@CrossCountryUK Heard of buses?

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

@CrossCountryUK get some frigging buses already!

@CrossCountryUK demonstrating yet again the utter lack of ability at running trains on time

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

Cross country trains late again. 18:52 out of BHM dept. at 19:03. No excuse given.

@dr4goonis Loved the talk at @BrumPHP on Thursday on framework agnostic Laravel, I'd love a deeper look into the code if you have a small shareable repo.

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

is it me or is the new Twitter logo very similar to the X Windows logo ?

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

12m late leaving Brum on Cross Country... As usual, no apology, no excuse, not even an "oops". Really, as a fundamental mode of transport, our railways are frankly piss poor.

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

@pitchblacksteed Arguably one of the finest.

@fecklessfox100 My belly is loud and proud ... But in my own garden, ideally under the cover if darkness. Outside of that it doesn't put an appearance in. Itay be all bought and paid for, but there are limits!

Why for the love is god is Boris allowed to work for a ""news"" rag? Incompetent, liar that partied while the nation hunkered down under COVID restrictions, he should be summarily ejected from all forms of politics and ideally shot at dawn.

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.

Can we apply that marriage?

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

@fecklessfox100 Oh my ...

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

@virginmedia Plug it back in?

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

Trains leaving 21 minutes late in this country is friggin disgraceful. Broken connections, no apologies; overly priced. No wonder people would prefer to use the roads.

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

@CrossCountryUK demonstrates yet again that they cannot run on time. So far this year with a daily commute, only 1 train has actually been on time. How can they get with this? It's about time we had a decent choice of which operators run on key lines.

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

@fecklessfox100 We had snow ... it's now gone. The cats however have uncrossed their legs finally!

@simonholdorf COBOL

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

20 mph on an intercity train because of "speed restrictions". wtaf does that mean. God help us all when (if) HS2 ever gets going. Wrong type of snow/wind/rain (delete where applicable)

[Inveteratus @thegrumpyscot]

30 minutes on the phone waiting for a company to answer .. for something that could be sorted in minutes 'cept their website's registration process is fubar - got to love technology.

@how_electronics Yeah gods ... NO
