@BevviW Return returned. It's not too time consuming for me, which is good, but bad, because it makes me think I should be more invested… #
Hit return to return your return to the return office. Your browser will return you to the return page on return from return submission. #
If you are not able to wait for a response, you can log out and return to your return later, to confirm that HMRC has received your return. #
@GarethJBall That's shocking – I hadn't heard about that. So, everything will have to be on-line or at a PO? Or Swansea. #
Yeah, thanks the DVLA. I totally need a list of your offices in alphabetical order. I always decide where to go based on initials. #
A recent listen: The Twilight Sad – At The Burnside http://t.co/UQW6nhvl http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Veronica said that there's no sign saying dogs are not allowed in the play area, but Jesus! We shouldn't need to be told not to shit here! #
I've removed the Budweiser bottles, but I'm not really equipped to clear the animal filth. #
The play area at Halton is an excellent facility. Pity some people don't have the decency not to leave broken bottles & dog shit all over. #
@marieleadbetter You owe me 4.70, @UraGraymalkin 171.70. #
@Pete_Eaton ILYDRMT! We're arriving in Porto on the Wednesday late morning, leave on the Tuesday late morning. Brussels Air. @UraGraymalkin #
A recent listen: The Doors – The WASP [Texas Radio And The Big Beat] – Remaster http://t.co/2KcOCt8z http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Now for The Two Towers. Enjoyed 'Fellowship…' much more last week than when I first saw it so I've been looking forward to it. Also, beer. #
@marieleadbetter I didn't realise you had a bf – does Ian know? #
Boys' height charting: Since last measurement in August, William has grown 4.2cm, Toby 3. Toby was 6cm taller at the same age as Will today. #
@BlueVanMan Crazy. Thought I'd just go into the PO & give them £140 and get a tax disc. Not possible. To Preston with my log book I must go. #
@BlueVanMan If I want to continue to be exempt, I have to prove I'm disabled. If I don't, I have to prove I'm not disabled, in Preston. #
Presumably, this inconsistency is to prevent people fraudulently paying hundreds of pounds for road tax when they should be paying nothing. #
You can register as disabled and tax-exempt at the post office, though. #
Very cross to discover that to switch my car from tax-exempt disabled status I must present myself and the vehicle at the registry office. #
If anyone's in Lancaster, can you pop into Esquire and pick me up a haircut? I can pay you back on Tuesday. Thanks. #
In the Penny Street Bridge. Just for a meal and a few drinks with some work friends, not trying to subjugate it or rule over it in any way. #
@alikichapple Thanks for thinking of me for this one! @MarkRHancock #

"Win the chance to be a Junior Concierge at the new LEGOLAND Resort Hotel!" Thanks, but I'm already in the "pit pony for a summer" raffle. #
As soon as I try to register for so-called eBilling to save 1%, "TECHNICAL FAULT Sorry it looks like something's gone wrong." Yeah, right. #
RT @TimGow: Waitrose with pottymouth (thanks @matthewwatts1): http://t.co/kPjZhzkg #
Sorry, I meant #WhiskyThursdayBreakfast apparently. #
Thought now would be as good a time as any to crack open an Aberlour 16, double cask matured. http://t.co/iDelVnDL #WhiskyWednesday #
The Complete Works of Robert Burns: Containing his Poems, #free #ebooks @gutenberg_org http://t.co/4AP3LpLx #
@marieleadbetter I use RTM and have been for a few years. I don't quite do GTD, but I do use smart lists a lot for context-sensitive tasks. #
Doing some important work on my to do list. Adding things to a to do list is the same as doing them, right? #
@iMacstu Not as awkward as the moment when you can't remember where the toilets are in a pub you've been to loads of times before. #
RT @Rich_Fulcher: If Newt was a historian for Freddie Mac, then I am an entomologist for A & W Root Beer. #
Will everyone just stop out-bidding me on eBay already! #
Do any usable Morecambe chippies do haggis? #
@Pete_Eaton You're in Lancaster!? #

@Pete_Eaton Are you in South America, then? #
A recent listen: Kurt Vile – (shell blues) http://t.co/tS7s99lu http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Flights booked, must eat. #
Right – If I can book some flights I will allow myself a meal and sleep. I suppose they have to be suitable flights, though. #primavera #
On a rare work related note, if you know of any .Net developers interested in a permanent role in the Lancaster area, I have info. PM me. #
iBad frustrating tonight, and I don't even have the excuse I was expecting after Saturday – I've had little muscle pain, bizarrely. #
@marieleadbetter Nice work. I expect I should try and get us there then. #
A recent listen: Youth Lagoon – Afternoon http://t.co/glttX5Tr http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
I don't believe for one second that herbal Nytol works, but I'm going to take some anyway for its placebo properties. #insomnia #

That'll do; request closed. RT @janlbuxton: @jrwi Well it seems @Kisa has himself a new tumblr of Lancastery stuff http://t.co/r7mVWCSM #
@janlbuxton That would appear to be a close enough fit to the brief, thanks. #
Can someone do me a digest of today's tweets of local interest? Ta. #
A recent listen: Phantogram – As Far As I Can See http://t.co/GNeYOV0C http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Ooh, I can walk. Genuinely surprised and greatly relieved. #
A recent listen: Detachments – Mr Disco http://t.co/vngGouam http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Wyndham Block, Ballard Street – Enjoying the nods in Attack the Block. #
Attack the Block. Been looking forward to this. M&S chinese takeaway in the oven. Chinese food, and a bottle of wine. How classy are we? #
Going to watch LOTR with the kids. I'm obviously going to have my Kindle with me for entertainment, don't worry. #
@P9ADV You need a longer wall and about 7 hours over 2 or 3 weeks. Lean forward more. Wear wrist guards. Sit on it when you're watching TV. #
@P9ADV I wouldn't discourage you. Don't you already have enough fun, though!? #
Done. And ouch. predictably, I ended up cycling the full route & will suffer tomorrow. Home for whisky and radox. http://t.co/WT1PQX5w #
@idiotjohnson Don't be ridiculous, some of us are dressed as vicars. #
Warning: Unicycle boats operate in this area. http://t.co/i2UfnX93 #
At Woodie's, awaiting 3 unicyclists I've never met before. Stranger danger! #
@UraGraymalkin I may well bail at Morecambe, otherwise I won't be able to walk on Monday, let alone play badminton. #
@UraGraymalkin Circular from Crook o' Lune – cycle path to aqueduct, canal to Hest Bank, promenade, cycle path from Morecambe to the Crook. #
I'm pretty sure I *shouldn't* do the full 15 miles, though, even if I *can*, which is unknown. The most I've done before is about 6 miles. #
Lined up for a 15 mile unicycle ride around Lancaster & Morecambe tomorrow with some actual, properly real, existing, other riders. I know! #

@Girlonatrain Wow, what a culture! I'm off to bed, via punching my kids in the head to encourage them to not jack, the c*n*s. #
RT @markinreading: No, give Las Malvinas to Scotland. #bbcqt #
@Girlonatrain Have you been interviewing my lads? How much of this thing is dramatization, how much doco? Fred *Butcher*? A likely story? #
@Girlonatrain Heart of gold. Mind you, she was a legend, what's not to love? #
RT @BillQuango: @markinreading That is miliband's latest plan isn't it? "Fairness for everyone for everything" Like a Toddler's charter. #
@Girlonatrain No confusion, life is telly. I had sons purely for backup in all the violent incidents I attract. That's life. #
RT @follyofyouth: Cosmic country-psyche-rock in a folk pub from 9 piece @dhnewhawks http://t.co/PmOL6S04 #

Just some words of wisdom from a spam email. Made more sense than many of the legitimate emails I received today. #
Resumed the roof of doors and wine
Whether you cannot help of character
They went so much interested #
@marieleadbetter Yes, I see no reason to delay, and many reasons to get this sorry episode behind us. #
@marieleadbetter The people who've invested $17m in the company probably wouldn't be very happy if it were dodgy. Unless they're the Mafia. #
@marieleadbetter It does look good, although the location isn't as good as the other one. #
@marieleadbetter Fuckit, fuckit, fuckit, fuckit. How much more expensive?! #
@marieleadbetter Hmm, Manchester would be more convenient, albeit an *early* start. #
@marieleadbetter I was, but there's nothing suitable involving Lisbon for our dates – either more expensive or stupidly early flights back. #
@marieleadbetter @uragraymalkin God, I'm bored with this planning. You booked the apartment, yet? http://t.co/lQR4Rnwf #
@Pete_Eaton You can do it with Spotify, and so probably other apps too. Why not iTunes? I can tolerate it for iPod use. #
…but I don't know he saw the incident. I was parking my car, btw, I wasn't just out with my scraper scraping things. Anyway, posted a note #
Lightly scraped the bumper of my surly neighbour, whom I haven't exchanged more than 2 words with in 6 years. Fairly sure he was watching… #

@Yorkie71 @Kisa (I'm not hard.) #
@Yorkie71 @Kisa I've been in shorts today. Seriously. Only because I didn't get 'round to changing after my Muni ride earlier. And I'm hard. #
@marieleadbetter It's a staple in Heston's recipes – http://t.co/RRUMFBcF #
@marieleadbetter Did you contract norovirus? #
@Pete_Eaton Yes, someone else has recommended that route, sounds fun, going to look into Lisboa flights. #
@marieleadbetter @dartogreen Could do, but if it were Liverpool we'd drive. Like the Lisbon and train to Oporto idea, going to look at that #
@dartogreen Yes, the alternative is more expensive, but had better times and less UK travel. Not perfect by any means. #
@dartogreen Sounds sensible, plus bonus rail journey through Portugal Will investigate. #
@Pete_Eaton …not booked anything yet, though. You got any flight tips? The travel is a real PITA. #
@dartogreen Initial: Ryanair Stansted – Porto. Alternative: EasyJet/RyanAir combo, Liverpool-Madrid-Porto. #
@Pete_Eaton Looks like we'll rent an apartment – there's the 3 of us now, down from the 15 who originally reckoned they'd go. 6th – 12th. #
@dartogreen Not as such, but I have offered an alternative to @marieleadbetter's initial suggestion. We really need to get something sorted! #
Where DOES the weekend go?! I never did get around to tidying (all of) my room(s), tsk! Too tired after battling with RyanAir to do any more #
A recent listen: Scroobius Pip – Let 'Em Come http://t.co/F1zE9gIn http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Form a queue RT @jonesyb: If you have done this: http://t.co/ZpqKLPIK, or this: http://t.co/h3iaQuTD I probably dislike you as a human being #
@dartogreen Hey! These are austere times, stop rubbing @idiotjohnson's nose in your band's A-ness. #lastfm #
Last ep of Treme season one, then. Hoping it matches up to the very high standards set by Costner's deft direction of Robin Hood. #
@SharonMcG1971 Yeah, we weren't happy with the high incidence of out-of-place accents either. #peskyhistoricaldetails #
@DHNewHawks I can't get enough of him. The film reeks of Islamophobia. Casting Christian Slater as the Scarlet Pimpernel is the last insult. #
Toby's less than impressed with Costner's Hood, finding him to be morally lightweight, with vengeful tendencies. Not like 'his' Robin. #
@alikichapple You should have done. #
@DHNewHawks Ace, can you pop round here and turn this film off for me? #
@alikichapple Yes, I'm enjoying that all of the castles and fortifications are very clearly 800 years old. D'oh! #
@alikichapple Good grief, is that your idea of tactful?! I'd have been quite upset if it really was my favourite film. #
@alikichapple That's generous. It's like a case study of ham. #
Watching Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Still every bit as good as it was the day it was released. #
@idiotjohnson I've been reading A Milne and listening to C/DC, too. #bloodyhilarious #

@idiotjohnson I was about to, but was too busy being knocked-out the awesome RED Altocumulus undulatus display. Then it went dark & I forgot #
@Pete_Eaton These are interesting. I think they're Stratocumulus virga, or possibly Altocumulus virga (depending on altitude) #cloudspotting #

@marieleadbetter That could definitely work for me, afternoon or evening should be fine. #
Bored with flight finding, off for pizza and telly. #
@marieleadbetter Soon. Could probably do Friday night or Sunday. Who are the playahs? #
@marieleadbetter We really do. Just getting there is looking complicated, especially since I don't even know when we need to be there. Meet? #

Dexter, S4E06. #
@marieleadbetter Whereabouts were you, was your shot Central Morecambe? Had you cycled down the cycle path? #
@Pete_Eaton Could have got an amazing shot with your camera. Camera phone is great for snaps, but doesn't do the depth of colour justice. #
It got better. Heysham #sunset http://t.co/jvlr7mk4 It's gone now, though. #
Came down to Heysham to make use of the promenade furniture for a little trials riding. Plus, look at the view! http://t.co/lVYx3Uxs #
@marieleadbetter @Girlonatrain @dartogreen I'm not generally buttphobic, just that, well, I ass-umed who's it would have been in that tweet. #
@Girlonatrain @dartogreen What were the odds?! You have indoor trousers, I have a door in my trousers, @idiotjohnson's adorable in trousers. #
@marieleadbetter Awww, cute! Feeling better now, can't believe I killed myself over something you *didn't* say. Don't not say it again. #
@marieleadbetter Not for me, I'm blissfully dead. #
@marieleadbetter Because of font-fuckery/eye-shittery, I thought you said, "I have a bum on my finger", and I'm now going to kill myself. #
@CptCheerful I've got some cans of Boddington's that some idiot brought round in 2003. Do they count? Hardly what you'd call ale. Or beer… #
@natwallbank Will do some googling against the router model and this problem, and dig out a switch! #
@natwallbank Not for any internal traffic, and the external rules haven't changed. All of the rules are at gateway level, not ethernet port. #
@natwallbank You'd think. I've no idea what happened, though. Working last week & there are no port-specific admin settings in the router. #
@natwallbank Cracked it! I don't know why, but the problem was the specific port on the router. Only 1 of the 4 now allows browsing. Wtf!? #
So, riddle me this… WTF? How can the ports be broken in such a way that you can connect, get an IP, ping, but not browse http? #linksys #
After spending several more hours on the http problem, I cracked it. 3 of the 4 ethernet ports on the router are affected, the fourth works. #
@ToykoJazzPanda It's allegorical hair? #
The kids are Toby and Will, the beer is Spitfire, from Shepard Neame. Indian snacks in the oven. #princecaspianaccessories #
Quite like it though… It's probably better watched sat with your kids and drinking beer, but that's no criticism. #
Finally watching Prince Caspian. It seems to be missing some internal logic. Even so, not really getting 'Christian Allegory' from this one. #
@marieleadbetter Yes and yes. #lambchop #
@mrkchmbrs Also, I know people in my family have used the guy on Yorkshire Street in Morecambe and were pleased, again, not used him myself. #
@mrkchmbrs Ubertechs have a great reputation, though I've never used them personally – http://t.co/LHwWwGA4 You might even follow @mcdent! #
A recent listen: AA Bondy – Scened From A Circus http://t.co/Jax1O4S7 http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Was going to sleep, but I've stumbled on an AA Bondy album I'd carelessly missed last year. So, I'm listening to it. Did I need to say that? #
Okay, following a short break for, er, Xmas, or something, back to Treme: S1E09. Love this show. #

Has anyone got a 2012 calendar mouse mat they don't want? I usually get some from suppliers & find one quite useful. Will swap for 2011. #
@natwallbank Ah, no, I haven't. That's a good idea, been trying to think of a way to ensure there was no silly S/W blocking. Will try later. #
@idiotjohnson Good call. I spent time at the start checking different cable/port/device combinations, and it's deffo the PC/NIC. #
Off to Kendal for William's ophthalmology appointment with Mr B J R Moate or a member of the clinical team. #
@mrkchmbrs The live USB didn't work, as I couldn't get on the network *at all*. Didn't have enough time to work out why not last night. #
@mrkchmbrs Toying with the idea of installing a hyperviser & going VM, but dual boot more likely. I'll leave the old windoze disk in place. #
@christiancable Other browsers give the same result (ie, ff, chrome), telnet gives me the same 'timed-out' html as the browser receives. #
Ah, who needs the web anyway? #
@facey Ya, I'm going to educate the family to use Linux, they're the only reason I have a Win PC at all. #
@facey It is Windoze, so Curl gives me nada, even with -l #
@idiotjohnson It doesn't even think there *are* web servers… #
@facey I get the HTML for The Server Timed Out… #
A recent listen: New Order – Leave Me Alone http://t.co/FyMNPWN2 http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
@facey Don't think so – I can ping using FQDNs, and browse from elsewhere on the network using the same gateway (and so DNS server). #
@natwallbank I did have a virus scanner on, but still no joy with it disabled. Also tried some https, and still timing out. #
Right, tea, then I'm going to dig out that live linux stick, after I've chucked a packet sniffer on, see if that gives any clues… #
@natwallbank Internally they're on 80. I could try changing that and see if it helps. #
@mrkchmbrs @natwallbank No _specified_ proxy settings, that's right. None of this has changed recently, so I'm baffled. Virus? #
@natwallbank No browsing anywhere, internally or externally – browsing to the router admin from my netbook, but not possible from the PC. #
Planning to install a new OS on this new PC in the next day or so when my new disk arrives anyway. #new #probablyubuntu #
Alright, I'm going to see if I can dig out a Liniux live USB stick I know I've got lying around somewhere, see if I can browse from that… #
OK, so FTP is working and I can connect to both internal and external FTP servers. This has to be software rather than hardware, right? #
@natwallbank No proxy settings for the web at all, FW disabled. No browser works! I can FTP to other devices on the LAN, but not browse… #
Gonna check for firewall weirdness now, but it still didn't work when I'd disabled the FW last night… #
Seriously though – The PC has an IP, can ping other internal and external IPs and FQDNs, can be pinged internally, but can't load www – wtf? #
Peppers stuffed, hidden functionality on the Humax guide discovered, now off to do more network wrangling and electronics thumping. #
@Yorkie71 IP. Yes, extremely odd and frustrating. It's not a firewall killing the browsers either, as far as I can tell. Need longer on it. #
Off to bed. Maybe some elves will come and fix everything in the night if I leave some food out for them. #
Very, very annoyed. #
Now the PC is playing up. Thought it was the router, but it seems to be the network card. I can ping sites successfully, but not browse them #
It's really shit at origami. #
All of my technology is dying. The fan in the NAS has gone down, meaning the NAS has gone down, and the printer is now attempting origami. #
Well, straight out after work for a couple of hours iBad sounded like fun, but turned out to be mostly frustrating. #

Went for a 'cycle down Morecambe prom with the boys this aft. Bare to Heysham. They didn't stop whining once. http://t.co/LLbjrYqc #
@timdifford I think a popular Twitter character has been killed off and replaced. But the user is not verified, so I'm treating with caution #
Marie Leadbetter (@marieleadbetter) is now following you on Twitter! <== Pardon?! #
@marieleadbetter Certainly am. Not sure of the practical benefits, but they sure amuse the boys. #
A drop of lovely port as an aperitif, contravening the serving suggestion. Nor will I decant. Thanks @kjcos999! http://t.co/eUNTBis0 #
@Dan_Whittaker_ Duh! How do you make out cheques on a typewriter, smart arse?! Not such a luddite now, am I? #
@Dan_Whittaker_ All the best. Now get to bed. #
Totally looking forward to the first time I write the date as 2011 and onlookers are all like, "Dude, wtf?! It's 2012 already! Year wanker!" #
RT @bermans: Also, that Jools Holland line-up is a disgrace to humanity!!!! Snipers, please! Stick some decent tunes on your stereo instead! #
@Girlonatrain I don't much like any of them in this adaptation – Lucy and Edmund are the better examples, though. #
Watching The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Warned Toby not to throw in his lot with the White Witch, like Edmond does. The dick. #
Very nice finish, though. RT @Pete_Eaton: 365/365 At Last! 365 was the Worst.Idea.Ever. http://t.co/OMHL7g6f #
@Pete_Eaton @UraGraymalkin Yes indeed. I suppose one could try to work around it with a proxy or something. May have a look later… #
@SharonMcG1971 @UraGraymalkin @pete_eaton It is cruel and perverse – really unlike Amazon to make it hard to spend cash with them. #
Well, me and all my family received a minimum of a knighthood in the New Year honours list, because we're well skill and totally deserve it. #
