@StagecoachGM This has been every single night for weeks, I swear most of the services not even running- had to wait 45 mins for either the 256 or 255 yesterday

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

@StagecoachGM Your website does not say this….and I got one about 6 weeks ago that went down talbot road

Still clearly says talbot road for this bus route on matchdays (which was a much quicker diversion and meant those
Of us in gorse hill could still get home).

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

@StagecoachGM Since when? Only ever been talbot road since I’ve lived here, and your website still says talbot road on the timetables for both routes

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

@CrossCountryUK Sure once I’ve recovered from heat stroke (fingers crossed I don’t collapse and delay the service hey) i shall be complaining for sure- shocking

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

Oh @CrossCountryUK please for the love of god make it cooler on the 11.27 from Manchester, it’s a full train with people standing in aisles and in this heat people will start getting Ill/faint

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

@CrossCountryUK Sorry but not good enough, cross country have been getting worse with Less services, no catering and delays (experienced all of these in the last month) and now have to pass out due to over heating- someone should be controlling numbers in this heat if it prevents air flow

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

@CrossCountryUK Also, not just uncomfortable- it is going to make people collapse, I’ve three more hours to go and already feel faint

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

@Seatfrog I don’t understand how@I’ve been outbid and not got a seat when I’ve clearly bid more and I was bidding well before 15 others (started minute it opened) my neurodivergent self is fuming

Today's #IWD2022 amusement - watching companies scramble to delete their fluffy IWD Tweets after @PayGapApp re-tweets them - but with their gender pay-gap stats attached. I deeply salute whoever thought of this. It's deadly genius.

Last post date for me, 27th November, making bets with myself when I’ll actually get stuff I’m waiting for

[Manchester News MEN @MENnewsdesk]

Some infuriated people even claim they haven't had any post delivered for more than three weeks 😡 https://t.co/552GXRJ2Pw

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

@RoyalMailHelp live in M32, haven’t had any post since End November, same as hundreds of neighbours (you are not popular on our community Facebook groups!) we keep being told no issue but clearly is, I’ve been expecting tons of mail and nothing

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

This article is horrendous, how it was allowed to be written, People just think it’s ok to ridicule fat people, I don’t know a single person who fights fatphopia other than plus size people

[Ross McCafferty @RossMcCaff]

Sorry what the fuck?

[ilona burton @ilonacatherine]

To spare you all from reading the article - I did, and it's even worse than it sounds. Liz Jones, who lives with an eating disorder herself, spews fatphobic bile in order to promote her first novel. I hope it ends up pulped into porridge.

Thread: everything I learnt from complaining about transphobia in women's organisations this year:

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

@upton_girl Aww thank you my lovely 🥰

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

Love this

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

My heart will take a while to calm down after that! #lineofduty @jed_mercurio is a master of the cliffhanger

[Lucy Birks @lucybirks]

That episode was insane, but what a cliffhanger #LineOfDuty (and @martin_compston what a shot to that sniper)
