@tuiukmanager I appreciate your speedy reply but I’d feel safer speaking with the official handle / customer service team in DMs rather than give my personal number out. With respect, you could be anyone.
@TUIUK morning team. Am due to fly back to Gatwick from Sharm later today but online check in will not work (no seat change or confirmation). Also says check in closes three hours before flight time- is that just online? I will still be able to check in when I arrive at airport?
@sseandme hi there, can’t get through to your customer service department on the phone - connection is awful and I keep getting cut off from the same customer service advisor. Can you help another way or call me back? I’ve no heating. Thanks very much.
@51stFestival hi team, just reading through entry info for 2mrw- my sister is coming to stay with me & coming direct to site so will have an overnight bag. We’ve booked a locker but can she really not bring any toiletries (no liquids- so contact lens solution, perfume etc..?) 😕
Today is Shakespeare's birthday.
2023 marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of his first collection of plays, without which many of his greatest works could have been lost. Take a look:
This is a terribly moving and important thread. We all know the Titanic story and remember the anniversary this week, but to see these faces, their names, so many lost at such tragically young ages… hammers it home in a way the documentaries and movies will never match… 😢
@thisislaurent Aaaaaah, so THAT is what was going on today! I saw fabulous outfits and did wonder. Politely asked a security chap who only knew it was “somefink for fashion” 😂
Clearly I should have loitered longer!
For the first time in a century, two ground-breaking paintings by Turner have come home for a very special exhibition, 'Turner on Tour'.
Find the pair of paintings, on loan from @frickcollection, in Room 46 this weekend. Even better? It's free to visit! https://t.co/3LBGbFnE8T
@TimFrost23 It’s the antithesis of all that ‘look at my sourdough starter - taking up cool new hobbies - curating a positive outlook Instagram feed’ that we were told was the way forward at the start of the pandemic. It’s fully embracing your inner slovenly grub and letting it take over 😁
As someone who readily embraces #goblinmode at any and all given opportunities, I am delighted to see the term being given the official recognition it - and the ‘zero-fecks-given’ feral state of being it describes - deserves 😁
@TimFrost23 Drinking juice from the carton because you can’t be arsed to reach a glass from a cupboard?
Wearing & sleeping in the same joggers for a week because you have zero plans to leave the house?
Forgetting when exactly you last washed your hair & not caring?
Goblin mode, my friend.
Wrapping all the silly and fun things I’ve bought for myself to open tomorrow is definitely the most surreal flex of the #solochristmas experience so far 😂😎
