@bananza Only you and your bank manager know the answer to that one…

@matt_fwyalchen Then you are crazy (if you need them [brackets within brackets, that is.])

@bexxi @matt_fwyalchen Yur. Wot U sed.

@bexxi @lahikmajoe Nah. Tweeting about how to deal with errors just before re-tweeting it might, though *grin* *duck* *run away*

@hayles Aaaah.

11:51 PM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Echofon in reply to hayles

@hayles I don’t know what either of those things are.

@matt_fwyalchen Although I notice in the Grauniad’s [sic] _Notes and Queries_, it has round brackets throughout: http://bit.ly/ggeeht

@bexxi But I think you should just re-tweet it as-is and rely on us to know that it wasn’t you that made the glaring language error :)

11:47 PM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Echofon

@matt_fwyalchen @bexxi Depends on where you put it, and on your style guide. Typically used in skware [sic] brackets _within) a quote.

@RellyAB It’s extra galling have it pre-downloaded and ready. Just sitting there. Waiting. For permission. Grr.

@bexxi Acknowledge error with (sic)? :) I dunno, really. Always a quandary.

@nyssapod @asic69 Damn catchy chorusy-bit, too.

@majicDave @benjohnbarnes Thank you. Currently deciding whether to try a phased approach or just jump and see what happens :)

@twittl3s I think you may have missed the #badumtish hashtag on that one. #gah

@jamesclay @mhoulden Ah yes, that doesn’t look like a particularly well-flowing motorway.

9:05 PM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Echofon in reply to jamesclay

@benjohnbarnes @majicDave It’s a leap of faith, though, considering I’ve neither programmed iOS or MacOS, nor had a great idea. Yet :)

9:03 PM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes @majicDave Keep saying it. This is the kind of motivation I need at this very particular moment in time.

@other_red @BlackDogDays Oooh, I’ve always wanted to be a control group. Maybe I should eat some broccoli and tell myself it’s asparagus.

@BlackDogDays @other_red I avoided buying some tonight for that very classy reason. Though only some people can smell it, apparently!

@matt_fwyalchen I will admit to drooling a little at the sound of that.

@hayles Ahh, the irritation that is the “idiot plot”. The only thing to do in this situation is to hope the characters are interesting.

@benjohnbarnes Seems promising. If a little odd!

12:55 PM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Echofon in reply to jbrownridge

@jbrownridge Indeed. That’s the kind of study that might actually convince me to fork out £50. Hmmm.

12:53 PM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Echofon in reply to jbrownridge

@guriben Hadn’t even *heard* of that as a treatment before!

@alexjbutcher I will replace mine when it goes the way of all previous ADSL routers and mysteriously dies at random one day…

12:42 PM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Echofon in reply to alexjbutcher

@alexjbutcher Apart from that, though, damn it, it’s fantastic. I always seem to have one or two niggles with any ADSL router I buy…

12:27 PM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Echofon in reply to alexjbutcher

@alexjbutcher I have a ZyXEL too. Sadly, it doesn’t get an award as it refuses to reconnect for 20 or 30 minutes after a reboot :(

@BlackDogDays Having checked on the web, I’m fairly sure a Sarmiento is a kind of revolutionary Argentinian baguette.

10:21 AM, Apr 15th, 2011 via Tweetbot for iOS

@RamonY1970 @BlackDogDays PS: Sarmiento? How did it get *there* from “sarnie”? Although the Sarmiento does sound like posh baguette.

@RamonY1970 @BlackDogDays They are directly opposite my office, but I have been made lazy by office Sarmiento lady.

@DrHairbear Given the look I’m currently rocking, the more appropriate analogy seems to be Nora Battie.

@MediaBen Never mind. Give them a pat on the head and a tasty treat and I’m sure they’ll forgive you.
