@UberEats your customer service is awful. I cannot speak to a human. I order a delivery worth over £40 yesterday, which I never recieved. I have gone through your own procedure only to be told the matter was being handled in a different conversation stream and so this one would

be closed. Except you've closed both streams. I'd like to speak to a human concerning this! Please.

One of the driving forces behind doing a PhD. was the feeling that I wasn't challenging myself & was often bored... Oh! How I now long to have nothing to do 🙈😂. #phdlife #PhD

My brain: That paragraph sounds amazing! Can't believe we wrote that. We've totally got this thesis in the bag!!! 🥳. My brain, approx 45 seconds later: This whole chapter makes no sense. It's completely pointless. We are garbage & will never finish. #PhD @ThePhDPlace

@British_Airways waiting ... it has been over a year since I made a simple compensation claim for a flight YOU cancelled. I have heard absolutely nothing from you and keep getting messed around when I try to chase it.

Don't tell me to DM you with details because your agents just ask me to be patient. Could I wait a whole year after I'd flown to pay you? I don't think so.

It is such a blessing that I get to share my love of musical theatre with my incredible niece. @MatildaMusical #MATILDAPOSE

RETWEET: @ITV please add BSL/English interpreters for General Election Questions in between @RishiSunak and @Keir_Starmer on June 4th. Subtitles is not good enough for deaf people who use BSL, understand clear. BSL is another language but understands enough more.

Does anyone else find with their PhD, that they have a few days of incredible productivity... And then nothing, for weeks? I'm currently in the crazy productivity stage, begging my brain to keep it going this time. #PhD #PhDChat #PhDLife

Update: it lasted 2.5 days. Though, as many of you said, I might not see my coding progressing or my thesis word count growing today, but my brain is mulling. Having the weekend 'off' physically at least. Back to it on Monday 👍🤎.

Thanks for all the comments. It definitely helps to know it isn't just me. A PhD can be a lonely place - your comments all made it a little less lonely this week. So, thanks. ☺️🤎. #PhD #PhDLife

But I'm nowhere near as elegant 😂

My take is that only the person who got that PhD gets to decide how they wish to be called, how often, by whom, etc. The rest of us really have no business in deciding this for them, no matter how tempting it may feel. To do otherwise amounts to an unwelcome intrusion.

This is what doing a #PhD often feels like to me... just waiting to be caught out as a fraud who isn't smart enough to do a PhD 🙈. Hello imposter syndrome! PhDs are about smarts. It's about being dedicated to an idea. And the ability to keep on keeping on keeping on. #PhDLife

Not only do @British_Airways cut you off when you try to speak to them on the phone, they now do it when using the chat feature on their website. Your customer services are an actual joke. Not the workers, they are hardworking individuals but your practices and lack of staff

@British_Airways you have consistently ignored me when trying to discuss the compensation I am due from a flight last August. Almost impossible to get through and speak to a human. When I do they say they will put me through to someone who can help - but the line goes dead.

@British_Airways I hate resorting to using this platform but it seems to be the only way to get any kind of response! 😬

You cannot be "busier than usual" ALL THE TIME! It's a Wednesday afternoon. I specifically set time aside during the day to call and still I just get cut off every time.
