Anyway I'd like to say it was nice to look through this feed again but it has been a lot of adverts for betting and a lot of people being very angry so far. A pity. We used to have some great chats here.

Been a while since I've needed to complain on here but @SW_Help have brought me out of retirement. Four weeks ago, they cancelled the rail replacement bus between Portsmouth and Southampton, so my poor lovely mum drove me, in the dark. Otherwise I wouldn't have got home.

I complained immediately. Today (yes, it took that long) I received an offer of £5 in rail vouchers compensation 'because I had to catch the next bus'. Tell me you didn't even bother to read my complaint without telling me 🙄🙄 absolutely appalling @SW_Help

I really hope nobody from the free speech brigade is calling for this guy to be stripped of his citizenship over some tweets. This would be achingly hypocritical as well as a massive over-reaction.

Tell the Americans we will swap Andrew Windsor for Anne Sacoolas.

Really enjoyed #TTRHums today even though I had to leave early 😭 looking forward to catching up on the afternoon presentations on the recording and digging into this platform for some revision inspiration!

I am very far past my people-pleasing era and this is never as obvious to me as it is when people I work with are outrageously rude to people who work for me. Honestly. Let's dance, you and I. (Not about school)

Getting home from #HAConf25 and I've somehow ended up on the Chester-Cardiff train which is stopping at any number of small border towns. This is a gorgeous journey. I have so far seen countless sheep and their springy offspring, a few llamas and a lot of rolling hills.

I remember taking this train home from Llandudno once, only it was dark and then there was a car crash on the level crossing at Craven Arms and the journey took 7 hours. But we've just passed Craven Arms so I am feeling positive.

So @lufthansa is optimistically expecting to board an entire plane in 31 seconds 🙄 Naturally nobody is telling us anything. Why are airlines still so bad at this? Just tell us what is happening!

Been working on this remix, hoping to collab with Charlie XCX on a future version of #Brat. I think it would fit well on 'Brat but it's so mainstream now that we can't call it Brat we have to say Troubled Child'.
