@rabidbee The whole of an Essex postcode district? Actually, that’s fairly plausible.

PennyRed Protesters throwing bits of metal fence. Just got hit by one. Christ this is insane

@hbrumleve “Stand back”? Personally, I’m going take a load of tinned food and water and hide in the basement, just in case.

One more episode of _House_ before bed? Don’t mind if I do!

@Thehappyfatgirl You just know Brunel would have made it a swing bridge if he could have done! :)

@OpinionatedGeek Every time I see that hashtag I have to remember that version of WordPress hasn’t just dropped in here from the future.

Taking a break from email to do silly things with the Clifton Suspension Bridge. http://bit.ly/hUUmkk

@valioinc Aaaah! Thanks, thought I must have been missing something obvious!

via Echofon in reply to valioinc

RT @macworld: Oh no! @TheMacalope got into the advil and gin again… Or not: http://ow.ly/1sf5dp <- “Ubuntu Incontinent Ibex”? *snort*

via Echofon

Of course, the problem with finally responding to loads of emails is that it tends to generate more incoming emails

via Echofon

.@BlackDogDays I do not know. I do believe I just saw someone being nicked, though. http://twitpic.com/4dj9id

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays What *is* it? Did someone open a talcum powder factory in Southville while we weren’t looking?

via Echofon

RT @KaveyF: @gothick @ahnlak Eeek! That’s not a latte! That’s an espresso playing dress up in mummy’s white frillies! <— *snigger*

via Echofon

Also, I know Clifton is a tad hilly, but surely this is overdoing it? yfrog.com/h0zffurj

Hmm. Two police cars have sandwiched another car in the middle of York Gardens, and someone’s being searched. Odd.

Why is Bristol so hazy today? View over town looks like it’s actually foggy.

via Twitter for iPhone

Okay. Lunch had. Down to 87 emails in my main inbox. Time for a change of venue and task for a bit.

via Echofon

: Apparently, I do not like the new PJ Harvey album. And it doesn’t seem to be growing on me, either. SADFACE.

via Echofon

@walltowallart Yup, will be doing it for St. Peter’s Hospice. I normally try to raise at least a little something for charity when I run.

via Echofon in reply to walltowallart

Just put in my entry for the Bristol Half Marathon this year :)

via Echofon

@benjohnbarnes (Although I am still eyeing up Garageband and being tempted. Mmmmm. Mmmm.)

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

RichNeville The police won’t be keen to arrest people, as they’ll have to add them all as guests on the census.

@benjohnbarnes Yup. That one seemed to be extra-worth making sure you’d seen…

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@shezza_t *tingatingatingatinga* No *ching* *ching* idea. *tingatingatinga*

via Echofon in reply to shezza_t

@ahnlak Dark-roast beans. Pretty much the opposite of how @KaveyF likes latte :) yfrog.com/h3jxduej

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ahnlak

Boston Tea Party. New Yorker sandwich. Boston Latte. sorted.

via Echofon

@rabidbee Redheads _and_ books? I’d never leave.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

@benjohnbarnes Odd question on Get Satisfaction, by the way, in case you hadn’t seen it.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes It’s bonus month, too. Nevertheless, I should probably save my pennies for a forthcoming time when I may be income-limited.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@valioinc Think I’m being dopey — where do I find the @upthemes Tumblr themes in the Valio bundle?

via Echofon

@benjohnbarnes I’m sure I’d enjoy it. It’s just hard to justify compared to other similarly-priced toys.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

Okay. Lunchytime. Think I shall head for Clifton Village.

via Echofon

Why do I keep on being followed by accounts that are little more than a feed from a dictionary of quotations? Weirdos or bots, I wonder?

via Echofon

@benjohnbarnes They’re still at the level where if I had that much money kicking around for entertainment gear, I’d buy a guitar instead ;)

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes On the other hand, there appear to be waterproof Kindle cases, which could be handy for bathtime reading :)

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes Yes, but that would also incur the non-trifling expense of an iPad.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@KaveyF @tsunimee We are NOT starting MattGetsLoofahing.com.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@rabidbee It’s one of the things I used the now-defunct Spinvox for. I’d leave myself phone messages with ideas and they’d turn up as email.

via Echofon in reply to rabidbee

Okay. Am bathed, dressed and ready for the day. Two hours late, but moving fast.

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays Romance isn’t dead. It just needs mouth-to-mouth.

via Echofon

@KaveyF Audio! Only audio. If I start videoing my baths, @tsunimee will probably demand copies.

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@hayles At which point, how is it “free”, exactly?

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@tsunimee Now I definitely need to lose more weight. There’s not enough room in the bath for two at the moment…

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@KaveyF I should just record all my baths, just in case :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

@KaveyF But I’d be using it upside-down, wouldn’t I? One accidental shake and all my work is gone :)

via Echofon in reply to Kavey

Why do I always get great ideas for websites when I’m in the bath? *types notes while gently dripping*

via Echofon

@EyOki Ah. Yes, probably my reaction is only “instinctive” because of the web/search/marketing knowledge I’ve been cramming for years…

via Echofon

@EyOki I’d never consider doing anything like that, anyway. I mean, basically you’re just gaming Google, aren’t you?

via Echofon

@ahnlak Naturally. Do you even reply to these? I might set up a snarky boilerplate in TextExpander.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@hayles I still have a thriving community where I read and comment; I think I’ve been avoiding talking for various reasons.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles I use Tweetnest for twitter. Shame I didn’t start back I could still grab all my tweets from the early days. http://bit.ly/fONQ7F

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles Aaah. Mine’s mostly a keeping-up-with-friends thing; the privacy settings are handy for ranting about work :)

via Echofon in reply to hayles

@Dru_Marland Wouldn’t you need French police for that?

via Echofon in reply to Dru_Marland

@hayles Now that’s just odd. Gosh, I feel guilty about my LJ. I posted loads there until about six months ago, then it just petered out :(

via Echofon in reply to hayles

I’m starting to get increasing amounts of odd emails about “link exchange”. Does this mean I’ve “made it” as a blogger?

via Echofon

@cabanbury Well, boo for me hibernating through the winter rather than answering them, really. It’s all self-inflicted. *runs bath*

via Echofon

@cabanbury You may be right. On the other hand, I need to get through 146 emails to clear my inbox today. And it’s nice out. Gah!

via Echofon

Damn. @howies have 15% off this weekend. Except for Merino, which was the only stuff I wanted to buy. :(

via Echofon

Morning all! How are we? Personally I’m balanced on a knife edge between quick-shower-and-on-with-stuff and long-bath-reading-new-Interzone.

via Echofon

My weight: 17:8.7 stlb. 0:8.7 stlb to go. Weighin’ in. http://withings.com
