@British_Airways Is anyone there? Telephone support are not helpful. They are claiming we have (a) checked in and (b) selected the upgrade ourselves, neither of which is true. They're also saying the seat hasn't been allocated but for some reason cannot change it back?
@British_Airways Hi. I'm travelling back from DXB to LHR with my colleague overnight. They've just had their seat auto upgraded for no reason/warning and we need to get it back to where it was. There's no way to do this in the app/the website. I can't even change my seat. Help?
When twitter was in its infancy, my buddy @Sheamus had a blog called Twittercism that took some deep dives into all types of stuff.
Now the 'X' rebrand is underway, I'm hoping he'll step up with a new blog, and call it.. X-orcism!!! 😂😂

If you can’t take being publicly dunked on then be sure to avoid taking any risks and stay away from all leadership roles. Don’t build or disrupt anything. Stay small and invisible and most of all, be silent and afraid of what others think.
I was wondering why bitters bottles always have these jacked up old fashioned labels on em.
Turns out the brothers behind this brand were entering their recipe in a contest like a hundred years ago. One brother worked on the bottle and the other the label.
At game time they realized they were different sizes. They slapped the label on and entered it anyway.
They lost the contest but a judge pulled em aside and told em the wonky label made their product stand out. They kept doing it and not only is Angostura one of the biggest brands in the space, their aesthetic dominates the category.

@maryannehobbs Interstate Love Song - such an underrated, absolute banger for a moody Monday morning, largely unknown in the UK despite a massive Stateside hit. RIP Scott Weiland - a talent that is much missed
