freeola the "High-Quality, Low-Cost, UK Internet Service Provider" doesn't know what redundancy or DR is. Another major outage. No email service, website hosting. 24 hours and ongoing. No update for 3 hours. They claim "secure, resilient data-centres" but obviously only have one.

Bought through @bandq website but items came from a separate company and were wrong. @bandq customer support not interested. Told to use contact form on @bandq site. No confirmation email after submitting. @bandq happily took my money so they should sort it. #poorcustomerservice

In case you were wondering @NuffieldHealth, I gave up after sitting unanswered in your phone queue for an hour. Not good enough.

Sat in a phone queue for @NuffieldHealth North Staffs again. Gave up after 20 mins last time. Now been on for 40 mins with no answer. Sent an online message 2 days ago. No reply other than confirmation it had been received. Not impressed. #badservice

Today, I've spent over 4 hours (and counting) on the phone to the @HMRCgovuk , the vast majority of that in queues. How do they expect people to sort out their tax affairs with a service like this? #wasteoftime

This one fought me a bit but she’s finally up and running. A 50w JCM 800 (2204) clone from Modulus Amplification. A true rock machine! #guitar #guitaramps #amp #amplifier instagram.com/p/CL-HfApsk7R/…

Following my tweet yesterday @virginmedia gave me a text number to try. I negotiated an AI bot's security questions to be told I was in a queue to talk to a human but that it might take 4 hours. That was over 5 hours ago and - as expected - nothing. Absolutely the worst service.

A few days work and I’ve finished the box for the new Plexi amp build. There are a few minor imperfections but overall I’m chuffed! #guitar #guitaramp #guitaramps #amplifier @ Stafford instagram.com/p/CBI9_ECHzO8/…

It lives! The 50W JMP Plexi amp clone is fully operational and is proving to be a monster. To be honest, it’s been working for a couple of weeks but I’ve been experimenting. I guess I’ll have to get some… instagram.com/p/B_nCxYynHth/…

The product of an evening soldering. The guts of the Plexi amp done. #amp #guitaramp #guitaramplifier #plexi #electronics @ Stafford instagram.com/p/B-kzvkinvV4/…

I feel very old when something made in the 90s is considered “new old stock”. Anyway, two Svetlana EL34 tubes for the Plexi amp I’m building have arrived! #guitar #guitaramp #amplifier #amp @ Stafford instagram.com/p/B-T9JgdnmEd/…

Well, the 50w JMP Plexi amp build is under way. Most of the power section, the choke and the output transformer are wired in. Tube sockets next I think. #guitaramp #amp #amplifier #electronics @ Stafford instagram.com/p/B-QM--LHsjc/…

It’s been a while since I’ve trained in the dungeon but needs must! #homeworkout instagram.com/p/B-CRmPNHNQe/…

Decisions, decisions... Fulltone Deja’ Vibe or a 1982 Ibanez CS9 chorus? I’m feeling the Vibe although the CS9 tweaks my sense of nostalgia. #guitar #guitareffects #effects #effectpedals @ Stafford instagram.com/p/B7n2RX0HE35/…

Not exactly what I’d call a pre Christmas rush in the gym this morning. #gym #puregymstafford #workout #solo @ Stafford instagram.com/p/B6F-FT5n5Bc/…

Dear @squarespace, I thought I’d let you know that I’m so sick of being spammed by your adverts on YouTube - dozens of them every day - that I will never use your service. Goodbye.

I’ve lived with it for a few days and I think the Hagstrom Super Viking with it’s upgraded electronics and Bare Knuckle Mule pickups is freakin’ awesome. #guitar #hagstrom #hagstromguitars… instagram.com/p/BwUxHwPHCKj/…

The Hagstrom Super Viking now loaded with a pair of Bare Knuckle Mule pickups (unpotted) and fully upgraded wiring including Luxe Bumblebee capacitors. I also customised the pickup rings… instagram.com/p/BwNoM91Hn6D/…

I’ve started so I better finish! Rewriting the Hagstrom Super Viking. It’s going to be... interesting. #guitar @ Stafford instagram.com/p/BwND4MIH4iw/…

Bare Knuckle Mule pickups and Luxe Bumblebee capacitors. I’ve got the pots, switch and cloth covered wire too so I’m ready to gut and rewrite the Hagstrom Super Viking. Let’s do this… instagram.com/p/Bu_5EFcHXbE/…
