@tyronem @maverick_mummy Why on earth did they think this was a sensible thing to do? Especially turning it on by default. Just… weird!
@misslo Well, it’s certainly a better idea than an after-dinner run!
Stupid bloody twitter have turned on stupid bloody replies-by-email notification for me. Grrr. #quickrobintotheoffswitch
@hayles No, I tried to get a licence, but there’s all these dumb health and safety laws. Best I can do is juggling blunt scissors.
@hayles *juggles*
@MediaBen Sounds like a plan.
@MediaBen Mid-life crisis?
I haven’t checked the news today. Is celery still safe to eat? Or has it been added to the murderous vegetables list?
@tsunimee @hayles I’m safe. I can jog faster than First’s buses move. Come to think of it, I can stand still faster than First’s buses move.
@roundonefight You’ve lost the Internet? Have you checked down the back of the sofa?
On the way home. @ Hotwells Waterfront http://instagr.am/p/E_el…
sthursby Best 404 page ever? Tip of the hat to @jonmacarthur for finding it – http://iplanwebsites.com…
@stillawake Cooked entirely by the power of prayer?
@justinw No. I know just what you mean. Unless they’ve bought Dropbox, or something :)
@stillawake @Bristol_Culture @BlackDogDays (Though I’d not recognise anyone, as I don’t watch TV news, barring major disasters.)
@stillawake @Bristol_Culture @BlackDogDays Hah. My bet on “a reporter from 500 yards up the road” was a solid one, then :)
@stillawake I’d guess something on the BBC simply because they could walk down there in five minutes to shoot it :)
@BlackDogDays No, but I was trying to get stuck into a new book, so I wasn’t paying much attention to the outside world!
@seengee Initial ease, really. I’ve only developed a couple so far!
@seengee Oddly, I found its extension model quite bad compared to Safari, but that may just be Apple’s docs being much better than Google’s!
@nyssapod Er… Almost certainly! If you can’t find me, let me know and I’ll look it up when I’m on a proper computer :)
Grrr! :) http://instagr.am/p/E-WI…
@guriben Hopefully you have strong coffee and a croissant to combat the problem!
Ha! Can you tell that I just finished _Down and Out in Paris and London_ on @goodreads? http://twitpic.com/54rw9s
@Jorence Well, yes, but you do appear to currently be a orangutan. The arms probably help more. @runnerbeany
@thomasvenables Heh. Potentially as bad as the killer bees?
@emmashoemake Pleasure!
@emmashoemake Evenin’!
@hayles Mm-hmm :)
@Kanga_Rue Nope! Although I’m not sure we should encourage this kind of thing with a prize…
@hayles Pleasure! Hope you enjoy it :)

RobinFlavell I always get “imply” and “infer” mixed up. Anyway, I’m off to watch The Towering Implyno.
Launching a little spring spruce-up of the Get Running site :)
@dottyteakettle Very possibly! #knobwars
@dottyteakettle May the knob be with you.
@dottyteakettle AND a knob!
Knob. @ Royal York Crescent http://instagr.am/p/E8LI…
Whenever I see this Clifton Village regular, I think of Patrick Jane :) #mentalist #Bristol http://lockerz.com/s/106…
Ugh. Rain. Glad of free cap that unexpectedly arrived with new trousers! http://lockerz.com/s/106…
Ooof. Right. Time to go out for lunch and drugs, I think. Not feeling terrible, but oddly at 7º to reality.
@Jorence It’s great when I’m just supplementing a wedding photographer; get all the fun and none of the stress :)
@Jorence Cool. Just made sure you had the right permissions. Only a couple of them are public.
@Jorence Are you a “friend” on Flickr? Can’t remember! Photos are there if you are :)
@tomcoates I may now have to register “amiaterribleperson.com”.
@Jorence Very fine indeed. Good time all round. And an excellent band.
@Jorence Good for candids at weddings, too. I use my 17-55 almost exclusively, because it’s awesome, but want something longer too.
@Jorence I was hoping the wedding at the weekend would push me in one direction or another, but I still want better ISO _and_ a longer lens.
@Jorence Thank you. That is, indeed, an excellent article. Still think I’m upgrading to a 600D soon, though :)
@penelopeelse Excellent. Always good to have a test system. It’s a lot less nerve-wracking than the tightrope of live changes :)
@ParkBen They don’t?
@ParkBen Oh, bloody hell, Bristol. That’s not nice. And I’d not even been to look at it yet.
@Jorence I should be going to a birthday barbie today, but I’m not feeling well enough. I think indoor Orwell reading beckons for me.
@pjakobs The evidence builds! RT @51bits: Interesting! Ugly fonts (Comic Sans) may improve learning http://bit.ly/iL0wlR via @nicksealey

@Kanga_Rue That may be the geekiest tweet I see today.
@simondebrux Coffee gives all the oddly scientific joy of drug paraphernalia without being illegal. Yet :)
hotdogsladies Okay, who the FUCK moved my Buddhism book?
So. Angry.
@RamonY1970 Hrm. That does, however, involve getting dressed and going out for lemons, limes and honey. I might start with a coffee.
Ugh. #sorethroat
Where was I? Oh, yes, going to bed AN HOUR AGO. Gawd, I’m rubbish.
@maverick_mummy Not that I recall.
Audioboo: Still fiddling with this. Still don’t know what to do with it. http://boo.fm/b370920
@maverick_mummy Nah. Must’ve been something healthy I ate. My body probably hasn’t recognised it as food.
Ugh. Not feeling too brilliant. Think I shall head for bed and see if whatever it is is cured by sleep.
@shezza_t Of all the BBC videos to have no sound!
@archidave Waving jars of vinegar and shaking dill at them can scare them off, I hear.
Seriously, I leave the news alone for a couple of days and *these* are the headlines I come back to? http://twitpic.com/54aa8e
Tiiiired. But flat not even half tidied yet. Bugger.

RT @talkie_tim: Have just been informed that taking a photo of a church is an abomination in the eyes of god. <- Bad news for wedding ‘togs!
Right. Bathtime. With Interzone. I may be a while. Then lots of tidying up of messy flat.
@Mouse_House I’ll let you off, then :)
Friday’s wedding band were @likethebeatles and they were FAB! http://www.flickr.com/ph…
@Mouse_House Ooopsie. Well, glad you’re not hungover. And still alive. #alwaysreadthelabel #thenmaybedowhatitsaysdammit
@Mouse_House Bloody youngsters. Mine can last two or three days now.

@maverick_mummy It’s fantastic. :D
Wooo! Bonus sparkly wedding cupcake :) http://lockerz.com/s/105…
@scottejames Nah. It’s easier than actually talking to people.
@chocablog Excellent. The last time I had a delivery Kavey turn up, my kitchen ended up completely full of bread. Delivery Kaveys are good.
Home! After a lazy morning mostly involving drinking coffee and driving back from Clevedon. Now for a lazy afternoon. #mildhangover
@archidave It’s very nice, is what it is!
Lunch. http://instagr.am/p/E0zt…
@tsunimee Population 2, baby. Though not so bad now I’ve had coffee & breakfast#hotelo#bonuso#hangoverover
Clevedon. @ Walton Park Hotel http://instagr.am/p/EzCX…
Morning all! Day off for a wedding today. Hurrah! Let the extended weekend begin.
@arlinelyons Heh. I’m fairly sure that novelty volcano name songs should be restricted to “one hit wonder” status :)
Brigantia @ Cascade Steps http://instagr.am/p/Evyv…
@tastapod Don’t worry. I imagine Rational’s process for tweeting has a year lifecycle and produces something that’s over 140 chars anyway.
@tsunimee I just get them done at the barber’s when he does my hair. Or were you asking the girls? :D
@danielpunkass They’ve not turned it on for me, either, and I have new follow mails on. Maybe they’re rethinking in light of universal hate.
@penelopeelse Oh. Erm. Well, for my own stuff, I use favstar.fm. Don’t know if they’ve got a way of looking up specific tweets, though.
@penelopeelse Erm. It’s possible I’m too tired today to understand what you need in 140 characters. #feelingdopey
@penelopeelse (And, erm, isn’t the “favourite” button Twitter’s “like” button? But I guess someone’s already said that by now…)
@penelopeelse Ignore any justifications, and ignore him. Any complaints, tell him you’re ignoring the rudeness, not the person.
“I’ll just postpone you for 30 seconds, sir!”
I think you’ll find you won’t postpone me at all.
Oh, Broadmead. No, I don’t want to change religion, be surveyed, give you my bank details, or change opticians. I just want to go to a shop.
Just posted a photo http://instagr.am/p/EvKf…

Oh. So I look *that* good, do I?

@csoanes You took the engine out?
@matt_fwyalchen That’s perfectly all right. Not sure your leg warmers go with the shoulder pads, though, if I’m honest.
@hayles (Suits you, by the way :) )
@hayles HELLO BLONDIE!
Snap from this morning’s walk to work: One. http://flic.kr/p/9LYVAG
@Dichohecho I can see new stuff, but when I first start my client, it’s empty. Ah well.
@penelopeelse But who knows. I liked Madonna when I was a kid, too.
@penelopeelse It was live performance of Paparazzi at the MTV awards that made me start to pay attention (really!) http://bit.ly/lsRGrH
@hayles Yeah. “Computery things” is my version.
@BlackDogDays That is because Fraggles are cooler than Cliftonwood. Rah!
@BlackDogDays Are you saying that Fraggles aren’t cool!?
I have to say, while I prefer running, cycling 10K is a lot quicker :) http://runkeeper.com/use…
On the plus side, it’s about time I got my money’s worth out of both the processor cores. And my flat needed warming up anyway.
iMovie’s “time remaining” for importing this video: 3 hours. And if I use it at all, it’ll be condensed down to about two minutes. D’oh.
@Dichohecho This —> http://bit.ly/klAGsI
ShearmanRobert Since I arrived at Terminal 1 I’ve bought 3 shortbread tins, put on a stone, and may have got engaged to a Dutch woman.
@BlackDogDays Don’t people pay good money for that look these days?
@SplashMan Welcome!

Much as I like Tweetbot, who wants to snap a picture and thinks “media from camera”?
@RamonY1970 I might go out on the bike tonight, just to see if it and I still work :)
@mikedunn Yes. If you like the Mighty apart from the stupid trackball, I think the Magic will be a good choice.
@mikedunn Yeah, they really know how to set a price point to make you have to think quite hard about it, don’t they?
@runnerbeany Redcliffe Bridge, Queen Square.
@BlackDogDays Hurrah!
@johnmcg Are you kidding? They’ll be far more riled up than they would be about minor matters, like football, or democracy.

@twittl3s Not only is that a brilliant hashtag, it’s also a great name for a brand. #marmiterefugees
@hayles Smoke is probably more excusable, being addictive and heavily marketed.
@the3rdgirl Sounds like a job for the fire brigade!
chrisphin Shhh, xkcd; you’re ruining it for everyone. http://xkcd.com/903/
On the plus side, lunch with one of my favourite people today. Now, I and my headache must go have a shower so we can get to work early.
@RamonY1970 @Jorence And you can *wax* for that? Sounds painful! (Remington. That’s all I’m saying.) #oldfartconfessions
@hayles Aww. I don’t think cough medicine goes off. Or if it does, I’m living proof that it doesn’t kill you.
@Jorence I am also tired, headachey, grumpy. I have no training programme. And I have no idea if my nostrils need waxing. Bah.
@tyronem That does seem to be an excellent summary!
RT @thomasvenables: @gothick me want sharp murderous shiny blades of steel <— Erm. I appear to have given the game away, somewhat.

@Lillput I’m going to make some of my own up. If you give towels, they must be rolled, not folded, otherwise the couple will be divided.
@Lillput Well, now it’s all got very complicated. Except I avoided the knives anyway, for the murder-related reason. Good.
@graulund Fax it to yourself so you have a copy.
@Lillput I didn’t know there were *rules*!
@betty_watson Hah! Yes, I tend to leave those for family to buy :)
@shezza_t I’m not buying for Tom & Jerry!
Buying from a wedding gift list. Is it just me that avoids buying breadknives in case they turn out to be the murder weapon? Oh, it is? Oh.
@Pockless That’s no Father Christmas! That’s Alexei Sayle!

@KaveyF NEVER MIND DEAR.
@andybeebristol I can believe that. But yeah, it feels like a good, if slightly scary, idea.
@Phooto If I had more of my own actual music, I might. As it is, I’ve written virtually nothing. And putting other people’s out is tougher!
@Dichohecho Oooh. Maybe if there’s a hash, it doesn’t break the word because it looks like something a bit more technical than a word. Odd.
@Dichohecho You’re enjoying breaking everyone’s web twitter, aren’t you?
@Dichohecho @KaveyF I think we may be getting confused here! http://twitpic.com/5217x0
@Dichohecho @KaveyF This is genuine American popping candy, corn syrup, artificial flavour, red #3, the works :)

@KaveyF Oh, hang on, wrong reply.
@KaveyF Ta :)
@Dichohecho Such are the dangers of too much popping! #popopopopopopop
@Lillput @Dichohecho Somebody doesn’t have word-wrap: break-word set in their CSS.
@Phooto Fairly sure it was one I learned from Malcolm, lead guitarist of Napoleon in Rags, one of our school bands!
@Phooto …but thank you :) I have been playing that particular song on and off for rather more than two years.

@andybeebristol Incidentally, so impressed by your idea of taking a very late gap year that I’m thinking of doing it myself!
@Mouse_House Sounds good.
@Mouse_House I would err on the side of truth & hope, personally. Generally works out better.
@Mouse_House Generally, to cover own arses, most firms simply confirm that you worked there. But depends on company.
@chrispople @meemalee @EssexEating I have never actually watched it, but I get the impression it might involve knowing how to cook? :)

.@alexjbutcher @anachrocomputer I should probably have mentioned in my RT that @hannahnicklin is quite a ways from Bristol! :)
@tsunimee No! Just saw it and thought of you.
@hannahnicklin Would probably help with my plan to put “Madagascan Stealth Rhino” signage on an empty cage in Bristol Zoo one day…
@hannahnicklin Whereas I’m currently struggling with learning graphic design! #needamindmeld
@hannahnicklin …and I’m afraid I’m not up on workshops. Would love to get to know Arduino, but am already spreading myself too thin!
@hannahnicklin Most of my soldering & other basics skills came from awesome GCSE electronics teacher…
hannahnicklin @gothick Do you know of any workshops on arduino stuff, and basic soldering DIY electronics? Think I need to kick-start my knowledge.
@hannahnicklin PS: My credentials: http://bit.ly/kFe7cA :D
@hannahnicklin I’m pretty good at it, if you need any specific advice.
@MatStace Hinge? I buy about one a year. Still so worth it :)
EmmyThomps Of course the Ryanair test flight didn’t crash - their planes are unique. Others fly by aerodynamics; Ryanair is rejected by the earth.
