@SharkNinja 2/2 Your customer support now says I should return the one sent to me & put in a new order. A lot of hassle for me when it was YOUR customer support that gave me the WRONG info. It's not right. Please fix this by simply sending out the missing tools I was promised.

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@SharkNinja Before purchasing,I asked your customer support if AZ3900UKT & AZ3900UKTBK came with the same accessories.U replied "Yes accessories are the same".So I went &bought the AZ3900UKT but now realised it's missing 2 tools.Your help desk now says they're not the same.What??

@Morrisons

Went to @Morrisons in York Foss Islands in January, parked and did a massive shop with my son. Got fined for staying too long in the car park (I can't have been that much longer that the given time!!)...didn't notice the letters about the fine till now!!! I'm livid!

@celt_cardiff That is so great to hear!! Glad to hear that Voices is providing all the different skills and language practice that your students need!

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@celt_cardiff It's so great to hear that!! Thank you for the lovely feedback! What are some of your favourite parts of the books?

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@MrChrisJWilson @EmilyBrysonELT Thanks Chris. I think discrimination against accents is an issue that gets a lot less spotlight than discrimination against someone's appearance or skin colour. And the solution isn't to change one's accent but to change the prevailing attitudes towards certain social groups.

@McDonaldsUK This was how the MacMuffin was served to me....half unwrapped! The McMuffin was clearly thrown into a bag while it was falling out of its wrapper. Shocked! Why bother with the wrapper if you're going to do this?

@LaytonWilliams Aw thanks! That's great! That said, I told my kids this evening and they were jumping up and down with excitement shouting Lakita! Lakita! Then when they heard there is no upper age limit, they insisted I sign up too....so I did! Lol! See you in Manchester!

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@LaytonWilliams I have a question, Layton. We are watching you on the Strictly Live Tour in Leeds on evening of 2 Feb and you're teaching in Manchester on the morning of the 3 Feb! How are you gonna manage such a hectic schedule? Respect!

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@julie_keig55056 @LaytonWilliams I would totally go for Leeds too!

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@LaytonWilliams Yes absolutely! My girls would absolutely love to join you in Sheffield or Leeds!

@kimjoyskitchen Hopefully, see you again at the next big gaming convention and we'll drink and chat again? Are you going to UKGE?

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@kimjoyskitchen Great to get to know you and have that interesting discussion about identity!

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@IvanBrett I know the video is a little long but I hope you'll agree that it's time well spent watching it. Personally, I found the parts about culture and language particularly interesting as it relates to the work I do.

[Chia Suan Chong @chiasuan]

@IvanBrett Great to meet you this Airecon, chat and play games with you!! Really enjoyed our interactions!
BTW this is the video about the history of social deduction games that I was telling you about:
