@UPS_CH "pay us some money in 7 days, but our phone number doesn't work so you can't query it"!!! I hate UPS

So @FlySWISS appears to think its acceptable to rebook me and my five year old from a cancelled flight into seats several rows apart. This can only be changed at the airport as the flight is full - what are the chances of being told to go home again? 😳

@AlexisRalphs Looking forward to more bite-sized reminders of all your great advice 😊

I’m trying something new. Social media has been a challenge for me. I love writing and sharing ideas. I love conversations. But I don’t enjoy the pressure and energy required to grow a following on Instagram (and then copy-and-paste it over to Facebook). I spend too long writing the post - and finding just the right picture. It’s a real time suck. Twitter seems like a happy medium. Quick to post. Quick to reply. What do you think? Would you be interested in following me here? A chance to ask me questions and start conversations with other 100 Toys subscribers. There are tens of thousands of you but you haven’t had the chance to meet. To celebrate my 'launch' on X, I'm giving away course memberships to five followers, chosen at random. All you have to do is follow me and leave a comment below. You can ask me anything, or simply say 'hello'. In particular, I'd love your feedback on how best I can help you in future. What's missing from the blog and the courses? How can I make your life easier? I'm looking forward to meeting you!

One of the worst things about human life is that every 18 months you have to call Sky and pretend that you're going to leave them until they find a magical offer which halves your bill which apparently didn't exist when you first rang

In my piece for @NATO Review, I share the stories of three Ukrainian women: a civilian, a servicewoman, and a war crimes investigator. Let's amplify women's voices not only on #InternationalWomensDay but as an integral part of our coverage of Ukraine. 🔗nato.int/docu/review/ar…

@AerLingus customer service UK telephone number wait time is over 1h 23mins - I wonder what the actual time is as I had to give up for dinner (and sanity)

@AerLingus customer service UK phone number has been telling us to hold for 50 mins, what exactly is the wait time? Shall we hold on??

🌊 𝗨𝗞 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 🌊 Twitter and the media is awash with lies, half truths and misconceptions about the state of UK rivers, sewage overflows and water privatisation. It's a complicated topic, it's going to be a long 🧵

@susie_dent The quintessential definition of bayard.

Of all the words written about the catastrophe of the past week, this letter in the FT sums it up best of all. And it’s worse than we might have thought.

Made this one for you @mrjamesob

The BBC should now do 11-days of nonstop documentaries and features on republicanism, the crimes of the British empire,the dangers of unaccountable elites, and working-class history. For balance.

THREAD. While we were in the EU, Our UK govt and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) had many running battles over water & air pollution. UK govt kept trying to be lazy on pollution. The ECJ kept trying to hold UK govt to cleanliness standards it signed up to. Some articles...

Word of the day is a reminder of 'ipsedixitism' (18th century): the assertion that something is 'fact' based on one person's opinion.
