@rhodri Hmm. Wonder where the millions were wasted. Buying a lot of Polyfilla, maybe?
@Kate_Butler Yeah, it’s one of the few bots where I’ve thought, “ooh, that’s quite a nice idea…”
@Kate_Butler Ironically, though, you were right. I guess @_spell has an American dictionary.
@martingoode Er… I thought the Vatican _was_ a country?
Wot you lookin’ at? http://twitpic.com/4s2hm1
@shezza_t Oh yes. And there were two of them. Double menace!
@mikeotaylor @SimonPeevers By hand. Think I could’ve done it by uploading a track, but for 5K it was probably just as easy to click a bit!
@guriben It’s amazing, isn’t it? Am astounded we generally make it to seven, let alone seventy.
@hayles Also, I have no idea how this huge rolling boulder got into my flat.
@hayles :D
Also, two-year-olds have a Steven Segal-like ability to turn any everyday household object into a deadly weapon.
@hayles Well, maybe the rotating knives.
@tsunimee Working for me. Maybe Twitpic was just having a funny five minutes. It is a bit rubbish.
That moment when kids visit and you realise your flat is about as child-friendly as a booby-trapped temple in an Indiana Jones movie.
Standing on Zanzibar. Ish. http://twitpic.com/4ryzoq
Just fed the lorikeets :)
Thought the man walking toward me was in some kind of official uniform. Turned out his “70 Today!” badge just goes well with his jumper! :)
Tacking lazily up the hill to the zoo. @ Clifton Suspension Bridge http://instagr.am/p/DvpT…
@bexxi Well, I’m guessing the person drilling and hammering is doing something that’s actually _necessary_…
@BlackDogDays :D
Woo hoo! hoo! hoo! I’m going to the zoo! zoo! zoo!
@mikeotaylor @SimonPeevers Ta! Have just traced your trail to turn into a RunKeeper route :) http://bit.ly/jJ8274
@mikeotaylor Looks good to me! (Don’t really mind if I do come last; just dispiriting to know in advance that it’s foregone conclusion!)
@mikeotaylor @SimonPeevers I’ll do it as long as there’s a fair chance I won’t come last :)
@SimonPeevers So far, only doing the biggies. Bristol 10K & half. Might be convinced into a fun run here or there :)
@matthew_roach Cool, ta!
@SimonPeevers I guess it’s because I find the atmosphere quite encouraging at big races, and feels like the headphones cut me off from it.
@SimonPeevers Like I said, I’ve never really felt the need for them on an actual race. Odd, because I really do when I’m training.
@tweeny4 People keep telling me those spongey straps are good. Really must try one!
@Jorence @domwakeling Probably because I used #getrunning, so I needed to have headphones in anyway!
@Jorence @domwakeling I’d like to try running with headphones less, but it really helped me in the beginning, so I’m quite attached to it.
@domwakeling Maybe I just tend to interpret “please don’t do this” as a ban, in my head.
@domwakeling Then again, I’ve never ended up using headphones for actual races — lose too much of the helpful crowd atmosphere!
@domwakeling Bath Half definitely bans. Probably because it’s a two-lap course so there’s more chance of you inconveniencing someone faster!
@Jorence @domwakeling …will be fine; will use RunKeeper plus the 305 for heart monitor, and not allowed headphones on most halves anyway!
@domwakeling @Jorence But to be fair, bought the 305 mostly for heart rate monitor and better battery life for half marathons. So…
@VeraR2010 Okay, I’ve checked, and yes, I’m on Elite. Things I like: RunKeeper Live, and FitnessAlerts (little emails for personal bests!)
@domwakeling 305 seems fiddly, too. But I think most portable tech seems significantly more fiddly since modern touch smartphones arrived!
@VeraR2010 Errr. Probably! Think I signed up for it for the fitness report thingy. Is the race stuff only for Elite people, then?
@benjohnbarnes @bccore Yeah, what @VeraR2010 said! Go Bens! :)
Oooh. @Runkeeper has routes for actual races now. Just signed up for the Bristol 10K on it. http://bit.ly/ePfJe6
@Jorence It’ll do some stuff for me fine. Problem is I like to run with music/podcasts, so I can’t hear the beep, annoying or otherwise!
Think I should have bought a GPS watch with a vibration alert. It often takes a cheap toe in the water to figure out what you really need!
@Jorence @Nose_in_a_book Ah. Well, I shall prepare to be blamed. I’m not sure whether I should post a list of keywords for you to avoid…
@BlackDogDays Enjoy!
@Jorence @Nose_in_a_book Goodness. I’d hate to think I was encouraging anyone into unsafe tweeting :)
Dru_Marland anyone have a bike stolen in Corn St Bristol yesterday? (please RT)
