@ScottishPower PLEASE call me back - your phone system has cut me off THREE times today - 179 minutes on hold and still have an issue with my meter and bills. Your online chat team are not competent to deal with this so please CALL ME. (DM for number)

@maxbphotography @FirstEssex Thanks for your input; I don’t have a problem with the coachwork being old, but I do have issues with old-skool engines that repeatedly break down leaving passengers stranded. Also, our particular service is renowned for leaving oil patches all over our brand-new development.

@TomJohnButler @FirstEssex Buses normally stay in service until around 16-18 years old. It sometimes is longer if they have had emissions upgrades as there is nothing to stop then upgrading engines but keeping the old bus body. It is also a lot cheaper to retrofit engines then buy new buses.

Dear @FirstEssex - when will you be rolling out new buses for Chelmsford’s 51 service that serves the Channels development? Yet again, one of our vital morning services has been cancelled due to a broken down bus, no doubt because your ageing fleet is no longer maintainable.

@charlielmcc @ArtcousticUK We loved it there; please say hi to the team from me and Amelia. 😊

Showroom goals 😍😍😍 @ArtcousticUK

@chrispinder @HagaiFeiner Perfect @chrispinder

@HagaiFeiner @TomJohnButler The IR-over-HDMI dongle has an IR RX bud for placement on the TV and an IR blaster on the IR-over-HDMI TX. All IR sent to the TV can be blasted at multiple sources in the cupboard.

Let’s see if twitter can solve this: got one TV over the fireplace. Owner of building has one HDMI running to closet where cable box is. How do I add sources to this setup, where sources are in the closet?

Something’s not right... Both my @FirstEssex bus and @greateranglia train were on time. There must be a glitch in the matrix, or something!

@FirstEssex Maybe he was, maybe he wasn’t. I’m surprised he didn’t spark up a ciggy whilst he was at it, as is often the excuse on our particular service. Your drivers habitually use our route’s beginning and end for a fag and/or chin wag; it’s infuriating. That’s if they turn up at all...!

Don’t you just love it when the @FirstEssex bus driver’s phone call is more urgent than the timetable to which he’s paid to keep... Come on guys, please start to at least act like you could maybe, possibly, perhaps one day, at a push, give a shit!

@FirstEssex @TractorTed The bus stop is being served, I took the 09:10 this morning. Michael is asking why the 08:03 just didn’t show.

@DavidHollidge Are you employed in an astrophysicist type of role?

@HagaiFeiner I meant long hair! Sorry dude! 😬

@TomJohnButler “if you had hair” lol man!

@HagaiFeiner I’ve just realised how much you’d look like a young Bruce Springsteen, if you had hair! I wonder if you’ll age as well as he appears to have, in this picture! 😘

@charlielmcc Is that the front wall of the @ArtcousticUK showroom? Can’t wait to see the updates, especially your new @haydenfurniture 👍🏻

😍😍😍

Thanks for today @CEDIA and @Blustream_HDBT - a very informative and enjoyable session. 👍🏻

@HagaiFeiner A useful article I once read, on exactly this subject: smallbusiness.chron.com/difference-bet…

Ugh. I don’t like the word “customer”. I want all of the people and companies I serve to be my clients. And I’d rather be someone’s client (and not merely a customer). Slowly progressing, a shift is coming. Make them your clients!

I just took a call from a new client, who found my company details via the @CEDIA ‘Find A CEDIA Pro’ section of their website. That’s this year’s membership paid for in one fell swoop! If you’re considering whether or not to join or renew, next year, then take my advice, and do!!
