The Department for Education chose legally enforced in-person attendance over mass fatalities ...during a pandemic! The consequences were all too real for those in high-risk families...

@OctopusEnergy I emailed back & forth trying to get Octopus to install an EV Charger for 3 months last year before receiving a ‘We’ll get back to you’ email in Nov. Two weeks later, another ‘We’re still working on it’ message. Nothing since. Plan was to get a Smart Meter at the same time 🤷🏼‍♂️

@BongoWhack That's right, you'll need a smart meter to switch to Intelligent Go. You can check for available appointments here 👉 octopus.energy/dashboard/new/… but if you need a hand, just drop us a DM and I'll help. 🐙

If a customer is on a fixed tariff with @OctopusEnergy and they then move to Intelligent Octopus Go, do they stay within the current fixed tariff or move to a new one at new rates? If they have to start over with a new fixed tariff, is the £25 exit fee payable?

@OctopusEnergy Thanks for that. Is a Smart Meter required to move to an Intelligent tariff?

@BongoWhack Hey Mike, if you switch to our Intelligent tariff you'll have new rates and you can check these here 👉 octopus.energy/smart/intellig…. I've taken a look at your tariff and there are no exit fees so you're welcome to switch tariffs without incurring extra fees 🐙

@UPS_UK Package due to be delivered on Monday. Delayed. Tues am: got time slot - came & went. Delivery changed to 'by the end of the day'. Still nothing. Wed am: got time slot. Now delivery changed to "The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible." What's going on?

I’ve sent two emails (12th & 28th September) to charging@octopus.energy in relation to the potential installation of an EV Charger but have had no reply. @OctopusEnergy is our supplier and I’d prefer you carry out the installation, but you’re not giving me much confidence!

This is after a debacle last wknd where I'd booked a 1hr test drive in a new Hybrid Tucson at a more local dealer (again via @Hyundai_UK) only to be told on arrival that they only offer 20 mins & I can only drive a pre-owned 23 plate Guess I'm not buying a new Hyundai then! 2/2

Booked a 24hr test drive of a new Hybrid Tucson for me & my wife via @Hyundai_UK. Rearranged school run, got up early & drove 1hr to get there for 9am, only to be told by the dealer they don't do 24hr test drives & they only have a plug-in available. Waste of a morning. 1/2

@claires @JackieDefalco Did they claim the second item wasn’t available at the time by any chance? They’ll then likely ignore you until you purchase the second item again, so they get to charge you for a second delivery. Well that’s my experience anyways.

@JackieDefalco Hello, we are sorry to hear this. Please send us a private message with your order number and details on the missing items. Our team is responding to all messages, but due to high volume, there may be a delay in response time. Thank you for reaching out!

@claires really bad customer service ordered 2 pairs of earrings only one pair turned up. After numerous emails and calls to customer service. No response or action. Shame on you. No presents for my Granddaughter

@claires I placed an order with you on 26th June but only one of the two items was delivered. I contacted Customer Services via email about the missing item on 2nd July but have had nothing other than an automated reply. I sent a DM on here on Friday morning and still nothing.

@og87 @UncleCleese @DougieCritchley Simply pointing out that ‘advantage’ is irrelevant If you don’t draw the line at the actual point of off/on & instead give attacking players 6” grace, people will complain when their player is 7” off - he’s only 1” off after all! The argument won’t go away. Offside is offside.

@BongoWhack @UncleCleese @DougieCritchley Agreed which I don’t think is fair. Because that’s not really offside is it.

I can’t believe the amount of people I’ve seen saying this isn’t offside. It’s offside, it’s black and white. An inch offside, is still offside. “Introduce thicker lines,” “don’t allow offsides if it’s less than 3 inches.” Attackers will still be 0.5 inches from the thicker lines… attackers will still be 3.5 inches offside. If you approve of the rule as a whole, you can’t complain when it’s implemented on tight decisions. Denmark were unlucky, but they weren’t robbed.

So May 4th came around & I was tempted into buying some more #LEGOStarWars UCS kits from @LEGO_Group that were accompanied by a free commemorative coin, celebrating 25 years of #LEGO and #StarWars. I liked it so much that it inspired me to create this little mash up . . .

@BookOfTM Definitely Mike Wozniak. I’d not heard of him nor seen him in anything before, but I loved him on TM. I became a fan of his as a result of his entertaining efforts and am now a regular listener to his Three Bean Salad podcast.

ok. who is your favourite Taskmaster contestant based solely on their TM appearance? Not because you knew them before hand or because you liked them after. Purely because of the show? Mine would be Guz Khan

@prodnose You think the red was in response to the player trying to give him a high five? 🤔 Either that or this tweet is a massive troll - I hate not being able to decipher context of plain text.

Referees, as ever, need to wind in their necks. Stick to your job of judging the game. Your pride and authority is not an issue big heads.

@enlightenment91 @justme84329 @PicturesFoIder Door B is the correct door. Ask the truth teller what the liar would say is the correct one - liar would say A, truth teller says he would say A - go through B. Ask liar what the truth teller would say - truth teller would say B, liar says he would say A - go through B. Done!

@justme84329 @PicturesFoIder So how do you know who is the liar?

What am i witnessing

@wsebag @mattgreencomedy Aaaaand . . . . follow 👏🏼

@GMB As with most things in life, moderation is key. Using a tablet in a restaurant doesn’t preclude a child from interacting with staff, showing courtesy and using good manners etc. I’ve known plenty of rude, ignorant kids and their use of tablets wasn’t the issue.

@GMB While training to be a teacher, a very wise man taught me that you shouldn’t tell a child to sit still, be quiet and ‘behave’ - if a dead person can do it, it’s not behaviour!

'It's distracting. They should be sitting there quietly' 'Not all children are robots.' After a mother complained about parents who brought their children with them to an upscale restaurant, with ‘blaring’ iPads, should we keep the dining experience free from technology?
