I went full Northern on the tube in rush hour today - spoke to two people over five stops. Once was just to reassure someone they were in the right place and another to point out a man who had his phone torch on without realising.

By giving her crisp bags I have accidentally trained my dog to be a liability in pubs. As soon as she hears a crunch or a rustle she is on full alert waiting for the packet. It’s a good job she is cute.

Things I keep doing that make my life harder, part one. Picking up decaf coffee by mistake. It must be to do with where our supermarket places it on the shelf as this happens at least one in every three purchases.

Because this tickles my fancy even though I don’t do dress up. I reckon someone in my Leeds contacts could have a ball here.

Inspired by this I did some quick flight searches and I could fly Sydney to London x2 a month for the same price as a season ticket from Sheffield to London. And an anytime return on the train is half the price of a return flight to Sydney. Madness. amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

Today I learned from my teen that using a full stop in a text message is rude. I thought it was just punctuation, but apparently not. Add this to the fact that I already traumatise some friends by not routinely using xx and it turns out I am unwittingly a texting renegade.

Husband is trying to help a man with learning difficulties and cancer to sort energy bills with E.ON Group . He accidentally got into debt as couldn’t read his bills (he paid every month). It’s taken 3 months and they’ve provided everything requested inc GP note. Disgusting.

Best seat in the house to see the sun go from first to second pic.

It’s only a small one day festival and it hasn’t rained. It will be fine.

I’m really proud of this piece of work for such an important project. Thanks to Sir Stephen Fry for your support ProstateCancerResearch #PoweredbyNHSData

Just asked husband where the dog’s lead and harness were. ‘Oh yes, we got soaked on our walk so I had to undress her in the car’. 😳

🚨HOW TO BE A GREAT PR, ACCORDING TO A JOURNALIST🚨 It's Friday and I'd like to give some love to PRs by highlighting some of the best things they have done for me as a journalist over the years. Here is how the best PRs work and tips you can replicate! (1/?)

Hi MSC Cruises UK can you tell me how I contact The Virtuosa please? The numbers on the website aren’t working but wondering if I am dialling them incorrectly from the UK? Thanks

Hi Blue Light Card I am trying to contact you about an email I have received but there is nothing but a postal address on your website. Is this the best way to speak to you?

Hi, weird question that this platform used to be great at back in the day so let’s see if it works now. The son of my friend Melody Mills really loves these bins and she would like to source one for him without needing to remortgage her house or live in penury. Can anyone help?

Hi Stagecoach Yorkshire my daughter has left her phone on the bus. She is struggling to get through in lost property line and I have a photo of her ticket so wondered if you could please help?

Well I have worked out how Ultion makes their money. Key bent within 18 months and they are only offering a 10% discount arguing that this is a reasonable quality and is wear and tear. Happened to 2 keys and they have a cartel as you can’t get their keys cut elsewhere. Avoid

This #ClinicalTrialsDay meet Matt Sydes, an NHS data scientist whose research became personal when his son was diagnosed with the same rare cancer he was studying. His son joined the very trial Matt helped develop. ➡️digital.nhs.uk/data-and-infor… #PoweredByNHSData

Dear SIXT USA I’m on holiday. When my hire car goes wrong I don’t expect options to be ‘take it to a garage, pay yourself and make sure it complies or we won’t refund you’ or ‘drive it 100 miles to us and hope it ok’. I do expect an apology.So far not going well.
