11:31 twitpic.com/mpu15 – At William’s party, with extra pirates. How many kids can I cause to be injured/sick through over-excitement? #

12:12 RT @jeremylimb: Bit worried: was just at a funeral and I caught the wreath #

12:25 The problem with kid’s parties is that the parents just don’t know each other and are forced to reference one another via their kids. #

12:26 That’s what Megan’s mum says, anyway. #

12:28 The best things about these kid’s parties are the egg sandwiches and mine-sweeping ice-cream and jelly. #

12:35 twitpic.com/mpy9p – See? Kids *never* eat jelly and ice-cream. It’s on Snopes. #

19:11 @mcdent Natural History Museum would be a winner for my two, even at their age. RAF museum, maybe? Both free, too, and well linked. #

19:14 Following the furore over #bbcqt, you really should read this piece from Chicken Yoghurt. bit.ly/4CoDQW #CarCrashQT #

19:10 OK, who broke the Lancaster traffic, and good? #

07:53 Do they even have churches in other lands? #

08:12 @campdave Oh arse, saw Pitchfork tweet it last night but was hopeful++ when the NME did so. Gonna have to sort this voda/nokia web fail! #

08:13 Andrew Bird church tour news RT @campdave: @jrwi US Churches I’m afraid #

08:26 @mamajunkyard Blimey, does busy=good? How was it when you were seated, I’m going on Tuesday, any recommendations? #

08:28 @mamajunkyard Hello again – #bbcqt is the main one folk use. #

08:53 @mamajunkyard Why? Who’s on!? No, I did wonder about a special tag, haven’t seen one in use except #BoycottQT! How about #CarCrashQT? #

22:16 Look, if you really want to ask a fat racist a question, just tweet @jabe666 #bbcqt #CarCrashQT #

22:54 Great point from Bonnie Greer about how the BNP should fear the change in their constitution, as s/one pointed out to me. #CarCrashQT #bbcqt #

23:00 RT @daraobriain: Griffin is being handed his own arse at the moment, but just wait until the musical improvisation round. #bbcqt #CarCrashQT #

23:09 "This is not a race debate" – WARSI. With GRIFFIN nodding furiously in the background… #CarCrashQT #bbcqt #

23:10 OMG, it’s Terry Gilliam in the audience #bbcqt #

23:12 Slimy arms – nicely slipped in from that questioner… #bbcqt #

23:25 RT @SatansPuppet: #bbcqt hooray.. none of the systems are working!! #

23:27 DIMBLEBY – "I didn’t want the whole programme to be about the BNP" – You’re the only one, then. #bbcqt #CarCrashQT #

23:30 RT @Glinner: Get Jan Moir on next week! #bbcqt #

23:33 @mamajunkyard They’re in schools trying to convert kids, apparently. #bbcqt #

19:23 Watching the Nick G interview on C4 news. Jon Snow must be angry, he can barely get his words out. #

20:11 @UraGraymalkin Did that help you get an offer or at least a sniff of the next stage? #

20:22 twitpic.com/m9pmi – Pretty black nimbostratus. #cloudspotting #

20:27 @Globeoffrogs I find it amusing that he’s been invited on so C4 can get on the Question Time band wagon, but they then failed to nail him. #

21:06 @UraGraymalkin Couple of days early for the feast, though… #

22:27 A recent listen: The Duke Spirit – You Really Wake Up The Love In Me bit.ly/lx74M bit.ly/jrwifm #

22:36 Watching the brilliant Grass via LoveFilm and @CollingsA and Simon Day. No, not The Green, Green Grass, that’s too funny for weekdays. #

22:43 What happened to Simon Day? I haven’t seen him in anything for ages, maybe since Grass, even. #

22:50 RT @serafinowicz: Scabbard (n): A strike-breaking poet <<< Nice! Get this guy on ISIHAC, immediately! #

10:45 @markatwindsor Dan Snow seems to be @thehistoryguy, picked him up on an ‘andrew marr’ search where mentions the show. #

11:25 The final instalment from the gig last Thursday – @iLiKETRAiNS showing off their relentlessly cheerful new direction flic.kr/p/787TND #

12:06 @UraGraymalkin Moving images are so 20thC. By 2012, most bands will release a 6 picture slideshow of *another* group w/their songs. #

14:50 In Morecambe Apollo. About to see ‘Up’. It had better be good. At least I have Jelly Babies for consolation if not. #

17:05 The Jelly Babies were amazing. flic.kr/p/78q9HT #

17:57 @Dan_Whittaker_ And how was the football? #

18:04 @iMacstu Usual high Pixar standard: Some very funny squirrel material, exciting chase sequences. Nobody cried, but I can see why some would. #

20:27 Blimey, why did nobody think to mention how good The Shins are? Listened to ‘Chutes Too Narrow’ in ASDA, stayed much longer than necessary. #

21:03 A recent listen: The Shins – A Comet Appears bit.ly/2h3Wid bit.ly/jrwifm #

21:19 @UraGraymalkin Just ‘Chutes…’ on the most penrecent disc, on which I’ve barely started. Haven’t even looked at the most recent. #

23:17 Should be doing some reading for work and catching some zzzzzzs, but, frell it, I’m watching True Blood and having a drink. #

20:15 I enjoyed Swimming, but, as predicted, they’re not *quite* as compelling on record. Good, though.Try this: song.ly/245uu Panthalassa #

21:06 @UraGraymalkin I notice there’s some x-posting of Swimming links going on. I should have checked my timeline… Found some on spotify btw… #

21:11 I’m – bizarrely – in the Sun with mrs @jrwi. Must keep reminding myself not to just stagger off for a curry without her. #
