I think he has annoyed some people with this:

“Bond. James Bond. My preferred pronouns are he, him”. #ruinagreatscene

@zanahoria

I’m loving that so many people on that thread don’t get it

I would hate to have to explain it in under 160 characters

They still wouldn’t get it

[quote CaveMum]@InTheShadowOfTheMushroomCloud definitely not just you, he comes across so genuine and his self-deprecating humour is great. The Twitter thread last year when he found himself accidently locked in the guest bedroom at a friends house was hilarious.

His Pause For Thought on Valentine's Day last year for Radio 2, where he talked about receiving flowers from his partner David, who had passed away the previous December, was so moving.[/quote]
I heard that. I cried ...

I thought he had died when I saw his name as a thread title!

This is my favourite:

I thought it was funny - a perfectly normal good-humoured joke that anyone would make and appreciate.

We need more of those.

I missed that - does anyone have a link?

@Melroses it was actually in 2019, how time flies! There's a link to the original Tweet in this article: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-49464776

Thank you :)

(Actually, I think a lot of us have written out 2020 )

Three Vicars Talking, with the Reverends Coles, Bottley and Fraser, was superb. Still available on BBC Sounds for anyone who missed the series and specials the first time round.
