@TravelodgeUK Just experienced terrible customer service. Tried to book a room via booking system. Website froze so had to call premium rate number. Get told that the same room is now £10 more expensive! What gives???
@tomwhoscontrary Our teams are using Winston. Deploying Nextjs to K8s. I'm not working at the codeface but the devs seem to like it. We're using Azure and plan to use Azure Log Analytics with Grafana.

@stuartjs74@darrengrimes Georgia, Armenia and Chechnya beside Ukraine. Similar modus operandi with destabilisation tactics, false flag operations and exaggerated claims of threats to Russian citizenry (mostly russian speaks who are offered passports shortly before the ramp up in tensions).
@michiamojim @stuartjs74@darrengrimes Imagine someone standing on your doorstep, pointing a gun at you, telling you who to talk to, what to read and what to have for dinner. That's Russia's sphere of influence.
@stuartjs74@darrengrimes The long history of Russian aggressive behaviour towards its neighbours means Ukraine is right to be fearful. Forget the rhetoric of missiles. This is about dominance over territory the Russians view as theirs.
@stuartjs74@darrengrimes NATO is intrinsically non-aggressive. It's a defensive pact. Membership is driven by democratic desire of states to achieve and retain independence and sovereignty.
Russia (Putin) is playing a long game, seeking to re-establish it's sphere of influence.
@PCOwen_a@JamieMagicT@stuartjs74@darrengrimes Not much in the grand scheme of things. Compare those amounts against US GDP at the time. Barely enough to keep the lights on for a month, let alone comprise a Marshall Plan. The West thought it had won and did nothing more than the minimum to bring Russia back into the fold
@shirleymcbrinn @groves2130 @MrNishKumar@Julesmadworld As Stephen said, start with some Chapel Down and go from there. There's some stonking wines out there - things have come on leaps and bounds 👍
