If I were Exeter, I’d be fuming. Mid table when Caldwell left, and now he’s just allowed us to roll over today to as good as relegate them.
He’s done a fantastic job with us, no question. But that is as unprofessional a performance I have ever seen. #wafc

It's almost been a week. So what's everyone's favourite track? 'Scream, If You Want To Go Faster' / 'Grand Prix' / 'Hot Wheels' / 'Two For The Road' / 'Interceptor' / 'Silver Shadow' scopitones.co.uk/post/brand-new…

@Frank_in_sense_ Big cheer from the crowd when he could finally hear him

They've redubbed this.
But was Paul McCartney heard in the stadium at the time or just not on TV?

@jamescunnington It did. They must have performed some audio wizardry

Er, didn't Paul McCartney's microphone fail?! #LiveAid40 #LiveAid

@dannyb86 @russty_russ The BBC doc is worth a view if you haven’t already seen it.
English

@killerbadger @russty_russ I’m 38, so although too young to remember it 40 years ago, very know from news coverage and YouTube ever since what it was all about and so it’s great to see the BBC airing something just a bit different and broadcasting highlights from this momentous occasion. More please! 😊

Keep dipping into #LiveAid40 and I’m very much enjoying!
From a geeky point of view, aside from the donation details (which they have addressed with a “please do not donate” caption), were there any technical faults during transmission at all? If so, will they re-broadcast them?

@tweetystee @davidvance One big drawback to this is that UK only apps like NHS for example won’t be accessible. It sucks all round really.

One work around for you.
Subscribe to a decent VPN service like Nord or whatever.
Set you location to Ireland (because they speak English or USA if you want the biggest app store).
Sign out of iOS app store. Sign into
The .IE or .com iOS store. Note they only let you do this once per year so people don't surf around cheaper regions.
Using a VPN is also good practice generally for data protection and security.
I run one living in Spain to appear like I'm in the UK so I can access English language internet. I notice no difference.
As for your other question it's iOS or Android...it doesn't matter about the phone manufacturer just the OS they run.
Google in the UK offers end to end encryption on messages, you can turn it on in Drive and Gmail but it's not available on Photos.

@Wes0306 @DanLord78 Yep. Thanks to people like you who can’t even spell.

A Ukrainian woman in the audience points out that support for Brexit has fallen on the floor & maybe it’s time Britain stood up & led Europe in the fight for Ukraine.
Fiona Bruce laughs & moves on quickly.
Why does the BBC not want to talk about Brexit anymore? #bbcqt

@ReinardSchmuli1 @Lord_Talbot64 If there was another election tomorrow they’d still win. Would you like them biannually? Or maybe monthly? Hey, let’s make it a Thursday thing.
English

@Lord_Talbot64 Out of interest is there a legitimate process whereby the majority of British public can force the Gov to declare a general election sooner than the 4.5 years ?
If no, then the law needs changing

@TheStingisBack To this day i can never explain why this is funny but it's f'in hilarious. For some reason I thought it was Vic though.
English

@RealBasedBrit @afneil Did you miss the election we had a few weeks back? The one where he got a landslide? Any more votes you want to rerun? Like one from 2016? Or just ones you dont like?

@colinrtalbot Didn’t she say whisper it quietly but rishi is making a comeback ?

@GNRailUK Communication has been terrible. No one has any idea how they are going to get home tonight
English

@killerbadger Hi there, there is a train scheduled for 23.08 delayed 34 minutes. There is also a 00.09 train. ^Ben

@GNRailUK The live gner train times says there are no trains past Stevenage
English

@GNRailUK I'm being told there are no trains beyond Stevenage. How do I get to Foxton?

Well @thekillers just did the coolest thing ever on stage as England won the semi final...

@kashmere2u @ThePeterBriggs Totally agree with this. Incredibly moving scene.
English

@ThePeterBriggs This movie was a work of art. Too bad you can't see that. The scene where he goes back thru the worm hole & it's been only a couple of days for him but it's been decades back on earth and he watches all the family videos he was sent in that time is poetry. It's gut wrenching
English

Name a popular movie which you’re not a big fan of? My pick:
"Interstellar." One of the dumbest movies ever made by a feted director. Laughably plot-hole filled, insanely boring, with a terrible score that people actually cite as one of their favourites. And...that sound mix!
