@geophf Good to know you are alive 🐧🏴‍☠️

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

Well … if I can’t use @tweetbot from @tapbots to access @Twitter, then I’m not using @Twitter. Bye-bye. Twitter’s own app is just an awful user experience. Thanks a bunch @elonmusk. Very poor decision.

@duolingo Hi. I learn French using both my iPhone and my iPad. Recently it changed to “Intermediate French” on my phone, but hasn’t changed on my iPad. I wish you could keep the two in sync! This is me … Steve9999. (Including the period/full stop. Avatar is a puffin.

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@PLACEBOWORLD So sorry we will miss you in Cambridge. Get well soon … and we’ll be hanging on to those tickets for when you are well 💚

@AskWithings Hi. The app connected to my Scanwatch has recently been telling me I’ve been cycling every few days. I don’t own a bike and haven’t cycled in years. Bit odd?

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@duolingo Yep. That sorted it. Looks the same on both devices now, with the new path. Thank you so much.

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@duolingo hi. Why do I have the new learning path on my iPhone, but not on my iPad? Learning French. Same account. Thanks.

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@duolingo This is me

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@duolingo Hi. Still looks like the “old” version on my iPad. Tried deleting and reinstalling and still the same. Thanks anyway.

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@duolingo Yes. It’s Steve9999. Thanks

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@AskWithings Hi. Yep. That seems to have fixed it. Thanks

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@AskWithings hi. Noticed today my scan watch is not being recognised by the app. All updates installed I just see this on my Device screen. Watch is working fine. Can record ECG on watch but doesn’t transmit to app. Bluetooth is connected

@andrewmaison How dare you share such detailed imagery of my house! 😂. Seriously, nice work 👏

Hi. Saw your column about small talk today. Please use you influence to spread awareness of Dupytren’s Contracture. I’ve had ops on both hands. It’s very common, but little talked or written about. Thanks ☝🏻

@ab4scambs Today, it is illegal for water companies to discharge sewage into rivers except in exceptional circumstances. Please keep the practice illegal by voting for the HoL amendment TODAY. If you believe in protecting chalk streams, please vote for the Hol amendment TODAY.

@mangoher @mozartspig @wellboy Someone I know (me), a 63-year-old man, had an unexplained pulmonary embolism, in April 2020, at the start of the pandemic, before the vaccines were invented. I tested negative for Covid every time. The doctors saved my life. These things happen! (I have since had 2 Pfizer’s).

@StuartMaconie Thanks for reading part of my email out tonight on The Freak Zone . Please do look into Tool, and the song 10,000 days. Cheers.

@bt_uk I have just sent a DM. Can you see it.

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@bt_uk All the items in the sent folder of my @btinternet.com account have literally all disapeared apart from the most recent four that I have sent since Wednesday 18 May. This is the same whether accessing on an imap client on iPhone or via the BT website via a browser. Help!

[Steve Swain @StevenSwain]

@bt_uk Totally unbelievable! Ombudsman?
