@KaveyF Are you trying to recreate my university experience?

@technex Where’s your soul? Where’s your romance? Where are your irrational superstitions about BIG ROUND NUMBERS?

@tsunimee Wow. Can’t be a very interesting film, then! *giggles*

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Oooh. Like the black number. Avatar one goes a bit over my head. Sure I’ll watch it in the end, though…

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tsunimee

@AndyCarolan If you did that to me, I’d respond with my customary warm retards.

For anyone who doesn’t know what I’m on about, I did the Eyjafjallajökull trance remix that just featured on the BBC Radio 4 :)

via Echofon

Wow! Just got a mail telling me I made the News Quiz review of the year! :D

via Echofon

@hayles Dead would be fine. Injured, though — that’s _expensive_. *ducks* *runs*

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@Lillput Yeah, main reason I didn’t know was because I hardly ever drive. Car parks just don’t make an impact on my consciousness!

via Echofon in reply to Lillput

@Thehappyfatgirl That was my observation, too. But you’ll see it on signs now I’ve mentioned it. @Bristol_Culture

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

@rabidbee Hah! I have found Bristol’s real West End. And it’s not quite that salubrious. http://www.flickr.com/ph…

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@rabidbee Mmm. But I’m guessing this is an artificial creation meant to evoke London’s West End. Or am I being cynical?

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

Actually, that might be a good question for @Bristol_Culture. When did Bristol develop a “West End”, and who defined it?

via Echofon

@rabidbee I look forward to lots of confused tourists wondering where all the big theatres are.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@rabidbee Turns out it’s the NCP on the Triangle. Apparently Whiteladies Road is also the “West End” now.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@rabidbee Honest. @iphonefool asked me where the West End car park was the other day and I had no idea.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@rabidbee Oh, okay. It’s just they’ve started putting up signs for it now, and I got confused because I didn’t know we had one.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@Lillput I’ve not seen Underworld. Is that a hint that I probably shouldn’t?

via Echofon in reply to Lillput

@bexxi *hug* Okay, let’s stay at home together feeling slightly ill. I’m up for that!

via Echofon in reply to bexxi

@mistymaria Chadwell Heath, Redbridge and Gants HIll, in that order :)

via Echofon in reply to mistymaria

@hayles Dear god. Do NOT go to America without insurance. Bear in mind what I do for a living. I’ve seen bills that would turn you white.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles And I’m guessing below the excess on the travel insurance? :(

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Yur. They don’t get much cheaper than that anywhere. They’re pretty good value as they are, I guess.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Did you do it on the way out or the way back?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@voog Wouldn’t that ability disqualify you?

via Echofon in reply to voog

@hayles *sympathy* Clearly, this also means you need an extra-good job so you can afford the sturdier f/1.4 as a replacement.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles ONOES! What happened to the poor little mite?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

RT @Dru_Marland: @Lillput @gothick “it was the best of films, it was the worst of films…”

via Echofon

@Lillput Actually, maybe that’s the answer. All the critics in the world watch them on New Year’s Eve to reset themselves for next year :)

via Echofon in reply to Lillput

@Lillput If nothing else, it’s probably a good way to recalibrate a film critic.

via Echofon in reply to Lillput

@timhayward Supermodels? Sorry, I think I missed a tweet.

via Echofon in reply to timhayward

Now that’s some serious extremes. Film 4 is showing _Casablanca_ back-to-back with _Star Trek V: The Final Frontier_.

via Echofon

…and I’m from Essex.

via Echofon

I don’t think I need to click on “programme description” for “The Only Way Is Essexmas” to know I’d rather poke my eyes out than watch it.

via Echofon

@rabidbee Good plan! Where _is_ the West End, anyway? I didn’t think we had one when I arrived in Bristol…

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

Wow. Just cleaned this mirror for the first time in ages. It’s like I bought the HD version. Cool.

via Echofon

@rabidbee Well, they feel pretty lovely to use! Just don’t know what the results are like yet :)

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@rabidbee Still got the first roll of film in it. Should drag it out and finish it off. If I’d thought I’d’ve taken it on the Flickr walk…

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

Well, the tidying up has at least started paying off. It’s always handy to know where your 50mm prime lens is.

via Echofon

@Jorence No, I’m not feeling bad at all. Just haven’t done anything for days and it’s hard to start moving after that!

via Echofon

@Jorence Post-illness inertia is a git.

via Echofon

@Jorence :( I took so long to start the tidying I’ve not got around to it.

via Echofon

everythingabili The iTunes 12 days of Xmas is like having a roving reporter at a crap car boot sale

@dottyteakettle Not that the walls around here need a lot of encouragement. I swear some of them are more anchoring bolts than bricks now.

via Echofon in reply to dottyteakettle

@BradleyLaw Just one of the many slightly shaky old hill-retaining walls around here having been got to by the ice…

@chocablog Personally, I think I’d prefer the alternative: an early chocolate and a hot night.

via Echofon in reply to chocablog

@KaveyF I’m with @chocolateguide on this one. Deffo the best pre-prepared stuff, for my money, with possible exception of Waitrose.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Hmm. Yup, think I’ll be walking on the _other_ side of Granby Hill in future. http://twitpic.com/3llf5d

via Echofon

@tsunimee Oh, goodness, did I miss more drama? *looks back through tweets to find out about knee*

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@jacrats I can confirm the existence of outside. Though it seems bigger now, somehow.

via Echofon in reply to jacrats

@tsunimee I’m the fact that you’re plural might be a clue, dears?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to tsunimee

@stillawake While I don’t recall actively hating it, it’s certainly a long way down my list of “stuff to spread on food”.

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

RT @Jorence: @gothick Yay! Build something MAGNIFICENT! <— I don’t think I have any other option! :) http://twitpic.com/3lk9ve

via Echofon

@BradleyLaw I’m playing the Bruce Willis special edition where you’re scored on flamboyance and quality of your one-liners.

via Echofon in reply to BradleyLaw

Hurrah! I am finally well enough to hold down food. Now to tidy the lounge and then Build Something.

via Echofon

@stillawake Eww. I think hazelnut flavour is the main reason I grew up thinking I hated all nuts.

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@sowerbyandluff Oooh, haggis. Maybe I should add one to my shopping list. PS: IOU an email. Sorry. And thanks for xmas single :)

via Echofon in reply to sowerbyandluff

You know, it would be quite nice if the entire media just shut up for a couple of days.

via Echofon

@mistymaria @TippyTLawton @KaveyF After all, if I want to drool over a bloke with chest hair, I can do it any time I like ;D

via Echofon in reply to mistymaria

@mistymaria @TippyTLawton @KaveyF I went to have a bath. It seemed like a good move.

via Echofon in reply to mistymaria

@Narshada I know what you mean. Had plenty of reading time the last few days, but I turn to old comfort books when I’m ill :)

via Echofon in reply to Narshada

@KaveyF You make that sound like it’s not a good thing?

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@Narshada Freakonomics? It’s pretty good. If I had any idea where my copy was, I’d lend it to you. Hmm…

via Echofon in reply to Narshada

@KaveyF How terrifyingly mournfully romantic. Are you sure you’re not a character in a teen vampire series of some kind?

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

In related thoughts, maybe I should open my Christmas cards now.

via Echofon

Hmm. That sounded like a lot of post.
