@hayles You too, huh? I am going to bed properly now. And I probably won’t sleep. Grr.

LouisPeitzman English people, WE’LL stop thinking you’re all quaint and proper as soon as YOU stop immediately cleaning up after your own riots.

@alexjbutcher Apparently on mine it’s a couple of screws and a plug-in battery, but if it’s dying just going to let them take care of it!

via Echofon in reply to alexjbutcher

@davidpatrick Yeah, more complicated than it looks. I read the developer guide for it sometime last year.

via Echofon in reply to davidpatrick

@alexjbutcher Also, if it is the battery, it’s still within warranty, plus I have AppleCare. Just be annoying having to get it swapped.

via Echofon in reply to alexjbutcher

@davidpatrick @alexjbutcher I am relatively well aware of the likely causes, and also fairly sure it is none of them. Honest.

via Echofon in reply to davidpatrick

Hmm. My running-very-few-apps phone has lost 66% of its battery on the walk home. It’s possible it is dying.

@DavidJEWood Well, I’ve lived in Hotwells since 1999, I should know the pubs by now :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to DavidJEWood

@DavidJEWood If I really wanted a pint at a pub, it’d be the Grain Barge. Everywhere else apart from Pump House is right on busy road.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to DavidJEWood

@DavidJEWood Also, while I’m sure the Merchant’s Arms is good, it’s not too conducive for outside drinking! http://lockerz.com/s/128…

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to DavidJEWood

@DavidJEWood Ate at the Pump House last Thursday and the food was excellent. But not to worry, have bottle of Old Speckled Hen for home ;)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to DavidJEWood

@DavidJEWood Wrong side! And I can’t afford more than one drink at the Pump House. :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to DavidJEWood

Lovely evening for walking home through :) http://instagr.am/p/JyU5…

hayles Tesco in Stokes Croft fully boarded up now (even the door) Salvation Army’s door boarded up and the Croft’s window.

via Echofon (retweeted on 6:04 PM, Aug 9th, 2011 via Tweetbot for iOS)

@MelvMinton Not that I’ve noticed. Few businesses closing early as a precaution, some boarding-up, no actual trouble at all.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to MelvMinton

Just walked a mile or so through the city centre and this is the first police presence I’ve seen. http://instagr.am/p/JyQ2…

@byrion I work at the Temple Meads end of Victoria Street and just walked down to Baldwin Street. Didn’t seem unusual to me.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to byrion

@byrion Is it? I just walked around it and it seemed no busier than last Tuesday.

@archidave I wouldn’t dare give her any trouble. She could crush me in an instant with those finger muscles.

91dave RT @jonny_boy27: follow @BristolRiots for verified, non-sensationalised, factual information about staying safe in the city tonight

@shezza_t Yes; tram signs in Croydon. Picture’s front page of a few papers today, plus have been interviews with photographer.

via Echofon in reply to shezza_t

@BenPark It never is, to be fair. Deep-tissue massage; it’s all elbows and pain.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to BenPark

Bah. Massage cancelled tonight because my masseuse doesn’t want to risk being caught in a riot. *sigh*

@goatgirl74 Good. Don’t think many people got much sleep last night.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to YvetteMorey

@MatStace I hear they’re in Catford right now. And also not in Catford right now.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to MatStace

@goatgirl74 Heh. No, no trouble for me last night in sleepy Hotwells.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to YvetteMorey

@MatStace Maybe it’s both. We have ourselves a heisenriot. How do you collapse Twitter’s waveform? Will we have to irradiate @stephenfry?

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to MatStace

RT @WebHoundette: @gothick LMAO!! Was supposed to be for @goatgirl74 … <— Ah! That would explain things :)

via Tweetbot for iOS

@Phooto I shall bear that in mind for if I ever have multiple devices!

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto Yes, I’ve used it several times in the past. Just don’t remember ever turning it on. Must’ve done it ages ago.

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@Phooto @asic69 Do you need to turn it on? I must have done that at some point, don’t remember when!

via Echofon in reply to Phooto

@BlackDogDays Which is a fine way of delivering the bill, I’d say. Do you need to borrow a safety-pin?

via Echofon

@asic69 Well, from full charge, an iPhone with the GPS running just about gets me through a half marathon before dying.

via Echofon in reply to asic69

@asic69 But bear in mind their batteries will probably be dead within two hours.

via Echofon in reply to asic69

@BlackDogDays Post a bill for new mats through his van window.

via Echofon

@hayles IT IS DEFINITELY TUESDAY.

via Echofon in reply to hayles

I have just been nominated for a “Woman’s day ” by @WebHoundette. Which confuses me, what with it being Tuesday and me being a bloke.

via Echofon

@teacherdude Yes, never nice to be in the middle of two extremes.

subedited Brixton riot girl in Curry’s uniform arrested for looting THE SHOP SHE WORKS FOR. Honestly best pic of the night: bit.ly/qFhAuS

@teacherdude Heard reports of a couple of photographers being attacked & having cameras nicked on the other side, though :(

via Echofon in reply to teacherdude

@teacherdude I did wonder if we’d have to recall you :)

via Echofon in reply to teacherdude

caitlinmoran I doubt anyone knows more about why last night happened than the wholly admirable Camilla Batmanghelidjh, http://tinyurl.com/3pjgj…

@ahnlak Can you get the geography of it? DDoS unlikely to be from UK :)

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@ahnlak What, that happened to coincide with the Radio 5 bit? Odd.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

@benjohnbarnes Oh, fine, ta. We had far worse when the Stokes Croft Tesco opened. All a few miles from me, anyway.

via Echofon in reply to benjohnbarnes

@ahnlak Should have seeded some 5-friendly ads in advance :)

@Ninja_lynneja So, you leave a trail of devastation in your wake, is what you’re saying? :)

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to Ninja_lynneja

BinaryBad Sky News want to turn off Twitter to combat the rioting? Wow. Tell you what, let’s try turning them off too. See which helps more.

Okay. Finally in bed. It’s like bloody election night. I know there’s no point staying up, but still…

@BristolRed Better tell the Mirror that, because they’re using it on their front page. http://www.mirror.co.uk/
