@zinziii Hmm. Would do, but will have to figure out how to filter my Flickr RSS feed so I don’t raise the office eyebrows reading at lunch!

I see from @mikeotaylor the Danny MacAskill cycling video is doing the rounds again. As well it deserves to! Amazing: http://bit.ly/5jMsuS

Not enough time left in the day. But actually, watching The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe might best be done during tomorrow’s snow :)

@TheLloydClan Fair to say that my feet are furrier than normal, at least :) http://bit.ly/5OXhn0

An interesting day. I think I’ve had breakfast three times.

@zinziii I suppose I could not add you as a contact, and have a separate feed, but that just doesn’t seem right! :)

via Twitter Web Client in reply to ZinziGraham

@zinziii I use the “photos from your contacts” feed, is all, and like to read it at home and work (and have it synchronise seen/unseen…)

@zinziii I work in a fairly conservative office! Will sort out a Yahoo Pipe or something; sure I can figure out the technology…

@mikeotaylor Hey, these things just move in different circles… Such is the way of funky memetic thingies.

@paulahillier Come to think of it, excellent subliminal marketing: put fattening product in a tall, skinny tin. Damn, they got me!

via Twitter Web Client in reply to paulahillier

@paulahillier The Waitrose hot choc in the tall skinny tin is really nice.

@dressjunkie Yes, definitely behind-the-sofa viewing!

via Twitter Web Client

@dressjunkie No. And as remakes of _War of the Worlds_ go, it was a lot better than _Independence Day_ :D

via Twitter Web Client

Hmm. Just watched the Tom Cruise _War of the Worlds_. It really wasn’t that bad. Which surprised me.

@ianmcshane Have you taken photos of it? I always take nostalgia photos of things I’m attached to that I have to get rid of.

Unlike sodding Lloyds TSB, who are taking ten minutes to answer the phone just so I can get hold of my IBAN. Put it on the web, bastards!

@KaveyF Never seem to get around to soup unless I’m stuck in the house. At which point am unlikely to have carrots and coriander in…

via Twitter Web Client in reply to Kavey

Mmm. Glad of the ice. I’d never have got around to this tin of carrot and coriander soup if I’d felt like going out…

@KellyJanner …but I hate the insincere scripted stuff that companies force them to do.

via Twitter Web Client

@KellyJanner This really didn’t feel like that. Honest. I work in a call centre, I’m happy to cut slack for the people and always polite…

via Twitter Web Client

@pjakobs I complain about my job, but our MD also hates telephone menus and refuses to use them for any of our operations, which is fab.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to pjakobs

And to say “have a nice day.” On the plus side, she actually _did_ have a lovely Irish accent, even with the false sincerity.

via Twitter Web Client

Gah! The reason they’ve got a long queue is because they’ve clearly been scripted to ask you how your day’s going and pretend they care.

via Twitter Web Client

And telling me you will answer my call as soon as possible every fifteen seconds during those ten minutes isn’t helping, Lloyds.

via Twitter Web Client

Nope. Clearly no need for me to panic-buy anything. In fact, forced clear-out would be good! http://twitpic.com/xcn39

Wish every support centre were as speedy as AppleCare at answering the phone. And had such lovely Irish accents :)

@penelopeelse I have an amphibious RC car. I’d try it on the harbour, but if it goes out of range I’d be unhappy…

via Twitter Web Client

Quite enjoying Kenickie. Feel like a poppy version of Feline. Something about the strength of the vocals and the sound of the guitars.

via Twitter Web Client

Right. A second coffee, then down to work. I don’t like to start Saturdays too quickly.

via Twitter Web Client

@shezza_t No. In the end I slept surprisingly well. Playing nice loud music now though :)

via Twitter Web Client in reply to shezza_t

Fuck. Loud Upstairs Neighbours really aren’t going to shut up. Moving onto the sofa in the lounge to try sleeping again.

…which might not be a bad name for a band. “Hey, did you see Funky Memetic Thingies supporting Portishead at Glasto?” Yeah, that works.
