isn't it weird how we say you "take the bus" when really the bus takes you

.@francispedraza (Founder, Invisible Technologies) thinks about competition like the Battle of Thermopylae.

“Accenture may have a million people worldwide. But when the passage is narrow, headcount doesn’t matter. What matters is who holds the line. If our 300 Spartans are at the gate with superior tech, we win every time.”

.@Beer52HQ my father died from cancer a few months ago. I don't know how clear I can make it that I do not want your marketing any more. This is horrifically spammy.

.@ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I tried to use my Three app and it told me I needed to re-register as you'd updated your systems. Why, then, do I get this? What an appalling customer experience.

So if I buy an extra seat to keep empty, that'll be next to me, but not if I buy one for my partner @Ryanair? Elbow room is worth more than a person? 😂

@SlackHQ Is it possible to search in only channels I have joined? I want to search across my entire team for a message I remember, but there's too much noise, and it would only have been in a channel I am still in.

[Simon Says... @simonRedwards]

If you're on that new alternative, please follow me!

@NeilCocker Sounds very wholesome! 🤪

[Simon Says... @simonRedwards]

@NeilCocker How much are you looking to feed (e.g. snacks then a main, maybe a starter)? And should it include drinks? I did a dinner last week & think I spent just over a fiver/head: excluding drinks, I did a caprese salad then fake-meat fajitas (quorn mince & some kind of fake chicken).

[Simon Says... @simonRedwards]

@searchbound @jamesholephoto much nicer! 🤩

First time I'd genuinely benefit from an airport lounge as flight out of Madeira is delayed, and the only @AmexUK lounge is closed 😑

@RevolutApp I'm on Android.

[Simon Says... @simonRedwards]

@RevolutApp why is my app saying it's out of date, when it's fully updated on the Play store? Updated 25th May?

[Simon Says... @simonRedwards]

@RevolutApp What do you need me to DM? I can tell you the app version publicly. It's 9.8.2, the latest available on the Play Store.

.@ThreeUK my 5G home internet is failing to load most sites (including @SlackHQ and @figma), but my 5G phone is working fine. Is there an issue with the former?

[Simon Says... @simonRedwards]

@sainsburys Again; absolutely NO fault of the staff - they were helpful and apologetic despite being clearly stressed. Store was Canada Water in London.

[Simon Says... @simonRedwards]

@sainsburys I really don't think a single staff member to cover ~10 self-service and all the served tills at once is adequate, do you? Just waited nearly 10 minutes to purchase caffeine through absolutely no fault of your overworked staff; you need to pay more of them!

"Tips" when you start using a product should be limited to three. I promise you, when you take a user through 7 different "cool things" your app can do, they will remember almost none of them.
