@Bristolvor Do they still have the rug shop in Bookbarn? At least there when you can’t find a rug you’re also in a bookshop.
@daycoder Always confuses me. That and using “waffle” to mean “haver”.
@benohonestly @Ocado Glad I’m not alone at least! Started doing it for me on virtually every page load in the last week.
@oopyoopy @AdultingADHD I find that deliberately planning breaks in the routine works well. If I plan a week off every six weeks, it pre-empts my old problem of sticking a regime until I get too exhausted to do it, crashing out and then not going back to it.
@RecDiffs @siracusa @hotdogsladies I have *never* acted so fast on hearing a single word spoken on a podcast. 🍿 pic.twitter.com/os698Dcegx
Good to see that the new deterrent spikes have been installed at Pennon Rise, where in recent weeks a giant pigeon has been endangering the public. pic.twitter.com/VrdaMWHMHb

@IanMartin No, but you just forced me to spend ten minutes tracking this down via remembering the specific K-Tel album I used to play it on in the 1980s! youtube.com/watch?v=gjjuY5…

@HackedOffHugh Christ, yes. Had to use some of these in Cornwall last week. “Let’s make something completely perfect for a long queue of tourists of varying native languages. Something *really* easy to understand and use…”
@seldo Every now and again I realise that the entire RAM of my first computer couldn’t store four whole tweets.
pilotbeeruk A lot of people ask us why we don’t have a taproom when all the other local breweries do and the answer is that we’ve met the public and don’t particularly care for them.

@JoshDance No, but I do it in Alfred (which also copies the result to the clipboard if you hit return at the end, handily…)
@shezza_t @Scofflawconor Dear Sir, Please send one buttered rum by return of post. I enclose a stamped, self-addressed schooner. Yours etc.
@stillawake I have made pretty good progress on my mile! omm.gothick.org.uk
@tholder Hey, if I have to go early, drowning in a vat of milk punch would definitely be a preferred method.
The more Victorian drinking habits I discover through literature the more convinced I am they had the right idea. Someone fetch me a spiced rum warmed with a poker, and a buttered brandy chaser.

@GuyverRobert There’s a line in Elementary where Sherlock is talking to an architect: “Straight lines hurt you as a child?” Came straight back to me just then…
@MarioGuzman That happening on my phone was one of the many reasons I switched to Spotify. Though the last straw was the music app becoming inaccessible while I was driving because it tried to show me an Apple Music ad while I had no signal.
hannahmerich Half the carriage is lads with tinnies off to Twickenham dressed as nuns, and a group of actual nuns have just got on. More as we have it.
