@TimHarford I'm not sure of the scale of the intersection between More or Less listeners and Hitchhiker's Guide readers, so just wanted to let you know that your 'know where your towel is' reference was noted ... and appreciated.

@PROPERCORN In the first instance, out of courtesy, I contacted you privately (by email) to inform you of damaged packaging / spoiled product, but you didn't respond. So I am now doing so publicly. Contact me if you would like more details.

@glediator Well done. Now I can uninstall Twitter.

@glediator 😮

@MizunoRunningEU I've been running in Wave Inspire for years. The 18s are the first to go through the toes (6 months / 400km running). Before I buy a new pair, can you confirm a defect in the design of the 18s that was identified and has been rectified in later versions?

@RealFakerDoors @BobCremerius @LynAldenContact @harari_yuval Bitcoin is a crime against the environment and completely unworkable as a mainstream currency.

An off tin of @AldiUK Mixed Beans just ruined a batch of chilli for 6 waiting guests 😔 Gutted. Had to dash for an emergency/expensive takeaway.

@glediator What DOES happen? (and what's a DVD?)

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

Ukraine takes quick breather while Russia launches counter-offensive against Russia.

@hopper_coffee Nice one, look forward to seeing pictures.

@DirectLine Straightforward storm damage claim. Gave me the round around for nine months. Closed my claim without telling me. Told me I'd agreed a settlement (I hadn't). Told me they'd made a BACS transfer (they hadn't). Won't answer phone - 45 minutes and counting... Avoid!

@sainsburys Some people might say it was @sainsburys that didn't meet the criteria of the deal. Anyway, I see you are not willing to accept the premise of my point (only trying to help). I shall spread the word about the strategy of charging people for not buying something.

[Paul J. Newell @pajone]

Polite notice to @sainsburys and @CostaCoffee. There were no sandwiches yesterday (fair enough) but it was not possible to honour the Meal Deal price (#ComputerSaysNo), so I paid £3.70 for drink+snack whereas drink+main+snack would cost £3.50. Very much a case of less is more.

[Paul J. Newell @pajone]

@sainsburys Completely understand the lack of sandwiches on 2nd Jan. But it makes no sense to charge me 20p for the absence of a sandwich! In fact, in this case, it seems I should be able to get drink+snack+snack for Meal Deal price.

@jackrandallwp @timspector Yes, @jackrandallwp, definitely no difference in population immunity levels from the beginning of a pandemic of a novel virus and 2+ years later 🤔

[Paul J. Newell @pajone]

@dl4bnews Simple storm damage claim. 10 months of deliberate delay tactics with no details as to the progress of my claim, with the final insult of closing the claim without informing me. Awful. Avoid @DirectLine.

[Paul J. Newell @pajone]

@hopper_coffee This is indeed a sad day. I have the fondest memories of my visits to Hopper Coffee. It was the highlight of my daily routine when I worked nearby, and genuinely the thing I've missed most since moving away. Best of luck with your new venture. I'll buy you a coffee next time...

[Paul J. Newell @pajone]

@TimesRadio After two weeks it's probably time to tell your Jungle Reporter that it's Mike Tindall, not Tinstall.

[Paul J. Newell @pajone]

@hopper_coffee @mgr1973 About as good as my Twitter responsiveness.

[Paul J. Newell @pajone]

@hopper_coffee @mgr1973 Oh this is a sad day. I wonder how many coffees I've had from that machine.
