Belfast Peeps: Anyone got a ticket to the Longley/Muldoon/MacNiece thing @ Linen Hall tomoz? It's SO relevant to my thesis. Plus, I don't think I've been in Ireland at the same time as Muldoon and NOT seen him perform/read. DM me! @muldoonpoetry @HeaneyCentre

Devasted to hear about my first love, @AndyTaylorLives' sitting out the HoF induction. You deserve the induction. Only the other night, I forced people to watch this artistry. Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid. "Goethe said that". 🤩 youtube.com/watch?v=3rUylCIX…

1/12 Cold soggy fries (worthless), vaguely warm burger, minus dip for Nuggets, ice melted into flat coke. What was the point of this? JUST TELL PEOPLE YOU DON'T HAVE THE DRIVERS. I'm supposed to sit watching these apps in case orders get cancelled? Now reimburse my working hours.
1/11 Is this some plot to prevent us from ordering from local restaurants and driving the starving into the hands of fast food joints we would never otherwise patronize? Stay tuned. Late-stage capitalism, folks. Tip your drivers. If these are their managers they fucking need it.
1/10 Is THIS how we do business now? Capitalism has degenerated to the point where PAYING for a PRODUCT is not enough. You must make a big stink on social media. Who believes this is a coincidence that my food's started arriving since I got on Twitter?
1/9 Will THIS ONE TAKE?!??!
1/8 ANNNND in further CLOWN CAR SHOW ACTION, @JustEatUK driver just arrived, yet THIS is still my status, HENCE why I ordered from @UberEats from McDonalds. Did you all hire Trump's ex-cabinet members to run your businesses?
1
1/7 At what point do @Deliveroo, @UberEats, and @JustEatUK ADMIT that they do NOT have the drivers and so users can find food elsewhere? What is the point of pretending you have drivers on the way or waiting at the restaurant or you're finding another one after HOURS?
1
this after I texted the original driver to ask if he was actually on his way, since he'd been sitting in one place so long.
1/5 @JustEatUK, this photo speaks for itself. No one to talk to about me perhaps making another order from some rank kebab shop for some food. What's with the pretense of "finding a driver"?
1/4 This guy has been sitting there since 1:30 when I made the order. @UberEats. Can't get in touch with Help to find out if he exists or this is another ruse to starve people who have no food in their houses.
1/3 NOW I am waiting for AN HOUR for some dude to pick up my McDonald's order -- AND been waiting since midnight for @JustEatUK to "find a driver" for my Taco Bell order. What the FUQ are you people doing? Literally just eaten DRY Ryvita and I began ordering food at 10:30pm.
1/2 Wanna know how I know? I ordered the same meal from @Deliveroo at 10:30pm and after THE SAME runaround about drivers waiting, and drivers on their way, the order was cancelled at MIDNIGHT. At least they gave me £15 credit.
1/1 So. @UberEats, have been waiting now for an hour for a McDonald's order after waiting an hour for an Italian order from Pasta Glory in Thornwood that was cancelled, after LOTS of messages about drivers being found and food on its way. The restaurant had closed at 11pm.
Just been sent home by @AerLingus after arriving with 7 mins still to check in and no one at the desk. Had been trying to check online for 2 hrs. Had to buy another ticket home. So your check-in closing time means nothing -- tho you KNOW your online system's broke? #DEMANDREFUND
