@sashakeable Great voice, good songs, godawful live sound at @ManchesterArena ... which, considering there are absolutely no live musicians, really says something about the capability of the sound engineer. Hoping @giveon uses an engineer with normal hearing & a bit of experience

@ring_uk My 88yr old neighbour recently left hospital following an op for colon cancer. Her Ring doorbell A/C had a single character in error in her eMail. Ring have refused to do anything telling her to wait 15+ days for the device to remove itself from the 'wrong' account!!! 🤬

@WestMidRailway No train on the way out, no train on the return leg either. And no surprises either. WMR never cease to astound at the level of incompetence in running a train service.

🟠 #WMRUpdate1 The line between Wolverhampton - Telford is now reopen and trains are able to run 🚂There may still be some delays & cancellations as we try to work to resume normal service Thank you for your patience ℹ️Delay-Repay: wmr.uk/delayrepay

@WestMidRailway Ella case Why do I bother buying a ticket in advance? The usual cr@p service. Thankfully I gave myself an additional 90min window because this nonsense is par for the course. @transportgovuk @Heidi_Labour why does this company retain its license after years of underperforming!?

📣 #WMRInfo Shrewsbury - Birmingham - Thursday 8th May 🚧 Due to a signalling fault, there will be fewer trains running between Shrewsbury - Birmingham 🚂 Services are expected to be busier than usual 🚌 Rail replacement buses are on stand-by ℹ️ Plan: orlo.uk/dikKT

@SebGorka @VicDerbyshire @BBCNewsnight What a rude, objectionable, obnoxious, condescending, patronising, despicable cunt of a man (and it's the first time I've ever used that word on social media - I considered using some clever colloquialism ... but nothing else will suffice).

@wowcher Never again will we use Wowcher. Their Customer Service people are the most unreasonable, ignorant & cantankerous support I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. They either can't read or won't AND they mislead. SIX days to recognise the error: the day of the booking!

@JDVance Anyone resorting to ad hominem insults has already lost the debate... ...despite the fact you're also entirely wrong with your assertions. Pathetic.

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of 130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.

Just google “ordo amoris.” Aside from that, the idea that there isn’t a hierarchy of obligations violates basic common sense. Does Rory really think his moral duties to his own children are the same as his duties to a stranger who lives thousands of miles away? Does anyone?

@DanMartin86 Warner-Discovery bought GCN, tore it apart, disposed of the decimated remains, transferred the coverage to Eurosport, pulled Eurosport & now has a monopoly to do what it wants. Expect more of the same from people who care nothing about sport would sell their grannies for 💷💶💵!!

Discovery’s decision to increase the monthly fee is a sign of cyclings popularity but also how TV advertising is no longer enough to cover the TV rights. I would doubt there has been any substantial increase in TV rights. But putting a sport behind a paywall that justifies team sponsors marketing spend with viewer figures could cause some teams some major headaches.

@BBCr4today Repeatedly giving the political shyster @DavidMencer airtime to peddle his misinformation and lies while innocent children, women and men are slaughtered en masse - and a genocide committed - in the name of religion. Always the victim, never the perpetrator. Shameful.

@BBCr4today Arrogant, condescending, hubristic. @rushanaraali on BBCR4 this morning. I've argued against, "They're all the same" WRT politicians for most of my adult life. I am fast beginning to think that these days, they really are. Disgraceful stance. Answer the question!

@Top_CashBack Yet another misleading aspect to this somewhat unreliable site: one cashback rate prominently advertised; log in and another rate is made available ... and it's always lower. Well, fancy that! Can't wait for the excuse, ahem, sorry, reason. Platitudinous nonsense.

@sugar_bytes Can't see any discounted IOS products, guys...

@mikejwood And, while you're at it, could you try and respond to the innumerable letters you will have received by now concerning the incompetence of @WestMidRailway? No one I know has even received an acknowledgment from your office. Is this how you think it's going to be!?

@mikejwood So why did you not bother to vote on something so monumentally important as the assisted dying bill on Friday? Too busy...!?

@ThomasDolby One of my all-time favourite LPs ... and I own over 2,500 vinyl albums and 2,000+ CDs!!! Great it's gonna be re-released - my original copy has seen better days - but I'd much prefer it on 200g or 250g virgin vinyl, than some flexible clear jobby! Thoughts, @ThomasDolby ...?

@LouHaigh "📣 #WMRInfo Cancellations Birmingham New Street - Shrewsbury 🚂 Due to a shortage of available train crew many services on this route have been cancelled today 🚌 Buses are shuttling once an hour" Such messages are never-ending. What exactly are you doing about this?

@WestMidRailway And again, @LouHaigh - yet another service cancellation by this excuse for a train company.

📣 #WMRInfo Cancellations Birmingham New Street - Shrewsbury 🚂 Due to a shortage of available train crew many services on this route have been cancelled today 🚌 Buses are shuttling once an hour in both directions ℹ️ Please plan ahead: orlo.uk/6R0hw

@WestMidRailway @Revamped_views There was no "abuse" here and none directed AT you, Ben. There have been hours and hours of near-constant disruption in a manifestly sub-par service. What you read was the frustration shared by many of WMT's customers, most of whom have given up posting: as there's little point.

@Revamped_views @SteveECrane Thanks Gary, I understand where you are coming from. There's a few times where I can say I've been in your shoes on the end of some abuse and it's not nice. I hope you are doing well and don't have to deal with that in the future. -Ben

🔴 #WMRNew -Flooding at Shrewsbury ⚠️ Services running between Birmingham New Street and Shrewsbury have been suspended 🚌 Rail replacement buses have been requested 📱 More updates to follow

@Revamped_views @WestMidRailway No, Gary, that's not what it means. And it wasn't directed AT anybody. The strength of the language merely indicates the sheer frustration @ a service which has been abysmal since WMT began running it. Relying on a sole adjective to marginalise a genuine complaint is pathetic.

@WestMidRailway @SteveECrane Why engage with people who swear at you? It makes them think they can get away with it and they’ll happy do it to staff.

@WestMidRailway @Revamped_views Clearly the colloquial proto-adjectives aren't directed @ U, rather WMT. But when a service has been so abysmally, catastrophically dire for yrs - YEARS, not weeks - just what do U expect? WMT's customers expect trains that run & run on time. We don't all get what we want, do we?

@Revamped_views @SteveECrane I personally understand the frustrations and peoples choice of language when angry can get colourful. I'd rather not have to deal with it But as long as it isn't personally directly at me and breaks our terms of engagement I'm happy to respond.-Ben
