@ClarkeMicah If ever you needed more of a reason not to buy the Mail on Sunday, this I overly simplistic, arrogant bullshit should be enough.

@davepl1968 What was wrong with the old run dialog that needed "fixing" by making it prettier and slower?
English
I worked on the XP run dialog. I'm a grizzled old man now, barely recognizable in the mirror, but even I think 94ms is a long-assed time to wait for a dialog to open.

Microsoft confirms Windows Run dialog is getting a modern look on Windows 11! - Modern design: A refreshed look that matches Fluent Design and Windows 11, with dark mode support. - Faster than before: Perf was top-of-mind when rewriting Run, and with a **94ms median time-to-show time it’s faster than ever before. - Quick user directory access: You can now type ~\ to jump to your user directory, then keep navigating just like you would from the command line. The modern Run dialog is slowly rolling out in current Insider builds of Windows as an opt-in feature, ensuring we are collecting your feedback. To enable the new Run dialog, you’ll need to: - Be on Windows Insider Experimental Channel. - Enable to Settings -> System -> Advanced and toggle on the new experience with the “Run Dialog” option at the top of the screen.

@SouthernRailUK @SW_Help What's the point. This is your usual avoidance and BS response.

@ChrisS @SW_Help Hi Chris, if you wish to raise a formal complaint, you can do so, here: southernrailway.com/help-and-suppo… ^Kieran
English
@SouthernRailUK Is the wrong answer. "tickets are getting accepted on another train company that tickets are valid on anyways". Bizarrely, @SW_Help were better by confirming local acceptance on buses (I know, I'm surprised too). How do I complain about you intentionally misleading customers?

@darrengrimes Given you're such an expert on the subject can you, rather than posting rhetoric, explain exactly how either of these convictions are not aligned with sentencing guidelines, so we can understand the point you're trying to make?

🚨 TWO-TIER JUSTICE ALIVE AND WELL 🚨
A man who strangled a railway worker, leaving him struggling to breathe, during a ticket dispute has been jailed for just 16 months.
Mohamed Kadir, 29, refused to leave a first-class carriage, then grabbed a member of staff by the neck and throttled him before screaming abuse at others. Police say he showed no remorse for the attack.
Meanwhile, Lucy Connolly got 31 months in prison for a tweet.
This is Britain in 2025:
Post a tweet = 31 months.
Strangle a man = 16 months.
Justice isn’t blind — it’s politically motivated.

@wightlinkferry You forgot to mention this doesn't apply if your health care needs also include accessibility needs, given you've abandoned accessible access at Portsmouth.

When your day starts with an email from @HMRCgovuk saying you owe tax, likely because @PHU_NHS financial incompetence extends to continuing to pay their staff after they've left. Queue a fun day of emails to @NHS_SBS because they also haven't bothered to issue me a P45. Sigh.

@ohmyinja @darrengrimes @ReformUKSam Whilst I don't disagree this is horribly disrespectful, you don't win the argument by bringinf up things that are decades old like they are disrespectful to things happening today. Do better.

@Louie6324 @darrengrimes Good luck with your back yard even if you don't agree it needs sorting.
English
Yes I know taxes that our taxes pay their wages but the billions wasted on illegals when 🪣⛺️ should be ok for them in abandoned airfield until asylum application granted and stop them prowling our unsafe streets why do these deserve all they get plus how many are fleeing wars and billions on a war that’s not our flag millions to a known terrorist country foreign aid should be stopped for 5years as well
Do not agree that we need to sort out our back yard before any monies go elsewhere
English
@Louie6324 @darrengrimes I agree, our streets probably are unsafe if there's people like you on them.
English
@Louie6324 @darrengrimes Where do you think the government's money comes from if not taxes?
English
@darrengrimes Stop punishing the UK tax payers and using us a cash cow
Billions could be saved by stopping everything given to the criminals (illegals) any more cash freebies ⛺️🪣 each in a secure compound until asylum applications processed
English
@darrengrimes It's a little thing called transparency, and honesty. Look it up.

Smashing a couple of stamps at @BrewDog bars today. Super refreshment from Schofferhofer at @BrewdogChancery
English
@clavedoc @darrengrimes Well, it's brewed in the UK anyways.... The Spanish thing is just a marketing gimmick
English
@darrengrimes That’s a foreign beer! What a disgusting lack of support for our excellent home grown brewing industry
English
@darrengrimes Since when is asking someone if they're OK painful? Unless you are the sort of person who doesn't give a shit about other people I guess...
