@DoIlumtwitter.com donkey dick… No seriously, it was one episode in Spain…

Sunday August 7, 2016 - 22:48

@DoIlumtwitter.com it was this one, in case it doesn’t come up.

@GNRailUKtwitter.com 1744 KGX-ELY was only 8 coaches today. Is this a one-off, or the new normal?

Monday August 8, 2016 - 18:44

@GNRailUKtwitter.com yeah, it’s normally 12, with front 4 going on past Cambridge.

Hey @BBCSporttwitter.com why aren’t we’re seeing any of teamGB gymnasts?

Tuesday August 9, 2016 - 16:33

@loosewomentwitter.com just asked a banal sexist question on Twitter, which has me wondering, SHOULD DAYTIME TV BE ALLOWED NEAR THE INTERWEB?

I am @getmondotwitter.com getting some android goodness… Fingers crossed!

Tuesday August 9, 2016 - 19:09

@getmondotwitter.com WOOT am now in possession of my android-activated investor card. First payments made too. Loving this shade of pink…

@jutertwitter.com I hated that Sapient called project rooms ‘war rooms’. Then, one day I got to say, ‘gentlemen, there’s no fighting in the war room’

Friday August 12, 2016 - 08:44

@getmondotwitter.com FINALLY give me my investor card and an Android app, then this happens. Coincidence? I don’t think so. ;)

@jutertwitter.com “I didn’t fail, I was before my time”. That’s me all over.

Hey @TfLtwitter.com I don’t have a home phone (only use mobile) - but can’t complete a change of details on Oyster without one. Suggestions? #UXfail

@TfLTravelAlerts The form at is badly labelled then, why not just say ‘phone’? Anyway, done now, thanks.

@BigB0bbyTtwitter.com Talk to them now. Most likely outcome is that they’ll simply not pay you for the missing week. References are limited…

Monday August 15, 2016 - 15:43

@BigB0bbyTtwitter.com … to confirmation of work dates. Do you have another job to go to?

Monday August 15, 2016 - 17:50

Suspecting that @twittertwitter.com ’s recruiting drive for devs just got a whole load more desperate… #FirstSevenLanguages

@ian_livingstonetwitter.com I suspect that’s why my degree in Fine Art was a huge factor in my career as a developer.

@DoIlumtwitter.com they’re importing it from space now. Apparently space stone literally falls out of thin air.

Tuesday August 23, 2016 - 11:02

Right. If someone could buy me this, I’ll be happy. Happy I tell ya…

@barneyfarmertwitter.com thank God. I thought I was the only one that could see that look in Giles eyes…

@ruskin147twitter.com oh God, let it be a day van / microbus. Or that @elonmusktwitter.com ’s heart is now powered by a tiny reactor. Would prefer campervan though

Good work @AccentureDigiUK , Orwell would be proud…

Friday August 26, 2016 - 07:44

@zacharyparadistwitter.com @VisualCaptwitter.com sorry, but this is bs. Spurious assertion that life expectancy is corollary to expenditure. What other factors?!

Friday August 26, 2016 - 15:02

@zacharyparadistwitter.com @VisualCaptwitter.com US has wider poverty gap than other countries cited, and until recently little social healthcare. 1/2

Friday August 26, 2016 - 15:03

@zacharyparadistwitter.com @VisualCaptwitter.com … so like any unmaintained infrastructure, more money is needed now, in order to catch up.

Friday August 26, 2016 - 15:04

@zacharyparadistwitter.com @VisualCaptwitter.com Oh and perhaps quality of life / wellness might be better measures. Seems skewed to make social health look bad.

Friday August 26, 2016 - 15:07

@zacharyparadistwitter.com @VisualCaptwitter.com Ok - I get you, but the article seems to be saying ‘increasing expenditure has not done a good job’
