@QuincyFarmer678 @twickerati Presumably he’s looking at his phone to try and make a trunk call…

TM: Please take care, the platform will be busy when we arrive into Manchester Piccadilly due to passengers waiting to board this train. Poor them.

(A/C out in most carriages, temperature “somewhat warm.”)

Tried @Seatfrog for the first time to upgrade from Standard to Standard Premium.

Hottest day of the year.

Air con in the one Standard Premium carriage isn’t working.

Good to know my travel fortune hasn’t changed.

“We are all boarded and the crew is ready to depart, we are just waiting for the luggage which is still in the airport and we have no estimate when it will arrive to the plane.” The glamour of travel… #MUC

Hey @nationalrailenq, if I go to your 'live departures' page and look for trains that go from Manchester Piccadilly to (e.g.) Reddish North, why is it not obvious from the results that the Sheffield trains are *not* stopping there due to #Romiley?

Hey @currys, I'm not sure you've quite got the "SIM Free" concept.

@UKLabour @GwynneMP This is not what I want to see from politicians that want to run a country.

[Rob Evans @rhe]

@UKLabour @GwynneMP I’m a left-of-centre voter, but this stuff is puerile.

When you pay for “rush shipping” to get something today, then at 21:15 @AmazonUK decide “today” is in six weeks’ time…

If I never have to queue at Paphos Airport again it will still be too soon.

Moving to Manchester, I’m certainly taking a lot more ‘budget’ airlines than when I lived in Twickenham and @British_Airways from LHR was the easy option. @jet2tweets to PFO today.

@JSS779 @AmericanAir @WTXJET If you’re lucky they’ll disembark from the back and you can save valuable seconds over sitting in row 1.

How hot do floodlights get? Hot enough to melt the seals on airplane windows from 6+ metres away... https://t.co/JkHiUkWRAe

Wonder what my closest alt net is going to be?

[Rob Evans @rhe]

Hmm, National Car Parks sending an email about Manchester Oktoberfest. Think they’re missing a “don’t drink and drive” message in there somewhere…

[Rob Evans @rhe]

EI3326 and EI3226 boarding from neighbouring gates. Absolutely no potential for confusion whatsoever.

[Rob Evans @rhe]

(Yes this is me.)

Techies using Macs before Cyber Essentials: Why can’t I get this optional feature point release two minutes after it has been released?!?!?!

Techies using Macs after Cyber Essentials: Why do I need to install this essential security update within two weeks of it being published?

Getting on for two days I've now been waiting for @HostekSupport to fix the SSL cert for their IMAP server https://t.co/TytxNcebCJ...

Roll on the day when automated certificate management is ubiquitous and I don't have to deal with providers failing to roll certs over before expiry.
