@canonfd I’m sure I would enjoy it, but I already have a couple of lovely rangefinders, and probably too many cameras in general!
I don’t know much about Lemmy. Though in 2004, I was given his facial hair for a friend’s college assignment. pic.twitter.com/ieSBUtvMnC

Okay. Might actually be time to make a proper leftovers bubble-and-squeaky thing.

@chubbybannister …I once spent half an hour waiting on a train outside Swindon with a direct line of sight to my office window.
@chubbybannister There should be a word for that thing where you’re stuck on public transport within sight of your destination.
.@MsJenAllison My first tweet was boringly prosaic. twitter.com/gothick/status…
@quellist1 …I was mostly there for nostalgia, and able to overlook foibles because _it’s a kids’ film_, which people seem to be missing.
@quellist1 I enjoyed it, and part of that was being able to wash the bitter ashes of The Phantom Menace out of my mouth. But…
@griffinkate Also, some households are so inured to it that they can blithely ignore something I find deafeningly loud and distracting.
@mistymaria ;) One of the differences, certainly!

@stroughtonsmith I don’t own an iPad, but I’d certainly consider a 16GB version to start with.
@invalidname A lot of themes, even pretty good ones, don’t seem designed to be “good parents”. Shame.
@chubbybannister Oops, didn’t see this tweet at the time for some reason. Not sure what the iPlayer delay would be, but I’d guess 10 secs…
@archidave Did someone get you the new Lynx Cordite set for Christmas?
@RedQueenCoder I didn’t, until I’d heard it mentioned in a few episodes of _House_ and looked it up…
Be careful out there, folks. Seem to be quite a few people who got a driving licence in their Christmas cracker.

@LeadHyperion Likewise. Certainly an immense improvement on the last Star Wars film I went to the cinema for.
@libbymiller Cool.
