@PSNIBelfastE What’s the update on this please? I realise keeping everyone safe is the priority, but it’s been 13 hours since you said ‘further updates will be issued in due course’. Could this not have been cleared overnight?

Police are currently at the scene of a security alert following the discovery of a suspicious object at playing fields in the Church Road area of east Belfast.

@Dmcclane29 @TheRAC_UK Don’t bother. Been with them for years and actually needed it today for the first time. They wanted £168 on top as a ‘call out fee’! Found a local firm who could sort me for way less, without the ludicrous membership model and fees.

Come on @TheRAC_UK £48 a month for breakdown cover? Close to a 50% increase seems a little much doesn't it? I've needed your services twice in about 6 years. Has anyone else had a hike this high? #rac #CostOfLivingCrisis #inflation

@nick_mccleery @GetAnneal Sorry to hear, Nick. Startups are hard, but trying to convince old school engineering businesses to change is apparently harder. Their loss and a loss for engineers: software and mechanical. Keep in touch - keen to hear what you plan to do next…

Calling time on @GetAnneal, at least in current form. TLDR: Just can't move the needle; never escaped the chewing glass and staring into the abyss stage. (Possible skill issue, possible engineers are the worst market on earth issue.)

It's a big day for Team Ctrl Alt 🎉 We are very proud to officially announce that we have closed a £2.2 million Seed Round led by @ForwardPrt and @middlegamevc . Check out the full details in @thisisinsider here: lnkd.in/e9cwHsAs

Another suspected device at Henry Jones and Loughview PS is again forced to close. The sectarian thugs behind this campaign need to stop. BCC pitches are for everyone. Solidarity with @EastBelfastGAA . Have asked for more security repeatedly.

@GRobinsonDUP another security alert at Henry Jones playing fields, causing the closure of Loughview Primary school. This needs sorted and your immediate attention.

@Patrick_OBoyle @EamonLeonard @appfactory @_snaplet @Arran_McCabe @jdfitzgerald @nullpointere @shanedevane Oh boy… today or…? 😅

@EamonLeonard @appfactory @_snaplet @Arran_McCabe @jdfitzgerald I feel like @nullpointere, @shanedevane and @jackspargo should have some spicy stories - I think the worst I've done was a clowny static variable release in Java so every new sign-up was being called Karl (still stored their real name at least 😅)

Twitter friends who have accidentally deleted data in production: @appfactory (founder of @_snaplet) is collecting war stories and would love to hear from you. @Arran_McCabe @jdfitzgerald @Patrick_OBoyle you might know people you can send his way?

Copilot by @github feels like magic 🪄 I've been using it quite a bit lately when jumping between Ruby, TypeScript, Swift & other languages.

@YazMowais @little_light6 @paullewismoney @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus @BBCRadio4 Good luck! DM me if you want to see what I wrote in my letter - I posted it to: Emerald Airlines UK Limited, 6b Upper Water Street, Newry, Co.Down, BT34 1DJ

@little_light6 @jackspargo @paullewismoney @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus @BBCRadio4 Will do, thank you!

@YazMowais @paullewismoney @little_light6 @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus @BBCRadio4 Yes! I did. I don’t know if it was related, but I posted a letter to Aer Lingus UK’s address and got an email saying my claim was approved within the week. It was paid a couple of weeks after that.

@jackspargo @paullewismoney @little_light6 @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus @BBCRadio4 Has anyone had any luck yet? I’m still being ignored!

Wish I could be in Newquay today for @halfstackconf! Have a great time if you’re attending 🏄🏻‍♂️

OK - iTerm2 users: am I the only one that gets this wrong _every_ time? 😅

@paullewismoney @YazMowais @little_light6 @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus @BBCRadio4 Fantastic - thank you so much for the link, @paullewismoney. I’ll give this a read and report back on this thread! 🙏🏼

@jackspargo @YazMowais @little_light6 @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus @BBCRadio4 Please try my nuclear option bit.ly/3dWvGjK it has worked for thousands

@YazMowais @little_light6 @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus Yes, sorry to hear you’re going through this as well! And ours was cancelled only last month so you’ve had it so much worse. Wonder if someone like @paullewismoney or @BBCRadio4’s ‘you and yours’ would have some advice and might be able to get @AerLingus to engage?

@jackspargo @little_light6 @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus Sorry to hear you’re in the same situation. There must be hundreds of us. I’m still yet to have a response from EA, so frustrating! Suppose all we can do is keep pestering?

@little_light6 @YazMowais @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus I just wonder if @UK_CAA are aware of @AerLingus seemingly trying to exploit - potential loophole in consumer rights to hand off responsibility to an overwhelmed subcontractor?

@little_light6 @YazMowais @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus Completely agree. I’d be interested in the legalities behind this: in most (all?) areas, UK consumer protection rights state that the company that takes your money to provide the service (@AerLingus in this case) is the one that pays the compensation.

@little_light6 @YazMowais @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus I bought my tickets through @AerLingus - if they choose to subcontract to EA, I don’t see what relevance that has on who pays the competitive. I wonder if the @UK_CAA know this practise is going on…

@little_light6 @YazMowais @GracieMcD @grombo123 @AerLingus Just reading your thread and I’m in the same situation. @AerLingus cancelled my family’s holiday flight about 2 hours after it was due to depart. Now they’re ignoring me and telling me to speak to Emerald Airlines who don’t reply to any emails or have a phone line… 😐
