Make sure you're all getting in those stretching exercises before you work today, whether it's your regular 9-5 job, #100Devs or something else

Things like Repetitive Strain Injury and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are no joke. Look after yourself please! 💜

@fesshole As long as it's stirred properly, squeezed out in good time and then discarded it's actually less likely to become scuzzy and horrible and makes for a much better cup of tea than putting the milk in last. 100% recommend her technique. Sue me 🤷‍♂️

@bmeado9 Rumour has it that in a parallel universe we're still waiting for Greenwood to take the free kick 🥱 Just look how little effort was put in to actually restarting the game. You can call it "waiting for options" but then goes to her CB partner anyway, who was always available...

@sortitoutsi Honorary mention to this monster who I opted against signing as a youngster but bought later on and changed my entire tactical system to adopt him. Money well spent, this guy laid down 48 goals and 46 assists last year with an average of 8.73. Wild. 🔥

@sortitoutsi From 16, to 18, to present day (25) - I can't really ask for much more from a right back 💜 Praise be to my scouts for actually finding somebody with genuine potential for a change.

@fmbIog I signed a couple of 30+ stars for my team and it totally transformed us from title contenders to title winners. It was 100% worth the outlay!

@FootballManager Luís Henriques on FM08. He was a regen that was a natural in the front 7 positions & world class at all of them. Truly one of a kind & he had a legendary career with me 💜

Honourable mentions: Tom Cooper, Emanuele Campolongo, Søren Augustinussen, David Krabec and Yannick Mawéné

@lollujo That's the spirit, Kev, the feeling is mutual ✊

@BBCSport/@BBC are so paranoid about public backlash that they're not accepting text messages through their WhatsApp for the sports live feeds and they've disabled the thumbs up/thumbs down for readers. Feels like Tory government pressure for #censorship

@VodafoneGroup @Vodafone_AL My last cry out to you, praying you actually rediscover the meaning of "customer service"

Can't top up my number on the phone: "problem with the bank" - there are no problems with my banks

Can't top up on the website (see picture)

So... what now? What should I do? Më ndihmoni?

[Shaun S. B. @s_s_booth]

@VodafoneGroup (@Vodafone_AL) - your app has a lovely feature/section where you can "shake to win"

This would be great if it actually worked. (Maybe my phone is broken?) Shaking my phone into oblivion has yielded zero results.

Is there an alternative method to "win" the prizes?

[Shaun S. B. @s_s_booth]

@VodafoneGroup @Vodafone_AL Still nothing folks? No response? No acknowledgement? No way to top up my account? No way to provide you with my business? No customer service representative willing to reach out to support their customers?

I bet you'd accept a "loan" on the account that I can't top up though...

New to Asian Football and want to know how to watch live and for free?

Then here you go! Apologies if I’ve missed any off.

I have more interest in East and South East Asian football and these are the ones I am able to watch in the UK 😄

[Shaun S. B. @s_s_booth]

@gamescom But... why? 🤷‍♂️

[Shaun S. B. @s_s_booth]

@EmmaKennedy Suddenly I feel less excited to return back to the UK...

[Shaun S. B. @s_s_booth]

@KassandraSanch Oh, snap. Guilty, guilty, guilty.

You know what though, I'm not even sorry.

Might want to slightly replace "the idea" and "the project" with "the skillset to make it happen" in my case 😬

@duolingo I just hit my 2 year streak today: 730 days. I was expecting a fun, lively screen from Duolingo to celebrate this achievement and got... pretty much absolutely nothing. Most people are lucky to even hit one year so two is pretty special. Is it really that unimportant to you now?

@buymeacoffee A thirsty customer walks into a coffee shop and asks the barista, “How much for a cup of coffee?”

The barista points to the menu and says, “Five dollars for a cup of coffee and refills are free.”

The customer responds, “Thanks. I’ll have a refill.”

@StokeyyG2 Me, pretty much every Monday night at the 7-a-side league until I retired from semi-amateur football, aged 29.

@cm9798v2 I've been enjoying your posts a lot, so please keep it up. I still play a lot of FM08 and thought I was "old school" but you blow me out of the water playing this game!
