Honestly @BBCiPlayer is hopeless for #Wimbledon. 2nd half of Draper match not working at all. It can’t be that hard can it? I recorded the 1st half but then it switched channels. All over the shop 😖

@TheScholar44 @oldishbird1 @BBCiPlayer I will say people react to stress differently. I’d take the view that a few tears rather isn’t any worse than throwing major tantrums with colleagues. The latter seems more socially acceptable in the work place.

@rwoolfy29 @oldishbird1 @BBCiPlayer Maybe she cries a lot and has hidden it. But if she hasn't, and is now suddenly sobbing live on TV during her work day, I think it reasonable to ask or worry if this is the sign of mental instability or inability to cope, that has never been present before

@rwoolfy29 @oldishbird1 @BBCiPlayer I do have an issue with a C suite officer sat at work sobbing, especially the highest of the land. Oh it's fine, it's a personal issue don't quite cut it for me

@TheScholar44 @oldishbird1 @BBCiPlayer Succinctly put as always. I don’t get the overblown reaction to Kemi saying she looked miserable. We don’t know if RR has a personal issue. The PM and chancellor are meant to be in lockstep. Their body language suggests they aren’t. Why can’t that be pointed out?

@TheScholar44 @BBCiPlayer Come on now. Liz Truss is an absolute laughing stock. She was a terrible minister and a worse PM.

@oldishbird1 @BBCiPlayer You're right. Truss seems to have empathy and compassion to me. Who knows how reeves is wired. I've not many people who sit at work in public sobbing. Other than actors I guess

@oldishbird1 @BBCiPlayer She looks like she works for an awful private school boy boss who doesn't know what he's doing and only last night made yet another **** up he expects her to bail him out of To suggest kemi picked on RR in her moment of distress, as you did, is total nonsense

@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds Sounds like they’re trying to be everywhere, but if it’s not working smoothly, they’ll have more questions than answers. Get it sorted before folks start switching off altogether.

If @BBCiPlayer are worried there's a DDOS attack underway on their servers, don't worry, it's just me watching Pulp at @glastonbury again....

@bbceastenders @BBC @BBCiPlayer Bernie is taking a massive risk here and is underestimating what the Panesars are really capable of. Throwing Vicki under the bus when she's done nothing wrong was a really brash move and it won't take long for the Panesars to work out what's going on. #EastEnders (1/2)

Don't bother watching anything #Glastonbury2025 on BBC iPlayer, it only crashes and says they are trying to fix it, and you end up giving up with the absolute joke #bbciplayer @BBCiPlayer

@bbcglasto @BBCiPlayer And another issue… when I can actually get a performance (Scissor Sisters 🙄), camera’s so close to speakers or ‘on-stage’ the pictures actually bounce. Absolutely useless! Time for another, more technically prepared broadcaster!
