The @DurhamCricket live stream is beyond annoying. 2 ads every 5 mins in the middle of an over? Get out of here!

.@blinds2go had I known that, I’d have gone elsewhere. The person on the phone is not really bothered. I know I’ve paid no money but it seems like even paid orders are taking longer. So may have no bedroom blind for up to a month or more.

.@blinds2go used to be a really great company. Fast service, helpful staff. Now - order samples which don't arrive after 3 days with no dispatch email and an uninterested person tells me its up to 10 days dispatch which was NOT indicated at point of order or confirmation email

Is @RedHandedthepod only available to Wondery + subscribers now? All of the episodes on Apple podcasts now say Wondery+ only. Is this the end for free listening? If so, shame. It won't make me subscribe.

Just looked at my podcasts. One episode that has just appeared in my list in 1h46 long. Why do podcasters not realise that anything above 1 hr is just way too long?!

One of my finest moments earlier was telling a canvasser for the turquoise tinpots where to go. (We have a local council by-election coming up). It felt so good. 😃

Follow up to previous post re CAF - I posted my situation on LinkedIn and one of the directors contacted me directly and ensured it was fixed within 24 hours. Was great to get sorted, although I question that it had to reach that stage.

Well @CAF you've excelled yourself this time. Send out new IDs for new banking system. Set up access yesterday and not been able to log in since. Join ever growing queues. Options to get called back aren't working and now you can't even ring them, they cut you off. Beyond poor.

Dear @DurhamCricket please stop with the ads on YouTube in the middle of play. I’ve missed at least one wicket because of it. Profit over content? I’m not a fan.

A great reel on Instagram from @BBCSport featuring @GHodgsonSport talking about Preston North End 🤍 Seems like George was just waiting for the 20 bus service back into town and got interrupted by a camera crew😅 #pnefc

Lost half a days work thanks to @virginmedia going down. 5 hours later, all it will say is engineer has been dispatched. From where? Lands End?

Anyone know of any (genuine) part-time jobs for students in the #Sheffield area? Daughter just gone to uni there and wants to support herself. Any help @mrdanwalker ? Her absolute dream job for now is working in a bookshop.
