Many thanks to for the delivery of a birthday cake which was thrown over the gate. Sure it looked nice before it was chucked. #CustomerServiceFail

@bt_uk And it continues. Only thing reliable about bt is the guaranteed monthly bill and the increase in cost over inflation. Internet down yet again.

@bt_uk worst value broadband provider on the market. Dropping in and out of important meetings for months because of poor Internet. Tried to resolve many times. It's gotten worse. Guess who's switching next month!

Supposing Jimmy Anderson's run-up is about 19 yards, and he's bowled 40,002 deliveries in Tests...

Well that's 760,038 yards, or 430 miles.

Which is, by chance, the distance on foot to walk from the Utilita Bowl to Chester-le-Street via every Test venue in England.

90% of books sell less than 2,000 copies. 50% less than 12 copies! Publishers survive by spreadbetting across 1000s of new titles, gambling $$$ on celebrity books, then kids books, backlist sales of bibles, LOTR etc & the odd breakout “sexy vampire” series https://t.co/2PfjJZb6Ty

Saudi Arabia has announced plans for “Leyja” — a group of three new dramatically designed hotels on the west coast of its NEOM mega-development. Each will be a luxury boutique of just 40 rooms with a distinct theme: adventure, oasis and wellness.

The ‘SunLife’s Cost of Dying Report’ (https://t.co/LEBfEwPMRQ) is fascinating. It tells a story through cost data. From Covid to a Cost of Living crisis, a thread on key takeaways from the report (1/11)

There are other solutions like having a space recycling facility to collect and process for re-use in space, allowing nudged debris to be burned up in the atmosphere, plus probably more solutions.

It’s a problem that thankfully is being looked at seriously!

Who knew funeral costs were increasing greater than inflation?
