@LJ_School The school was positively quiet compared to the Nunthorpe open evening. Is there any concern that the Ofstead "inadequate" has put people off? Is there anywhere we can see the 2019 GCSE results side by side?

@simonclarke84 I hope our local MP will support the petition against this madness. UK businesses need the ability to flex, contractors are vital to a stable economy. https://t.co/6WmlFtGANS

@SwannCaron @jessphillips If your child is intelligent and has been raised with empathy they won't bat an eyelid.

@vicky8751 @jessphillips The prevent strategy is out looking for mean tweets, avoiding this sort of thing for fear of appearing racist.

@jessphillips You had me at 'women weren't created...'

@EE Apologies. The one thing @ee can do. It's a lot cheaper than actual service.

[Drew Watson @ITPM_Blog]

Having the most frustrating time with @EE. They have my phone for repair (no cable remains seated in the device) and in 2 days they can't find a fault. 2 calls now where they've tried to tell me that their 'trained' testers can't replicate an issue though my 8 year old managed.

[Drew Watson @ITPM_Blog]

@EE They've suggested I raise the issue with @Google as its a #pixel2.

The sooner I can get away to @VodafoneUK the better.

[Drew Watson @ITPM_Blog]

@EE Oh Jo, how wrong you were.

The team are utterly without power to do any damn thing.

Basically just been told that @ee are "not responsible" for the independent repair centre. THEY CARRY YOUR BRANDING, YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

[Drew Watson @ITPM_Blog]

And just had a text from the @ee repair centre saying the phone is being returned to me. Unfixed of course.
Looking forward to shooting a Youtube video showing the defect to expose their utter incompetence.

If Engineers in my team behaved this way they'd be looking for work.

[Drew Watson @ITPM_Blog]

@EE They admitted to having no idea what to do and were going to just send it back! I couldn't get a manager so I have a complaints email address to speak to instead. Absolutely the level of service I've come to expect from #EE if I'm honest.

[Sponge Bob Test Pants @RobMeaney]

In order to be a great modern tester having great testing skills is just the foundation, we need to be focused on delivering a great product. This requires product management, uiux, technical and data science knowledge.

Day 1 complete of the rightly lauded @coachingacademy 2 day #coaching introduction in Leeds with @Agile_Bert. We've had the privilege of 3 top class coaches so far (including @AnnSkidmore ) Can hardly believe that this intro course is free! #lovelearning

Hi @AgileYorkshire is there an event tomorrow?

[Drew Watson @ITPM_Blog]

@neil_killick What do we do in Change/IT? We automate people out of their jobs.

Because people are resources just like machines. And when machines are cheaper/better, they become the preferred resource for the job.

[Drew Watson @ITPM_Blog]

@Agile_Bert @AgileYorkshire An interesting set of talks. At least one of which made me very uncomfortable. But it's good to ditch the comfort zone.https://t.co/EagsMFkwSi

@ScrumTales All we can do is work towards it. #agileutopia
