Customer service experiences I hate... When you make an enquiry, get a response after 3 days, sent a followup question within 3 minutes, and have to wait another 3 days for a second reply.

No good, it'll take me at least an hour to get to Brighton

Who knows. Maybe UKIP has been on a journey, like the Social Democratic Party, and now campaigns for unrestricted immigration, rejoining the EU and abolishing the monarchy.

Just been driving North past East Finchley tube, in the midst of what seemed to be a large funeral procession headed by a horse-drawn hearse. All the cars had hazards on, and all routinely ignored red lights, cutting people up, causing traffic chaos. Who are these people? Would love to know.

He hasn't addressed a ball either

Agreed. A lusty shout of "Jurriën" as he goes down

Well, that was certainly 45 minutes during which a game of football took place. #LFCARS

"Can Virgil van Dijk shoot himself? I think he should." Harsh, Gary Neville, harsh.

Maybe Trump's just media-shy. He's feeling overwhelmed by the public gaze. Wants to hunker down and avoid attention and publicity for a while.

Have you considered impersonating Chancellors of the Exchequer from the 1970s-1990s?

Perhaps Cicero or Augustus. Possible Charlemagne

It's just simple quantum mechanics. The water exists in a superposition of two simultaneous states: tepid and boiling; it's a straightforward application of Pauli's Exclusion Principle to resolve the probabilistic quantum uncertainty by forcing the wave function to collapse into the 'boiling' state

Very entertaining Mixed Martial Arts event at St James's Park, but I'm unclear why there's a ball in the arena.

He's still out there. Obviously no one's seen him.

Isn't this a variant of self-serving bias? "Price rises are the fault of greedy companies. But my pay rise is simply a just reward for my merit and hard work - I'd have got it anyway."

And in the UK we have a LOT of speed cameras. Four tickets and you can lose your licence. Once you or people you know get a speeding fine, you tend to pay more attention.

Reckon if Schrödinger's putting cats in boxes with poison vials triggered by random radioactive decay, we can infer how he feels about them

Currently involved in a discussion to decide England's horniest monarch. Henry VIII? Charles II? Edward VII? George IV? Victoria?

Honestly had to Google her up, although I'd vaguely heard the name. But then I can be watching some movie and say to my wife "That bloke looks familiar - have I seen him in something else?" And she'll tell me it's Brad Pitt.

I suppose it might stop a bit of it. The biggest impact is probably that it prompts a few parents to ask their 10 year old why they have a VPN on their laptop.
Chris Jones (@chrisjones1.bsky.social) reply parent
Plenty of ten year olds are able to google up the necessary steps, and there are plenty of VPN services that don't require credit cards or age verification. My kids were doing fairly complex coding in Python at that age - would have been a breeze.

This. For such a ubiquitous platform it's astonishingly baffling. You get an alert and then can't find the picture. Things disappear seemingly at random. Search is weird. Do you swipe, click, what? I've never got my head around it.
