@elonmusk met this guy running an ice cream boat business and what would you know he’s using #starlink He said that since he’s bought it he’s been able to do a lot more business as it allows him to reliably take #applepay and others.He’s doing so well now he has a fleet of boats
@dunstablian Ah the gold. Amounting to something like £6bn. Western economies aren’t even backed by gold, they’re backed by energy. Thatcher sold North Sea oil/gas to fund a windfall for homeowners if memory serves for a few billion, unlike Norway. That cost our economy around £20tn
@SteSib@Aiannucci To put it in perspective. The BoE bail out of £65bn lost its value in 3 minutes. They bought them at 9am and by 9.03 they’d lost £65bn in value. So had they not intervened we’d be in the hands of the IMF now.
@SteSib@Aiannucci Her results: mini budget meant the Bank of England had to step in a spend £65bn correcting this governments huge mistake. This has stabilised the pound for now. But if BOE keeps holding those bonds and interest rates increase, and they will! Boom! There goes the economy
@jackeryinc@crosstalksol Yeah you need an auto off. I use this for timelapsing and the draw is about 6w. The only way to do it it buy a timer plug that’ll draw 10w every 5 hours for a few minutes but that’s just a pain the A. It’s this one feature that’s stopping me buying another one.
@KermodeMovie@TravelodgeUK 5/5 To cut an already long story short,it appears that TL had just decided to book my room out again and upon realising they’d double booked that room, gathered all my stuff & put it in their office.And just like you said @KermodeMovie they acted as if this was completely normal.
@KermodeMovie@TravelodgeUK 4/5 At this point the woman on top grabbed the bed sheets for cover dived into the bed.I slowly backed out the room in a daze & headed back to reception confused.Did I give them the wrong number room?I was sure I didn’t & if that was the case,where was my stuff?
I needed answers.
@KermodeMovie@TravelodgeUK 3/5 However, not only was there someone in the bed, but there was someone on top of the person in the bed. That’s right, I had unwittingly walked in on some sex. They must’ve been so into it that they didn’t hear me and in my confusion I yelped “what the F*ck?!” …
@KermodeMovie@TravelodgeUK 2/5 This time the led blinked a satisfying green and I opened the door,only something appeared to be amiss.The curtains were drawn,lights were off and two bags in the far corner. Something about it didn’t seem right & as I walked into the room further,I noticed someone in the bed
@KermodeMovie@TravelodgeUK 1/5 Whilst I was working in Hackney a few weeks ago, I stayed in a @TravelodgeUK. My first night when well, left for work that morning only to return that night to find my key card not working. Thankfully, I was able to get it reprogrammed and returned to my room…
@CEOAdam You need to combat this kind of negative press with more pictures of your cinemas and people enjoying them. As a shareholder I think hiring some photographers to show your cinemas safe with clean comfortable environments and people enjoying that experience would be good about now
@CEOAdam As a shareholder & former cinema projectionist of 7 years, I’d like to share one idea.Why don’t you offer space for TV studios to show their season finales?Imagine if you’d have done this with GOT,would’ve been huge.They’re shows that’d benefit from the cinema experience
