being satisfied. No matter what he gets, still wanting more. More power. More status. More legacy. Whereas Eliza just wants him - for the man he is. And them - for what they are. “And I could be enough. And we could be enough. That would be enough.”

Is anyone live translating this @BorisJohnson speech? Thank you.
“We will double down on levelling up”... anyone? No me neither. This is meant to be a speech to inspire confidence in rebuilding our nation. The PM can’t even build a coherent and inspiring phrase.
I can’t wait for the @Darren_Dutton version of this PM speech!

A quick thread about dads - not expecting Father’s Day to get to me today but it has. Mine wasn’t bad. But he was very flawed. And often angry. Deep down he loved me I know, even if he wasn’t much good at showing. He wasn’t a dad who played football or taught practical stuff 1/
I’ve very few memories of fun stuff together. Going to Royal Tournament. Watching Carry Ons. Eating sausage sarnies and driving around town. I learned most routes around London from him. But little else. Certainly not how to be a man. Or a dad. Just how to shout. Oh and bet 2/
When he and my mum split when I was 13 it led to a massively angry spiral for a few years. Much like before that. Then he met someone new. She had four kids. He spent more time around her/them... more his sort of people than me I think. But little good it did him in reality 3/

Have tears in my eyes writing this. I didn’t realise verdict had come and the man involved had now died. I did not live in his shoes. All of us bowel patients have different stories + experiences. But this is so desperately sad. So really achingly sad 1/ bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
When I had my stoma op in Aug 2014, it came having put it off for years and years. I lived with poor health from #Crohns for far longer than I should or could have. I was scared. I feared coping with it. I was worried what people and potential partners would think. I delayed 2/
I worked & built a strong career despite my health battles. My amazing consultant and I both agreed he’d let me choose when the time was right. But warned also I may have that time chosen for me if I got very sick or my bowel ruptured. So I delayed. Out of fear. Putting it off 3/
