@Iberia_en Makes sense… but I’d never plan on a quick connection through Madrid again, as it seems to require not only a punctual arrival but also incredible luck (and speed) navigating passport control, inter-terminal trains, security etc.

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

@Iberia_en what’s a reasonable amount of time to connect in Madrid? It seems that even with an full sprint it’s near impossible! Why sell the ticket in the first place?

@lufthansa it’s awfully lonely in my tweet thread. Care to join the party?

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

@lufthansa refunds on seat bookings when a flight is cancelled by Lufthansa. What’s the chat? Any way to sort this that avoids having to listen to hold music?

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

Ummmm... I guess I take it that Twitter is the wrong address to seek advice then?

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

Hi there @Lufthansa_DE... 1.5 hrs on hold, short conversation then another 1.5 hrs on hold. Any other way to get support?

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

@davidfarrier So do the support structures of traffic lights count as traffic lights or is it just the parts with actual lights on them? Are cars’ shadows also part of the cars which cast said shadows? Asking for a few thousand MIQ CAPTCHA friends.

I’m not going to post a photo of my #homeoffice, but if you close your eyes and imagine the sound of chainsaws, that’s pretty much it.

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

@andrewhunterm @guy_mont @Tim_Batt I believe have some views (shared across several hours of podcast) on that particular topic.

@edmuzik @A_G_Hawkins CC to the BCC: That is definitely once more often than I, now if we talk INSIDE the house...

@MrJoshThomson Plural Burger Kings?! (Or is it Burgers King) I fondly recall “the” Burger King (Bay Hill OG)

Getting pretty decent opening/closing doors at work with elbows, feet. Little pinkie strength all time high.

Big news on the work front. @ACI_Worldwide is teaming with @mastercard on #realtimepayments: https://t.co/wM716c6G8h

@edmuzik Why not keep dry spaghetti at the ready in used 40oz glass bottles? #AlDenteGoals

@LloydBurr @patrickgowernz Hopefully the “pull up the drawbridge” mentality subsides... despite no immediate plans to “come home” who knows what happens in the months or years ahead? I can’t imagine too many are electing for 2 weeks managed isolation just for beer and skittles?

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

@LloydBurr @patrickgowernz Twitter hot takes are so depressingly reductionist... the motivations and situations of Kiwis needing or wanting to come home must be so varied, but outrage and indignation (in either direction) seems the viewpoint du jour.

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

@alexmarshall81 Education takes precedence over festivals? Seems strangely logical...

[Chris Taine @chris_taine]

@A_G_Hawkins Is the study of the study of history “Historioriography” or “Historiographygraphy” then? Asking for a frame.
