Absolute dishonest bunch of lying ***ts. As I suspected, just like last time, they pretended to deliver my parcel. Well this time morons I'm not picking it up from a locker. You can explain to the sender why you are stealing their money. I'll get a refund either way. #InPost #Yodel

Why is OpenAI getting away with hacking government websites? Can you imagine the pearl clutching if it was an Iranian company? Why is OpenAI allowed to say "opps it was our software. nothing to do with us!" Maybe OpenAI could release the Epstein files instead?

The business model of Yodel/InPost is to lie about attempted devlieries and then pretend there is an "address issue" to force you to go and pick up the package yourself. The bonus is an app which tells you to contact them with zero contact options. Sellers. Stop using these scammers.

Having claimed they didn't know what my address was (despite quoting it), I was forced to select a locker delivery to get my parcel. They then reported back to the seller that the delivery was unsuccessful because I changed the delivery address! The dishonesty in Yodel/InPost is off the charts 🤬

Rupert Lowe is such a despicable uneducated bigotted extreme right waste of oxygen. He thinks King Charles isn't British and that the United Kingdom has been a Christian country for "thousands of years". Anyone supporting this muppet needs a brain transplant. #Restore #RupertLowe #R4today

I reported a fake air conditioning unit advert to Google. I offered the reviewer $1000 if the device advertised operated as claimed. They said that fake devices don't break their rules. Big tech supports crime and they dont even hide it. #GoogleSupportsCrime

Clocking up another blood donation session. This is what real patriotism looks like. No banners. No crypto-currency. No lampposts. No roundabouts. No crayons. #NHS #Blood

Thanks to the ridiculously stupid passkey concept I am now locked out of my eBay account. Because passkeys are hidden somewhere on my phone I have no idea how to delete/reset. Won't ever be tricked into setting up another one 🤬

Not sure what it is but ITV coversge of #FRAMAR seems a bit weird. Camera work reminds me of watching a local sunday league match in a deck chair. Sound quality is also garbage. Seems really cheap. #WorldCup

Facebook 100% supports crime and scammers. Reported an account pretending to be Elon Musk. Clearly fake, clearly attempting to deceive. No problem for #Facebook. They are fine with criminals operating in plain site. If only we had a government with a spine to take action.

Moral dilemma of the day. I ordered something online for £30. The parcel arrived today but it contained a carton of 7 items. Obviously the warehouse picker grabbed a fresh carton without realising they were meant to open it first. I've contacted the company ...

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

It's disgusting that our government has allowed Fujitsu and the Post Office to rob innocent people and then pay back *nothing*. Why is Fujitsu even allowed to operate in the UK? Why are British politicians so completely incapable of holding criminals to account? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Scammer available on 07928865053 for LOLz. Don't whatever you do tell him his mother was the ugliest goat on the farm. He *really* reacts badly to that 🐏

I wish Strava would let you auto-end an activity when you reach a certain point. Would save me forgetting to stop it and breaking the world record for speed walking.

I love repairing my 3D printer with replacement parts I printed using the same printer. Not necessarily in the same colour ... #3Dprinting #RepRap #FisherDelta

83 hours of printing later and I have the last piece of the puzzle. Just super glue, filler and sanding to do now. #RepRap #FisherDelta #PrusaSlicer #3Dprinting

Two more sections complete. Switched to PrusaSlicer as I the brim/support missing layers bug in Slic3r was causing me issues. 35 hours of print time and I haven't done the big bits yet 😁 #RepRap #FisherDelta #Elegoo

My most ambitious 3D printing project. Someone else's model. 25 hours printing so far. Can you tell what it is yet? Usually use eSUN filament but this flat grey is Elegoo and it is printing well. #RepRap #FisherDelta #Slic3r #elegoo

"New Brazilian just arrived, sexy and cute, =9yo" There is no suggestion it was Trump, Mandelson or Musk who ordered a 9 year old girl from Jeffrey Epstein. So which paedophile is the US government protecting? #EpsteinFiles #Mandelson #Trump

If the House of Lords refuses to remove peerages from paedophiles, foreign spies and people neck deep in corruption then we should scrap The House of Lords completely. Yet another moment when spineless Starmer is going to fail. #Mandelson #Epstein

Alex Pretti. Held a mobile phone and protected a woman. Shot to death. Labelled a domestic terrorist. Anthony Kazmierczak. Attacked a women with a chemical weapon. Arrested and given free breakfast. Labelled a troubled individual. The fascism red flags are flying high. #Omar
