At the Masters first semi-final today watching the greatest snooker player of all time 🚀
At Alexandra Palace for Ronnie O’Sullivan v Ding Junhui. My first #MastersSnooker match and lucky enough to see the Rocket in action.
Earlier @TVsPointless featured “Famous Barrys” and now @TheHawk147 is cleaning up at #MastersSnooker. It’s a good day to be a Barry.
First time at Camden’s Electric Ballroom in about 20 years to see Teenage Fanclub revisit albums from my youth tonight. Loved every moment.
Big news at work today. I’m looking forward to working with my new Motors colleagues when the deal closes.
I’m very excited to share that I’m joining @Gumtree as CTO next week.
I can’t wait to get started with my new colleagues in the @GumtreeDevTeam and @eBay family 🎉

Registered myself for the Builders’ Day at May’s AWS Summit London. I’m hoping to attend the Serverless sessions.
First proper night out after the second baby for the last night of Stewart Lee’s Content Provider tour at the Royal Festival Hall. As always, brilliant, even sitting at the back among the “Friends of the South Bank”.
Arsène Wenger became Arsenal’s manager when I was 17. Throughout my adult life - university, jobs, relationships, marriage and two kids - he’s been a constant. It’s a strange, sad feeling that he’s going. #MerciArsène for the beautiful football, the trophies and so many highs.
