Moved the 30-year-old monolith to the cloud without refactoring it. Didn't fix anything. Just made the broken thing more expensive and gave it a better postcode.

Buying tech is only half the battle. True transformation requires integrating systems into daily workflows and prioritizing the human experience to avoid redundant, manual work. #WorkplaceDesign #DigitalTransformation #EmployeeExperience #HRTech #Leadership #FutureOfWork

@SportsDirect_CS is your support department staffed by goldfish?  In an email you promised you would "get back to me" and tell me what is going on, and yet I have had no response, apart from a cavalcade of random people asking me for the same information and promising...

I don't know if staff can't read the email thread, whether it's a systems problem, or if this department is staffed by people who are too lazy or incompetent to find out. Maybe they're not paid enough to care (If that's the case I'm not the least surprised. You have my sympathy)

Perhaps Fraser's are fine with that.  But I'm not, so the next thing that happens is either a chargeback or a small claims court summons. Unless you can actually sort yourselves out by the end of the week. God, this depressing isn't it?

Hey @LFC I tried to help... Nick: Hey ChatGPT, Make an excuse for Jürgen Klopp... ChatGPT: "I'm sorry, I am not able to generate an excuse for Jürgen Klopp" It's actually pretty good, this AI stuff.

Hey @10DowningStreet I got you bro. Nick: Hey ChatGPT Write a generic government statement that doesn't admit responsibility for a mistake it definitely made...

Hey @ReeceFitzgerald. I was "Nick" in your matinee today. I thought you were outstanding. Lovely improvised lines, particularly the one re my initials 🤣. Good luck with the rest of the run!

OK. I've just decided I'm Welsh.

I think this video evidence will be really useful for my defence when I end up in court. He ( @HarryHill ) clearly started it!

@SouthamptonFC Was excited to send my 2 girls to your soccer school this week (still buzzin after Sunday). As the only 2 girls there they've spent 3 days getting abuse from boys re how they shouldn't play football. It's upsetting that you're not upfront in addressing this.

@SouthamptonFC I think it would be courteous if you responded and let me know how you intend to address it. Why should my daughters or any other girls attend your soccer schools if they're treated like they don't deserve to play football? #Lionesses #WEURO202 #weplaystrong

I've always been impressed by Saints approach. This feels like an opportunity to address this with coaching staff and in turn the boys who are being coached. It's been a real challenge to keep them going, but they know they need to. It's why I wrote this: linkedin.com/pulse/final-lif…
For 50 years football played by women was suppressed, with a ban on women playing football only lifted in 1971. Sunday’s game is so important because it represents the culmination of a century of work by incredible women... linkedin.com/pulse/final-lif… #Lionesses #WEURO2022

@NOWTV. I just had an astonishing and frankly appalling conversation with your billing team in which your representative said they would "Look forward" to seeing my 75yo mother in court. This after increasing her tariff by 400% (£80pm!) and cutting her off for non payment.

She had in fact added the correct credit card details (But apparently to the wrong section???). All her bills have 'paid' written on them (Why would they say paid when they aren't?), so she had no idea she was going to get cut off.

So this week she was cut off. She lives alone and has no mobile signal. When the bill was queried she was told that they will pursue her with legal action. So well done @NOWTV for frightening a vulnerable person and cutting them off from the world. I hope you're proud! 👏👏👏

Myself and @r_shorrocks have used this as an exercise in learning how to use a green screen. It's a bit of family friendly fun. ENJOY!
PARENTS, if you need something to entertain the kids. We've put this spoof Little Red Riding Hood video up today. It's taken us far too long to make. PLEASE RT! youtube.com/watch?v=6N6z8a8P… #funnyvideosforkids #fairytale #littleredridinghood
