I must be really ill if I can’t spell “psychosomatically”. It’ll just be easier.

via Echofon

What the hell was that?

via Echofon

Hrm. Am I feeling psychsomatically rough because I’ve been hanging out with ill people, or am I actually ill?

via Echofon

@paul_clarke I just Googled D60 to find out what the hell it was. Google helpfully provide lots of 60D results.

via Echofon in reply to paul_clarke

So glad we decided to switch off _Step Brothers_ as soon as we figured out it was shit, and watched _Parked_ instead last night.

When my parents bought me a ZX81, I apparently started down an inevitable path that led to watching a supermarket wave at a train on Twitter
