@paullewismoney @Moneybox Paul. Would advise that lady to keep her pet at all costs. While my wife was away recently I realised how a pet (or two) can bring purpose into a day. A reason to get up if it's a bad day!

@paullewismoney So many people feel this airline treats its passengers unfairly. So why use them?

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

So my wife has spent the day being passed back and forth between Nespresso who have confirmed the machine is faulty and the John Lewis the merchant not accepting their responsibility under Sale of goods act!

@SolarTogetherUK Accepted my personal recommendation 7 days ago, but the link you sent me requesting my deposit now says the auction has finished. The terms and conditions say to pay within 10 days! Please advise!

@newscientist why can I find new scientist item in a google search, but using exactly the same term in the app I just get pages of stuff very loosely related. Annoying when I log in to read the article search has found, I’m told i don’t have a subscription!

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

@o2 over 12 minutes being told I’m in a queue, no indication of where I’m the queue, and then the call is dropped. Given your letter says I HAVE TO PHONE to discuss my end of contract options, leaving may be easier!

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

Can someone explain please. The number 10 flat belongs to the nation. Why is there this fuss about how refurbishment was paid for? Shouldn’t each new PM just be given an allowance to “redecorate”?

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

@paullewismoney Watch out for the clause, buried deep, that criticising the government will be included.

@myhermes ordered and paid for a collection. It was unilaterally marked as unsuitable for collection. Our Ring doorbell shows no one attempted to collect the item which is well within the package dimensions and is not an item on the prohibited list. What is going on?

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

@Mainframedirect Good to see your web sites says you are operating as usual. So when can I expect my order to be dispatched please? 7 days since it we acknowledge but no further response from yourselves.

@GrahamRMeadows @scrumpyh3 @SusanMichie Fruit and vegetables may have pesticide residues, meat may be from animals that have been vaccinated against animal diseases and fed antibiotics. There are so many unknowns in everyday life. The COVID-19 vaccines seem well researched and closely examined by comparison.

“police, council workers, firefighters and other agencies will visit homes to carry out on-the-spot tests of everyone in the household.”
REALLY - another vector to take COVID-19 from house to house and your self isolating home.

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

@DeborahMeaden So isn’t the problem one of communication? When AZ realised it needed to increase capacity, it should have put the option to the EU “vaccine now but at a slower rate or a delay but then more vaccines quickly”

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

@DeborahMeaden @BorisJohnsons R there any Drive Thru vaccination centres? Like this : check emailed bar code: into to parking bay and a chock put under front wheel(like for Spitfires to stop them rolling away) mask on , arm bared, window down, injection given, window up, feel bad Flashers on else Chocks Away!

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

@Peston In a world where each glove counted as a piece of PPE, will putting the needle into the vial count as an injection?

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

Happy New Year. May it bring you all the good times and all the good things you hoped for.

Wikipedia- if you want my donation, don’t have a “privacy” policy that allows you to sell my details to everyone.

@paullewismoney I know your not the BBC but this headline is so misleading “A police officer accused of trying to buy a £9.95 box of doughnuts for seven pence by sticking on a cheaper barcode” The article then says he scanned the same (carrots) bar code twice. Not the same!

[Thor @Boy_Quiet]

@DeborahMeaden Almost everyone has some area of real “expertise”, either a hobby or job related. Wait till your paper, whichever, comments on that area. Judge it’s accuracy with your expert knowledge. 90%, 10% or somewhere in between. Reasonable to assume all others item same % correct.
