20:41 Just returned to TweetDeck on my netbook and found a part-constructed tweet: "@facey Don’t worry if you didn’t " Maybe it *was* complete… #

20:43 RT (sort of) Pete Eaton: The Gervais Principle – Have you seen this? It’s good. bit.ly/WcmwS #

20:46 @UraGraymalkin @Dan_Whittaker_ What time will you finish work? What time do we need to be in Manc? What time the door? WHAT TIME? #

21:28 @UraGraymalkin Just remebered, will there be a mix tape for the trip as is traditional? #

21:45 @UraGraymalkin Oh yes, I have a vague notion. It’s pick you up from work, go to m/c, eat food, watch bands, drive home. Good, eh? #

17:35 Here’s one in the eye for all detractors of my practical aptitude and domestic credentials – It’s Sunday afternoon and I just fixed a door. #

17:36 IN YOUR FACE MISTER DUNFORD! #

20:28 Ah, one of my detractors speaks – RT @kjcos999: @jrwi Does it still open and close like a door? #

20:29 .@kjcos999 (checks) Well, you can still get through the big oblong hole in the wall. OMG! It’s not a door anymore, IT’S AJAR! A JAR, see? #

00:29 Travelled to Portugal last year to see Editors play at the Colisseu in Porto, yet I can’t be arsed to watch them now on C4. Touring muppets. #

00:31 @BeanPhoto I can’t see any lights or projections looking toward Lancaster from Torrisholme, but I now have wet hair. #

00:33 That’s touring *millionaire* muppets, of course. #

09:30 At last, my powers are manifesting! Last night I dreamt that it was foggy; now look outside and fear me! #

09:48 I also dreamt that one of my molars crumbled away to reveal an intricate metal structure, which I assumed had been implanted by aliens. #

09:56 Article and interview with David Simon about Generation Kill and (actually mostly) the Wire – Times Online bit.ly/ciuCb #gk #

00:12 @Girlonatrain Yes, they do the nothing and the talking sooo well. I’ll save them. I’m not short of things to do in the meantime! #

19:12 Just driven past McDonalds, #Morecambe. It’s in darkness. People are sat inside regardless. The burgers are *that* good. #

19:19 #unfollowfriday A twitter clear-out is in order. Following far too many. If you’re reading this, it won’t be you. May do a #followfriday too #

19:23 @NeilOughton Seems likely, only seems to be McD’s affected though. Wish I’d been able to photograph: Surreal with ppl queueing in darkness! #

19:35 Oops, tweet deck #fail – no updates since 1am. Whatever. #

19:37 Tweeting fixed it, apparently. #

19:57 Poor Toby’s got earache and is in quite a bit of pain judging by the wailing noise he’s emitting. We’ve given him kiddie drugs. #

20:09 Just loaded House S5! Cool, but the trailers are awful, and one MUST watch them EVERYTIME-no skipping to the menu, suckers. I paid for this? #

20:12 House has just sent FOUR, yes FOUR, count them, talented physicians to administer just ONE vit b12 injection. Brilliant! #

20:13 I’m going to shut up now and drink my beer and watch House. #

22:16 RT @markinreading: Watch "Hislop’s Gaffe" bit.ly/eK3F2 as you oil your thighs for tonight’s #bbcqt #

22:22 Received some interesting things in the post today. Are the Royal Mail trying to get me onside before the industrial action? #

22:24 Interesting thing #1: A letter from NPI asking me to verify my address. It seems they’ve been hunting me years, probably an old pension… #

22:44 @Girlonatrain but is it Generation Kill or The Wire? #

22:56 @Girlonatrain I haven’t watched it yet – I’m debating saving them up so I don’t have the MORE problem, but it might prove too hard to resist #

23:07 RT @bbcquestiontime: How can Osborne say "we’re all in this together" when he’s heir to a fortune? #bbcqt #

23:18 It’s National Poetry Day and this just won the Forward Poetry prize bit.ly/aZ3bm so I ordered it! bit.ly/3ypx4S #

23:28 OK, thing #1 maybe wasn’t so interesting. Thing #2, though, was my I LIKE TRAINS order: Sea Of Regrets bit.ly/RTkSr plus a T shirt! #

23:30 Interesting thing #3 was probably the best, coz I’d forgotten ordering it: The new Mountain Goats from @roughtradeshops bit.ly/4pe4Y2 #

23:33 …plus #3 included a Rough Trade bag for life to add to my burgeoning music related BFL collection! bit.ly/dN58j #

23:05 Looking forward to Generation Kill (C4, 23:20), but can’t watch live so I’ll have to save the @Generation_Kill jargon busting tweets. #gk #

23:23 Since difficultJet cxld our flight home from the ‘dam I’ve had to go with BMI at EUR159.75 for 3. Seats are an ‘optional’ extra. Tossers. #

23:27 RT @marshamusic: This is unspeakably wonderful – The Invisible Man – No trick photography. No photoshop. Just paint. bit.ly/aOgZg #

23:40 Finally found Will’s birth certificate. I knew I’d put it in a safe place. Sorry @idiotjohnson, your Oyster card wasn’t there. #

23:44 @UraGraymalkin Re: iLT: Gig – whatever; Single – did you receive a hard copy in the postal post? I haven’t got mine yet. #

23:49 @facey Marketing bollox. Advertise fare, in ‘optional extras’ charge extra for seats but claim a *saving* b/c you didn’t pay for leg room. #

23:55 @facey The problem with twitter is there isn’t space for enough swearing. That last tweet needed more profanity. BMI? Bollocks Minge iTunes. #

22:38 @UraGraymalkin I called earlier. I’ll book it tomorrow, call if you want to discuss. It’ll probably not be available, or cost a £1000 ah! #

23:54 Sorry, but the @lastfm ‘shoutbox’ system is really flawed. People leave me ‘shouts’ but it’s not easy to acknowledge them or reply… #

23:30 @campdave Lovefilm are OK, seem to have a wide stock and turnaround is pretty quick. Good service, I suppose. TV licence is cheaper, though! #
