Aargh! Was just about to go to bed. Then I stumbled across Highlander on ITV. Now I must watch at least until Connery is dead. IT’S THE LAW.
Now that an open Bridge Valley Road is just a folk memory among older Bristolians, could we maybe get the roadworks signs off the pavement?
@hayles @nickbrompton No, it should merely play that sound at full volume in their bedroom at the next 4am.
@hayles Amen.
RT @omcfarlane: Best browser plug-in that doesn’t (yet) exist: Which Tab is Playing that Fucking Sound!? <— hear, hear! (via @BinaryDad)
@ahnlak It doesn’t have to be for straight blogs, either; I use it on Unique Sentence, plus there’s plugins for forums…
Things I learned on my run: It is cold. I am tired. My hip aches. Arcade Fire, to my ears, are a dreary cross between OMD and Human League.
@ahnlak Akismet really is bloody good, though. Well worth the money.
RT @Harkaway: Tech question: if one had two standard consumer ADSL lines, would it be complex to combine them for extra speed? <- @ahnlak?
@amy_kate Good to know!
Off for a jog. Had to promise myself a nice dessert to motivate myself. #getrunning
@amy_kate Does it smell of crayon? #unhelpful
@ahnlak :)
I have solved the design flaw by standing a box of tea behind the laptop. All problems are best solved by tea.
@matthew_roach I’m pretty sure he’d be happy to be sarcastic at me from his sick bed.
Just worked out that the odd light patch in the middle of my screen is the sun shining through the Apple logo on the back #designflaw
@PomegranateEB @benparkatbjs I think I saw Heston Blumenthal do that once.
BBCLondonNews No shooting incident on Oxford Street according to Met Police. They say there’s no truth to the (twitter) rumour…
@hayles @Thehappyfatgirl It’s fine just to fake confidence. Seems to work, anyway.
hitono “Shooting on Oxford Street” was actually “Shopping on Oxford Street”. Police are hunting the creator of the ‘iPhone auto-correct’ function.
@benparkatbjs @pomegranateeb Well, I could dust the ol’ bike off, I suppose. But I’m not sure about the miniskirt.
@hayles Though an “adopt a Mail-reader” campaign could at least be funny :)
@hayles Sadly, you’re specifically dealing with an audience who vastly prefer having their worldview reinforced rather than challenged.
@hayles Preaching to the converted?
@teacherdude :)
@teacherdude Because I learned what Greek I know pre-2008, my vocab’s quite thin on stuff like “bailout”, “crisis” and “money-grubbing git”.
@teacherdude I always know one of them’s the “wrong way round”, but I never remember both the Greek abbreviations without looking them up!
@andybeebristol indubitably, old fruit!
