- On page 143 of 304 of The Watchman, by Robert Crais http://t.co/xS8ocAH #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ Congratulations! Finally official! Have you told your folks? #
- @watsoncomedian But I bet someone who goes to see you later goes to see Pulp, so you ARE supporting them. Assuming anybody goes to see you. #
- @ukuleleboy The Inbetweeners. Will try and catch you either before or after or both. #twancaster #
- Got a rare opportunity to take my lady friend out so we're going to the flicks & to eat/drink. May catch the #twancaster crowd in passing… #
- I may have twisted everybody's words there a little, but I'm doing an impression of a monkey smoking pot, so at least I'm not a republican. #
- Enjoying how when I dare to say I don't find the iconic Bill Hicks hilarious, his defenders suggest I should because he was an iconoclast. #
- @kevmcveigh By rights, I should, too. But I don't. I do see his qualities, can watch him, enjoy his writing, just don't find him hilarious. #
- Somebody bought me a book of Bill Hicks' correspondence. He wrote w/ great wit, passion, compassion, linguistic skill & political insight. #
- @Girlonatrain It *definitely* isn't that sort of comedy. He's very iconoclastic, though. A great stand-up iconoclast. #
- @kevmcveigh I get all that, and that's a good summation. It's what people should be saying instead of suggesting he shaped modern comedy. #
- Now watching Bill Hicks. He was a comedian, right? Why am I not laughing? Will somebody explain Bill Hicks, please, I missed that lesson. #
- Pulp on the Red Button now #reading #
- @Girlonatrain They just did one song – but it was Fake Empire. Sleep well. #ilikethesingalong #
- Ooh, The National at Reading on BBC3! Do the singalong! Do the singalong! #donotdothesingalong #

- @Girlonatrain Often, that is the most appropriate action when bidden to press the red button. Tonight was unusual. #
- @Girlonatrain Didn't really need saying… I need 2 tellies, or a TV guide. Bloody red button, such a tease. #
- @Girlonatrain Sorry, they've just finished, too… #sheepish #
- @Girlonatrain Red button. Reading button? #
- Flicking between Crystal Castles and The Strokes at Reading. Both seem quite popular with the kids, but which is best? #
- Either it's thundering, or the power station just exploded. #
- Ready Brek: Proud sponsors of Doctor Who. #
- @ukuleleboy @marieiram Might – may depend on the weather… #
- @IzzyVonCount Yeah, now my coins are no good, but on the plus side I'm gonna miss Doctor Who. #
- @idiotjohnson Photo, or it didn't happen. #
- In Happy Mount Park for the 'All the Fun of the Fair' event. http://t.co/jRr9f3R #
- @marieiram It's only money! #
- Look at the size of this coin! (Spider provided for scale) http://t.co/zh7Fn1z #
- Dear RSPCA: Thanks for coming round begging for money. Good to know we have a cure for cancer, and poverty and famine are now history. #
- Right? #
- I've just brushed it into a dustpan and left it in the cupboard under the stairs. That's what you're supposed to do as a responsible adult. #
- …after I cleared up the wine glass I smashed all over the kitchen floor, of course. #
- Just back from a night of beer and elephants with @Pete_Eaton and, lo! there's a marathon on telly! Result! Watching Torchwood on PVR. #
- @UraGraymalkin That's not worked its way through to Booths, yet. #
- Just been for a walk on the barrows with Pete. http://t.co/7biAjZg #
- @marieiram I think it was caused by a confluence of rare meteorological events. #
- The light is very weird out there. Wish I had the means to capture the effect. #

- This is what I'm listening to while I tidy my room => FULL ALBUM STREAM: Cymbals Eat Guitars | SPIN.com http://t.co/DXZFdT0 #
- Hurrah! I found my iPod lead! It was where I left it. #
- Using the last few minutes of battery life in my iPod to listen to Dan Haywood's New Hawks. Will be bereft when the charge finally fails. #
- @pancakesjb I meant soccer. #
- @marieiram So, when will he be playing football again? #
- Was just thinking the same. #TheInnardsBelongingToIan RT @Girlonatrain: Any news on #IansInnards yet? #

- @Pete_Eaton Tomorrow, or are you in York? #
- That camera is awesome! RT @Pete_Eaton will vs. world @jrwi http://t.co/xCuQuri #
- @Girlonatrain Not at all. What he needs is increasingly harsh prison terms, as a deterrent to others. See how few naked ramblers there are! #
- This is ridiculous, isn't it? To keep locking him up for such long periods? http://t.co/CbkFwIH #
- Anyone seen my iPod lead? It's getting critical now, nearly out of battery and unable to DL #Malkmus for portable Malkmusness. #
- Lancaster RT @twisst28 An extremely bright ISS will cross your sky tonight! It comes up in the West at 22:04. Details: http://t.co/uZPMLfh #

- @Dan_Whittaker_ @kjcos999 @UraGraymalkin @Pete_Eaton I hope we are eating, I'm famished. #
- @Pete_Eaton Get a lift. If it's just you, we can pick you up – otherwise, I'll get a taxi. #
- @Pete_Eaton Anywhere is significantly improved by your absence. #
- @UraGraymalkin @Pete_Eaton @kjcos999 @Dan_Whittaker_ Why don't we assemble at the Strawberry at 7, then go eat. Ian can do what he can. #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ It is. I'm in there now. Whacka, whacka, whacka. #whacka #

- Elvis Drives. http://t.co/szdbrdb #
- Free car park you say!? I'm there! http://t.co/VGdS0uR #
- @marieiram Yes please, that will be a good gig, most likely. Is Roky touring with them? #
- The boys are going hoop-la for Rhuddlan castle. http://t.co/ZPG6EeN #
- Where the hell is the castle!? Oh, right, thanks. http://t.co/gtaRSO6 #
- @idiotjohnson Rhyl promenade seems nice actually, but it's just a front… #
- @ukuleleboy @marieiram I'll check it out during working hours & update my report – my exposure last night may not have been representative. #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ The outward views offered from the promenade are mostly preferable to the inward. #
- A recent listen: Bill Wells – Tasogare http://t.co/lex7M4s http://t.co/M8Z58JH #
- @ukuleleboy Beautiful views, only slightly marred by the wind turbines. Lots of disaffected yoot enjoying it and drinking lager on the prom. #
- Rhyl. Like Morecambe, except downtrodden and rough. I mean, rough. http://post.ly/2uaX8 #
- I'm in North Wales. It's sunny and pretty warm, even at this time. Also, I have a mobile signal. Hang on, let me just check my GPS… #
- @katyskyewalker Congratulations! #
- Finally under way. Fuel by Sainsburys and Greggs. No idea what they've got against apostrophes. #
- @marieiram Yeah, and I just lost on level 2. #
- Packing the car for camping in the rain is a bore. #
- @timdifford Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go, where nobody knows your name – on High Street between Betfred & Comet. #
- @timdifford I chose a picture of a balaclava with shotguns rampant. #
- @timdifford @idiotjohnson Oh, do share. #
- Just logged on to my Santander a/c. Had to give extra info for future: a pass phrase, an image, and 3 other Q&As. I kid you not. an IMAGE!? #
- Final episode of Boardwalk Empire, first 2 of Treme, first 3 of Game of Thrones, plus Musashi (3 chapters in). Enough for 4 days' camping? #
- iBad was discouraging tonight. Never mind, off camping to Rhyl tomorrow, which reminds me of a Royston Vasey joke. http://t.co/3R1ojZw #

- I'm tired like the wolf. Despite my predilection for keeping late hours, I don't actually keep late hours, because of the man. Damn the man. #
- @dartogreen We should; we could probably get cheap rates on office space, plus it's much harder to buy doughnuts at night, so it's healthy. #
- @dartogreen This is entirely my problem – I start to fire up late in the day. I'd rather work 6pm – 2am than during the day. #
- @timdifford Thanks! #
- Nice. RT @Pete_Eaton 226/365 @jrwi http://t.co/UQPWGcv #

- Caterpillar. Here seen attacking the apple tree known as Jack Sparrow. http://t.co/eXvfeXW #
- I've been followed IN Morecambe before, but I'm now being followed BY @morecambe. I can see you, come out from behind that lampost! #
- Just watched In Bruges. Must have been good, Veronica stayed awake for the entire film. This never happens. Also, it was good. #
- William first lost a tooth today. Not sure whether he lost his first tooth today. He wants the money whatever. http://t.co/qSUByek #

- In case you're interested, Herring is coming to Lancaster in Feb to do What Is Love, Anyway? at The Grand Theatre http://t.co/RmdThvj #
- @Yorkie71 Turned out alright, went to EK's on Lansil and got it for 10.20 instead of the 14.99 Halfords would have wanted. They had Os, too. #
- @SharonMcG1971 Timpsons. Can't remember how much I paid, but the lifetime guarantee is the clincher. I've had mine replaced free for years. #
- @Yorkie71 I'm in Halfords, but they've run out of Os. Do you know anywhere with Os? #
- Got me a bike carrier and light board. Where can I get a number plate today? #
- Milk. Chocolate. Hobnobs. #
- Home from a 63 hour working week, and I'm sat watching Yogi Bear (the film) with the kids. It's not wholly without amusement. Plus Hobnobs. #

- Anyone in L&M area want this table? I like it but it has to go, and I'd rather not tip it. Saturday deadline… http://twitpic.com/64ipgn #
- @fleming77 Good suggestion! I think the south coast might be a chance at some dry, warm weather, Weymouth does look nice. #
- Apparently, I'm on holiday next week. Have tent, will travel, but where? Is there *anywhere* in the UK expecting anything other than rain? #
- Finally home following an 03:30 – 18:20 shift on 5 hours sleep. Aw, diddums, are you a bit ti-ti? Well, stfu and go to sleep. But you won't. #
- So. I've got to be in the office at 03:30. What should I do when I get home at about 20:30, try and get some sleep, or pull an all-nighter? #
- It's grim (weather) oop North. Maybe that's why the 17:30 out of Euston is so unusually quiet. #
- @Pete_Eaton Been off the grid, but I was going to let you know there are places at The Sands right now. Is that where she's going? #
- Over night shift has now shifted to Wednesday, and Lancaster. Heading away from riot-arrestee destination of choice, Guildford, to Horsley. #

- I really like the album, but I'm still surprised to see the Kitchens promoting the re-issue of their 1994 effort so lavishly. James Bond! #
- .@campdave I'm pretty sure now they weren't seeking vandals, it must have been an excuse to try & flush terrorists, or something. Why else? #
- @janlbuxton Nah, I think it's his dad. The officer at the door exhibited no self-awareness whatsoever. The cuts are clearly just a myth. #
- The Police came knocking on earlier, house-to-house. Had we seen anything Thurs night, a neighbour's windscreen wiper had been bent? Huh!? #
- Yes, I dream of being a family who can be up and out by 6am in order to make the best of the day. That's what was needed this weekend. #
- A slightly more leisurely than planned breakfast, then. The thunder, if not the rain, has nixed this mornings planned ride with Toby. #

- @campdave If nothing else, the prices of the current models should come down, as you say. #

- @campdave It's the refurb 3G at 115 which is tempting me. Didn't know there was a new one soon, what will be the difference, do you know? #
- Just checked the weather forecast for the weekend. Feeling sad, and a little bit cross with the BBC for their disregard for my feelings. #
- Oh, having just caught up on my timeline, I guess @Girlonatrain thinks I should get one so I can enjoy the customer service experience. #
