@AppleSupport The download for iOS 18.7.7 fails to verify for install .... looks like a signing issue since all the usual fixes don't work. Apple community says many customers who cannot take iOS 26 are facing the same issue with the 18.7.7 download

@CrossCountryUK The question is how delayed as I have an appointment yo make

[Iain Liston-Brown @ilb013]

@implausibleblog Let us not forget the £34Bn wasted by the previous Government on Track & Track. How can anybody spend that amount on an IT project? This is almost 50% of the cost of HS2 which is a multi-year construction project

@JustinNSGA 40+ years before Kubernetes (K8S) there was TS/MP with Pathmon. HPE NonStop was light years ahead of the industry delivering modular component-based applications, elasticity and fault tolerance without special app coding. It's a brilliant container for today's microservices

@elonmusk Cheers Elon, the Thesaurus defines the word disinformation as falsehood aka fake news so thanks for the warnings - we have been warned

@ATaylorFPGA @clairebubblepop Schools don't get enough money - the DfE benchmarking site demonstrates funding per pupil head declined since 2010 since Michael Gove was Education Secretary. He reduced school capital budgets impacting repairs & increased NI & redundancy comes out of existing school budgets

Great podcast interview of Greg La Follette by Jim Duane about Burgundian techniques and commercial vs high end viticulture, winemaking & letting vines express themselves https://t.co/pTObQVkEvU

@jamiegoode There are some beautiful vineyard scenes across Sonoma and Mendocino as well as Santa Cruz Mountains

[Iain Liston-Brown @ilb013]

@jamiegoode amazed there's not the usual plethora of RP, WS and WE points on the shelf labelling

@timatkin @GavinQuinney @gregsherwoodmw @villiera @GrahamBeckSA I agree Tim, Graham Beck's Classic Cuvee and the Rose are both excellent but of the two I prefer the Rose for a bit more intensity and autolysis

@jamiegoode @CalifWinesUK @CalifWines_US Did you get to try any of my old friend Greg La Follette’s Marchelle bottlings? Big fan of PN & PM from van der Kamp vineyard. I love his wild fermentations to express the vineyards. His history as a winemaker is fascinating

[Iain Liston-Brown @ilb013]

@timatkin @ozclarke I saw that live 🥳

[Iain Liston-Brown @ilb013]

@carolvorders @BBCNews Let us not forget the monstrous waste of Dido Harding and the Track & Trace IT system. It's budget was HUGE at a reported £22Bn and it overspent by £10Bn-£15Bn. The IFS talks about a budget hole for the next Government ... maybe this is why?

[Iain Liston-Brown @ilb013]

What an oxymoron, Michael Gove MP as the Levelling Up Secretary .......... the man who single handedly slashed school capital funding, per pupil funding and 3 year budget cycling when he was Education Secretary from 2010. Check out the DfE benchmarking history on funding
