@Kate_Butler I was just thinking that. Also, “how many times has poking other countries with a stick turned out _well_?”

@nineweeks I’m sorry, @hayles, but I’m going to have to say it: *giggle*

Paul_Cornell ‘The State of the Art’, my Iain Banks adaptation for BBC Radio 4 can be heard here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/h… Yes, even abroad!

@Mouse_House I did wonder. Saw a few vans coming in as I started my jog at about half seven…

And it goes, boom-boody-boom, boody boom, boody boom, boody boom, boody boom, boody boom-boom-boom… http://twitpic.com/4rkups

@benjohnbarnes Well, that’s particularly irritating.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@benjohnbarnes Was the problem definitely today? Apple had gyp with iTunes store for a while last week; nobody could buy anything.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@stillawake Ah. That’ll be the pre-club getting ready. Yes, I have had Those Neighbours.

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@BlackDogDays OMG! It has an introduction by Israel Regardie! I *must have it*! http://twitpic.com/4rjvsu

via Echofon

@tsunimee Heh. Okay, I’ll just sit here and watch you collapse in a pile of confused tweets :)

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee It’s only for when I’m jogging.

via Echofon

My GPS watch just got to 25% success in tracking satellites. I’m still indoors. *ducks* *looks up at ceiling, nervously*.

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays He seemed to be asking quite a lot of people to sign him. It was odd.

via Echofon

Haven’t worn a watch this big since the 1980s. And *that* one turned into a spaceship. http://twitpic.com/4rjpuf

(Thanks to @Jorence for the link to @pummelvision, by the way :) )

via Echofon

To celebrate my 300th @dailybooth, I just @pummelvision‘d all my daily photos so far :) http://vimeo.com/23084528

via Echofon

@BlackDogDays I went out very much with a mind to buy none at all. And bought one. Oh well…

via Echofon

“Go build a cabinet!”

via Tweetbot for iOS

OooooH! Doctor Who! Nearly forgot.

@AndyCarolan @Phooto You have no idea how hard it is… not to do jokes about “touch sensitivity” at this point.

via Echofon in reply to AndyCarolan

New Flickr photo: “Caption Competition”. http://flic.kr/p/9DfHED <— One of the stranger sights in today’s harbourside market.

via Echofon

@Jorence I’m going to superglue it to my forehead so I have to headbutt the finish line :)

via Echofon

@BristolBites More likely to be one of the bigger boats with an open deck. But they’re pretty cool, too.

via Echofon in reply to BristolBites

@BristolBites :D Emily is one of my favourite Bristol Ferry Co. boats. http://www.flickr.com/ph…

@tsunimee Smashing Mag and Web Designer Depot often do articles with links to sets, e.g. http://bit.ly/l8dvr9 http://bit.ly/l8dvr9

@BlackDogDays If you change your mind, we are very bairn- and buffoon-friendly.

@BlackDogDays We’re in t’Watershed if you fancy a drink.

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Jorence @Nose_in_a_book Watershed it is. Very nearly there. Though slightly distracted by chocolate stall.

via Tweetbot for iOS

Wondering if the guy wearing the Union Jack t-shirt in Millennium Square knows the wedding was yesterday?

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Nose_in_a_book No plans yet. I normally default to Watershed. Any food place ideas, @Jorence?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Nose_in_a_book

@OpinionatedGeek Ah, duplicate GUIDs, one of the more oddly philosophical ailments of the modern geek.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to OpinionatedGeek

@andybeebristol I’m more likely to rig it to shock my heart back out of vfib at the top of Bridge Valley Road!

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to andybeebristol

@Jorence Cool. Will need food virtually as soon as I get there, in about 25 mins?

via Echofon

@mikeotaylor Probably not. But I figured heart rate monitor was worth trying, plus iPhone battery only barely gets through a half marathon!

via Echofon in reply to mikeotaylor

Might wander down to this harbourside markety thing and get some lunch… @BlackDogDays @Jorence @Nose_in_a_book

via Echofon

@MediaBen No. Oh, how awful. Sorry to hear that.

via Echofon in reply to benhorsleyco

@stillawake @pearcafe Once ordered a decaf, to have the waitress call over her shoulder, “One coffee! Hold the point!”

via Echofon in reply to stillawake

@Jorence Oooh! It can see my heartbeat. Magic.

via Echofon

@andybeebristol …what I need to do to make myself run faster has very little to do with running and everything to do with eating less :(

via Echofon in reply to andybeebristol

@andybeebristol The heart rate monitor bit is meant to help with speed training. But I’m guessing, overall, no…

via Echofon in reply to andybeebristol

@Jorence That’s one of the reasons I bought it! Main one is the heart rate monitor, though. Lots of people tell me that’s handy.

via Echofon

@Thehappyfatgirl It really shouldn’t have been this bad today. Just had insomnia last night for some reason :(

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

@Thehappyfatgirl (a) Lots to do (b) trying to get myself back in sync for Tuesday, otherwise it’s going to be a hell of a struggle!

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

@Thehappyfatgirl I’m bloody awful at getting *me* out of bed, let alone other people. I just had my shower. My alarm was set for 7AM.

via Echofon in reply to Thehappyfatgirl

@MediaBen A health and safety inspection, a fireman, or a multi-socket extension?

via Echofon in reply to benhorsleyco

Woohoo! Parcel. From the most chipper City Link driver I’ve ever met. Nice!

via Echofon

@manikpixi I’m not too sure about the coke. But yeah, coffee in the afternoon or evening often is not good for my sleep.

via Echofon in reply to manikpixi

Although, look! Got one cool bit of post already today. http://twitpic.com/4rdg8w

via Echofon

Fairly sure that if I step into the shower, the delivery van I’m waiting for will turn up.

via Echofon

@manikpixi I’m surprised you sleep at all!

via Echofon in reply to manikpixi

Incidentally, the Square of Matt is still going, though I still haven’t done anything to make it prettier yet. http://bit.ly/mbBk6h

via Echofon

@Kanga_Rue Let’s face it, though, it could’ve been worse. I’ve managed to drink the watercolour water instead of the tea before.

via Echofon in reply to Kanga_Rue

@manikpixi Ah! Yes, it’s only just coming up to 11AM over here… I drink coke at work, but at home it’s coffee or green tea :)

via Echofon in reply to manikpixi

@manikpixi Mmm, normally the coffee is an attempt to cure the grumpiness. Speaking of which… *bounces off to grinder*

via Echofon in reply to manikpixi

Wow. Just hit 300 snaps on @dailybooth. And only 290 of them are me looking grumpy with a coffee in my hand. http://dailybooth.com/go…

via Echofon

@Jorence I’m very creature-of-habit, though. Portway, towpath, longer runs in Leigh Woods or around the Downs. Need to get to Ashton Court!

via Echofon

@Jorence http://bit.ly/lDQ0FO (Though first time it might help to have one of the Leigh Woods maps with you if you don’t know the woods!)

via Echofon

@Jorence It’s fab to be able to do. Gives you access to a lot more cool routes. Try towpath -> Leigh Woods -> Suspension Bridge next! :)

via Echofon

@Jorence Oooh! Well done! I remember my first time… I failed dismally!

via Echofon

Really? Because that seems like quite an odd “route” to take to get to Bristol. http://twitpic.com/4rcttk

via Echofon

Enjoying listening to @markthomasinfo talking about his “extreme rambling” of the West Bank wall on Radio 4.
