00:11 Best get some sleep so I’m strong for tomorrow. Politics Thursday. I’d like to know where all these eastern Europeans are flocking from. #

00:44 A recent listen: British Sea Power – Blackout bit.ly/bmOyO9 bit.ly/jrwifm #

08:11 #r4today #news Marks & Spencer’s are standing by their knickers. #

09:07 @idiotjohnson …and with all that caffeine and aloe vera, so moreish. I like a little salt with mine… #

20:29 @UraGraymalkin If you hold the vinyl close to your ear, can you hear the songs, then? #firstlisten #

20:42 post.ly/e5UH – I like ants, but… Are ants like plants & called weeds if out of place? There’s a pants/weed joke there, somewhere. #

23:56 Jesus. Yellow brick road, Matthew Wright, Jeffrey Archer. You just lost me, @bbcthisweek #ThisWeek #ge2010 #

00:24 @UraGraymalkin No, still none of the caterwauling you call music, but they have re-named it "Steve Jobs’ iSpotify". Good enough for you now? #

08:25 Shared an intimate moment with a dustcart driver this morning. #

20:25 This you, @AndyMoulster?! RT @sarahprofit1: at the traffic lights… a guy on a big unicycle just whizzed [passed]. I love #Sheffield #

01:12 @follyofyouth First and last trip to moho for me. Have to be one helluva line up to get me back there. Worst in mcr? Worst I’ve seen anyway. #

20:17 I was quite excited earlier about the new #Spotify, but I haven’t got it yet and I’m not that bothered. I’ll check again in a few minutes… #

23:31 Why do Apple think it’s a good iDea to keep me waiting for 10 minutes every time I try and open iTunes while they f**k about with genius? #

23:32 iMean, I like genius and everything, and Apple hate multi-tasking, but that could be done in the background, surely? #

23:50 We know how to entertain our boys. Here you are son, carry my bag. No, you can’t have a rest yet. flic.kr/p/7WPsTc #

23:55 Oops, meant to get an early night. Still, had a productive evening, if uploading a few photos to Flickr can be called productive. #noitcant #

05:27 A recent listen: Califone – Evidence bit.ly/cW7Ajb bit.ly/jrwifm #

12:32 Just realised the information I’ve been searching for was conveyed in a conversation, not a tweet/email/SMS. Talking sucks. #

17:33 Dashing out of work now. I should just have time to get home and changed before @UraGraymalkin & @kjcos999 arrive to take me to BSP! #

17:58 A recent listen: Smog – In the Pines bit.ly/c716CP bit.ly/jrwifm #

23:34 No. Elbow. Room. To. Tweet. Properly. Pics. Only. #britishseapower #bsp #moholive post.ly/dP3O #

23:45 @follyofyouth Shocking sound from where we were standing, and not helped by the sixth-form common room level chatter from surrounding idiots #

10:09 @christiancable Ahh, good thinking. Still odd that the Doctor hasn’t queried it… #

10:46 @marieiram @christiancable If they can’t see, how did they find the clerics? If they managed without, why did they evolve ‘dangerous’ sight? #

10:48 @marieiram @christiancable Maybe I’m over-analysing #

11:10 @christiancable @marieiram They may be hard, but at least you’ll never get a Weeping Angel in a pub going, "are you looking at me?". #

11:17 A recent listen: North Atlantic Oscillation – Audioplastic bit.ly/aFwIh5 bit.ly/jrwifm #

11:44 @Girlonatrain Feign further complications until post-pudding! Or maybe they do doggie bags. Worth asking… #

16:24 Please refer to previous Sunday tweets in lieu of today’s installments, but use your imagination to add extra bumble bees. #

17:20 A recent listen: Midlake – Winter Dies bit.ly/dgWIvX bit.ly/jrwifm #

22:35 Normal Sunday evening activity would be to do lots of prep for the week ahead. I’m not bothering tonight. Let’s see how that goes. #

22:54 @facey Wow, that is an ace picture. The colours are amazing. #

08:53 All 4 of us in our bed. Toby’s reading Doctor Who magazine, mummy & William are wrestling & playing ‘this little piggy turns into a monster’ #

08:54 Toby’s just leapt into the wrestling match, too… I suppose I’d better join them. #

08:59 post.ly/cniM – Breakfast wrestling. A light warm-up for the rest of the day’s wrestling. #

09:09 Read the article, but it’s the Tories and Lib Dems RT @virt_lancaster: Which would-be MPs want to waste £140 million? ow.ly/179sSY #

09:32 Lawks! Think of as One by Roky Erickson is good – #lastfm: bit.ly/bqiuMN #

09:39 How Much Do Music Artists Earn Online? bit.ly/bUexRB via @infobeautiful <== I feel almost ashamed for using @spotify! #

09:49 @ukuleleboy Isn’t it – Indies must view #spotify & #lastfm as loss-leaders to drive fans to gigs and merch. Works on me, anyway. #

09:56 @marieiram Ah, if Ince irks you, it would seem you don’t like smug comedians. Test: do you like Michael McIntyre? Didn’t think so, Q.E.D. #

18:28 @marieiram You can’t fool me, that’s never a phone. #

18:36 Any suggestions for a good, kid-friendly pub, maybe with an outside play area? Toby wants to go to a pub for tea! #morecambe #

18:46 @campdave Ruled that out because it will be heaving, but I guess anywhere with an outside will be! #

18:47 @campdave Have fun. Where are they tonight? And have you still not got live picture tweeting facilities? #

20:00 post.ly/cu1z – At the Mill Inn. That’s my pint! Good play area, couple of pints, fish n chips on the way home, then #doctorwho #

20:01 @UraGraymalkin Tory boy! You love Cameron. #

20:39 @campdave I thought it was Idlewild #

20:40 @campdave Cool! #

22:30 So, the pivotal plot point from the 1st Weeping Angels encounter – that another WA gaze stops them – somehow no longer applies? #doctorwho #

22:33 @marieiram Coz it’s a shoe? #twitterineadventure #twitterwineadventure #

22:42 @BeBopAJulia @marieiram She’s using it as a mobile phone!!! #

08:14 @michaellegge I do all my fucking awake, too. I think. #

15:25 Inbox stuffed with offers for St George’s Day (!) and from marketeers who happen to know ‘tis my birthday. Hmm, 20% off Laphroaig, though… #

15:29 I’m stuffed with lunch from The Gatehouse, two pints of Black Sheep, and vintage Fonseca. #decadence #

18:05 @Girlonatrain Oh my word! I see help is on the way, hope they’re looking after you properly. And that you have your iPod with you. Get well. #

18:20 @UraGraymalkin What is your 20? #toomuchwire #

18:33 @UraGraymalkin Oh, right. Lucky that’s where I am. Is that what you mean or shall I meet you on the bus? #onsecondthoughtsnotenoughwire #

18:47 @facey Aw, thanks. Where’s my postal order? #

18:53 @UraGraymalkin I’m waiting for you at home. I’ll go for a bus instead… #

19:13 @davidschneider Sometimes, people laugh when I’m "in" them. #

19:16 Thanks for all the #ff/birthday love everybody! I’m at a bus stop in #Torrisholme if anyone wants to literally follow or love me. #

19:30 @mamajunkyard Thanks, I’ll try. Off into town to meet some friends, but I won’t let that stop me,.. #

19:41 In Lancaster. Highly confused to have just walked *passed* The Sun. #

20:31 My Top 3 Weekly #lastfm artists: Clem Snide (12), Regina Spektor (12) and Albert Hammond, Jr. (10) bit.ly/bBlIfQ #

21:09 In the Merchant’s. Arguing about unreliable tech, yet here I am *underground* tweeting about the argument. In your face, @kjcos999! #

21:12 In the Merchant’s with @kjcos999, @jabe666 & @UraGraymalkin and a rubbish camera. post.ly/cgZn #

21:44 @Pete_Eaton Wahey! The acl say, hang on, I’ll ask them… …can we have a discount on your book? Carl’s already torrented it on ebay. #

21:47 @Pete_Eaton Thanks! And thanks for the book. Will get round to replying to your easter email tomorrow, probably! #

21:55 @campdave Cheers! #

20:31 In @ASDA and they’re NOT piping the debate over the PA! I’m not anti-American, like Clegg, but for shame, Walmart, for shame! #leadersdebate #

22:17 @TheWineyard All about perspective and subjectivity. You and I have had a good 13 years, doesn’t mean it’s been a good 13 years for the UK. #

22:43 Now, I was going to continue my politics Thursday night with The West Wing, but just remembered #bbcqt. Too tired for both, what shall I do? #

22:43 A recent listen: Smog – Let Me See the Colts bit.ly/bvJPd5 bit.ly/jrwifm #

22:45 Think I’ll just see who’s on and have a biscuit. #

22:55 @robloder Good call, looking at the QT line-up, S7E11 it is. bit.ly/9YeLcd #

23:25 @TheWineyard Iraq/Afghanistan, light-touch financial legislation, heavy-handed immigration control (cf: Yarlswood), ID card attempts, PFIs #

23:27 @TheWineyard fwiw, I don’t think most of the bad stuff is b/c of a Labour government, but because of the times and the nature of government. #

20:57 @UraGraymalkin Hard to know how they couldn’t. I don’t like you at all. #

21:56 I’m sure there was stuff I had to do tonight – Instead went chucking the frisbee about with Toby and then, well, nothing. Much better! #
