Come say hi on blue sky bsky.app/profile/whatne…

@British_Airways hey! trying to book a lounge at T5 Heathrow for my flight to Sydney - but Priority Pass says the terminal doesn’t match and that the flight is at 8pm? Has there been an update that doesn’t show in app yet? Flight is supposed to be this Friday 13th 9pm. Thanks!

Birthday boy 🥳

Anyone who’s been to Japan have any food/landmark tours you’d recommend? Need them for Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka. Link me up! X

Morning sun and coffee in bed. Was just missing some company.

@StueyC1 Wooooooah!!! So impressive

Taking stock of the progress over the last couple years.

Blows my mind that @goustocooking is still in business with the totally lack of control of its delivery partner. Yodel is trash. It’s tarnishing your brand. And it seems to not only be us experiencing this. 2nd week in a month with no delivery. Now gotta go shopping. Useless.

@jmrh_89 Apple TV has been filming the series near me in Canary Wharf the last couple months!

This is a good book.

It’s nuts that a supposed top airline like @British_Airways wants to change us £240 extra for our long haul flights San Fran–London to pick seats. Wild behaviour. Why is it not included? Or at least a reasonable cost? We flew on Singapore airlines, same plane, to Asia, for £40

@jmrh_89 Fuuuuuuuuuuuck 🥵

Fun day.

@danieltharris @GXSE8P Yeah I did! And yeah checked the url and the links etc.

@whatneildid @GXSE8P One I got was legit. Triple check the URL is the official Nintendo store etc. Did you order in the end? I wasn’t going to since I missed the boat at general retailers but then got the email thought I may as well

How are the Switch 2 preorders going in other countries? Like the UK, Japan, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Australia, UAE, Poland, Netherlands, Mexico and more?

@danieltharris @GXSE8P Got it too. Been trying to validate it wasn’t a scam!

Had to enter my Nintendo account details to go into a queue (was number 18 and had to wait 1 minute to get in). Wasn’t expecting the email I thought they’d already gone out. Believe this has gone to switch 1 owners with something like 50+ hours in Nintendo games or something like that. Not sure

@jmrh_89 YES! It’s so odd. I sometimes wonder if it’s less the gym and more when things are routine? The repetitiveness makes me introspective, ‘is this all it (life) is’ vibes

Does anyone else get sad at the gym? I try to preoccupy myself in-between sets by tidying and organising the weights (I can’t help it). But when that’s all done the sad, intrusive thoughts creep in. At least it’s sunny outside!

@British_Airways That’s what I’m doing and it says it’s happening. So I should head to Heathrow then?

@whatneildid Hi , currently Heathrow Airport is closed and is likely to remain so for today and no flights are currently departing or arriving. Please keep checking the status of you flight via our website as the latest information available will be updated there.

A statement from British Airways following the disruption at London Heathrow Airport on 21 March

Gym goers/commuters. Anyone use a Built for Athletes bag Or rec another tacticle bag brand? Can’t decide on litre either. Needs to carry: gym shoes and gear, work laptop, breakfast, lunch, snacks, water bottle, shaker, grooming kit, and small bits like glasses/headphones

@jmrh89 Hang it in the louvre

Goodnight x

@British_Airways Thanks for the reply, Liz. Finally managed to get through and all sorted. needed it sorted as I would definitely go on to forget haha

@whatneildid We're sorry your flight has been cancelled, Neil. Send us your booking reference via DM along with as much information as possible so we can take a closer look. We'll ask you a few more questions for data protection. Liz twitter.com/messages/compo…

@British_Airways hey team- you’ve cancelled my flight and I’m given no option but to call to rearrange a new flight but every time I call it just says you’re busy and it hangs up. Flight is a while a way, but I need this sorted as it will have cost implications. Help!

@oldladycarter @ClubLaSantaUK Is it all class based? Or is there a gym for self-guided training too?

@whatneildid Have you seen/been to @ClubLaSantaUK if you're into sports/fitness, it's the best!

So I have loads of annual leave to use up. I want to go somewhere sunnier (doesn’t have to be hotter) but that has great fitness facilities either at the hotel or a PAYG local gym. Not a set retreat. Any recommendations? Thinking Europe but open to ideas.
