Benjamin Cooke

@tracey_thorn Phew! I think I said this when I bumped into you in Hampstead once. didn't want to distract from your day but was great to see you.

I would say, "Love your work!" and keep walking. This to me is an always acceptable approach. A simple compliment, ask for nothing in return, and be on your way.

@PoliticsVeteran @jeremycorbyn I've written about domestic UK issues, problems with the economy that have been created by government ignorance and even about the dreadful treatment of minorities in Chechnya. Nothing. I'm half expecting he might start to reply now its an election period.

@PoliticsVeteran @jeremycorbyn Its tricky bring in the constituency when there's such high regard for his JC's name but few with the experience of actually trying to engage on an issue that, I assume must be outside of a handful of his pet causes.

A better world is possible. We just need to fight for it. Come and join our people-powered campaign at votecorbyn.com/events

@alex__ross @jeremycorbyn I last had a reply in the 2015 election period where I raised concern on housing quality and the need for reform of the rental market. I've written 6 times since about different things and he's just not engaged.

@rainingBen @jeremycorbyn What did you write?

@virginmedia VM cancelled the appointment this morning as the issue is a network problem. I already knew this but your agent insisted we book it. You've sent me this now. It's not fixed at all but your website says there's nothing is wrong. What's actually going on with the listed issue?!

@rainingBen You're welcome Benjamin. Is the appointment showing in your online account? You can check here: virg.in/myVM

Day 3 of Schroedingers outage. @virginmedia sends texts telling me the engineer is both on their way and has been there today, while their website tells me there's nothing wrong. Connection still pretty much dead here and communications about it are pathetic.

@virginmedia Thanks for the reply. Bafflingly your colleague on the phone has insisted I book an engineer for Friday afternoon. Doesn't seem to know much about this issue despite me sharing the ID. Still no idea why your website denied there's an issue.

@rainingBen Hi Benjamin, sorry to hear you're experiencing an area issue. From the fault number (F0111) I can confirm that there is an outage raised. My apologies for any inconvenience caused, the team have been working on this all day today and will be back on site tomorrow morning.

@rexthedog1980 watching last week's totp rerun, great to see you on there as JX 😎

@GergelyOrosz I use justwatch to check where a film is available and whether it's included in any streaming services. I agree it's a pain though. justwatch.com

Paid to rent a movie on Apple TV which then kicked off with a Netflix logo. I did not realize it’s a Netflix original (I’m ofc subscribed to Netflix) How is it that there are so many streaming services that you need an app/search engine to tell which movie is licensed where…

@thatbloodyMikey Did you watch the doc about canon films that came out a few years ago?

Guys, I F*cking Love this film.

Finishing off this Shithouse of a Christmas, by watching *MY* Star Wars. Masters of the Universe (1987)

@phil_marriott It is a pretty good listen, once it arrives

@KidKasio I never realised how much that chorus strains the voice

This is NOT the version that was released I swear. It’s like they’ve taken the bass and keyboards out and just left the drums . It sounds awful. #outherebrothers #totp

@sainsburys This is bonkers. Its as if your checkout staff routinely broke your biscuits up while scanning them. You need to do something.

@sainsburys Today 2 bags were burst open and left broken crisps on my floors and over crates underneath. Driver said many customers have same issue and he feeds this back but those who do the packing dont care.

Hi @sainsburys getting fed up of orders delivered from your Haringey store arriving with the crisps smashed up because they routinely pack heavy bottles in the same crate. Spoke on the phone to store just now but they just speak in cliches and no connection to issue.

@brokenbottleboy It's easy to play but hard to stay awake while you're playing it, and trying to work out where we are in the song.

@brokenbottleboy I'm a huge Bowie fan of many years but think Heroes is nowhere near his peak. Always seems to be the one people choose to cover since he passed away
