Public account used to mostly moan about things/companies. Otherwise quite a nice, friendly guy. All opinions are my own.

@BBCRadio2 Romesh has Jackson 5; Santa Claus is coming to town on. My 6 y/old eating breakfast in a noisy kitchen asks "are they singing 'Sarah Cox is coming to town'?" @RomeshRang #misheardlyrics #bbcradio2

@BBCRadio2 nearly all the electric chargers in Retford were vandalised recently, with all their cables cut so nobody could charge. Most are still out of action almost a month on.

@bbclaurak running up to the election the tories were telling us Labour would raise taxes - has anyone stopped to ask why the tories were so sure it would happen? Is it because the tories absolutely knew Labour would have to in order to stabilise the economy?

@scott_mills @BBCRadio2 I'm sure I remember a Bob The Builder cover of Mambo No 5 on the Bob The Builder album

@BBCRadio2 M1 between j26 and j25 southbound someone's lost bikes on the 3rd lane. Only just happened. Dangerous.

Just been speaking to my elderly mum, in credit on her bills as she uses less than her current direct debit, and @eon_next have just raised her monthly bill for no reason other than they're corporate muggers. Been a challenge to help her get it reduced again.

Did I hear it right, Rishi is saying pensioners taxes will go up under #Labour , but Keir says he'll maintain #Conservative pension policy if elected, so if there is a tax hike coming for pensioners, it's caused and already in motion by tory policy? #BBCDebate

What are the odds we watch the Prime Minister have a full-on toddler meltdown from public questions again on #LeadersDebate tonight, and would we be questioned by the Gambling regulator if we made those bets?

[Dave @deostel]

Have we just watched Rishi end his career? That was not a graceful handling of those questions #bbcqt

[Dave @deostel]

Christ is Rishi bullying the audience? #bbcqt

[Dave @deostel]

No party is seriously going to house build. For decades housing has been pushed as an investment. Build more houses and you reduce demand, reducing value. And councils are rejecting plans because schools, doctors and dentists aren't planned in #bbcqt

Can anyone actually name 3 shining examples where a privatised public service actually serves the public interest and not the shareholders?
#ThamesWater CEO suggesting people pay 40% more after paying out £45mil in dividends 2022-2023 alone

Also, my 5 y/old has insisted on watching the episode on loop. So cheers for the ear worm.

[Dave @deostel]

So @CBeebiesHQ @HEYDUGGEE who is the face hidden in the Take On Me parody in The Music Video Badge? It's bugging me as it looks familiar but can't put a name to it.

[Dave @deostel]

@Microsoft can someone in the SSRS dev team remove the bloody survey from the Reporting Services package? This pop up prevents scripting reports deployment in @Azure agents, and no, I'm not satisfied with my Reporting Services experience.

This isn't "X, formally known as Twitter" according to my 5 y/old. This is "Kisses", and I'm "kissing you right now" by sending you this message. Elon's got everyone kissing each other. #StuffKidsSay #childlogic

Why is it schools insist on teaching cursive and make a big deal about always using it, yet they send me letters printed using actual comic sans.

[Dave @deostel]

Why is it when shopping for a new phone or tablet, the one device spec that's rarely included in the item details is the RAM? Yes the device might have 128gb storage, but if its got 3GB RAM or less it'll be running most big apps and tasks like a potato.

@alovelikethat @Tesco @StarlingBank I've had a mate suffer this same issue who was strapped for cash and trying to get her dog to the vets, then @Tesco's robbery caused her to not have the funds to pay the vet. Interesting to see when searching twitter for other instances of this, they did it back in 2017 too.

[Dave @deostel]

Im so fed up of #PMQs just being a fancy your momma contest. It should be a drinking game when the Tories blame Labour for something from 13 years ago. That was what; 5 governments ago? I've lost count how many times the tories claim they're not the same party with a different PM
