@SimonJonesNews This was on my Bluesky feed (posted by https://t.co/qetJ3qCZaf ) but I can't see Ray Campbell on xitter when I tried to verify it. Is the quote accurate?

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@BBCSport Spot the difference. "BBC awards extra point to Championship teams"

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@BBCSport #f1 #QatarGP It's not 26 seconds, it's 26-16 seconds.

@henrywinter Really need to get off this hell site. I can see you on blue place but you're not posting there. Fancy coming over, it's much nicer.

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@JonesSticky @RyderCupEurope Well that aged well. 😂

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@ThamesValleyBus Anny reason 128 service doesn't show up on Google maps directions. Plotting route Wargrave to Wokingham (for midweek) & it insists on via Cemetery Junc. Twyford bus stops on route show "no service".

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@CarouselBus Please give the driver if 850 service (80222 LF10 OXF) my complements & ask why he raced the traffic lights drove through Wargrave 4 minutes early. He'd been early all route; by 5 mins at Marsh Lock. I've missed my dentist appt.

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@CarouselBus 80829 SP61 CUW Why is this bus 4 mins early through Wargrave & Twyford??

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@CarouselBus Quick shoutout to the bus driver (& passenger?) who handed in my wallet, left on 850, at High Wycombe Bus Station, and to the Oxford HQ who traced it for me so quickly. Many thanks.

@NOW @SkySportsF1 @F1 Qualifying finished at 16:00. It's now 23:30 and you have nothing available to watch. No replay, no highlights. Why am I paying you £40 a month for a Nowtv sports subscription?

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@GWRHelp Why is there nowhere to sit down on platforms at Paddington? I'm waiting here (on bridge from Circle line Stn)

and you could easily have some seating with sight of the departure boards.

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@GWRHelp FYI
I'm on 11:48 Twyford to Pad arr 12:20. Button on nternal doors from coach 7 into 8 open doors on 7 but not on 8. Could be potential safety hazard as can't evacuate. Also none of the power sockets are working & aircon in 7 is off or v. poor.

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@rugbyvolunteers Yeah, how's the fit? Not sure why the thickest fleece in Christendom is appropriate for Aug bank holiday? 🤔

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@sascampaigns Maybe me but getting weird actions on your website (on Android phone). Can't press the hamburger menu bars, it just scrolls up the page.

Let’s put this ‘THEY missed the deadline’ nonsense to bed.

Let’s say Me, Josh, David and everyone other than Eagle football had placed our shares in a ‘blind trust’ before March 1st. Three random people would have had control of the club since then but by UEFA’s interpretation of the rules we would still be out of the Europa League.

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@DevsFan82 @NoContextBrits Show me the meme that got anyone arrested
nb. it didn't happen

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@HomeOfCricket Why can't I see most of the faqs? The first group seem ok but after that, if I press the "+", it changes to a "-" but no text appears. Trying this on app & website on Android phone

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@London_W4 If you need/want a bigger car or more adaptations, you pay an upfront fee from your own resources. It makes no difference to the taxpayer either way, we're only contributing the PIP mobility support.
Is there some law that says disabled people aren't allowed nice things?

[Simon Calverley @SimonRCalverley]

@London_W4 At the risk of repeating what's already been said, I'll get my explaining crayons out.
Motability is a leasing company. When you lease a car from them, they take all your PIP mobility component as payment. For a small car with no adaptations, that might be it, if you're lucky.
