@InPostUK are you responsible for Yodel service now? Was supposed to have a parcel collected last sat. No one turned up, contacted online chat twice each time to be told it’s being investigated & I’ll be contacted in 24hrs which didn’t happen. I just want a new collection date!

@O2 been trying to upgrade my phone for 24 hours. Each time it fails at the £1 payment page - I’ve tried Apple Pay, Paypal and entering card details. Nothing works- are your payment systems broken?

[Spin @Monkey__hanger]

@markrichardwood @StellingRobbie I’ll buy the pies!

@LloydsBank @b4jzkgmk7m Im having the same issue. Can’t send payments online to existing payees or create new ones. I get a code 131513 - tried ringing the online help but it warns of 30 mins wait.

@sarahjo60329006 I’m 45 this year and we had all of those things!
What do you mean by non-native? My ancestry dna profile says I’m a Viking? Does that mean I’m no longer welcome? My family tree shows relatives in the 1700-1800’s coming over from the Netherlands? Can I get my EU passport back?

For me there’s only one contender for Person of the Year.
Gisele Pelicot.
The woman who has recalibrated how we think about rape by refusing to feel shame.
“It’s time we change the way we look at rape”, she said outside the court today.
And…more than anyone I can think of… she’s done that.
“Shame must change sides”, she said, and perhaps – perhaps – that is a little more true today than it’s ever been.
But there’s something else that I want to talk about. Something that’s much more difficult to confront than the inspiration and dignity of Gisele Pelicot.
51 men.
51 men who are not all men… but who are also quite a lot of men. 51 of them in fact.
And if you read about them… their backgrounds… their jobs… their families or lack of family… they’re all quite different.
A firefighter…a nurse… an unemployed alcoholic.
Some were abused as children. Some had comfortable upbringings with kids of their own.
Six had domestic violence convictions. 45 didn’t.
One was 27. Another was 74.
There’s no pattern here. Nothing we can point to. Other than the fact there is no profile of a rapist. Which is perhaps the most frightening thing of all.

Dear @axa I’m a neurologist here, please read this thread 👇and alert whoever your medical director is….as they are in grave likelihood of facing a fitness to practice decision by failing to consider the insured persons best interests

@autcareandshare Well done but it’s bloody awful that you have to go to that level to get the support you are entitled to. I have similar experiences with LA funded care for parents with dementia.

@JaneyGodley So sorry Janet - thank you for all the times you’ve made me smile.

@ClaireLBriscoe This plus f1 and cricket on the TV!

@ohadelaide You can buy cleaning gloves on Amazon - like a wet wipe in glove form. I use them on my cats when they have unidentified stink on them. A lot less stressful than trying to wash them although one of them will let me use a warm damp cloth. Best of luck and thanks for caring!

[Spin @Monkey__hanger]

@autcareandshare That is brilliant - genuinely thinking about proper engagement with the individual and not a carer.

After a violation of their bodies, survivors of rape and incest are being told they cannot make decisions about what happens to them next—all because of Trump Abortion Bans.

This is immoral. Women and girls like Hadley deserve better.

Brilliant ad. If you have a daughter and you are voting for Trump you are insane.

Also I hope you will one day have to explain to her why you voted for a man who was found to have sexually assaulted a woman.

@been_here_bee4 @MissSassbox Exactly.

@PetsatHome is there a problem with your website? I’ve been trying to place an order all afternoon and it keeps losing the contents of my basket. It’s a large order and I’ve tried multiple devices.

@TetchyBitch @fifilawrie I took spare clothes, arse wipes, more Vaseline for my poor ring of fire and sat on a carrier bag for the 30 min drive to hospital for my first one. Had to abandon the procedure due to looping and go back later for a CT version so had to go through prep again 💩🔥🧯😢
