@vuecinemas I don’t normally complain, but #VueNorwich Screen 5 was unbearably hot tonight due to broken AC. Spoke to 3 staff, all said it’d been a problem all day but clearly hadn’t been briefed on what to do. No warning given, check it’s fixed before booking. Email sent. #sweat

What a beautiful morning 🌞
Stepped into the garden and was instantly surrounded by birdsong 🐦🎶

Thanks to the Merlin app, I can now tell who’s singing! Nature’s music, now with names 💚

Love that @FirstNorwich Park & Ride is just £3 return — great value! But if the aim is to reduce car use, shouldn’t the same fare apply to standard buses too? £6 return across the city discourages greener choices. Let’s leave the car at home. #Norwich #SustainableTravel

Gave this old bench a second life 💪
Replaced the rotten wood with beams from an old chicken coop + leftover decking. All scrap, all reused. Proud of the outcome! 🪵♻️ #DIY #Upcycled #ReclaimedWood

Big changes on the horizon…
From 2003 to 2020 I spent much of my free time at sea with Tall Ships Youth Trust. Since the ships moved on, I’ve been searching for the next adventure.
A new course is set — compass pointing closer to home. 🌊🧭🏛️

Why I don’t bother with EuroMillions anymore?
💸 60+ million tickets sold every draw
🎯 20 draws in a row without a jackpot winner
Those odds? Not for me. I’ll pass on the fantasy tax. 😅 #EuroMillions #LotteryLogic #OddsAreWild

I can’t say what…
…in Nov, let’s just say I won’t be queuing 🎟️
I’ll be “gettin’ down” with a view, vibe & drinks”Everybody get up” but I’ll stay seated. when “the lights go out,” I’ll already be living my best life

Absolutely loving the cycle to work along Marriott’s Way—T-shirt & shorts weather! Left at my usual time, but beat the traffic, got a shower in, and was at my desk just as quick. Feeling great. #sustainability #health #summer 🚴‍♂️☀️

@zak_nelson22 @FirstNorwich But the bus I use doesn’t go through those roadwork. And actually I don’t mind if roadworks are the reason. But the experience I had last night had nothing to do with the roadworks

[John Venes @NorwichJV]

So I don’t like to complain. But in the last couple of months my experience with busses in norwich going to Costessey has been horrendous. And tonight tops it off really. How are people expected to use public transport when it’s so poor! @FirstNorwich

@LinkedInHelp @LinkedIn could someone please help. I have sent emails that had an initial reply but then it all stopped, I’ve been charged over £1000 and I want to find out how to get it back and stop it happening again. Thanks in advance @LinkedInUK

Is anyone else having a problem ordering from the @BandQ website? I have just tried 4 times and each time the payment goes through and I get an order number, then about 2 mins later I get an email saying the order is cancelled and the money has gone back into my bank? #b&q
