Views expressed are my own, but I hope you empathise... I am creative, in pursuit of the ideal life, keeping to a motto: Always be learning.

Bye. It’s not me, it’s you.

@Pret Please, take the time to make up your mind. I don’t have the patience to work out whether it’s worth my while retaining my subscription - and I don’t care to know whether I get good value from £30 a month (or not) - I just want it to ‘feel’ like I’m not being ripped off.

@FedExHelp What is the issue with redirecting a shipped order to allow
me to collect a parcel from depot? I’ve been refreshing since yesterday, and now it’s out for delivery! How are we supposed to prevent an unnecessary transport, if your systems don’t provide customer input?!

It seems the emergency hotline provided for @bovishomes isn’t up to much in an emergency. An on site alarm in BS49 has been ignored by (or not connected to) @ASPolice @NorthSomersetC and @Countryside_PS and is still going strong after three days. What was the point?! Insurance?

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

Is there a chance that someone for @Countryside_PS can help silence the alarm on your construction site in Congresbury, North Somerset? The alarm has been sounding for 48 hours, so if anything was nickable, I suspect it’s now gone…

@stillawake There’s an unfortunate & oft repeated behaviour when the M5 gets clogged up, as it has today; drivers in transit to SW cut down the M4/M32/A370 to rejoin the M5 at J.21 - it’s probably the consequence of SatNav redirection. If it were a school day, Bristol would be gridlocked.

Does this apply to @realDonaldTrump ? There were definitely tweets involved, and he’s very sour about the unfairness. Does an electorate count as an ‘employer’?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill.

No limit.

Please let us know.

@hedgerows @Criterion It does add up quickly, when there’s more than one… How much spare time do we really have?! But, I agree - owning it doesn’t mean it’s the greatest quality - which is particularly an issue with 80’s/90’s movies. Hoping ‘Local Hero’ and ‘Room with a View’ can be improved…

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

@hedgerows @Criterion Ah, but is it just Linklater’ ‘Before…’ series, with Hawke & Delpy as producers…? How much is a Criterion sub over there…?

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

@LeTour @ITVSport Am I missing something with today’s stage (via ITV4)? If the stage lets the riders coast along like the Sunday riders looking for a flat white, is there actually any point to the stage..?

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

Hello @AppleNewsUK - do you respond to Tweets, or do I just wait 18 days & try again..? Or do I contact @AppleSupport ?

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

@AppleNewsUK Please can you explain why I can block a ‘Sport’ Channel but Apple News editors can override this preference and give me a ‘Sport’ Channel. I detest Sports reporting, perhaps even more than the sports they report. Let me choose NO to Sport!!

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

This is ‘fresh’ as company livery goes, but can’t help think the greys are so poorly matched, as to look like the actual letters weren’t mounted. Or fell off. Or were pinched.

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

@Steve4Yatton Unless it’s one of those entrapment ‘episodes’ where they get all the wanted suspects in a room, then lock the doors…

Today's complaint: how is it feasible that any form of unsubscribe request takes 28 days?! They've been pestering me for 10 years with the 'it's been 12 months since your last test' nonsense. What happened to GDPR?

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

Published only 3½ hours ago, and already closed for comments. What was the point of making them available at all? Seriously disagree with the critic, but maybe watching a show that entertains using caricature is too low brow for criticism? https://t.co/pflBPbaQHX

Hi @WestmorlandServ - disappointed today at [Gloucester Southbound] by lack of lamb in flatbread, dirty cutlery, trays piled high, & absence (IMO) of colleagues to help. Do you really expect visitors to be enticed by any sauce called ‘money shot’? Seems questionable.

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

@Twitter Please stop asking me to turn on Notifications; I really don’t care that much, and you’re not persuading me to improve on that perspective…

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

@tom010113 @BenAndo It saves fuel, and reduces risk. The average HGV can take the top half of a vehicle clean off in the event of a collision, occupants included, so driving fast & close is not advisable. In the ideal world, they wouldn’t share roads with passenger vehicles.

[Andrew J. McD @ajjmcd]

@Baldy_Baldy_ @BenAndo The biggest irony, is that drivers at lower speeds are the ones getting better mpg & expelling lower emissions.
