Haven’t been on here in a long time. But how could I ignore this?!
Thanks Michael

@wearevillagers @emmanuelstone @tcddublin fantastic sounds coming from the Trinity Summer Series stage last night. Love Villagers and that Emmanuel Stone guitar.

@VirginMediaIE Hello, for the past three days the coverage at my house has been dropping completely from 10am until the late afternoon. Can you look into this?

@gplynch Can't say I miss Twitter. Not sure why I logged back in! ☺️
I'm doing very well, despite some big changes in life. Hope you are well too

[Emmanuel Stone @emmanuelstone]

@gplynch Haven't been on twitter in a while.
You sure it wasn't "fuel for fire"?

@ninety6days I'm all for rent controls! But I wish there was some way to account for the many people who are landlords but not by choice or for profit. Paying ~40% tax on rental income when you've got to pay rent yourself is no fun!

[Emmanuel Stone @emmanuelstone]

@ninety6days I realise this isn't what you want, but it would have been a nightmare for us when we moved house. We moved across the country into a rental and rented out our old place. In order to break even on the mortgage/make ends meet we had to charge a lot more than 5% just to cover tax.

@wearevillagers @mattos76 A big fat thank you from me too! (I should check twitter more :D)

@vizard_max What a choon.

@dialup Any issues with dialup at the moment? Haven’t had a call all week 😢

@wearevillagers @LouNicGinnea @daughtersarah When I heard the last few seconds of Circles I really wanted a while album that sounds like that ☺️

@reillser I bought a house directly from the old owner. I send her periodic pictures updating her on the three cats that came with the purchase, and funny things I find in the garden ☺️

[Emmanuel Stone @emmanuelstone]

@reillser Waste of everyone’s time!

@FitbitSupport I figured it out eventually. It's requiring a space for character 4, which is usually omitted by convention. It certainly had me stumped until a friend suggested trying that. I'd suggest updating your parser slightly to allow with or without a space :) Thanks for the reply

@fitbit Hey, trying to buy something on your Irish website but shipping address form will not accept an Irish postal code or allow me to leave it blank. If you've seen zero sales in Ireland recently this is probably why.

[Emmanuel Stone @emmanuelstone]

Tried in two different browsers. The form objects to any input, including none.

@mcdonnellb @seanblanchfield That's true. Does hiding the complexity and energy costs outweigh that though? Maybe not; the javascript ecosystem seems comically complex at this point, and that directly affects battery life. For me the whole thing hinges on prioritising code convenience over system simplicity.
