@betconnect Hi guys, why so few EW arb opportunities this week?

@TheLastLeg #isitok that the energy companies seize upon the OFGEM price cap rise as another opportunity to boost their profits? Why does the price you *can* charge have to be the price you *do*? #Greedflation

[Neil Smith-Jones #FBPE 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 @NeilSmithJones]

@BritishGas Interesting phrase, "...how much [we] *can* charge...". Can = will, of course. #greedflation

@SimonMillerUK I know, right? Our players have so much confidence this season.

@themarkrad Really enjoying "Reelin' in the Years" as my current holiday read. However, you cost me a point in the local pub quiz last night: in the 1978 chapter, you imply that Fleetwood Mac released "Rumours" that year; in fact it was of course 1977. Otherwise 5 stars.

@bbcweather Is it normal for the wind to be permanently north-easterly, as it has been in the Midlands for most of spring so far? It's really taken the edge off any sunny days we've had.

@leamgreens What does this graphic actually mean? 2021 was a County Council election and you came 4th. So what statistic are you referring to? I'd be delighted if the Greens beat the Tories tomorrow, but this sort of marketing is unfair on the other opposition parties.

@CrossCountryUK Seriously, how can on-train WiFi be *this* bad in 2023? It's like you haven't upgraded since 1999. #lostthewilltolive

@ShellEnergyHome shamelessly sending people "tips" on how to reduce their extortionate gas and electric bill. They made £9 billion profit in Q3. Maybe just lower your prices you greedy bastards #energybills

@HarleyShah If someone was insane enough to want to buy this, I 'm sorry to say I don't think there's anything anyone could say to persuade them otherwise.

[Neil Smith-Jones #FBPE 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 @NeilSmithJones]

@StagecoachMids Merry Christmas, thanks for the 15% price hike. I can see why it was needed, given your paltry £23 million annual profits. At some point those who can afford it need to nip this vicious "cost of living" spiral in the bud.

[Neil Smith-Jones #FBPE 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 @NeilSmithJones]

Tories' advice to consumers is presumably to buy shares in Shell and put the dividend payments against their fuel bills...

[Neil Smith-Jones #FBPE 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 @NeilSmithJones]

@StagecoachMids After navigating through your byzantine phone menus this morning, I finally reached the "we are currently experiencing high call volumes" message and sat on hold. Why do you (and other service providers) think it's OK to prioritise your cost savings over my time?

[Snaphappy @snaphappycat]

Odder than odd #kwasikwarteng and very worrying behaviour

#HorizonsLive If we could build a spacecraft that went *really* fast (1% of SOL, say) and send it off towards another star, how likely would it be to get annihilated by a rock or something? Surely it wouldn't be able to steer out of the way at that speed?

@usopen Why are your ball kids all overweight and slovenly? A world away from the military standards of Wimbledon!

@bt_uk You are *not* experiencing longer than usual wait times, this is absolutely the norm. Why do you, and all other telecoms, banking and utility firms, persist with this nonsense? You're fooling nobody. Just employ an appropriate number of people to answer the phone.
