@Tesco £100 parking fine for parking in a 'Shop' parking space outside your Epsom Horton store. Just called and you're refusing to answer why you're doing this. Also saying that you can't process a complaint! So, clearly you've decided you never want me as a customer ever again!

@WasOnceLoved Inequality, poverty and hunger. See, they can be competent when they set their minds to it! Sorry, I just realised you asked for one thing.

Hang on, I just realised, it may be because of my answer to this question....

[Richard Draig @rsdraig]

I just tried out the National Careers Service site and this is what is suggested as my next career! No idea why!

[LinguaSkin @LinguaSkin]

Diolch/Thank you to @walesinireland for hosting today's 'Exporting to Ireland' webinar. We're extremely excited at the prospect of taking our @LinguaSkin software to the Irish market, and enabling applications/websites to be bilingual in Gaeilge (Irish) and English.

@Dawn_Bowden @hancock_i @HMorganThompson I really really struggled who to vote for this time. In the end I swallowed my dislike and leant my vote to labour. Your attitude is very upsetting, I was already full of regret! Now I know never to do that again. Thanks for helping me make my decision next time!

[Richard Draig @rsdraig]

@JacobMilner10 @MarchGlas @AberUni @Prifysgol_Aber Yes :) Am ddim: https://t.co/snUomzklzo

@MaykherFashion Is there a deal if I buy four? Asking for a friend:)

[Richard Draig @rsdraig]

@DebbieCondry Hi. Richard Sheppard here (fedex... 20 years ago). Can you follow me so I can DM you?

[Richard Draig @rsdraig]

@markjhooper Based in Newport, I agree congestion is a problem. But why is the solution to encourage more traffic? Surely an equally valid solution is to reduce the number of cars. Has this been given equal analytical effort or does the fun of writing a £1.4bn cheque overrule objectivity?

[Richard Draig @rsdraig]

With the new term, we’re not only restarting code clubs in Newport but also kicking off a county-wide initiative to have a code club in every school in Newport & co-ordinate efforts. We need volunteers, [email protected] for more info. @codeclubWales @CodeClub

@illtud @LinguaSkin Heh, not me, though it is my era :) Though I did have a program for the Spectrum published in Your Computer (1984-ish). It was always weird seeing my name on ads in those mags around that time!

[Richard Draig @rsdraig]

A super unfit middle-aged slob will be getting very sore and sweaty on 9th June doing the @dallybike (37 mile route) on 9th June. Make it all worthwhile here; https://t.co/xhy7mZXp0D …. Please :)

[Richard Draig @rsdraig]

@cerithepirate But if I can help at all (not sure how), let me know. We can always send the boys round:)

[Richard Draig @rsdraig]

@cerithepirate Not that it helps with the specific issue but it fixes itself over time. Don't work with the dodgy ones ever again but continue to build relationships with decent customers. It doesn't fix the bad ones but over time their relative impact diminishes.
