Meet Rocco Luigi Firth. Gorgeous little man arrived today. Very much in love with both him and my wife 🌈

Well it’s been an odd few days but I just wanted to say thanks for all your kind tweets. I spoke to the big man today as he wandered the sultry streets of Singapore and much as we’re both excited about our new projects, we’re quite simply going to miss hanging out each morning!

So a couple of things after today’s show.
1. Personally gutted...
2. ...but excited for a very special friend.
3. Plan to enjoy every show that we have left together because this has been just the best fun.
4. Thank you @OC x

Have tried to stay happy and positive this year. But today’s been too much even for me. This is brutal.

Stunned just how good @oasis were tonight at Wembley.
Awesome to see Liam and Noel having as much fun as the 90,000 in the stadium.
Sung my heart out and glad I’m not I’m on air tomorrow @absoluteradio

This is a development!

Tomorrow @RichieFirth celebrates 10 years at @absoluteradio - I've decided to gift him the ultimate present. Bowing to public pressure, I will allow him to take his 'toilet' feature to the new Hometime show with @bushontheradio (it's also a really cheap present). #richiefirthis10

I have nothing but admiration for the courage and honesty of Graham Thorpe’s family to share their experience.
I really hope it helps by raising awareness and understanding.

Like he said. This is going to be great fun and I can't wait.
I’m super excited to be doing the Hometime Show on @absoluteradio starting in September. I’m teaming up with @RichieFirth who’s an amazing broadcaster and a top man. Together we promise to get you home with a smile on your face. Can’t wait to get started! 🔥✌🏻

It was 18 years ago when I first met @bushontheradio. We worked with a US radio guru who was going to turn us into presenters extraordinaire.
Tomorrow, 4pm on @absoluteradio will be the first time we finally do a show together and we can’t wait. Hope you like it 🙏🏼

Steve Wright in the afternoon was different to all the other radio that I could listen to growing up in the late 80s and early 90s. A huge influence on my love for what I feel grateful to do now. Only now do I fully appreciate how slick and effortless he made all his work sound.

Keep hearing the commentator refer to Ukraine’s Matvienko and in my head I’m hearing Matt Bianco from the 80s.

At the age of 41, hangovers seem to last all day now. Is it time to hang up the drinking boots? Even the stair gate being rattled nearly tipped me over the edge this weekend...

Feeling fit enough to be back out running and it’s making me feel so happy! 👊🏼
And for some reason I’ve always loved running in the rain! 🏃🏻🌧

Wife has just put £47.68 of fuel in the car. Yet this didn’t fill it up. The fact this number is not rounded and the tank not full stresses me out way more than it should.

3 years ago today I went on a first date. It went well. Tomorrow morning I’ll be back on air with @OC after celebrating becoming a Dad again thanks to the girl with the green top and black skirt ❤️

Since hearing the sad news about Prince Phillip my thoughts keep ending up focusing on loss and grief. No matter who we in this world it’s something we all have to endure. RIP

It’s great fun sitting in a studio / bedroom with @bushontheradio while we prattle away although there have been many days this year where it’s been harder to smile than others. Thanks for sticking with us through it all!

I’m a very lucky husband to receive a WhatsApp like this as I head home.
Quite what she’s serving up though worries me.

For The Railway Children, The Wombles, Right Said Fred, Doctor Who. And loads more that I haven’t remembered off the top of my head.
Thank you Bernard Cribbins.

How do you do justice to Sean Connery in a tweet? It’s impossible.
So I’m aware this doesn’t. But I loved him in The Rock.
What an actor.

Right. A day later than many but I have a simple goal for 2020. There’ll be less of me by the end of it than there is right now. I’ve done it before. I’ll do it again.

My brown caretaker coat is ready for tomorrow morning. Looking forward to looking after the keys for another fortnight before @daveberry_tweet and @RealDysonator get to do the show with the best listeners.
Right. To bed.

As an Arsenal fan with (sadly😂) no vested interested in the race for the title, Jamie Carragher simply doesn’t possess the ability to rein in his understandable bias towards Liverpool compared to when Gary Neville is commentating on Manchester United. Just my opinion.

Just finished my school talk to the reception year kids about working in radio. First question when I opened it up to the floor;
...what do you have for lunch?
Brilliant.

Thanks for listening. It turns out there’s a few of you. Which is lovely.
The target for @bushontheradio & @RichieFirth on the @absoluteradio Hometime Show was 2 million listeners in 2020. They've smashed that already to become the UK's No.1 Commercial Radio Drivetime Show with a record 2.1m listeners. #RAJAR

24 years since we first started working together and here we still are. One of us is one of the finest music presenters you will find and the other blags it chatting about trains and scampi fries.

Somebody is out for a walk in their new Dr Martens and it’s made them decidedly taller. They can go back...

You take your son to the football and offer to get him a drink and he asks for Prime.
The game’s gone.

Poor old ITV. They must have been so chuffed to have got #ENGBEL. What they’ve ended up with is a live training session.

I’ve been finding it all a little overwhelming recently and realised that I’d forgotten how good it is to talk!
It’s a frantic time of year.
It’s a crazy world full stop.
Don’t forget to speak up and tell someone if you’re feeling it x

I've worked hard losing 31 kilos this year by eating healthier food Paul. 5 stone. I feel happy. But I LOVE a dirty takeaway once in a while. Nothing wrong with it. Have a lovely and no doubt happy weekend.

A massive and genuine thank you for listening and joining in with our nonsense.

Mother’s Day. It’s long been a day I’ve struggled with but it’s a strange one today for sure. So whether they’re with us or not, Step Mums or new Mums. Let’s love and remember them all as awesome.

Daughter passed her driving test this week.
Eldest son FaceTimed me from the drive thru last night with his big sister in the driving seat next to him having got her a takeaway.
New levels of pride unlocked.
My work here is done.
