Looking at what @elonmusk is doing with this platform, I think I’ve had enough. Can be found elsewhere with same username. Might pop back occasionally.
Is that the total including the DB scheme which is in run-off? Because if so surely that’s a very odd metric to use as it is in surplus and the surplus has increased?
I care about the change slightly less than I do about someone writing “a millennia”.
I see the useless leaders of @thameswater are doubling my monthly bill 😡 If ever there was a failure of the market, they really are the perfect example.

I think this is where I know more about contracting for public sector work than you do…

Would that Fujitsu contract have been better if they had a duty of care towards individual postmasters?

So each army barracks should buy toilet rolls separately? And spend more to do so?
Because much the same goes for (eg) consulting and tax advice as it does for bog roll.
There’s a middle ground but it’s hard to find. Which is why we have procurement.

Not to get too deep about something like Tier points, but there is something about @British_Airways now which embodies a hollowed out management consultancy led, computer says no approach to service that pervades business and frustrates so many people and diminishes loyalty.
This should be a cracker from @EdwardWilsonLee

I’ve never heard of Valerie Stivers. Being generous, I’ll assume that you’re posting this completely out of context and she isn’t quite as ignorant as that passage suggests…

And the whole “still being paid off until 2015” thing is nonsense…
Does this indicate that we are in the end times @WalkerMarcus …? 😱
My last concert of the year 🥰
My last review of 2024 tonight: Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber in an evening of Schumann Lieder at @wigmore_hall.
I can't imagine a more civilized way to close my diary for the year. Reviewing for @bachtrack.
At the moment there are no fees for the DPS system because the entities that safeguard the cash also get to keep the interest arising on it (at super low rates because it’s almost zero risk). So might not be much of an opportunity here.

So far it’s been excellent quality! Plus also a way to buy from farms more directly rather than via supermarkets.
Stunning piece of beef via @Farm_Direct 🥰 Plus veg and bread for tomorrow’s leftover sandwiches
