BrYan Johnston

@CityofCT how do we request for a sidewalk / verge to be mowed and trimmed? We are finding our sidewalk becoming unusable from overgrowth. I can't seem to find the right section online if it even exists

@African_Spring @geordinhl Well played 😅🫵

@geordinhl Show off. 💔😭

In Cape Town we’re making good progress on the new extension of our MyCiTi bus service, now expanding with dedicated lanes to Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, Crossroads, Philippi and beyond. 🏗️😉 Already MyCiti does nearly 20 million passenger trips a year. Pictured is the Hanover Park ‘sky circle’ currently under construction.

You are not your user. This is a motto so sorely lost by almost all of the new generation of software developers or "visionary disruptors". Introducing things we don't need or like isn't innovation, it's frustration. @CapitecBankSA why can't I disable the selfie "feature"?

So it seems our discounts on Vitality are reset to zero for the month we perform our Vitality Health Check? @Discovery_SA it feels like we are being penalised for checking out our health.

Mind blown! A PowerPoint file is actually a ZIP file! Rename it to ZIP and you can navigate it as a compressed file tree! Wild!

Spare a thought for Glasgow Warriors 🤣

@RoryPetzer Evidently, when it comes to stationery truck puns there's a fine line between a road and a divider.

WARNING: Stationery truck on the freeway. ❤️

@Brett_K73ll14 @RoryPetzer To be fair, Sharks made a similar blunder about 5 minutes earlier, when they had a penalty advantage in their half & decided to continue to bash it up instead of taking the better option of the penalty kick, lineout, bash it up in the Lions half. Pressure of the occasion.

@RoryPetzer As a Lions fan we just need to take this banter and mockery on the chin. We really scored the ultimate own goal in extra time. Luckily I hadn't quite opened the bottle of champagne, but it is back in the fridge 😀

How do you put a cork back into a champagne bottle? Ask a Lions fan. Sorry I love you.😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ #LIOvSHA #CurrieCupFinal

The SteamDeck certainly has dramatically revived my severely restricted gaming life - just wrapped up the next (and second) backlog title after 15 years of waiting and hoping for a chance. 60 hours of gameplay through (with many side quests) and Fallout 3 is finally down!

@JoyChauke5 @ChrisExcel102 Your return flight details, your seat selection, ticket payment method, visa details, everything is in the public domain now.

@JoyChauke5 @ChrisExcel102 Delete your boarding pass!!! You have shared MUCH MORE with this photo than you realise!!!! For instance, I know your age (I won't share specifics but you have a December birthday just before Christmas). You've revealed far too much.
