BMG polling just out has shown what percentage of the public would consider voting for a Restore Britain candidate at the next general election.
An astonishing 29.6% for Restore Britain.
The figure for Reform? 29.5%. Labour on 32.5%.
Restore Britain can win the next election.
Hi @gandibar, is there anyone there? This is really important to me. You've turned off one of my main domains without telling me why. Is it too much to expect an explanation?
@gandibar Is this a good way to contact support? I've just raised ticket #261184. You've set my domain to "server hold" and I'm really hoping that's an accident.
Patiently waiting for @IJustinJohnson1 to announce @BFI events for "The Savages" and the Season 7 Collection #doctorwho

It's been a largely unproductive day. But I've finally got round to updating the Norsefire site.

Ok, who wants to learn some GitHub stuff?
I'm getting back into running public training courses. They'll be online-only to start. The first three are arranged. We start in two weeks time.
See learn.davecross.co.uk/ for details.
If you want an object lesson in the shitshow Twitter has become since Musk allowed people to pay for blue ticks and boosted replies - look at the astroturfing in the replies here. Someone was happy to spend money to bury possibly problematic replies.

I know some clever mobile devs, right?
What's the best way to do cross-platform mobile development? Can I write a PWA and put that in the Apple/Google app stores? Is there a better approach?
I closed my @AmericanExpress account recently. As I had just paid my annual fee, they are going to send me a refund. In a cheque.
From the 1990s, presumably! :-)
Londoners: If an online address form has mandatory fields for both town and county - what do you use? I think the most sensible options are:
* [Borough] / London
* London / Greater London
But neither of them are right. Which annoys me.
Expecting delivery of a new @DellUK laptop today. But the delivery has just been cancelled as Dell gave DHL an invalid address (basically "House Number, London, Postcode"). @DellCares, how can I get this fixed?
Here's a link to my newsletter that went out to subscribers yesterday.

I didn't watch the Olympics opening ceremony on Friday. But all this talk of it being blasphemous and demonic has me reaching for iPlayer.
p.s. Blasphemy - the only truly victimless crime.
I've put what I think is a rather rare Neil Gaiman t-shirt up for sale on Ebay.

The feeds I use on Planet Westminster are at least a parliament out of date. And we've just had over 300 new MPs turn up. I wonder if it's worth updating it. Do many MPs even publish RSS feeds these days?

Three and a half hours later.
I have a deal that I'm happy with. But it shouldn't require three and a half hours of negotiation (including booking a cancellation) for that to happen.
@virginmedia need to be better.
Calendar reminder that it's time for my annual @virginmedia contract renegotiations. It's so depressing having to go through this song and dance with them each year in order to not pay ludicrous amounts for their service.
