@InPostUK hello! I ordered a parcel from @ASOS which EVRI has said was delivered to a locker yesterday but I haven't received a code or pin to collect. Can you help please?

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

@SlamDunkMusic hey! My boyfriend lost his phone at Hatfield last night. Was told to get in contact just in case it had been handed in?

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

@mothernerea I will always laugh at your embarrassment.

@willjennings80 A similarly slippery Calatrava bridge opened in Bilbao TEN YEARS EARLIER. It now has a non-slip mat along it. Additionally, the structure's movement cracks numerous glass tiles costing the city apparently €6Kpa, & he sued the city when they made it more pedestrian friendly.

@HelloFreshUK when I reported that the smashed avo & Bacon brunch was entirely missing from my box (Again!) I was added a credit of £3.77, about a fiver less than I paid for the meal? Is this a joke?!

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

@HelloFreshUK I've been using you guys for 8+ and years with no issue, in the last 8 months nearly every box has had multiple items missing. Every breakfast ordered, the bag of food is missing and I'm tired of having to contact the team to get money back. What's happened?

@classicpenguins hello! I bought a copy of the 70th anniversary Flappers and Philosophers, but it's missing its dust jacket-you don't happen to have any spare?

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

@CTilburyMakeup Hi I sent a query about not being able to use my gift card over a month ago and have heard nothing for the last 16 days. I was told on phone that there was a lot of enquiries after Black Friday, but mine predates that! Can you help?

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

@mothernerea I can make you a new cover when you come home. I'll get some better varnish.

Ps. You look beeeeeautiful

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

Or the fact that these small businesses will seemingly need to find & elect 25 barons to invoke said clause

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

How has it gotten to the point that people are looking for lockdown loopholes in a document from the 1200s? Inventive and ridiculous, bravo.

As a medieval historian I am afraid I am going to have to remind divorced twitter once again that Magna Carta does not refer to "the people". It refers to the nobility, which your local pub is very sadly not.

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

Not to mention that only four(?) clauses of the Magna Carta are still statute

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

@MaynardsBassett I brought a bag last week with only one green! Not the first time either. There's a reason (or 3) that I don't buy the 'red & blacks' packs. 💚💛🧡

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

@mothernerea Nose ring lacking.

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

@DrDoyleSays I've been listening with absolute horror. Looked him up - can't believe he is STILL giving advice, some contrary to medical advice (recently telling people that they were 'meant' to catch viruses instead of the trauma of self iso). Can't believe the arrogance & lack of remorse.

It was a competition held by @BAMConstructUK and @Saracens . We were 14 years old, the only female-only team, & I'm pretty pleased/smug to say we won 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

I should have added that this was due to amazing support from @WatfordGirls . From the team below, two of us went onto become engineers, one is teaching and the other is an architect. Projects like this are SO important for kids.

[Amaia Harries @amaiaharries]

.@annie_2012 just reminded me of the BEST rugby stadium we designed for the @Saracens 17 years ago. Clear solar panel roof (that slides & has a screen projected onto it) & recycled bottles everywhere. Look at that all-female multicultural design team https://t.co/JE0mFG2wPL

“SO YOU DON’T LIKE RACISM, BUT YOU’RE IN THE UK AND FEEL POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING?”

I have had several conversations with friends who have recently felt powerless as to what they can/should be doing in response to some of the atrocities in the US.

Here are some ideas. 1/?

@twcuddleston Hey at least it's clear that the angry people can't notice a bit of humour regarding life experiences! Can you imagine how serious and dull their lives must be!?
(I did an engineering degree. In 10yrs I've been asked about dissertation once. Thank god 22 yo me did not know this.)
