@Chenmaner Confucius. I use this in my speeches a lot. And I definitely know nothing.

Did @JetBlue go out of business? Flight from LA was delayed 5hrs then cxld at 3.00am . Zero staff to deal with passengers. Clearly they either don’t care or went bust? I know all US airlines hate passengers but this is extreme

It’s perfectly on brand. They prefer you to fly with someone else. That’s why they do all they can corporately to ensure your misery. Less passengers means less hassle, less work etc.

Trapped on a United flight (Newark to Vancouver) at the gate then the tarmac for 6 and 1/2 hours.
Why are US airlines so shitty?

I’m far from home and #Fubar is cheering me up no end. Watching Arnold fight bad guys, try to be a good dad, and reflect on current pop culture is marvelous. Thanks @Schwarzenegger and the team - I hope you’ll be back…

[Simon Collins @SimonCollins08]

Rather boring scam from @tripcomgroup - bait and switch to sell you a flight you don’t want, then charge a fee to cancel. Maybe they’re in trouble and need the cash? Best to try another site for flights.

@andjelicaaa They could both use ‘Fly someone else’

@TheNewsAgents @IndigoRumbelow @GlobalPlayer Not at his best, @jonsopel blustery and annoyed when he can’t bully @IndigoRumbelow with his personal opinion. (Excellent show from her). And @lewis_goodall kept JS from blowing up.

Must have been a very slow news day….

[Shenzhen Daily @szdaily1]

@SimonCollins08 Today's front page!

@RealSexyCyborg It’s lovely. Have been here for 3 days and am looking forward to coming back soon. (Very nice people too)

Yesterday, designers and representatives from intl. design organizations and #CitiesofDesign around the world, gathered in #Shenzhen to witness the opening of the 10-day #ShenzhenDesignWeek. @JohnathonV @SimonCollins08 @YaniDoesStuff

[Simon Collins @SimonCollins08]

Shenzhen really is committed to new Design. It’s proper inspiring when this happens…

[Shenzhen Daily @szdaily1]

"The thing that impresses me about #Shenzhen is the speed of innovation", said Simon Collins, Former Dean of the School of Fashion at Parsons School of Design, during an interview with Shenzhen TV at the 2023 Shenzhen Design Week. @SimonCollins08

@AndyBxxx Bugger. I was hoping to get one but if this random troll guy thinks it’s a bad idea. Dunno.

[Simon Collins @SimonCollins08]

@TheNewsAgents @Guto_Harri @George_Osborne @GlobalPlayer Why let an artless propagandist like @Guto_Harri have a platform without challenging him sufficiently? You said you are old pals, is that why you gave him such an easy ride?

[Simon Collins @SimonCollins08]

@timhayward My Nan used to say “M’duck” and she was from Coventry. Since both are North of Camden then they must be fairly close to each other? Probably.

I’m an atheist but who doesn’t love Silent Night in Chinese in an ancient church on Christmas Eve in Shanghai. Just like a real John Lewis ad. Merry Christmas.

[Simon Collins @SimonCollins08]

I remember walking up Frith St to work in the morning just before Xmas in 1995 and getting an espresso in @TheBaristas and they slipped a quick grappa in to warm the Xmas spirit. That’s the Xmas spirit I miss being here in Shanghai. Merry Merry

I’m so sad to see this news today. The Specials were an essential part of my childhood and their music and style still influence me today. I always felt I’d run into Terry one day at the shops. I didn’t.
