TM: Please take care, the platform will be busy when we arrive into Manchester Piccadilly due to passengers waiting to board this train. Poor them. (A/C out in most carriages, temperature “somewhat warm.”)

Tried @Seatfrog for the first time to upgrade from Standard to Standard Premium. Hottest day of the year. Air con in the one Standard Premium carriage isn’t working. Good to know my travel fortune hasn’t changed.

“We are all boarded and the crew is ready to depart, we are just waiting for the luggage which is still in the airport and we have no estimate when it will arrive to the plane.” The glamour of travel… #MUC

Hey @nationalrailenq, if I go to your 'live departures' page and look for trains that go from Manchester Piccadilly to (e.g.) Reddish North, why is it not obvious from the results that the Sheffield trains are *not* stopping there due to #Romiley?

When you pay for “rush shipping” to get something today, then at 21:15 @AmazonUK decide “today” is in six weeks’ time…

Moving to Manchester, I’m certainly taking a lot more ‘budget’ airlines than when I lived in Twickenham and @British_Airways from LHR was the easy option. @jet2tweets to PFO today.

How hot do floodlights get? Hot enough to melt the seals on airplane windows from 6+ metres away... assets.publishing.service.go…

Hmm, National Car Parks sending an email about Manchester Oktoberfest. Think they’re missing a “don’t drink and drive” message in there somewhere…

EI3326 and EI3226 boarding from neighbouring gates. Absolutely no potential for confusion whatsoever.

Techies using Macs before Cyber Essentials: Why can’t I get this optional feature point release two minutes after it has been released?!?!?! Techies using Macs after Cyber Essentials: Why do I need to install this essential security update within two weeks of it being published?

Roll on the day when automated certificate management is ubiquitous and I don't have to deal with providers failing to roll certs over before expiry.

Getting on for two days I've now been waiting for @HostekSupport to fix the SSL cert for their IMAP server phantom.hostingseries.net...

I mean, we'll still have to deal with failures in automated certificate rollover, but c'est la vie.

Seeing that the @British_Airways Speedbird Pilot Academy accepts applications up to the age of 55 and momentarily thinking "oooh, what if..." :-)

“This programme contains strong and frequent language from the outset.” Strong language, OK, thanks for letting me know. Frequent language? I expect that if it’s not a silent movie.

Can’t deny that whilst I’ve got a meeting with @AARNet tomorrow morning, a win for Fiji would be good for Wales.
