@KellABainbridge@yoostv@LNER How did you get on? My pending payment has gone out despite me going to Leeds Station in person to report the issue and being assured that the pending payment would drop off. I therefore bought new tickets. Not impressed, @LNER
I’ve just checked my student finance for a nice depressing read.
I also left uni 10 years ago (first to come under Plan 2 🙃), with a debt of just under £40,000.
After a decade of repayments, it’s now reached… £48,905!
In 2025-26, 70% of my repayments were wiped out by interest added.
@Artemisfornow This isn’t a bad thing. It’s been like this in France for years. In fact, my self assessment tax form is sent pre loaded with the amount of interest I’ve received. I have no problem with that, makes it easier for me as an honest person!
@LizKershawDJ I drove through Calais last week. In fact, I stayed overnight opposite the car ferry. I found Calais clean, tidy, and felt overwhelming safe. Not a migrant camp in site. Or indeed any migrants. Lots of bars and restaurants. No one hassled me for money unlike in U.K. towns.
@VictoriaCoren It’s definitely a proverb. If, like me, you read Noel Streatfeild books as a child, you might have come across it in ‘Gemma’. Gran quotes it to her after she stars in the school play.
4 days ago we rescued Lando from a chain where he was starving to death. The end was near.
Not in his wildest dreams did he think he’d be getting a whole roast chicken for lunch just a few days later… (1/5) 🧵
There has got to be a fairer, simpler, more efficient way of selling tickets that isn’t so open to touts, scammers, resellers & bots 🤯
#Oasis
In the queue, out of the queue, refresh / don’t refresh, wait in line, back of the line, accused of being a bot… timed out 😵💫
Bumped into Noel Gallagher Yesterday in the Stone Island Shop in London, boyhood dream to walk into a pub for a Beer with Noel & Liam, trumped that with my children making memories and just hope I can get tickets next year.
A true gentleman in scholar 💪
Little Buttons came into our little sanctuary @wearehappydoggo in Thailand looking for help.
A year ago I delivered her over to @liamgallagher and her perfect forever home.
I told her you are safe Agent Buttons, now get to work getting the band back together… (1/4) 🧵
Hey @MaldronHotels.
I'm being contacted by several people who booked your hotel for the Oasis concert, to say their rooms have just been cancelled and are now back up for three times the price.
I'm sure this is a "computer error"... easy to correct.
Do the right thing.
@s8mb I live here. Promise you that work-life balance is way better. The French haven’t embraced a 24/7 culture and they live well for not doing so. Yes, you have to accept that Sundays or Mondays are quiet days, but read a book and relax instead.
@Alison_Inman@NoContextLeigh@cheesymike I loved this too. My children always found walking round Leigh with their grandparents incredible too, as they’d stop to talk to everyone and get nothing done. So it resonated. https://t.co/rbDKf21qoi
