@omanair I have spent four hours trying to resolve a business class flight booking. I have emailed twice, phoned twice, spent hours on your website - and got nowhere. Please can you DM me a useful email to get this sorted :(

@ScotRail run two of the most beautiful train lines in the world ... People travel from all over the world. Especially this line from Fort William to Mallaig...

And this is what they get to see. It's embarrassing.

@KISI please help us get our door licenses live. We have spent over 24 hours getting nowhere with turnstiles off line and hours of our engineers time wasted - having spent tens of £000s with you. Not happy.

@Sidharth0032 @DanielPriestley On a podcast debate for example?

[Tom Ball @tomball2]

@1Champion2016 @DanielPriestley 20% of £100m = £20m
50% of £100k = £50k

£50k is a lot less than £20m - even if it's a bigger percentage

@DanielPriestley A friend was at a dinner of 12 people recently.

He was the only one not seriously working on a plan to leave the country...

And even he felt tempted by the end.

@soundswitch_dj please please help. I cannot activate iLok despite another wasted hour trying every possible option. It's my 50th and I need it to work :( [email protected] I've emailed support

@LukeJohnsonRCP And the 20% of salaries paid by the government (I fear it may be more) is an internal transaction...

The tax just goes back in the same pot it came from...

100% of contributory taxes come from outside the government. 99% of which is companies

@TLRailUK this appears to be another lie?

Most of my trains are delayed - generally due to lack of driver but often reported (like this) as being a fault on the train

[Tom Ball @tomball2]

@ihatethameslink another lie

They're saying it's a fault on train but reality is there's no driver and they have no idea where they are. I'm guessing they are on a Thameslink train?

@andrewjscott @RachelReevesMP Amazing typo. I think you meant levers - but the real story is indeed leavers!

[Tom Ball @tomball2]

@Nickhalo01 All good! We're trying to do things a bit differently - and it's really hard to keep the right tone! Many a true word said in jest :)

[Tom Ball @tomball2]

@Nickhalo01 Hat tip @andydbarnes

[Tom Ball @tomball2]

@FinanceDirCFO @Nickhalo01 I think it could work...

[Tom Ball @tomball2]

@Nickhalo01 Thank you! We don't have an ad agency, we just make them up ourselves!

We spent all the money on barrels. And great coffee...

@projectkim I think your headline is wrong. Importantly...

You said: He sold a $450 million dollar painting of Jesus to a Saudi prince in 19 minutes.

Isn't it: He sold a painting of Jesus to a Saudi prince for $450 million dollars in 19 minutes.

It didn't have that value until he sold it
