Hi @OxfordBusCo the Freelands Rd northbound stop (on Iffley Rd) is out of use for road works but there's no notice on the bus stop itself, and the suspension isn't obvious. Please provide a clear notice!

I'm not a great one for the themed decorations, but as far as I'm concerned @bodleianlibs can decorate all they like provided they continue to spell "sneak peek" correctly!

Hello Parky Tech X,
How can I change drag gesture sensitivity on an #Android phone? Asking for a PwP with mild dyskinesia. When trying to click/tap something, instead initiates a drag because fingertip slides after touching the screen.

Thanks!

Off to Leeds for a 2-day meeting. To fit in with the locals I've put a padlock on my wallet. @TripeUK do you have any reliable suggestions for offal-focused eateries there?

I have just had a look at the HTML markup of an email sent from MailChimp, and now I need to lie down in a darkened room. It's got more nested tables than a 1970s G-Plan furniture showroom.
@RIASInsurance could you kindly explain what the hell you think you're doing sending an email verification link that doesn't use HTTPS? Not exactly confidence-inspiring.
With the emphasis on MOVERS. Just look at 'em GO!
It feels gloriously appropriate that the next Tory leader will be announced on All Souls' Day, when we remember the dead.
Just had the family round for the afternoon and an evening meal to mark our 40th wedding anniversary. In news from the frontline of teen and early 20s (step)grandchildren, I can report that The Kids Are Definitely OK.
