I curate @thequote in my spare time, I remember the early days of Twitter, so I’m interested in people for conversations without a sales patter. Let’s talk!

I'm on a Mac using a Windows virtual machine and needing to use configure relatively simple things using the command line (terminal). Why so complicated?! Nobody would tolerate using Windows if IT managers hadn't started using it to save money in the early 1990's.


Why is @Microsoft so annoying?! On my Mac here using Windows in a Virtual Private Server and the Microsoft RDP app decided to disconnect and remove the connection to the VPS when I'm in the middle of using it.


In exasperation, just had to post this to @Uber_Support Do they have anyone competent in the entire company?

Why is Microsoft such a nightmare?! Today is a rare occasion where I'm forced to use their services. The result is software used previously by me on my personal computer can no longer be used by me, now it's only for work or school accounts and it won't explain how I can use it.


Is @Meta profiting from scams? Well @facebook has told me a paid for advert where an AI generated video of Warren Buffett says I can triple my money in three days doesn't go against their advertising standards.


Now 93% of over 43,000 people! I rejected all Cookies too. This hasn’t gone to plan for them!

The GB News geniuses put their "Should Britain rejoin the EU?" poll behind a paywall. (Nothing says "representative sample" like only asking the people willing to pay for GB News.) Fortunately, there are ways around it. Click the link below... midgard.opinary.com/compasses/gbne…

Working on my @HMRCgovuk Self Assesment and found errors in the form such as a spelling mistake or a link to help file that is not found, so I provide feedback only to find the feedback form failed to work. @HMRCcustomers


Think I’ve already seen enough of the “illiterati” today with with so many things being claimed to be fake, lots of hatred for things not understood, and lots of Americans insisting they are right and the rest of world is wrong. Eleanor Roosevelt was right. #smallminds


I'm trying to sort out car insurance! 🙄 Chat bot says it's very busy, I phone and get through straight and I'm told it's quiet. Another insurer's chat bot tell me to phone, so I do only to be told it's closed. It's not even 5pm yet!


Deliveries collected from @Morrisons are usually ready to collect when a driver arrives. 👍 Can the @AsdaServiceTeam explain why Uber/Roo drivers must wait for the delivery AND often aren't even acknowledged until they have waited for over 10 minutes, causing delivery delays?


I wonder what it takes to get a fuel pre-authorisation refund from @Tesco paid via @imaginecurve Every organisation involved refuses responsibility, including the Tesco Finance Team. It amounts to theft at this point.


I'm hungry but I'm on the phone in an @HMRCcustomers queue! 🙄 Might get a response in 30 seconds, or maybe not for 20 minutes. Should I go eat?! Second number called, total 45 minutes on this... so far. 🙄

Doing an experiment. Some 316 MPs claimed their utility bills on expenses last year, with some members claiming more than £3,000 to cover their utilities. Please retweet this if you think MPs should pay for their own gas and electric.


Just completed the @ONS / @NISRA surgery giving lots of answers that are completely irrelevant and unconnected to what I’m doing now. Questions on hours worked were so poorly worded that the correct answer couldn’t be given after several attempts to answer honestly.

The Tories blocked my Bill to extend free school meals to all primary school kids last week. The week before that they rejected a motion to end private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break. The Tories' priorities: Protecting tax breaks for private schools, not feeding hungry kids.


Why is @NextbaseUK unable to create apps that work? My dashcam is connected to my Mac but the app can't find it. It's just as frustrating with the mobile app where my phone says it's connected, but the app can't see it.

Would Britons support or oppose the UK switching to a Proportional Representation voting system? (30 November) Support 54% Oppose 12% A plurality of 2019 Conservative voters (49%) would support the UK switching to a PR voting system.
