@Indiechops Thanks :)
Wow. Think I’ve caught up on processing my holiday photos. Might be time for dinner.
This rather sums up why I went to Islay on my hols. Well, apart from the whisky, anyway. flickr.com/photos/matt_gi…

@chris_j_hughes Really? When I was in London, that was the Watford Gap, not actual Watford.
Mick Jagger, ladies and gents, a man clearly still fitter at 69 than I have been at any point in my life so far.
@benjohnbarnes I’d like to claim it was a lot of work for me, but thanks to @AthanSpod, it really wasn’t.
@bexxi I don’t know. Given that this terrace went up in 1760-something, the walls are thick enough I don’t normally notice them…
@skinsrocks Should be back now!
Wow. I’ve lived here since 1999 and next door are playing the loudest music I’ve heard through the walls in all that time…
@skinsrocks Ooops, no, that’s because it’s broken now. Ta! On it…
@chris_j_hughes Really? Seemed a bloody long way away when I lived in London…
@Phooto Ta.

@hayles @OpinionatedGeek @rbrwr @Kavey Technically, you would have won a picture of a dog, if your DNS was out of date…
Thank you for the testing, everyone.
@skeddy Ta :)
@emmafurious Ta!
@OpinionatedGeek @rbrwr @Kavey @hayles Thanks all!
Quick test please, people. If you visit forum.splendid-things.co.uk do you see (a) the Get Running forums, or (b) a dog? Thanks!
@Bristol52 Something from the Kryptonite New York range, I’d say.
@BenPark Worth $5 for the stock photo even if it’s only me who ever sees it, frankly :D
@AthanSpod Sounds like lunchtime to me :)

@shezza_t I’m frowning on some pork right now. Doesn’t seem to be getting it cooked, though.
@shezza_t “Man shall not lie with man, as with woman, for it is just the same as snogging gigantic insects.” That’s right, isn’t it?
@domwakeling …but I’m just thinking “Arduinos! In! Space!” and enjoying the coolness-factor, I must confess.
@domwakeling Weird space-going confetti is a pretty good description. Alternative approach has some benefits, eg cover much wider area…
@hayles Hey, at least he knew where the depot was…
@charlesarthur I think that’s a net win. And at least they’re biodegradable.

@njj4 I think Google decided that they’d rather everyone used Google+, even though it seems to solve a different problem.
@BangsandaBun That sounds pretty damn lush to me, and I don’t even have sunburn…
@Adamy323 :)
@ahnlak Also, I’m pretty confident I could make money from a sponsored RSS feed read by that many geeks.
@ahnlak Strange, though, to do it from 2008 to 2013, and stop just when Reader dies…
@ahnlak I mean they killed having the comic embedded in the RSS. I think that’s how it was before, in 2008.
@stillawake Well, *before* they put the feed up, someone else had knocked up a feed from the site by hand anyway. I give it a week…
@Catreia *Applause*
@Catreia Whoooooooo! :D
Damn it. Dilbert.com killed its RSS feed. I remember the joy when they started RSS feeding the comics in the first place…

@says_arline Mile, even.
@says_arline Yeah, pretty good location and only about a mild from me, too.
@Kavey @says_arline Think it was Number 38 Clifton? Belgrave Road.
@says_arline But there’s none I’d actively avoid. Definitely choose one in town, is all; so much good walking-distance stuff in Bristol.
@says_arline @Kavey may be able to help; think she did some hotel research for last stay or two…
@says_arline Hello! I don’t know much about Bristol hotels, annoyingly. Ibis is city centre, right? Which is good…

@garymarshall Hah! I hadn’t heard of them. They’re a bugger to Google for, though, so it’s got its down sides :)
@garymarshall Makes sense. I’m going to start a band called “_” and see if they make it to #1 by default.
