I really want to leave this platform but it’s the only place that I can call out the continued incompetence of @EastMidRailway who are still incapable of displaying seat reservations leading to problems for the poor saps who have no choice but to be their passengers.

This account now only exists to complain to @EastMidRailway about their continuing awful service. No reservations yet again, and wifi still not working.

Oh and it gets worse. Then the @EastMidRailway train is cancelled due to a fault and everyone gets chucked off at Derby. And told to go to the wrong platform. And then the next train is delayed. Abolish EMR now!

New week, different SPAM where they don't get my name right. I'm not known for my ark building...

Yes it’s another stroll around Bedfordshire. Mostly the overgrown bits! CROW officers round here need to up their game! Sunshine and cloud again today but very pleasant. 4.8 miles but felt like more due to lots of cutting and flailing of overgrown brambles!

When you read about a superhero’s origin story, you can understand their motivations. When you travel around the land where @TheGreenNiggle was born, you understand why they were born to niggle. A nightmare of overgrown paths today. Yes, that’s a public footpath through there.

Whilst it appears that @TheGreenNiggle has deserted us in our hour of need, the secateurs of eternal justice are travelling their local routes and removing eye level brambles…

It's nice to be appreciated, even if it's just from a mass corporate e-mail. Remember, when you delete a file, we have a log of you doing it. The magical "system" didn't press that button, you did.
Happy SysAdmin Day! It's the last Friday of July, and we're here to celebrate YOU. Today, we honor the human touch you bring to every interaction. Thanks for keeping our systems running smoothly, even when end-users throw us curveballs (or delete important files).

It's obviously a day for badly targeted SPAM. Someone else has that job title...
Hello Richard, I see you are responsible for the Enterprise Architecture at Loughborough University. I can imagine that’s quite a task given the numerous projects and constant changes in today’s dynamic IT and business environment, particularly in the education sector!
