Sumanth says: wow. it posted the comment so many times!!! Apologies.
Noel (leader) says: Loud and clear Sumanth :-) I will keep it to Tuesday unless Nicole can't make it after all that day Tuesday.
Nicole says: We heard you the first time Sumanth lol :P Tuesday still works for me. Pro tip is you have to be verrryy patient while you hit the button to post. It seems like it’s not working so then you keep hitting it and then it posts a bunch.
Sumanth says: learnt it the hard way
Ashis says: I am okay with either but would prefer Tuesday.
Hrishikesh says: No problems
