📈 Cost of food up

📈 Cost of energy up

❗️ Many people will be facing a bleak Christmas without urgent cost of living support from the government.

💚 Time for genuine pay rises and a £15 an hour minimum wage.

@thetrainline Yeah, still not clear. I bought the only ticket listed under the "return within one month" banner today. Turns out that's £70 more expensive than the one I need. Anytime Vs off peak isn't clear in this case. Managed to cancel that and get the cheaper but you made an extra £10 fee

[Just Ollie @CaptainWalters]

@thetrainline confused why the "open return" I paid for is showing up as an "off-peak day return" ticket. Feeling pretty upset that your app has screwed me out of my return journey here folks

[Just Ollie @CaptainWalters]

@thetrainline So I've bought a number of open returns through you and they've all been return within one month. Checking the app now and the same day return is the top option. Have you changed the layout of your ticket options?

@crablabuk Automated tests

[Just Ollie @CaptainWalters]

Dev twitter I need a hand;
Testing something doesn't exist is bad practice because that thing won't exist if an error is caused or if that thing is renamed later it could still pass when the test should fail. What do you do to avoid making these tests?

Tory's wanna help you earn more yeah? Only of you're a banker

Reasons why I know boosters work; Spent last weekend isolated with 2 people who after leaving tested positive for Covid. I am negative 🎉

Ngl I'm disappointed in this. Of course the company statement is that nothing is going to change, but if that were completely true, why would Sony buy out the company? I feel this is yet another symptom of the Microsoft/Sony exclusive war raging on

@BenjaminEHowe Surely they could use one device alone. They have 2 logins as well so apparently the government hasn't heard of single sign on

[Just Ollie @CaptainWalters]

Wondering if anyone else has 2 laptops given to them by their job?
Friend of mine has been given a surface pro 4 to do just HR things and a Mac for Dev work and that seems like a huge waste of money.
Oh and they work for the government, so they're paid for by taxes..

[Just Ollie @CaptainWalters]

@Dropbox I got baited by your free trial. Fancy giving me a refund for a service I won't be using at all this month? Perhaps sneaky trials that ask for credit card details are a bit morally reprehensible?

[Just Ollie @CaptainWalters]

@BenjaminEHowe HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope you did your taxes 💰💰💰

[Just Ollie @CaptainWalters]

Can we like move new years to spring? I feel like the first day of spring makes more sense than mid winter for a new year

I've impatiently waited 1yr 8months for #FF7Remake on pc. Had thoughts of buying a PlayStation to be able to play it, but held off to see it on pc. However for £70 I will fucking wait another 18 months for the price to be reasonable, come the fuck on @SquareEnix

Dear Amazon drivers,
There is this great new invention called a door. I have one. Please use it when delivering me things, as opposed to pulling up in the vicinity of my house and giving up immediately
