@DrHairbear @Mathobal Eeeees soooooo niiiiiiice.
@rabidbee …at least a year in advance.
@rabidbee Islay is bloody lovely. Sure it’s lovely whether there’s a whisky festival or not, but if you want festival, needs booking…

@Lillput Booked! Thanks :)
This @innisandgunnUK is really rather lovely. Moving on in search of a slightly more local beer, though…
@chubbybannister …but such are the trials of dropping into a big city without doing enough research :)
@chubbybannister It’s really nice! Just expected to have an easier time finding a local beer from closer than Edinburgh!
@SpikyZebra Ta! Seem to have found myself in Generic High Street UK. Attempting escape velocity… :D
Settled for a place called the Drum & Monkey. Nice enough place, but nothing local on tap. Trying a..instagram.com/p/ZqE_HdpC13/Ps

@Kavey Let me know if you want me to meet you when you get in. Just checked into hotel.
@Indiechops Well, it’s definitely the smell of the seaside :)
@LaphroaigWhisky @Kavey Hurrah! Found my certificate :)
Someone’s not in for a great time. Just spotted a solitary toothbrush on the baggage reclaim carousel…
@emmafurious Hope you’re feeling better. X
@Kavey I took the high road, and have got here afore ye :)
@hatsandbikes Just have to look when I get back to a desktop, I guess. Ta for trying!
@hatsandbikes Can’t see it. It pops up a survey box in front that jumps around when I scroll so I can’t dismiss! pic.twitter.com/r4GM8DdnSZ
@hatsandbikes …maze of download links to PDFs.
@hatsandbikes Is there anywhere I can get to see specific proposals for an area (Hotwells)? Am on phone at mo and council site seems…
@hatsandbikes If I weren’t on Twitter I doubt I’d know anything about the #RPZ. Still don’t know much as it is. Hrm.
Someone is trying to sell me something with non-ironic use of the word “synergy”.

@Mouse_House Moti, on Whiteladies Road.
@Mouse_House Yeah. Easy Runner, I think. Not been there, but heard good things about them.
@kurrik A revocation wake? Good name for a band, anyway.
@Mouse_House *crosses fingers*
@Mouse_House I’ve hardly ever had blisters. Good running socks, and shoes fitted by a decent shop go a long way to help.
@Mouse_House …though whether it’s something you’ll really end up liking in the end.
@Mouse_House I found that it took me a fair chunk of practice before I really started enjoying it more often than not. Hard to tell…
@Mouse_House I think it was worth it in the end.
@Mouse_House Motivation’s a toughie. I pretty much only do exercise I (mostly) enjoy. It took me a while to enjoy running, but…
@Mouse_House Hope you feel less broken soon, Mouse. (Damn, I love long baths but if I do them in the evening, I just can’t sleep…)
@julienbob Ah! Looks interesting. Might try that next time I just need a cab, rather than doing an advance booking.
@chubbybannister I shall bear that in mind.
@bertpalmer @sean_robbins @Pockless @Bristol_Talk @sstarr @fishtankteam Thanks all :)
Thanks all. Turns out that V Cars (two recommendations) has same number as the old reliable firm I always used to use. Going with them.
@says_arline Should be. Not sure about coming there; just kicking off a three-month contract, I think!
@Pockless They used to be Swiftline, I think. Remember number from first driver I had telling me “Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Boxing Day…”
@Pockless Interesting! That’s the same phone number as the old firm I used to use on the Hotwell Road.
What’s a good taxi firm in Bristol, then?
TlfTravelAlerts We thought everyone knew it was pronounced ‘Joodge Street’…
@liveindetail I might have to do that too. Accidentally.
@paul_a_young You’re probably one of the few people on the planet where “eat some chocolate” isn’t a good solution for that problem.
@skeddy Ah, gotcha. I was lucky enough to be grandfathered in to recurring pro sub, so I’ll be paying the same (and not seeing ads…)
@skeddy Seems to be back up now. You were going to downgrade?
Hrm. Flickr seems to be dead. *pokes with a stick*

@AlexHamlin PS: Hadn’t noticed you were a whisky lover, too. I’m off to Islay for a week soon :D
@AlexHamlin Oh, gosh! Sorry I didn’t spot you. Feel free to say hi next time! Yes, it was a good one, wasn’t it?
@Kavey Good good, I did start wondering if I’d cocked up. Not that an extra night in Glasgow would be a terrible outcome :D
On the other hand, the cocktails *were* very good. And I don’t have to do anything taxing today :D
Lovely meal in Kohi Noor last night. Possibly shouldn’t have followed it with cocktails, though. *Shakes head wanly*
@Kavey Just realised that as that last tweet wasn’t a DM, it might be more sensible if I just include @ahnlak in the reply :D
@Kavey Can Pete please forward me the hotel confirmations, if easy? I use TripIt; if I forward it to them it’ll add details automatically.

@Kavey Arsebiscuits. Will be in all morning.
Right. Dumbness confirmed. But at least I had a nice walk and the problem is now solved.

@tyronem Given the thought I just had, I think I need to revise my estimate of personal dumbness upwards quite heavily…
Foreboding. instagram.com/p/ZYG_qKJC8E/
.@tyronem 50% chance that the walk clears my head enough that I realise what really dumb mistake I’ve made, too…
Reached that point in programming where the best idea is to go for walk and hope someone answers my Stack Overflow question in the meantime.
