@premierinn Terrible experience at Elgin. 17 degrees and raining outside, 29 degrees in room, but apparently not covered under guarantee as A/C wasn't advertised. I didn't expect A/C, but I also didn't expect the room to be ten degrees hotter than outside even with window open!

@wfcouncil How do we email someone about a planning application? Your website (https://t.co/VEO2jEd6Eu) says "If you have questions about an application... contact the relevant Planning Officer" but only gives a name without any contact details.

Getting asked to do a wedding for a couple with their quiz team name is an absolute highlight of my last 6 years as a Celebrant.

So was the wedding in a pub!

@jamsey55 @anon_opin Tell me you've not really listened to Taylor Swift without telling me...

@TurnipRail @NHSuk Yep. People are (rightly) worried about waiting lists and delays, but don't say when it works well. I was recently worried about a growth on my face. Emailed my GP on Monday, face-to-face appointment on Tuesday, clinical photo on Friday, got (negative) results eight days later.

@mjsimpsonfilms @MordecaiFly @anon_opin Excellent work on cherry-picking one paragraph from that article. Here's paragraphs 3 and 4:

@anon_opin Tell me you haven't noticed the five seconds of silence after the fade-out without telling me you haven't noticed the five seconds of silence.

@AllThingsQuiz Should I not have two points, or was Swift not specific enough in the GK?

@simongerman600 What does the third dimension represent? It's not labelled.

@stop_changing_7 @SamTeeling @PaulWenger71 @JasonReidUK But the guy in the story is a big corporation! If people like him are selling, not buying, then we're back to more houses being sold to non-landlords, house prices fall, fewer people need to rent, remaining landlords will have to offer good rights to find tenants. Economics 101!
