@ryanair - this is my last hope as your phone and chat are useless. I didn't get the extra leg room seats I paid for. 14 days ago the chat agent said I'd get an email and closed the case. No email arrived. Your call centre was a bot. How can I get my refund?!

@kiradavis On a four hour flight this week the guy next to me watched episodes of Coronation Street solid for 3 hours without head phones. I was murderous

I’m in an airport and the guy next to me has been watching videos with NO HEADPHONES. It’s so annoying. I finally took out my phone and started doing the same. But I made sure to slowly increase my volume over his. He looked over at me like he was super annoyed. And then turned off his phone. Maybe we just need to start matching the energy of these main character narcissists.

@MartinSLewis During my undergrad degree someone kept making anonymous donations into my bank account. Noone in my family knew who it was. I still don't know almost 20 years later 🤔

TELL US: Have you ever experiences an unrequested, unrequited act of financial kindness? When someone you don't know has helped you out without being asked (or maybe you helped them out) Please reply here, & like your faves, some will be read out in my podcast.

Well this cold serves me right for being cocky about not getting a cold yet this term 😭🤒🤢

@romanpalace Only if Huxley goes to Bluesky too - I love you, but I love Huxley more

We're thinking of opening a BlooSky account. Chuck us a like if you'll follow it. If we get enough likes we'll do it. If we don't we'll do it anyway because you're obviously already there. Vive la Revolution! ✊

What a difference a day makes in the world of X

And so it begins... #GladiatorII

My sad claim to fame is that, in 2021, I listened to the Gladiator soundtrack more than any of my fellow 246million @Spotify subscribers. As such, this 36 second new version of Sorrow, potentially, gets me more excited than 246million others. That's my argument and I keeping it!

@glaukothea On this basis, I will be the immortal, ageless HAF that the Faculty never knew it needed ... (it doesn't!)

@HaylesD We all still have it in us to hubristically subdue nature and invite divine retribution.

God bless the student who just described Xerxes crossing the Hellespont in the essay I am marking as an act of "youthful arrogance". He was 38 at the time.

@ShivajiShivaLaw have you seen this?

I know people are leaving Twitter, but the algorithms also seem to be mysteriously (or not so mysteriously) working against some of us. I know that some followers of mine have somehow automatically unfollowed me (without them doing that), and that my posts are hidden or buried. I like sharing science, archaeology and a bit of humanism here. I still enjoy the conversation. So if you can help me find my old followers again by RTing, I will follow you back.

Happy #WorldMentalHealthDay ♥️

@romanpalace This! This is why I'm here! Hello Huxley 👋😍

@HaylesD Huxley doesn't discriminate.

We've been told our posts aren't sufficient;y "on message". So here's some of our Roman pot. Happy now? 🙄

Can't imagine anyone would ever want to be an archaeologist but not fancy £40k of student debt. But, in case such a weirdo exists, this may be of interest...

Progress on the final room in the house to be renovated. It only took us 6 years to around to doing it 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

This is what it looks like when you buy your labradors a toy every week (and this is after 2 big sort outs in 3 years) 🤦🏻‍♀️ #dogsoftwitter

Open Day time!
