@SWRailwayAssist feels like every bleeding day for the past month your train service has been an absolute disaster. The £1 delay repay is laughable compensation for your incompetence.

@coynejames @theanalyst Do you genuinely think the red ball is playable with just floodlights on it? Especially fielding, against a black sky. It's dangerous!

@pritishag12 @Athersmike Sorry for bringing disgusting civility to the platform of extreme on-hill dying.

[DT @dt_rat]

@pritishag12 @Athersmike You know what, having spoken to someone much wiser than myself - I have changed my position on this. He's keeping his journalistic standards very high and asking the tough questions. I'm going to delete my post.

@AdamRutherford @TherealNihal What about the aqueduct?

I really enjoyed the @AcquiredFM episode on Microsoft.

I am pretty sure I paid full attention to it, but don't recall even one mention of Bill Gates' mother's VERY close connection to the CEO of IBM (they both served on the same board of a bank). Acknowledge that privilege pls!
