@NS_online I have bought two etickets for Saturday to travel from Zwolle to Hoogeveen. I land at Schiphol on Friday afternoon, but now due to the train strike I cannot get to Zwolle. Please can you refund my etickets?

@British_Airways what's going on with BA2656 from Gatwick to Alicante? We had to disembark the first aircraft due to an engine fault. That was 3 hours ago and the lack of communication has been deafening.

@tomwilliams1974 Good luck with your next chapter, and thanks for engaging with me.

Some personal news ⬇️
It’s with great pride, and some trepidation, that I’m letting you know my time as a parkrun staff member has come to an end.
Fourteen years ago I gave up my safe and secure lecturing job to volunteer for this wonderful movement, and everyday since then I’ve been fortunate to enjoy the most incredible journey. Time and again we’ve faced challenges, as we’ve grown from a handful of events to over two-and-a-half thousand, from one country to over twenty, and from a few thousand people to many millions. Following Paul Sinton-Hewitt's lead, we’ve challenged accepted norms, found new and innovative solutions to complex problems, and worked tirelessly to bring parkrun to as many people as possible.
Sitting here reflecting on my experiences, the clear common thread through every memorable moment however has simply been time spent with the most amazing people. The relationships that parkrun has brought me have enriched my life in ways I could never have imagined, restored my faith in humanity, and demonstrated time and again what incredible things we can achieve when we work together toward a common goal.
As with all good things however, there comes a time to move on and explore new adventures. For me, that time is now, as with both excitement and nervousness in equal measure, I’m stepping into a new chapter of my life. I’d like to thank everyone who's put their trust in me over the years, stood by me when times have been tough, and pointed me in the right direction when I’ve wandered off course. Thank you.
As for parkrun itself, whose journey I often think about in human years, I first experienced it when it was just two years old, I've seen it grow from a toddler to a teenager, and as it’s about to enter its twenties, the future is incredibly bright. I feel immensely proud that the experience parkrunners all around the world enjoy today is so similar to that of the first parkrun pioneers back in 2004, and I’m excited to continue my journey simply as parkrunner A6013.
Thank you for your friendship, love, and incredible parkrun passion,
Tom

@tomwilliams1974 Alicante would be perfect!
I think parkrun would be a big success in Spain. Mum (pictured today) spends a lot of time in Jerez, so somewhere in Andalucia too please. 😁

@vinnywhufc @donhutch4 I went to this. My only visit to the Dell. 29 years ago, feeling old.

On this day in 1995, West Ham drew 1-1 with Southampton at The Dell with 15,178 in attendance. @donhutch4 scored our goal.

@allgrungerock I saw that live. Would love to see Garbage at Glastonbury again.

@DanielleHutch73 @parkrunUK Top touring Danielle, well done! Are you going anywhere special for your 200th different event?
English

@parkrunUK 59 different 5k locations and 84 volunteers so far this year. Should be 60 runs and 85 volunteers by the new year 🤞🤞😍

@AerLingus I have a confirmation email and booking reference but no details appear when I try to manage my booking. Also no money taken from card.

@normal_danny My PB is at Riverfront, it's a fast course. Well done.
English

@normal_danny As soon as I replied to this, I thought it would bite me in the arse! Looks like Rice will be a gunner after all. I thought he'd go to Chelsea. You've just bought a Rolls Royce of a player.
English

@normal_danny What a great way to finish his time at West Ham. Happy to be proved wrong, but I can't see him joining Arsenal.

@RunChallenges Thanks so much. The extension gives me so much enjoyment.

@FloandJoan I saw you on Saturday and thought you were so so funny! Your show was one of the highlights of the festival for me. Is a tour on the cards?
English

@DaveGorman thank you for a great show tonight, very funny. Haitch is one of my pet hates!
