@EurostarUK hello! I've had a support ticket open for 10 days with no response (it's through your salesforce portal). It's definitely there but nobody seems to be listening.

[Ben Longden @blongden]

@BBCSimonJack I disagree! I think is brilliant to have that point of view. Snooker is such a solitary game and you just don't get to hear this sort of stuff. More of it for me!

@MarinaPurkiss To be fair, British steel should have never been sold to the Chinese.

[Ben Longden @blongden]

@Sonos No I get that. But despite your best efforts I can't reliably turn the volume down. Or up. It's a horrible experience. I have people yelling me in the house to turn it down and I literally cannot. The system cannot respond fast enough. Why is it not sorted? You have had a year!

[Ben Longden @blongden]

@Sonos why is the app still trash? It's been a year or more and I still can't change songs without timeouts and speakers randomly disconnecting.

@MarinaPurkiss Vance is an absolute peice of shit. A playground bully. A disgrace.

@Nigel_Farage First thing you've said that I don't disagree with.

[Ben Longden @blongden]

@SecRubio @POTUS Can't see a bunch of bullies for what they are? You defend what we saw happen yesterday and think that was anything but two grown men provoking and bullying a man who's country has been torn apart by three years of war and speaks English as a second language. You've lost the plot

Once again I have to ask:

Americans, do you really accept everything that just happened in the white house?

You just witnessed the moment that destroyed the last remnants of worlds trust in the USA.

[Ben Longden @blongden]

This list just makes me sad. All the things I like are on the left. Why are we so bad at this on this side of the Atlantic?

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

Let's make Europe stronger by buying European!

Here's a very Nordic-centric list of alternatives, but I also want to hear your favorite substitutes for American products.

@ScotCitylink There's been a crash bug on iOS for months when you try to buy a ticket. I've reported it a few times but I still can't buy a ticket on the app. Plus all the obvious problems around user experience when selecting a ticket.

[Ben Longden @blongden]

@ScotCitylink No 8:45 from Ratho station this morning? BTW your app is STILL broken.

[Ben Longden @blongden]

@SavingSessions 24p/kWh is rubbish. Normally I'd have charged my battery up in the run up but it's not worth it! My import is 25.63p!
