@markgoldbridge Winning 2-0 is what he’s doing

What is Eddie Howe doing? Look at his bench! Unbelievable he's benching that much talent

@WestHamPlace Iraola to Athletic Club is my bet

Potential Summer Movers if England flop? Tuchel - ❌ Howe ➡️ England Iraola ➡️ Newcastle Thoughts?

@that_stocks_guy @currys I had similar with an iron and I haven’t bought anything from them since . Not good enough

#ConsumerRightsAct #Currys #KnowYourRights A rant for @currys, who are currently breaking the law. Normally I'd let it go, but your customer service is a shitshow and your desire to wash your hands of the faulty items you sell is illegal. On 10 October 2025, I walked into your Exeter shop and bought a PCSpecialist computer. This was the birthday present for my 12-year-old. A present they'd been dropping hints about for months with the subtlety of a child who remains terrible at poker. They'd saved their own pocket money towards it. I topped it up. It was, genuinely, a lovely moment. For four months, it was perfect. Homework. Games. The full experience of being 12 in 2025. On 22 February 2026, four months and 12 days after purchase, it stopped working. No final farewell. It just… stopped. My child sat there pressing the power button with increasing desperation, and nothing happened. The machine that had cost a significant amount of adult money, and a not-insignificant amount of 12-year-old pocket money, was dead. Fine, I thought. This is what a receipt is for. I'll call Currys (the shop I bought it from, with my money, as a birthday present for my child) and they'll sort it. Your staff told me that my contract wasn't with Currys, and that I should contact the manufacturer. They also told me to go in-store with the machine to have it looked at. I went in-store. The in-store staff told me to call the number I had just called. I called again. I was given the phone number for PCSpecialist. Phone → store → same phone → manufacturer. A perfect circle of not helping. A masterpiece of redirection. If it weren't happening to me, I'd almost admire it. Now let's talk about the law, because I think someone at Currys may have forgotten it exists. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is not a suggestion. It is extremely clear on this point: when you buy something from a retailer, your legal contract is with that retailer. Not the brand on the box. Not the manufacturer. Not some third party you've never met. The shop. The one that took your money and handed you a receipt. Within the first six months of purchase, the law presumes the fault existed at the point of sale. I don't have to prove the computer was faulty when I bought it. Currys has to prove it wasn't. The burden of proof sits entirely with them. During this window, I am legally entitled to a repair or a replacement, and if either of those fails, a full refund. We are currently inside that six-month window. I bought it on 10 October 2025. I complained on 22 February 2026. I am four and a half months in. The law is not ambiguous about what happens here. What makes this particularly spectacular is that Currys' own published policy acknowledges the six-month framework. It is written down on their website. They know the rules. They have typed them up and put them on the internet. They are simply hoping that their customers are too tired from the runaround to actually enforce them. PCSpecialist are entirely blameless in this story. They manufactured a machine. Currys sold that machine to me. My dispute is with Currys. Directing me to PCSpecialist is the retail equivalent of Tesco selling you a gone-off chicken, and when you try to return it, handing you the farmer's phone number. The farmer didn't sell you the chicken. You don't have to knock on the farmer's door. You go back to the supermarket. This is not a controversial legal position. It is just how shops work. My 12-year-old has been without their birthday present for a few days now. They have been, I have to say, considerably more gracious about this than I have. They haven't complained. They've been patient. They are, in this situation, the bigger person — which is a sentence I never expected to write about a primary school leaver, but here we are. They shouldn't have to be patient. They should just have a working computer. So this is where we are, @currys. I know my rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. But before I go down the small claims court route, and start contacting every journalist in my network on a slow news day, I am giving you the opportunity to do the right thing, in the hope that public accountability is more efficient than your customer service helpline. A child saved their pocket money for this. Sort it out.

@MagpieMediaX Too many “takeover fans” having far too much to say

Ramsdale - just saved three penalties to win us that shootout Trippier - show him some f*cking respect. one of our best ever defenders and a huge part of our success Lascelles - fought for our club when not many others would, stood up against scum mercenaries Takeover fan 🤡👍🏼

@northumbriana @anacondanufc Wow! I remember you both, so well and I never got you mixed up 😉 XX

2x Dan Jacksons! (I was literally called into the headmaster’s office once for his misdemeanours. “Not me, guv.”)

@iamabubakhr @SkySportsNews Everything you did for that club - you were doing your job, a job you were being a huge sum of money for doing🤷‍♀️

@SkySportsNews What a way for Slot to lose the dressing room! Surely, there’s no way back for him from this.

"No footballer can behave like this when you're contracted to a club" 😬 Kaveh Solhekol reacts to the stunning interview of Mohamed Salah and what his future holds at Liverpool 🔴

The government have pledged £5million to stock secondary school libraries as part of the Year Of Reading. That's about 200 books. I've circled about 250 books in this image of part of our library just to contextualise that.

@Athletic_en @NUFC We hope you enjoy our city as much as we enjoy coming to Bilbao 😁

👋​ See you soon, @NUFC ​​ ​​​🫂​ A warm welcome from our ‘Geordie’ friends. ​​ ​​#NUFCAthletic #UniqueInTheWorld ​🦁

@GhostToon76 @MagpieMediaX Did we win ? 🤷‍♀️

@MagpieMediaX Forest keep attacking us down their right cos they know he's our weakest link 😬

Dan Burn is #NUFC only available senior LB option. That’s terrifying.

@AirMyles49 @now_arsenaI I’m not a LFC fan but, in the end, who won 🤷‍♀️

@now_arsenaI Did Salah play? Asking for my neighbor 🤔🤔

Don’t listen to Sky Sports. Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville and Roy Keane are about to all jump on Arsenal after that defeat. We lost to a moment of magic, without three of our most important players. We matched Liverpool, it just didn’t go our way. Onto the next.

@Just_Maths Yes! The butter trick 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is what made us who we are today

@AnnetteARhodes Oh that was my Mams go to … for everything!! The weirdest though was I ran into a post and had an egg shaped lump on my forehead and she said that butter was good for that … except we never had butter so she put Flora marg on it 😂😂😂😂

Don’t google … Do you remember being given milk of magnesia as a child? If Y what was your ailment? Now google what it’s used for … was that your ailment?

@Just_Maths Who knows 🤣 I remember baby aspirin too!

@AnnetteARhodes How does a toddler get indigestion? 😂

@Just_Maths I googled. It says for indigestion and constipation 🤷‍♀️🤣

@AnnetteARhodes 😂😂😂 Me neither … I just remember being given it but not why ?

@alreadydawn @jaenicc My son completed a year in Bilbao as part of his language degree & we have been regular visitors since. It is more popular now and we NEVER feel unsafe at all.

@jaenicc Heard good things about Bilbao. But the safety there seems a lil sus. Idk.

This is by far the most underrated region in Europe. Best gastronomy on the continent. lush forests and mountains. Few tourists.

@MissSDoherty My gifts were always Diet Coke and choc buttons 😁

I won’t do the gross thing of sharing a picture of a massive pile of presents to show off what a great teacher I am, but can I just point out how well these kids have paid attention to me in the last 13 weeks 😂

Well this is exciting … proof reading our new “ready? Set? Go!” Revision guide … Venturing into Geography with “Ready? Set? Geo!” … written by @Mr_BOWATER This has been a real labour of love for James … so much work and thought gone into it !! #theendisinsight

@Just_Maths @Mr_BOWATER I will recommend to my ex Geo colleagues !

@Just_Maths 🤣

@AnnetteARhodes Oh I was so tempted but the gaffer was there … still trying to be on my best behaviour… maybe next prom 😂😂

Feel incredibly proud to see year 11s at the prom this evening. A milestone for most and the ones I’m most proud of only got in by the skin of their teeth. … but seems there is only one dance move now & that’s jumping up and down! #feelold #temptedtothrowsomeshapes
