Any UK folks here using 3 Mobile for home #broadband using a 5g hub?
I have lost vital #VPN access since 10am Friday last week. Customer forums are full of people with similar issues (and not accessing Drop box/similar).
Anyone else having this? Have you found a work around?

There seems to be vast amounts of police at College Green, #Bristol at the moment. If it is a demonstration then there aren't that many people and most have #Pride or #Transpride flags.

I put together a starter pack of people I could find here who work in social marketing (not social media mktg).
If you use marketing to influence behaviors for health/social/environmental good, or know others who should be on the list, let me know and I'll add you.

Having just watched the last episode of #TedLasso, I'm reflecting just how brilliant the whole show is.
A slow but brilliant burn.
And the use of Father & Son by Cat Stevens... Is someone cutting onions around here?

Back to donating platelets and plasma today after a few rescheduled appointments due to illness.
My other half decided I was weird yesterday because I said I was excited to sit down for an hour with a needle in my arm.
Tbh we have been together 20 years next year, so if he hasn't noticed by now...
