The usual fast delivery from @TheGamesmenAU means I have some new heroes in time for a weekend games night #GamesmenSwag

[g|e|c @glenec]

Weekend sorted! Great prices from #GamesMenSwag

@WatchItPlayed It's also weird and clumsy when rules books constantly say "...he or she may..." every few lines instead of "...they may..." It's more inclusive, but if nothing else just reads better most of the time. If there's concern about singular/plural then say "...that player may..."

@Optus Everyone just reading and re-reading the script that @Optus is doing a great job protecting my account without actually wanting to help is beyond infuriating. They are in full on PR mode and even less interested in helping customers than usual.

[g|e|c @glenec]

@Optus handing all my personal data over to hackers was bad enough, but spending over an hour and a half on the phone to their customer service and still not getting any kind of resolution to my issue is the icing on the cake.

@MoonpigUK This is some of the spammiest deceptive design I've ever seen from a 'reputable' company. Why do you feel the need to take advantage of your users like this?

[g|e|c @glenec]

Notice how the text quietly telling the user they are going to lose £15 a month doesn’t use the £ sign so it doesn’t attract attention. This is not some random decision or error, this has been designed to trick users

@optus : Hey there, looks like we gave your personal info to some dude in Russia! Lol!!!

Also @optus : Here’s your bill. You have 17 days to pay in full (if you still have access to your own bank account).

Thanks guys

@joelycett Wait a minute… you’re just trying to get us to google Joe Lycett, giant donkey dick until that becomes a thing, right?

@Herring1967 Imagine what would happen if you lost two

@Aramex Thanks @Aramex for making such public offer for help with your little emoji and everything then doing absolutely fuck all to help - not even a follow up message after I dm'd you. Amazing service. Still no parcel as it's been in your warehouse since 21 March

[g|e|c @glenec]

@Aramex using flooding as an excuse to not deliver package from Sydney to Sydney even though the floods have subsided now and I was able to drive past their depot this weekend without getting my tyres wet. Really shitty service.

@425suzanne @Gamegenic_ @FFGames I love Marvel Champions so much. It feels like home. I bounce around playing other games and enjoy them a lot, but I always come back to Marvel Champions.

Argh fuck @Twitter and it’s home tab.

@NPR They also said batised spelt with a z, so I guess all the others are invalid too if the specifics of the human-created language - rather than the intent of the words - matters that much

@VICE It's really not a mystery - just ask @JohnLewisRetail https://t.co/tkzYptpUhi
