@sowerbyandluff Oh, I’m fine, in quiet hollow of Bristol. Mostly up still watching London stuff because I grew up in Gants Hill.

@nedwards You should hold an onlineference to weducate people about that.

@thenicolabryant Seems fairly well-reported. General consensus seems to be Blackberrys favoured because they’re cheaper. No idea myself.

@SpltMlk No, I think it’s more of a metaphor. For actual riots, it’s still The Clash you want.

via Echofon in reply to LargestCircus

@SpltMlk Huh? It’s about a night out in Leeds, isn’t it?

via Echofon in reply to LargestCircus

@katiemoffat @bennycrime @Whatleydude Indeed. What’s the worst-case scenario, here? You get a new car, right?

via Echofon in reply to katiemoffat

I bet the Kaiser Chiefs are feeling pretty smug right now.

@sowerbyandluff Are you guys all right? Leafy Crouch End doesn’t seem too rife for a riot, at least.

@indiaknight I’m nominating that as my Sentence of the Evening.

@PinkSweetSz @tsunimee Might just be overreacting to a normal night around town :) I’d check the local news tomorrow.

via Echofon in reply to PinkSweetSz

@PinkSweetSz @tsunimee Not sure, just heard it namechecked in the riot list on the Radio 4 news.

@KarenMesser @tsunimee The police searched our bags, and found a tympani beater, some chinese drumsticks, and a copy of _The Joy of Sex_.

via Echofon in reply to KarenMesser

@KarenMesser @tsunimee We had cleverly hidden from the police on a park bench. After getting drunk at a charity concert and climbing in.

via Echofon in reply to KarenMesser

@KarenMesser @tsunimee Although from what I remember, it was Clayhall Park where one of actually got taken away in the back of a police van.

via Echofon in reply to KarenMesser

Ilford? Goodness. The most civil disorder we came up with when I lived there was getting drunk in Valentines Park.

@SimonPeevers My theory is that it’s been organised by the BBC for some filming after the special effects budget was cut.

I just stubbed my toe. I reckon social media must be responsible.

@misslo Oddly, I’ve only started visiting Camden since I left London. Great place.

@misslo Mmm. I was born in Newbury Park, grew up in Redbridge and Gants Hill.

@charlie_cat_esq If I can stretch it till 9 it’ll be New Tricks for me. Love a bit of James Bolam, me.

Bugger. Have mis-timed my cooking. Is there anything on telly apart from rioting?

via Echofon

@tsunimee @hellopolly To be fair, if someone gave me a chocolate teapot, I’m fairly sure it would calm me down for half an hour, at least.

@AdventureTeam Not of their own accord, but if the person who *sent* the DM to you deletes it, it will disappear from your received DMs.

…I found out on the way out of the office that one of the chaplains was my boss’s great uncle and godfather! Think I’ll have to listen.

via Echofon

Radio 4’s 8pm _Document_ on the chaplains who baptised a lot of Jews in a hurry in Austria in 1938 sounded interesting anyway, but then…

via Echofon

Right. I should cook, so that at least while I’m wasting time fiddling with CSS something useful is happening.

via Echofon

@KellySibson I’m not sure what I expected. But I grew up here: http://bit.ly/qy4qGx which is why I was curious to see the map…

@JamesCridland @jemimakiss Awesome. Can you overlay an income-per-household layer?

@tsunimee 999 is the official UK one, but the European one (112) also works, and I think even 911 works. Not trying it to find out though!

@teacherdude Think I’ve seen articles like that for every public communication technology from CB radio onwards…

@Mouse_House Calm now, Mouse. Don’t start off hating them before you’ve met them. Good luck!

@EtcEtcOnline …but it might indicate a certain lack of self-awareness if you’re bad at writing and don’t have someone better check CV.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to DarenLeighfield

@EtcEtcOnline Depends. If the job doesn’t need good written communication, it doesn’t matter so much.

@hayles And I have a title for my autobiography.
