… so had to call back for a 3rd time. Your phone line, thank goodness, is a LOT better. They answer the calls quickly, and are extremely pleasant and helpful. …

… I suspect part of my problem is because I'm using the email address "legodiscoverycentre@{my domain}", which is a legitimate email address. Might be worth speaking to your web developers about possibly over agressive filtering of valid email addresses?

Retweet if you think that there should be no new oil and gas development in the UK.

#BlueMonday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays. Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Had to RT this thread despite it being so upsetting. We need everyone to see what's going on, & start shouting for it to be fixed, otherwise it's every single one of us that will suffer, not just those who need the NHS whilst staff strike for fair pay & conditions.

This nicely shows why I absolutely hate UIs for git. It looks convenient, but is it really? There is no “undo” subcommand in git. I assume this is a git reset of the last commit on head? Soft reset? Or hard reset? UX wise this is very unclear, as a user, clicking it is a gamble.
Thanks, @code!

My bestest mate is cutting his hair to raise money for @MyelomaUK - one of our other mates has got this far too young. If you get paid before Xmas throw some money his way (do so in Feb - plenty of time!) - follow the QR code! justgiving.com/page/david-co…

That Jeremy Clarkson can write things like that, and publish them unashamed, tells us all we need to know about the way Rupert Murdoch has poisoned and rotted our public life.

Why is it that when space runs out on the ROAD people think it is acceptable to park their car on the PAVEMENT??? The journey to school shouldn’t be this difficult… 🚘🤬🚫🚲🚶🏼‍♀️🛴👩🏼‍🦯👨‍🦽 #BanPavementParking #SpaceForPeople

The problem here is the test question, not the answer. When specifying your requirements, if you want something done a particular way, you need to be explicit. “Draw a small *analogue* clock…”

Used to be a bit of a fan of @Max33Verstappen. That ended today. There was no excuse for that today after all the support he’s receive in the past from a supportive team mate. What a !@*#

Does anyone in NY know who I can talk to to make the Juror Summons people to fuck off? They’ve been harassing me for years and will not listen when I tell them I left the USA in 2019. Now they’ve sent a “Previously Absent. Must Serve” letter that’ll need shoving up their ass.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lo… "These are officers who would otherwise be dealing with issues that matter to local communities, such as knife crime, safeguarding and responding to burglaries," Mr Twist said.

Mr Twist, if you're that concerned about safeguarding, and preventing loss of life… perhaps you should focus more of your efforts on the politicians making decisions that will cause far more deaths than any of these protestors will ever do in all of their protests!?
Finding extremely annoying now how my local @CostaCoffee keep putting my “to stay” coffee in a disposable cup. There’s enough rubbish in the world without this kind of carelessness 😡
