@Scotmid depressing little scrap of a flag on your Portobello store. Surely an easy thing to replace? Makes the place look untidy.

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@Edinburgh_CC traffic lights broken at kings road Portobello. Very dangerous

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@AdmiralUK your quote engine isn't working

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@vuecinemas Why can I not book Dune 2 in Edinburgh for Saturday night? It's on every weeknight but barred out for Friday/Saturday/Sunday in both Edinburgh Vue cinemas

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@MyGlasgowCC help, how the fuck do we get out of Glasgow when the M8 is shut and there are no diversion signs. 40minutes into a 45minute journey and still stuck in endless fucking traffic not getting on the M8. What a fucking farce

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@GlasgowCC absolute shit show traffic tonight trying to leave Glasgow. M8 closed, appalling diversion signs, taken us 40mins to get further away from home. What a fucking joke.

@itvcycling why oh why is the catch up so abysmally poor? I love the coverage, Gary, Ned and David etc are class. But I can't even watch yesterday's stage on catch up. How can it take more than 24hrs for the highlights to make it onto catch up?!?

@InvCoffee loving this bag from our recent visit to Inverness, lovely deep crema from the espresso. Shame about my latte art!

@davidflatman Faletau old school scanted Freddie Steward in the first 3 mins. Class

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@BBCJohnBeattie Previous history of serious head knocks. Clearly symptomatic after that hit. Never ever should have been allowed back on. Disgraceful and someone in the Welsh medical staff should be held responsible.

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@craftginclub Still not received the 'advent' calendar I ordered almost 2 weeks ago. No reply to the emails I have sent. Really poor service, how do I get a refund?

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@pactcoffee Upgraded to a proper Grinder to up my coffee game! Hoping I'll taste more of the notes described on the tasting card.

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@itvcycling Are you doing any coverage for la vuelta this year?

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@Edinburgh_CC no traffic lights on the Ferry Road/Great Junction Street junction. Makes an already dangerous junction very dangerous

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@itvcycling Great coverage of a great tour. If only you could get the highlights show onto the itvHub reliably promptly.... Commentators and pundits excellent as always.

[Richard Allan @r_squiggles]

@itvcycling Any chance it'll ever be on ITVHub before tomorrow? Would be nice to catch up but as usual ITV takes so long to upload anything onto the online Hub.

[Leeds Birder @leedsbirder]

In today’s 2nd @UoLperegrine emergency we spotted TJS, one of our recently fledged Peregrine Falcon juveniles, caught under anti-pigeon netting on the Parkinson Tower. With the aid of @UniversityLeeds Security, RSPCA and WY Fire Brigade, a rescue attempt was launched. THREAD 1/10

@British_Airways Trying to add a last minute checked bag to our booking for flight on Thursday. Despite having a BA reference our flight is with @AerLingus, and the booking reference doesn't work on their site. Any advice?
