And of course the following 31 is already ten minutes late, which is more understandable than leaving early.

No thanks to the #cannyGNEdriver no. 30 17.18 to Slatyford, who left the Grainger St stop early, while I was running to catch it. Check mirrors, check time?

I hope you announce to bring back the original actors’ voices, otherwise I doubt that I will renew my subscription in the new year.

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

@duolingo I have been a subscriber for years with a long streak in Portuguese. I enjoyed innovations like the stories with actors’ voices bringing it to life. The new AI-generated ones are awful. The characters sound the same in a flat tone and nothing like the original voices.

I also find the correction of errors no longer seems to happen and it feels like technical effects are favoured more than language learning.

@maxrushden I don’t remember such glee or ridicule when we beat them 3-0 and took the CL spot and used to come 2nd like they do. A little respect for the Europe League Champions please, and less of the swipes. Ange was right about the media bias. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@Trip @thetrainline @thetrainline do you have any comment on how you were able to double-book this reservation? The gentleman tells me he bought it from you today.

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

@Trip l bought a train ticket with a seat reservation weeks ago from Bristol to Newcastle and the same seat was sold to someone else through @thetrainline today. A very busy train with few spare seats. How does this double booking happen and does it happen often?

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

I read that there has been a price hike in the last couple of months of around 6%. But this is way beyond that. Is there a problem with the ticketing system? Because if tickets are now increased by 30-40% 5 days ahead this is clearly an incentive to drive.

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

@LNER last night I was searching for return tickets from Newcastle to Brighton for this Friday. Typically the prices for this journey vary between £86 and up to £150 if you leave it to the day or the day before. Now the cheapest prices are all £200.

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

Today a very kind and #cannyGNEdriver on the 47 who saw me running and stopped at Teams street to wait for me. Well done that man 👍🏻

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

Less than #cannyGNEdriver on the 10a who just drove on while I was running and signalling to stop on Team Street, only to have to stop at temporary traffic lights up the street for several minutes anyway.

@UPS my package was delayed by a day, and now delayed further, if I try to change the delivery day because I will be at work I need to register an account and pay, for your unexplained delays. This is not the case with other U.K. services. Appalling service.

@SpursOfficial 1 shot in target, no goals, no neck oil in the bar again @BeavertownBeer

@thevoiceofspurs And after the game?

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

@BristolAirport how about some charging points around the departures lounge? I’m just

@maxrushden @JohnBrewin_ @larssivertsen Will this triumph over cliches inspire better punditry about Tottenham Hotspur?

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

@SouthernRailUK That’s encouraging, thanks, Wiktor.

[Jonathan Sapsed @JSapsed]

@SouthernRailUK since the 8.14 to Brighton was cancelled will the “problem at the depot” affect the 9.14 as well?
