The closing song on an album given a 5* review in Q and described - correctly - as “a bruised, bleeding masterpiece”.
They were never better. I took great delight in working out the guitar part in no time at all. Could I sing it?
Not a fucking chance.

Radiohead - Street Spirit (#TOTP 1995) From their second album, The Bends, the song was considered by Radiohead a breakthrough in their songwriting. It also became their biggest hit single to that point, reaching top 5 on the UK Singles Chart & later certified silver in sales.

Damon Gough is a songwriter of rare skill who understands so much about how a fine tune should be built but isn’t the best live. Not the strongest of voices.

I see some weird things but this takes the biscuit. A vulnerability in the Companies House website, that let anyone view the private dashboard of any one of the five million registered companies, see directors' personal details.
And modify them.

@game_collection I ordered back in Nov when the price was higher - will I get the different back automatically? I used points for at least some of the order. (Also please ship it soon!)

@vmiss33 @SyadySyarief I did it. This was the result. (It doesn’t scroll the whole word either just says this)

@CampfireTalesUK Feels like gigs either sell out or do nothing and there’s no in between at the moment

We're a disgrace in the UK, Madi Dias couldn't sell enough tickets at modest venues on a headline tour. Only London is going ahead.
She's a super talent, written songs you'll know so well, and her own music is brilliantly understated.

@SimonCalder Even as someone who has visited a lot in the past there are plenty other options and it feels like a tacit endorsement to travel there at this point. Plus the social media check is a way of chilling speech.
English
For the 80% who say they wouldn’t go to the US, I want to understand the main reason for saying so.
Are you boycotting due to recent political events?
Worried about personal safety?
Alarmed about social media screening on arrival?
Or you're just not interested in going to the US?
English
Thanks to all 12,000 who voted on their attitude to travelling to the US. Four out of five chose "I would not travel there".
Simon Calder@SimonCalder
How do you feel about travelling to the US in the wake of another killing by ICE in Minneapolis – as well as President Trump's claim that British and other foreign troops fighting alongside the Americans "stayed a little back, a little off the front lines”? Let me know your view.

@dresserman Don’t get it at all, just trains customers to ignore the display. Everyone just assumes it’s a con.

‘Up to’ promo space can get in the bin. Encourages laziness.

My texts are blowing up: Cops Forced to Explain Why AI Generated Police Report Claimed Officer Transformed Into Frog

As we showed last year, Axon's DraftOne did *NOT* save time in completing officer reports. Frankly, we did not test the "will this write reports claiming an officer turned into a frog."

Just pour the scalding coffee into my cupped hands, please

@agile_phil One thing I still don’t understand from new changes. If I’ve used nothing in last 24 hours and bump charge from 11:30pm-5:30am will that be cheap or not in the new regime? (Assume no other charging next 24h)
English
@agile_phil So if you haven’t used any smart charging and do a bump charge that takes under 6 hours and start it at 11:30pm will that be cheap? I was wondering if no bump charging would ever be cheap now. It’s what we’d been doing as we assumed the throttling via Ohme was a car issue.
English
@mikeasharp @g__j Ah ok. That’s the new bit really - if the charging goes over 6 hours during the off-peak period then we’ll bill the car at the bump rate whilst the rest of the house is still low rate. And that’s total of 6 hours charging not the sum of half-hour blocks.

Hi @OctopusEnergy
I have just received your email on Intelligent go. The eMail is poorly worded. Here is my DM I just sent to you:
English
@agile_phil @carver_mark @roger_farley @DaveLunt97 Seeing it again too if you need another data point?
English
@carver_mark @roger_farley @DaveLunt97 Hi Mark, if you can drop me a message I’d like to look at your account and see why the throttling is happening.
English
To help answer the questions on Intelligent Octopus Go changes coming in January we’ve written a blog and FAQ here octopus.energy/blog/intellige….
Should answer most questions but ping me if you’ve still got questions.
English
@ColPhillipson @agile_phil @OctopusEnergy My 15 mins can be full charge (also home pro) so not sure it’s that.
English
@agile_phil @OctopusEnergy It's my experience with my Ohme Home Pro that any 15 minute schedules generated always range between 1.4kW and 3.8kW at a 16A maximum rate. Why would Octopus create a 15 minute period if the intention was not to reduce the kW rate? I posted images showing this earlier.
English
@OctopusEnergy @agile_phil Can you answer a quick question please - I see in various groups people think Octopus controls the power a Zappi provides to the car - I think you just turn charging on and tell it how many kwh’s to provide for 30 min time slot - what actually happens?
English
@agile_phil Doesn’t seem to a state of charge issue for me (Ohme) quite often the throttling is early in the charge
English
@donlinch @OctopusEnergy Correct. We send the charging schedule but no request for any kind of throttling. Any throttling is the charger or car - even the car will slow down as it approaches 100% charge.
English
@dallan147 @agile_phil @roger_farley @DaveLunt97 Never had this issue when my prev car was linked rather than my charger. As I understand it I can’t link two VW ID vehicles to octopus directly so am having to use charger integration and am getting the throttling on Ohme
English
@agile_phil @roger_farley @DaveLunt97 @agile_phil I’ve always thought the throttling was normal dynamic behaviour controlled by 🐙. Many will be greatly interested in your response to this, shocked to read your comments this morning.
English
@UberUKI_Support As I said. I have called them and they have refused to refund. How do I get my money back?
English
Hi Mike, as you have placed the order directly with McDonald’s, we have no visibility of the order, therefore we do not have the option to assist you with your issue.
Please note we do have a specialised team who can help. Please call: +448000885663 for assistance with this issue.
Thanks for your understanding.
English
@UberUKI_Support My order was delivered to the wrong address, I contacted the McDonalds specialist support team and they refused to refund. Can you please let me know the best address to send legal correspondence? I have clear evidence of the delivery being to the wrong place.

@herculeanstable @martinfhull1 @paullewismoney But the income tax thresholds dictate what you pay on your savings do they not? And also how much untaxed savings allowance you have in the first place.
English
@martinfhull1 @itf @paullewismoney No, that's not true - incorrect. This is about taxation on savings interest, not income tax. The thresholds on income tax haven't changed.
English
From April 2027 income tax on savings interest will rise - basic from 20% to 22%, higher from 40% to 42%, and top from 45% to 47%. This applies throughout UK as not devolved. Same rises on property rental income except in Scotland where it is taxed at Scottish income tax rates.
