11:08 Just been listening to the Tapes ‘n Tapes album. Very good. Can you hear Bunnymen in there? #
22:31 Glee! Just as I was leaving work, my boss called. They’ve been planning a practice for the company telephone cascade and this was the night! #
22:34 Result: 7 puzzled colleagues and a very late finish. Unpacking can wait until Saturday… #
22:50 @TheWineyard Two Sorkin films worth checking out: Proto-West-Wing The American President and Afghan invasion related Charlie Wilson’s War. #

00:23 Home. Off to peep at my slumbering boys. #
15:38 A recent listen: Luke Haines – Fag Break bit.ly/3Q3Spd bit.ly/jrwifm #
23:16 Back from a distressingly poor Badminton match against Kirkby Lonsdale ‘B’, too tired after the weekend is my excuse. Lost 13-5. Shocker! #
23:20 Going to cheer myself up by dosing up on Sudofed, watching #TTOI and deferring post-Amsterdam unpacking and assimilation until tomorrow. #
23:41 Mannion: "So. What are you saying? It’s wrong to send your child to a comprehensive?" Smith: "Yeah, wrong. Or at least very, very careless". #

20:14 Me too. The extra 1:40 on a coach is not pleasing –> RT @UraGraymalkin: Have arrived back in Blighty – but in Nottingham, not Manchester. #
20:59 Coach currently passing sheffield, last train to #Lancaster from Manchester at 10. May have to live out my days in M/C. Thanks a lot BMI. #
21:30 @jabe666 GPS plus google reckons 20 mins to M/C, so it’s close… Gonna be tired at work tomorrow. #
22:51 @Dan_Whittaker_ I bet if you touch Ian in the right way he’ll tweet you. I’m now very distracted. Love you xxx #
Sun 15 Nov 2009
09:34 On my way to Liverpool airport. Lucky I got my Dad to give me a lift so I wouldn’t have to set off at 09:30. #
10:18 Having a frustrating argument about Premium Bonds and the benefits of contiguous numbers. Apparently, more likely to win. Screw you, maths! #
11:28 @Dan_Whittaker_ I’m hiding from you! Tee-hee. #
21:24 Top 3 weekly #lastfm artists: Grandaddy – 40. iLiKETRAiNS – 38. Great Lake Swimmers – 31. bit.ly/fewIS #

00:56 So. Back from the bar following a ‘productive’ day of mgmt meetings nr Windermere. Listening to God is an Astronaut and reading Anne Frank #
00:59 Note that, despite writing ‘productive’ in ironic form in my last tweet, it actually has been productive. I just can’t help myself… #
01:04 Really should take the opportunity and get up early and walk around near natural objects, like lakes and hills and flowers. Bet I don’t. #
19:40 Remembered the Wilco tickets, now to get through all of the on-line check-in stuff with easyJet. Too early for BMI.. flic.kr/p/7fqR7G #
20:25 Heavy rain forecast in Amsterdam leads to Coat Dilemma: Trench or sensible-junior-manager-waterproof jacket? #
20:27 SJMWJ is practical whilst trench is arguably longer… What do ‘Dammers do? #
20:28 Trench is black, btw. #
20:36 A recent listen: Bishop Allen – Little Black Ache bit.ly/fL4CT bit.ly/jrwifm #
20:47 @iMacstu Decided! Easier to play detectives this way. Also, easier to be modest @ the very public urinals… bit.ly/wUuHM #

00:20 @facey Big corporate insurance DO dig Polaris however, at least in the UK (We’ve an imminent Polaris integration!). bit.ly/4ASnx6 #
00:26 @TheWineyard Yes, SSOTSS was good and cut-off in its prime (though I didn’t really like the show in the show!). Sorkin is a genius. #
00:35 @UraGraymalkin @Dan_Whittaker_ Going to be largely off the grid until Friday night, will try to check tweets and Es. Off to Newby Bridge. #
00:40 Had an evening trying to prepare and pack for an ‘away day’ in Newby Bridge over Thurs/Fri, whilst also trying to prepare for Amsterdam Sat. #
00:41 Wanted to be in bed hoooouuuursssss ago… Won’t sleep for trying to remember what I’ve forgotten. Planning #fail. #
11:28 @UraGraymalkin All very well, but how will you get your bigger bag back w/bmi? #
13:06 twitpic.com/p81k0 – It’s nice of the Newby Bridge Hotel to provide the facility, but I’m never going to fit a body in THERE! #
16:07 @Dan_Whittaker_ Genius, can’t believe @jabe666 didn’t get there first! Been enjoying yours though, Jabe… #
Thu 12 Nov 2009
01:04 Including some very good pics, beating my naked eye! –> RT @BrianSheldon:New blog post: Lancaster Castle Fireworks 2009 bit.ly/5SuAx #
02:45 A recent listen: Brakes – Margarita bit.ly/2hchLT bit.ly/jrwifm #
11:08 @UraGraymalkin Another 3 sleeps, if you can. You’ve got opera first, though. #
11:31 @UraGraymalkin …So goodie. #
12:50 Wilco are webcasting their Paradiso gig Monday, support NOT Grizzly Bear, unfortunately bit.ly/1ZI4oU (via @pete_eaton) #AllClanDam09 #
14:34 A recent listen: Joy Division – I Remember Nothing bit.ly/T6AZP bit.ly/jrwifm #
15:47 @UraGraymalkin 4 BSP T-shirts and a toothbrush? #
17:55 @facey Ooh, interesting. Big or small insurance company? #
18:16 @UraGraymalkin How could I forget the hairdryer? You realise that if you use it @Dan_Whittaker_ will become, er, agitated? #
19:51 @facey Not come across MCM, but have worked a Misys integration many years ago… Are you not under an NDA?! #
21:14 A recent listen: Lambchop – I Hate Candy bit.ly/4sa275 bit.ly/jrwifm #
23:59 @facey We do online quotes – all hooked into our Oracle back-end. Don’t know of any open systems, big corporate IT/insurance don’t dig open. #

09:01 BREAKING: Baltimore crime reporter on @r4today calls Moss Side a poof. #
16:26 @UraGraymalkin Don’t know, but I think there’s a canal we can use. Maybe hire a gondola or whatever. Is there gondola parking at the hotel? #
20:47 A recent listen: Josh Rouse & Kurt Wagner – That’s What I Know bit.ly/2xKMSJ bit.ly/jrwifm #
22:20 Badminton, Salt Ayre, and it’s age and experience against youth, skill and vigorous health. Who will win? #
22:50 Experience 1, skill 1. Hmmm, inconclusive. Need a grant for more research. #
23:05 RT @torrisholmebc: ‘A’ against an injury depleted Overton ‘B’ at Salt Ayre. A few tough games against their core team, but 13-5 final score. #
23:17 @TheWineyard Clearly you have excellent taste in drink and drama. I’m looking forward to seeing updates on your stock of Bryson’s draught! #
23:41 @Girlonatrain We don’t get out amongst the grown-ups much, so @UraGraymalkin is very excited. He’s the one insisting on hiring a Sherpa… #

00:49 Some weird and wonderful candid shots of kipping Nipponese from a cool blog by a Spaniard in Japan-Kirainet.com bit.ly/M90za #
14:48 A recent listen: Bishop Allen – True or False bit.ly/IWgMF bit.ly/jrwifm #
19:43 @campdave Ouch! At least it wasn’t burnt out with a corpse at the wheel. Mind you, you could have claimed on the insurance for that. #
19:47 @campdave Didn’t hear anything more about the incident at Kirby, was it quietly dealt with? It was obviously nasty and sounded suspicious. #
19:55 @campdave Oh. That’s really awful. Not that it wasn’t already. Weren’t there some other cars burnt out the same night? Unrelated? #
21:01 A recent listen: iLiKETRAiNS – THE BEECHiNG REPORT bit.ly/2QNGEC bit.ly/jrwifm #
22:52 @UraGraymalkin Suddenly, I’ve realised how imminent #AllClanDam09 is – have you sorted the train times/costs back from manc to lanc? #
22:57 @UraGraymalkin Actually, don’t worry, there’ll be trains at that time, I don’t know why I thought it needed looking into. #AllClanDam09 #
23:02 @UraGraymalkin Oh. Maybe that’s why I thought it needed looking into. I’m sure you’ll make the right decisions. #
23:06 @UraGraymalkin Rubbish! #
23:17 @UraGraymalkin Rubbish!! #

21:08 Lawks! Coats of Ice by Damien Jurado is good – #lastfm: bit.ly/27tFs4 #
22:01 Dear Gatehouse restaurant, may I suggest the first lesson for new staff should be how to take money from customers who want to pay it. #
22:09 A micro brewery in a windmill in East Amsterdam bit.ly/225xi #AllClanDam09 @pete_eaton @dan_whittaker_ @UraGraymalkin See a mouse? #
23:43 Now with fully useful link! –> RT @jrwi: A micro brewery in a windmill in East Amsterdam bit.ly/tKTov #AllClanDam09 #
23:54 Listened to ep1 of @Herring1967′s new show today.You know, the one all the kids are calling AIOTM? Brilliant. bit.ly/yaL9c #
