08:38 Much as I’d prefer not, nipping to the office to do my expenses; owed > 900 quid for the last 3 weeks. That doesn’t even include the hotel! #

10:23 @uragraymalkin This evening was my preference – going to see daredevils or something this afternoon. Just a couple of pints somewhere..? #

14:32 @UraGraymalkin Re: plans for tonight. How about head for L/C for about 8, have some beer in nice pubs, go home again? #

19:58 Got slightly distracted de-duping my iTunes library, but heading to town now to meet @UraGraymalkin, wherever he might be. #sunbyanychance? #

23:24 @Pete_Eaton Just enjoy the cake, it’ll end sometime. Also, drink and let the mothers do the leg work – they really like that. #

13:06 post.ly/hgLe – I’m now on holiday! A pity I’m on Guildford train station, platform 5, when I want to be in Torrisholme, The North. #

13:10 post.ly/hgRB – Innovative of Apple to include the date on iPad posters but come on! How about the time and temperature? #halfajobs #

14:27 Train rammed, as usual. No reservations, as per c. 75% of the time. Looks like lots of people will be stood for their journey North. Shoddy. #

16:30 Watching Mad Men S1E1 on the train. Was watching Deadwood, but turns out I ripped it in German. Turns out I don’t speak German. #

18:38 My Top 3 Weekly #lastfm artists: The Tallest Man on Earth (21), Wild Beasts (11) and Two Door Cinema Club (10) bit.ly/bBlIfQ #

18:56 Now I’m confused. How did those artists get scrobbled when I’ve been away..? #

22:04 @lootl Virgin keep apologising for all their failings but then go ahead and do it again, like a naughty kid. Speaking of which, tea @ McD’s! #

12:56 post.ly/hXyY – Lunch in the courtyard at GHO. In 24 hours I’ll be heading home for a fortnight holiday. #

20:35 It’s Thursday night, I’m living in a travel tavern and having it large in Frankie & Benny’s. Dough balls! Yay! Please shoot me. #

21:53 Reading ruined. They just turned the lights off in F&B’s to sing happy birthday to some idiots. #

21:56 They’re not all bad, though. My double esprsesso was on the house. Fools! The entire meal was being paid for by a large insurance company. #

22:00 @idiotjohnson Has your not-boss been leading you astray? Is the village like either Peter Hook or Captain Hook in any way? #

23:23 @UraGraymalkin Don’t drink them too quickly, I’ll be round to help as soon as I can. #

22:23 @lootl Aw, that was going to be tonight’s tweet from the travel tavern. #sausagebreakwater #

22:31 Right, just off to the all night garage for a scotch egg. #iamalanpartridge #guildford #

21:51 @marieiram Ooh, I might have made the effort to attend if I hadn’t been stuck here in the sarf. Did you ask any homeopathy questions? #

21:53 @UraGraymalkin Yes, Wednesday. I’ll drive, the ginger beers are on you. Be good to have a dry night anyway, expenses are making me a lush. #

21:56 Hello everyone, here is my token tweet for the day. Incidentally, I am like TOTALLY the mayor of the Premier Inn, Guildford. #alanpartridge #

22:14 @marieiram I assume that she’s not actually a homeopathy advocate, though. Or is she? What was the question you would have asked? #

22:34 @marieiram Really interesting. Different lives? As in, different fantasy lives? She doesn’t believe in re-incarnation and stuff, too?! #

22:35 @christiancable @marieiram Indeed, less skeptical, more credulous… #

22:46 @marieiram Absolutely. She’s great at the what-if. Must check out her other stuff. #

05:36 Ah, a gig I *will* be making, @therubylounge RT @wotgodforgot: and in 1 and a half weeks time…. yfrog.com/3mu4qj #

09:04 Going to spend the week listening to the unheard bands & albums on my iPod. First this morning: Two Door Cinema Club, then Two Gallants #

10:25 Vincent Vincent and the Villains, Volcano Choir. Former enjoyable on the tube, but didn’t manage past 7 tracks, enjoying VC in volcano heat. #

11:44 @BlueVanMan1 In case you were thinking things weren’t really working out with DD? #

21:20 @lootl Yeah, the early trains & meetings disagree with my circadian rhythms horribly, plus long journeys, long days and lack of net access. #

21:25 Is there some sort of football happening? How come all these cockney chancers are in my lounge^d^d^d^d^d^d hotel doing the pub quiz, then? #

22:23 @UraGraymalkin Shame – still, Scout Niblett next week, fully up and available for that. Who will drive? #

22:24 @UraGraymalkin Oh, well, I’m here this week, off for a fortnight, then *probably* back in Guildford, but should then be scaling back… #

22:25 @UraGraymalkin Living in interesting times, employment wise. #

22:28 I’m #reading Live and Let Die by Ian Fleming bit.ly/9OGGPN #

22:51 Bed. More meetings at wtf-o’clock and, oh bugger, now I have to add shaving my stupid face into the snooze-equation. #

10:21 Next time, the pack to include ibuprofen and a large DRINK RESPONSIBLY notice. Hair of the Snake Dog with your cornflakes? #wineyardtasting #

10:24 Although, in my case, most of the damage was done in the afternoon with the wine I picked up with my tasting pack. #wineyardtasting #BBQ #

10:30 @ukuleleboy Yeah, not sure drinking & tweeting is a terribly good plan. Worse than saying stupid things in the pub in many ways. #

10:35 @ukuleleboy *delete delete delete* #

18:08 Just remembered I should have been going to see A Place To Bury Strangers tonight @DeafInstitute, but I’m packing for working away. Aw, boo! #

18:09 @UraGraymalkin You going to A Place To Bury Strangers? #

20:26 post.ly/h6WP – William, about to tuck into ‘the best chocolate he’s ever seen’ plundered from mummy’s birthday Thornton’s. #

20:28 @TheWineyard Arcade Fire, 283!!?? Where do you find the time?! #lastfm #tweeklyfm #

20:35 Packing for Guildford done, opened a Snake Dog IPA and I’m about to watch Doctor Who. Bed soon, love to stay up, but need sleep… #

11:56 Bloomin’ ‘eck guys, you’ve literally been all a-twitter since the early hours this morning, I’m waaay behind on the bats and beer… #

11:57 Meanwhile, in face news, I’ve shaved mine. #

14:09 @idiotjohnson Are swine sacred of coffee, or something? #

14:12 Timetable changes plus bank holiday chaos mean that I’ve had to book an earlier train home next week – Guildford, return to Bare = £300! #

14:18 @idiotjohnson Oh arse, damn this predictive text. Hey, you’ll know this, where can I buy nice slippers that a girl would like to receive? #

22:34 @idiotjohnson Back from an impromptu BBQ, bet no-one else has had one of those today. So, what’s good after 7hrs drinking? #wineyardtasting #

22:37 @TheWineyard @ukuleleboy Yeah, Wes, go for the learner beer next time… #wineyardtasting #

22:40 Right, sorry, gonna try and catch up – are we on Raging Bitch? First observation: it’s quite small (I get that a lot, too) #wineyardtasting #

22:42 Oh, I see that it;s outrageously strong, though, let’s see how it sounds when I open it… #wineyardtasting #ragingbitch #

22:44 Pssst! #ragingbitch #wineyardtasting #

22:51 Raging Bitch really dry but light for the strength. I’m getting a lot of peach up front, but tonnes of, oh, I’ve been sick. #wineyardtasting #

22:55 All in all, Dry and fruity, plus high-alcohol and Steadman and Thompson connections means win out of ten. #wineyardtasting #ragingbitch #

23:11 @idiotjohnson Aw, man, I’ve been out looking for slippers.If you’d have come up with the goods, I’d have been back earlier #wineyardtasting #

23:12 @idiotjohnson Incidentlly, did you mean "whete", I’ll think about it for a minute… #wineyardtasting #

23:13 Oh arse! INCIDENTLY! #

23:28 Right everyone, gonna try the Anchor Steam Beer now. Hmm, wet. #wineyardtasting #sorryben #

23:44 So, apré #BBQ, doing my own, personal, #wineyardtasting & watching foot-the-ball on BBC1. Was gonna watch DW, but Toby (6) is a lightweight #

15:52 This weekend’s plans: drink wine, shave off beard, sleep, unicycle, Doctor Who, swim, wineyard twitter tasting, go to the park, cook chilli #

16:29 @ukuleleboy Sounds similar indeed, I’m well looking forward to it, simple pleasures. May do up to 2 different parks! #

16:35 @ukuleleboy Yeah, it’s great. You have a go on the zip line? #
