- Penis disk, surely. RT @Pete_Eaton Toylets – Brilliant! http://t.co/9Uppa99. Not so sure about taking my pendisk there though… #
- @SharonMcG1971 Oh dear, hope you get fixed up quickly. Good luck. #
- Beat me to it. RT @ukuleleboy @SharonMcG1971 lol….really 2.30?, they must reserve that slot #
- Shower time! #mcshower #nopants #
- Does the RPI include VAT? #
- If I was that trading standards officer, I'd have slapped Jennie Bond by now. Even before she started talking. #
- Rip-off Britain: is MY licence fee really being spent on this? Rip off! #

- I used to have some of this. Must get some for each of the kids I know… RT @indiaknight Playplax http://post.ly/1QTj5 #

- Ooh, George Osborne is coming on #r4today in a moment to tell us why he hates us so much. #vat20 #
- @lootl FILF.com, forgot all about that one… #
- @timdifford It made me want to see more, but I didn't then make any effort to see any of the films. Think I'll just watch him… #
- @timdifford Did you see his one about Westerns? Same sort of treatment:insightful, passionate, witty, funny. Makes me want to see more film. #
- @lootl Yeah, I clocked it, actually. The count resets at 100,000. #rtm #
- Rich Hall is a genius. Just watched his 'The Dirty South' critique/documentary on the cinema of the Southern States. He can wear a stetson. #
- I completed 801 tasks with Remember The Milk in 2010 #rtmstats http://rmilk.com/ #
- Any witches/warlocks out there know how to stop a little boy growing up anymore? He's too cute as he is #soppydad http://twitpic.com/3mruob #
- Anyway, off to play in an iBad match in a bit. I really, really CBA. #
- Who the hell would organise an iBad match for a bank holiday? I don't want my leisure activities taking up my leisure time. #
- @christiancable I blame Danny (Champion of the World). #
- Back to work tomorrow, so I'm busily roasting all of the left over Xmas provisions. Parsnips, carrots, onions, stilton, Quality Street, &c. #
- Bit of a slow start today after beers with @UraGraymalkin & @kjcos999 last night. What do they put in that IPA? I only had 12 pints. #
- Would it have killed you to tell me about Kinski sooner? #

- OH: generally, if I make a resolution, it happens.
- Like the opening of an episode of Casualty. #thearchers #
- Right, must just go and phone my Mum & Dad… #thearchers #theywouldkillme #
- @lootl Hey, less of the mini! Don't believe everything you read about me in the red tops! #
- @idiotjohnson I know! I saw the 13th hidden message, remember? Not sure how it affects the FUTURE OF MANKIND though, well, not all of them. #
- …because if I'm still in the shower when they get here, it'll be getting too late. What did you think I meant? #
- Next: Shower ready for @UraGraymalkin & @kjcos999 coming round, then out. Though if they catch me in the shower, we might not make it out… #
- Killed a few hours in Happy Mount Park this afternoon, great fun: Will took his stabilisers off and Toby was learning his unicycle. #balance #
- A recent listen: Stealing Sheep – sleep http://bit.ly/fiZG3i http://bit.ly/jrwifm #
- @kjcos999 Yes! You pick @UraGraymalkin up and come round here for your present around 7pm, then take us to Hest Bank for drinks til 12. OK? #
- @GoGoSonia This song usually plays in my head when this subject comes up. Makes me sad. http://song.ly/2lqgd Grandaddy – Summer… It's Gone #
- @idiotjohnson Right, now I don't know what to think – just watched it again and I've found 13 hidden messages. Did you count right? #
- @SharonMcG1971 What, no veg or anything? #
- @idiotjohnson …you say. But can I take a chance with THE FUTURE OF MANKIND!? #
- @idiotjohnson I'm not sure whether to believe a word #
- Just stumbled across this video by @IdiotJohnson, It's pretty arty, but still OK. Is that a Birtley Aris at 1:23? http://bit.ly/f2FXCC #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ Despite my earlier claim, tomorrow night's the night. Think you can make it? cc @kjcos999 @UraGraymalkin @jabe666 #
- @GoGoSonia Depressing, isn't it? #
- @UraGraymalkin easily accessible and nice. Lancaster fits the bill for me. Ideally want to get@kjcos999 @Dan_Whittaker_ & @jabe666 out, too #
- Sun sets at 15:59 today. How dreary of it. #
- RT @neilboyd All the ones, 1.1.11 11:11:11 http://yfrog.com/h6ycmaj #

- A recent listen: Field Music – 17 http://bit.ly/eXaEtX http://bit.ly/jrwifm #
- RT @dartogreen Happy new year!!! #
- @Pete_Eaton Nah, he's drinking Stella. Happy New Year. #
- @theglove78 Yeah, tragic is a better description than sad. Very clever stuff from Morris, as usual. His leaving his son was what made me sad #
- @UraGraymalkin Aw, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Happy New Year to you and the quizzing crew. #
- Our home land line just phoned itself and left a "voice text" saying Happy New Year. It's a nice thought, but the execution's a bit creepy. #
- @theglove78 Yeah, just watched it recently. Very funny, but I found it quite sad, too, especially at the end. Be interested in your views. #
- Decided to stay in for #nye more or less at Toby's request; he wants nibbles & to try to stay up until midnight! http://twitpic.com/3lpeiw #
- @UraGraymalkin Still weighing up my options for tonight… Are you Ottersgearing, what's the craic with that? #probablystayingin #

- Port and Stilton, what a cliché my life has become… #
- Watching some Tom Baker Doctor Who with Toby. And drinking Warre's Warrior Port. And nibbling Stilton (don't want to spoil my tea). #
- @ukuleleboy @potterjen Yours are in the wars more than mine! Builds character, what doesn't kill them etc. Clumsiest during growth spurts. #
- Lawks! The Gleam Pt. 2 by The Microphones is good – #lastfm http://bit.ly/60bmy #
- (I haven't. I haven't got better things to do.) #
- Wow, you lot have been busy: Just got a load of tabs with links and pics and vids to work through. I have got better things to do, you know. #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ WHAT'S YOUR WHAT'S YOUR MAXIMUM? #zeus #
- @Aghillo @SharonMcG1971 I also enjoyed the related tags, such as 'present participle' & 'Yoko Ono'. Though I obviously don't enjoy Yoko Ono. #
- @Aghillo Cheers, first for me, in the wild! #
- @DHNewHawks Near Middleton. Just happened to see it alight as I was driving by and managed to pull over for a minute. Chuffed. #
- Just encountered a little Owl, or possibly an actual Little Owl. Best I could do with my phone from the car. http://twitpic.com/3l8mn5 #

- @ukuleleboy By bullying, I'm not talking stealing their dinner money, natch! Easy to back off if it's not looking good, wasteful not to try. #
- @ukuleleboy If you think that the results would be good for artist and/or audience, then some friendly stalking/bullying would be acceptable #
- @ukuleleboy Bonus is that today is about as late as it ever rises around here. Thought it easier today than some time in June! #
- Brought Toby to see the sun rise, as he claimed never to have seen one. Not really changed that today! http://post.ly/1PJYW #
- @ukuleleboy @iMacstu @Ralpharama Leaving? Sounds like mistaken identity… #
- @iMacstu We have had a good one, thanks! Glad yours has been good, too (been watching;) -Hope you have a good NYEE night out tomorrow. #
- @iMacstu I hope he hasn't been taken by one of those shadowy figures who were following me… I suspect he's just busy with festive spirit. #
- @marieiram Ha! Nothing could rival #twancaster I was trying a Wind in the Willows style tweet-up, but I think Ratty's been taken by a mink. #
- @simondtwit Thanks, it was rather beautiful. There were *lots* of folk with cameras, so there must be loads of pics somewhere out here! #
- I wasn't the only one taking pictures. Also nice to have met @Yorkie71 – he recognized me in the crowd somehow… http://flic.kr/p/95DMoX #

- Dragging the kids off the sofa and away from their Nintendos for a cold, wet walk. That's got to be good, right? #
- @iMacstu I can't speak for @Ralpharama, but I'm alive. Been keeping my head down as I was being followed by some shady characters… #

- @lootl Not as good as a 'send to Instapaper' option in a Twitter client, alas. Also, not yet found a half-decent Instapaper Android app. #
- @lootl It's linked to my Twitter a/c – whenever I favourite a tweet, pinboard adds it as a bookmark, then I can un-fave it… #
- @lootl That's one of the things I miss from my Nokia – being able to send Twitter links to instapaper. Pinboard has integration with both. #
- @lootl It's a bookmarking service, quite similar to Delicious, except not being shut down by Yahoo. https://pinboard.in/ #
- Just spotted 'Rich Hall's The Dirty South' is on BBC 4 later (00:35). His film genre documentaries are not to be missed. Y'hear? #
- Best thing about pinboard is the twitter_favs feature. I use favourites as part of my workflow, now they become bookmarks in a reading list. #
