- Thanks for all the lunch venue recs everyone. So as not to appear ungrateful, we'll be having 6 lunches today, one at each recommendation. #
- Having coffee in Rusholme with @UraGraymalkin and @Pete_Eaton. http://post.ly/1GBQy #
- @nickebbitt Cool, second rec for Thomas's Chop House. We've had loads for Lass O' Gowrie, so I think we're heading there. #
- @Kristianholt Going into town, we're on the train as soon as we've eaten, thanks for the tip. #
- @Girlonatrain The Lass looks like it's got the vote, @UraGraymalkin also named it. It's a Doctor Who thing, I think. #
- @sianio Just like that here in Manc, too. Hoping the snow gives us a miss. #
- @Kristianholt We're in Rusholme, but will be hiking up to get our train. Lass O' Gowrie getting lots of recs. Your's sounds interesting! #
- On an unrelated note, who has a recommendation for a pub lunch venue in Manchester, ideally avoiding chain pubs? #
- Hey, Lancaster tweeps! I take it from the lack of "it's snowed" tweets that it hasn't snowed back home. #

- @alikichapple No, I watched the McGann movie on DVD (borrowed from @UraGraymalkin) last night. It's not canonical! Or non-canonical! #badfan #
- @UraGraymalkin That leaves me in a tricky position – I never indulge in non-canon entertainment, so I can no longer watch DW. Thanks.#DW #
- Hmm, toasted teacakes, a banana and coffee, all part of an unexpected and rare breakfast in bed. I think it was instigated by the boy! #

- Hey, that's my robot! RT @UraGraymalkin A midnight oil-stop – we're like a robot rock band! http://twitpic.com/355t7a #
- God Is An Astronaut. Loud. Post. Rock. At The Ruby Lounge. http://twitpic.com/355ir0 #
- Just catching up: not a good news day for #Twancaster job interviewees – Commiserations to @christiancable & @BeBopAJulia. #

- @idiotjohnson Ooh, I'm at 21%. Will, literally, press on. #kindle #
- @idiotjohnson @booksaregood Oh, thank god for that. How many percent is 60 pages? Currently finding it the opposite of un-put-downable. #
- @ryankent Nice list, spinning it now. You know that Loveless is neither new nor shit, though, right? #
- A recent listen: My Bloody Valentine – Sometimes http://bit.ly/9Jttnq http://bit.ly/jrwifm #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ …and? Have you organised a Gal plus ACL event in advance of xmas? If not, why not? #
- @PotterJen Yeah, someone mentioned marathon, hadn't heard anything about it in advance. In fact, never heard of the Lancaster half-marathon! #
- @ukuleleboy nice! #
- @BeBopAJulia Reports are of a marathon. Probably people running away from the knife wielding maniac on the prom in Morecambe. #
- @simondtwit Makes sense, I saw some folk in fluorescent jackets and signs for "start". Ta. #
- WTF is going on in Lancaster that's clogging up all the approach roads from Morecambe? Anyone know? #
- @idiotjohnson I seem to have developed some sort of all over, uniform red, rash hovering just over my skin. Is that normal for baby sick? #
- Just had my first bowl of Ready Brek EVAH! Always assumed it was basically porridge, but it's a LOT more like baby sick than porridge is. #
- @campdave Er, I think Steve Jobs is the boss of time, thank you very much. Stop getting uppity or you may disappear to the Ministry of iLove #
- @virt_lancaster Found it on the @The_Visitor site. Back in August, not exactly the same but some similarities: http://bit.ly/9JUdVb #
- I earned the Addon Adhesive sticker on @GetGlue! http://bit.ly/d3ETPF #
- @kevmcveigh You do get a position though, like 6,145 of 27,721, and a percentage, like 26% of 100%. Or 32% of 100%. Or 1%. So it's all fine. #
- So, sleep. Earlier than most school nights. I think I'm just over excited with the fireworks and the bonfires and the fiver for the guy… #
- @campdave I think they don't want to offend the Muslims. #
- @mcdent Safety. It was getting a bit mental up there, even the last time I went about 10 years ago, so it's understandable. Shame though. #
- @mamajunkyard I was. Walked up to the Barrows at Torrisholme. Not very near, but a clear view. Kids sort of enjoyed it, but got bored/cold. #
- Your gardens are going to be covered in Fawkes litter tomorrow. #
- A smog lays heavily across the whole of Lancaster & Morecambe, punctuated by constellations of Japanese lantern, aglow with rainbow blooms. #
- No real boost to Lancaster businesses now the people are being kept away from the centre, either, I guess. Dolly Blue Tavern probably OK. #
- So, how much are we pissing away on those fireworks tonight? 100? 200k? How many extra car journeys to view? Not v. austere or green, is it? #
- I've brought my hip-flask and iPod. Not letting any stupid celebrations spoil my evening's entertainment. Oh, they've started. #
- Off to Torrisholme Barrows to observe the castle fireworks. Anyone need any cow pats while I'm up there? #
- New uni helmet. Not needed for most riding, but an example for the kids. V pointed out it also has my name on. http://twitpic.com/34f3cu #

- @Girlonatrain Nah. The sparklers are outside, on the balcony. With the bonfire. #
- I'm at The Deaf Institute with @marieiram & @UraGraymalkin. They gave us bonfire toffee on the way in & there are sparklers. Teeth & hands. #
- My Top 3 Weekly #lastfm artists: Dan Haywood's New Hawks (28), iLiKETRAiNS (27) & Arcade Fire (18) http://bit.ly/bbtThG #
- In my car outside @marieiram's house. Having to share everything on Twitter is really bumming out my stalking career… #
- @UraGraymalkin Come round for 18:30-ish. Bring BSG and tickets to qualify for travel. #
- @campdave What was it this time, this at work, I take it? #
- Managed to catch the 14:30 out of Euston. It's rammed. ALL seats reserved, except in E. Now stood in first class. I am posh. #
- @Yorkie71 Check the site – there's some 3rd party software for this. Didn't work well with my scanner but you may have better luck. #
- @virt_lancaster This is similar to an incident at Scale Hall recently, isn't it? A woman was sprayed with something from a car. Remember? #
- BSP, Bear, awesome. C'mon! #

- @idiotjohnson I will tweet so you may experience my exotic life vicariously. I may put that in my bio. in reply to idiotjohnson #
- Unusually large room for a London Premier Inn… Know where we're going for tea, just walked past Fat Boy's Thai! http://twitpic.com/33w5mm #

- @PotterJen I did expect problems when I realised I didn't have time to get a ticket before boarding. Pleasantly surprised. in reply to PotterJen #
- @BeBopAJulia Did you do well, you think? When will you hear back? Are there further stages? #questionsquestions in reply to BeBopAJulia #
- @PotterJen Too late. I didn't have a choice, really, but they don't seem to have charged more than the ticket office; 75 return to Brentford in reply to PotterJen #
- On the Lancaster – Euston. Had to chase the train manager, who checked everyone else but me, to buy a ticket. Still won't sell me one… #
- @marieiram They came and took ours ages ago. The floor under my desk is now a DISGRACE! in reply to marieiram #
- @facey You're exotic. (Phone tried to correct that to erotic.) You're erotic. in reply to facey #
- @PotterJen Oh, yes, I print my email onto paper. Then copy it into my filofax. In pencil. I'm not an idiot, appointments change! in reply to PotterJen #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ We don't all have a little woman to make sure our tea's on the table when we get home from work, you know! in reply to Dan_Whittaker_ #

- I've subscribed to BennyT11's channel on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/user/BennyT11?feature=autoshare #
- Hmm, should probably be thinking about having tea. #

- @idiotjohnson …except with honey. #bearconfusion in reply to idiotjohnson #
- @kevmcveigh Yeah, very convenient. It was like two days later. Not sure what their motivation is, whoever 'they' are, but it's suspicious. in reply to kevmcveigh #
- Disappointed I'll be missing next week's match, but it's some consolation that I'm missing it to see God Is An Astronaut! #iBad #
- Final score for our A team versus Ripley A, 10 – 8 to us. #iBad #result #
- Decent result with an under strength team against Ripley A tonight. Still disappointed to have lost 1 of mine, ending a 4 week unbeaten run. #
- @Proto_type You'd have to shave first. It's about growing a mo', from scratch, no beard, for a prostate cancer charity. #movember in reply to Proto_type #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ Ah, the internal job you mentioned the other night. I also admire your dedication to the Equestrian Olympic events. in reply to Dan_Whittaker_ #

- Back from @MrChrisAddison. Had a drink with @GirlOnATrain & @IdiotJohnson who had also been there. @UraGraymalkin paid. I wish I was dead. #
