Curious about how technology transforms interaction and learning...and big shiny saxophones.

I had deactivated but then realised that was a bit hasty as I had built such a nice network here. You can now find me at 🦋 samduffysax.

@British_Airways So another 2 weeks goes by, claim for cancelled flight still just ‘received’. It’s standard compensation for a flight you cancelled. Do yourself (and me) a favour and just process it @British_Airways so we can all forget about it. Please 🙁

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

You need to do more than hope, you need to process my claim @British_Airways. A flight was cancelled. I lost 24 hours of my holiday and incurred significant disruption. It's a standard scheme. It shouldn't take over a month to compensate passengers.

[British Airways @British_Airways]

@samduffysinger Hi Sam. We're sorry you're still waiting for a response. We hope this gets resolved soon. Oliver

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

@British_Airways I already have that link, you can only check claim status and see it isn’t even being looked at yet. If you have a huge volume of claims you need to resource the department dealing with them properly. I won’t be booking a flight with you any time soon. It just isn’t good enough.

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

Bad enough to lose a day of my much anticipated pre-Christmas trip to Singapore due to cancelled flight @British_Airways, or waste 24 hours travelling from Heathrow and back again. Been waiting for over a month for my case for basic compensation to even be reviewed. Rubbish.

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

Cancelled flight was bad enough. Fill in compensation form, get no email with vital claim number. Now no way to check status of claim. No way to retrieve claim number. Customer Service don’t answer the phone. You used to be my first choice @British_Airways 😥

@limebike @IslingtonBC I am not going to report every dumped @limebike I see. I would literally have no time to do anything else. That was not the purpose of the post. I’m highlighting a problem. Get a proper solution or hire more people instead of crowd sourcing a free clean up crew.

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

I suppose at least it’s parked neatly, but is a tight corner, on double yellows, at the intersection of narrow one way streets really the best parking spot this person could find? A better solution is needed. @limebike @IslingtonBC #docksforbikerentals

So lovely seeing all the small children with their parents, converging on @morleycollege from all directions with their musical instruments this Saturday morning 🙂

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

There’s less and less here for me. I check in less and less often. When I do, I start by blocking the new unpleasant fake accounts that are following me. More functionality fuck ups each time I visit. It’s not an experience I want anymore. I miss 🐦, I’m off to🧵#blocking

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

@annalapwood Me too 😂

My recent trip @OrfordNessNT for the happening ‘Ness Speaks’ @Hayden_Thorpe was truly magical. For anyone wondering why this place is so unique, watch the film and read this blog. Ness @RobGMacfarlane and @StanleyDonwood https://t.co/2SajpHryem

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

Beautiful ❤️

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

Just been to the first performance. To paraphrase @RobGMacfarlane ‘a medieval mystery play about Ness, on the Ness, with Ness as a collaborator’. And what a magical thing it was 🤩

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

The benefits of being (temporarily) unemployed. Lovely afternoon getting the beast repaired then trying new mouthpieces in the ‘bassoon room’. Played the sax solis from Cruisin’ and Count Bubba lots…😳 Thanks to the lovely people at Howarth of London 🎷for your patience!

[Dr Sam Duffy @samduffysinger]

Beautiful low red moon last night, almost looked like the sun.

Times Obit for bass player Herbie Flowers. His advice for aspiring young musicians. “Learn to read music and listen to a bit of Miles Davis…Don’t do drugs and don’t play too many notes. That’s about it.” Cool
