Have to say, I’m quite surprised anyone noticed that Google+ is down.
@LordHyperbole The beer really is very good. Was a bit quiet at lunchtime, but it doesn’t need many people in there to create atmosphere.

@thekarleighshow I am *so* not going to google that.
@mattgemmell Yeah. That was a major downside of “upgrading” from my old iPod Nano/Shuffle; I find media devices better with control buttons.
@hayles think that was pulled. See my RT from @MrGreenGus for the Sustrans link; seems to be the place to get them now.

@claireellent Before I forget: “Safety Not Guaranteed” & “Gambit” were the ones we thought looked interesting last night.
@Thehappyfatgirl Of course I would. The detail! The fine penstrokes!

RT @Thehappyfatgirl @gothick found you one….. lockerz.com/s/257155350
@Thehappyfatgirl Permission to re-tweet, miss?
@claireellent At the very least you could have unfolded it and sheltered under it :D
Sure you used to be able to order nice paper cycling maps of Bristol from the council website. Can’t find them any more…
@MrGreenGus 19:45 (at the Orpheus.) Yes, really not bad. Though the technobabble a bit much to take for a geek…
@claireellent Oh. And “Eve”? Also “Selena”, from _28 Days Later_.
@claireellent Short of taking the back off and poking around, I think you’ve probably tried all you can.
@jonhickman It’s a great deal better than The Phantom Menace. Then again, so is slamming your fingers in a car door.
@claireellent I could bring my hammer around? Erm. Is the TV running off a digital box? Try unplugging/replugging/otherwise waggling cables.
@claireellent Oh! Just realised, you never showed me the blue people on the telly :D
Well, Skyfall was fun :)

@domwakeling Well, obviously, if I could afford the XL tub, I’d just swim in the stuff.
@Picklechu You must’ve been *really* clean by the end of the day.
@dangusset @thekarleighshow I think for a Pot Noodle you just add monosodium glutamate and stir.
@thekarleighshow Yeah, it’s fab. I just shouldn’t have read the ingredients :)
@KellySibson Nope. Very minimal this morning. Just egg and sausage.
liveindetail @gothick It’s amazing stuff, smells nice and is delicious on a slice of toast
@shleyWard Not recently. I’d try a local tiny hardware store, a bike shop, mail order from Amazon, or a Halfords, in that order :D

@theshinythings I have matching side-plates, mugs and a sugarbowl :D Luckily, Evolution in the Galleries has been selling them for years…
@KaveyF Nope. Am gossip-free zone.

@Mouse_House MOUSEHUG.
@stillawake @hayles Three more hours of high-tension will-it-won’t-it anticipation to go. What a life.
@hayles I’m waiting for a fridge delivery. It’s not as exciting as it sounds.
@DomUtton Part of my new kitchen joy is finally having somewhere to put a proper fridge/freezer. Could only fit under-counter before.
Damn it. Got as far as painting the kitchen door/frame. Probably not sensible to start that until the new fridge turns up…
@RinSimpson No problem.
@RinSimpson …other apps like Bing have decent enough “search for stuff on a map” and are free.
@RinSimpson The Apple maps isn’t great for search, but it’s still okay for directions if you give it an address. Plus…
@RinSimpson (Check your current version by going to Settings App->General->About, and looking for Version.)
@RinSimpson …but includes the new Maps. Your iPhone 3 probably can’t even run it; a new 4, 4S or 5 will come with it by default.
@RinSimpson No, they don’t sell Google Maps. It’s a bit political. iOS 6 is latest operating system for iPhones. It’s nice…
@RinSimpson But apart from that, pretty much everything else should be better/faster/higher quality.
@RinSimpson …you’ll get the new, not-so-good Apple Maps app instead of the Google Maps app.
@RinSimpson Yes, it will be faster. Only downside I can think of is that if you jump up to iOS 6 (which you probably will) then…
@RinSimpson Yes. The 4 or 4S are much better, especially the camera.
@tyronem Oh. I wondered what that clunking noise was.
@BenPark Yeah. I’m like, “Is that the best thing you could think of? Jesus…”

@guriben @stillawake I probably would if I could be arsed. But I can’t.
@stillawake @guriben I think comparing Calibre with chips is terribly unfair on chips.
@guriben @stillawake I’m actually tempted to write my own “do some of the simple things people want to do” UI for the command-line stuff.
@guriben @stillawake The re-deliver/auto-archive will only work as long as Amazon don’t just close your account for no apparent reason :/
@stillawake @guriben …which has possibly the worst user interface of anything I’ve used in the last decade.
@stillawake @guriben There are Ways, all of which are technically illegal, of course. More to the point, I believe they involve Calibre…
