Killer thread that has got me thinking. How many more times in your lifetime do you think you will be able to do what you love, or spend quality time with the people you love?. Take a moment. Do the math. And then. TAKE. EVERY. OPPORTUNITY. PS call your parents if you can x.
1/ On How Short Life Is. A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful. Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?". It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then. .

This still isn’t fixed. Now broken for 137 of the last 150 days. How difficult is it to fix a base station @lutzschueler @O2?. Time to raise it with @Ofcom I guess…. #o2 #mobile
@LutzSchueler Hi Lutz - why is fixing a @VirginMedia @O2 existing mast so difficult? My local mast has been either offline or offering degraded service for over 90 days in the last 500 - so basically broken 19% of the time. Can you or @VMO2News help please?

Just quietly going on about his business - no acknowledgement of this incredible milestone. Just head down, “got a job to do” attitude. What a class act @root66. #cricket #TestCricket @bbctms @SkyCricket.

At #siftedsummit today / tomorrow. Well attended and standing room only for the first main stage agenda items. Very little traffic on X/twitter 🪦 though, unlike other conferences. Where’s the online chat these days?

Hi @tomato_energy - new customer here. The meter display on myWatts looks nothing like my actual usage - why is that?. #TOU #energy #electricity #SmartMeter #S2AD

Good lunchtime interview today by Atherton @SkyCricket with Richard Gould, CEO @ECB_cricket on the current state of #test #cricket and the plans for taking @thehundred #franchise to market in September. Challenging job to balance the various demands of the game, but seems +ve.

The polls are suggesting a change of UK #government on Friday following the #GeneralElection2024 . I've shared my thoughts as to what a #Labour government might mean for #Fintech and #Payments. #funding #startups #VentureCapital #APP #fraud #OpenBanking.

A Labour government in the UK could have significant implications for the Fintech and Payments sectors. Key areas that might be affected include changes to the finance landscape, financial services...

Thanks for writing about the petition for a @AskNationwide member #vote on the proposed takeover of #VirginMoney @PatrickTooher . Could you also add a link to the petition in the article please? .

The building society, led by Debbie Crosbie, pictured, insists there is no need to consult its 16 million members who own the mutual on its bid for the High Street lender.

A broad spectrum of the newspapers all think the #VirginMoney takeover is poorly conceived, that the benefits to #Nationwide members are unclear. Sign the petition calling for a member vote . @SimonEngStand @NilsPratley @albrummer @jilltreanor @akilazoe

Hmmn. Someone starts a petition calling for a #member #vote on the #Nationwide / #VirginMoney takeover, and within two days @MoneySavingExp subsequently block the forum post? . Link to the petition here

Hey @traveloneworld - please let customers choose which #airline #tickets #RoundTheWorld fares via your website. As a Brit, paying in £, with status on @British_Airways, it makes NO SENSE ticketing me on @Qantas - who are incapable of changing RTW tickets (their main feature)!.

Lots of pilots earning their stripes tonight. Quite a few wind shear reports and early go-arounds. #toga #stormIsha #avgeeks.

Would have thought a clear before and after would have been a better way to make this transparent to customers @ShacharBialick. Otherwise it just looks like a sneaky way to increase profits by preying on ignorance and lethargy.

Just been tipped off to the changes to my @imaginecurve Metal #payments #card - prices going up, benefits going down. But you might miss it from their email. @TheFCA #consumerduty. One for @HeadForPoints to write about perhaps? See email 14 Sep 2023 &

What will it take to educate the public that #ActiveManagement doesn’t work over the long term? . #Invest in a cheap index tracker fund, ideally within a tax-efficient wrapper like an #ISA or #SIPP, and leave it alone until #retirement. The end.
