If you use @AvantiWestCoast automated delay repay I'd check that it actually works. I've been cheated out of 3 payments recently. Avanti washing their hands of it, no surprise, claiming I didn't make the claims and they just removed them from the system. Sums them up really

Those who caused trouble in Southport tonight had no interest in the deaths of those poor girls. Neither did they have any interest in helping a community come to terms with the horror of what happened to it.

My continued debate with @AvantiWestCoast still has them suggesting there is no issue with their system, while failing to provide any evidence. Because, the logic with automated delay repay, is that i'd not want to claim them. Still feels like trying any way to avoid paying up

Haven't posted any new stuff on my site in ages - but Friday's fun with Crowdstrike and Microsoft made me think. It's not an article of finger-pointing or sage-like wisdom, but a reflection on a couple of things I took away from Friday's events buff.ly/3A3J1Ya

Good article from my friend over at @gigaom, Howard Holton, with some takeaways from last week's CrowdStrike/Microsoft double whammy! - Some good tips on things to consider as we look at what we can learn from such incidents. buff.ly/3yaaAi4

George Kurtz over at Crowdstrike has said "The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed." "it could be some time for some systems, it [won't] just automatically recover." and importantly "It wasn't a cyber attack. It was related to this, content update."

neither @Microsoft or @CrowdStrike are having a good day here - but what i would say, Microsoft have continually posted updates - Crowdstrike have been very quiet.. they are clearly linked to this - a few updates would be nice - anyone know if they are posting updates anywhere?

Worth highlighting @BBCBreakfast there are likely 2 issues. One with Microsoft cloud impacting M365 and Azure. Secondly an update from security firm Crowdstrike, that is causing Windows desktops to fail. This is likely impacting a number of the institutions you are reporting on

Nothing like having @AvantiWestCoast trying to renege on its Delay repay commitments on a Thursday afternoon. Delayed and cancelled services on last two trips to London. Now vanished from the repay portal, they claim I didn't submit them. That feels like a con...

This morning is one of @LFC major ticket sales... Having waited patiently to get access the site now delivers this. This is not a one off, how the company delivering this keeps it's contract is beyond me. for most businesses this would be a disaster, lots of lost revenue.

Best team on the night. Best team in the tournament and thoroughly deserved the win. What I would say, It's not that Spain have better players. England have some great players, but Spain are better coached. Well done Spain...

Good game that. Best France have played in the tournament, but Spain are the best team in the competition and have got to the final in the hardest way in beating the next two best In Germany and France.
