best thing about being on chat to @virginmedia for over an hour, is when the chatter closes the conversation even when you say you're not done because you haven't responded in *checks notes* 1 minute, when they take literally 10 minutes to respond to each reply

I lied, the best part was clearly being told that it wasn't the router that was the issue, but that we didnt have fast enough broadband, just need to squeeze some extra ££ out of us and it will magically start working again 🙄

Irony is your @virginmedia router being so buggered that you can't log into @Speedtest to prove how bad your virgin media speed is

Hello @RoyalMailHelp it seems having an account with you means I now get emails for any delivery to my address whether it’s for me or not? Surely you should only be tying notifications to the buyer/recipient’s email ? Good job it’s not the season of buying surprise gifts…

Sadly you couldn’t make this up: Man aggressively interrupts women filming a report about creating safe spaces for women. A mother and daughter sharing their story on feeling unsafe had to stop as he became verbally aggressive, perfectly proving why such spaces are needed.

Left: Kemi Badenoch says British citizenship should be "a privilege to be earned" and not an "automatic right" Right: A Nigerian TV channel points out that Kemi Badenoch's mum flew to London to give birth to Kemi, then flew back to Nigeria, where Kemi was raised till the age of 16 How did Kemi Badenoch "earn" her British citizenship when her mum flew over just to give birth, or is that the "automatic right" she wants discontinued for others but is happy to have had for herself?

Rearranged my delivery with evri to a parcel shop as I’m away and they just leave the parcel on the doorstep without checking you’re in. Now I have to collect it from the parcel shop before I get back from holiday 🤷‍♀️ what do I do now @FairyLoot (can’t speak to human at evri)

Replying to @Waterstones
@Waterstones hi you've just sent an email regarding the Moomin's 80th anniversary edition saying that £7.50 from each copy goes to the British Red Cross, reiterated on your website, but when you look at the photos of the book, the cover on image 2 says £2? waterstones.com/book/the-moo…

Hi @TicketmasterCS have had 2 emails telling me I need to use the academy app to access my tickets for a gig tomorrow evening, which I have done & logged in with my TM account as instructed and my tickets aren’t there - what are the next steps?

Also get this when I try to access my tickets from a browser. Not sure why my home WiFi or ID mobile are considered unusual 🤷‍♀️
