- @idiotjohnson You seem to have forgotten house shopping, which is undoubtedly less fun than car shopping. Somehow. I might 'spam you', yes. #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ Smallish Volvo estate, tow bar, roof rack, cd player and cigarette lighter. That's the entire list of requirements. #
- The nights are drawing in, what. Hey, my car is generally very broken so I need a new one. Anyone like car shopping? Want to do so for me? #

- A recent listen: Slow Club – The Dog http://t.co/ds3ZrMlj http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
- @BlueVanMan I don't recall ever having tried to open the door with the key directly. Could be CL fail, but what would the fob know of that? #
- @BlueVanMan I have only one key, the ignition. It fits the driver's door, but won't turn. No other door has a key hole! #crystalmaze #
- @BlueVanMan Thanks, but, frustratingly, no sliding thing and no slot. #
- So, I probably need to get a person in. Do I need to get a person in? What sort of person would I get? Multi-skilled, presumably. #
- @idiotjohnson I thought that, but the fob flashes red where it's usually green, and it knows nothing of the car. New batts, no difference. #
- I'd like to go out, but my waterproof coat is on the passenger seat. #
- I only found out the key fob wasn't working because I needed to change the tyre, which I noticed is flat because it has a nail in it. #
- Further, the key doesn't fit the door so I can't open the car at all. This is the ignition key – wtf wouldn't it open the driver's door? #
- My one and only key fob for the Laguna has mysteriously stopped working. It's not the batteries, it's just flashing red instead of green. #
- @campdave I didn't have cake, but I did buy a bag from Rebecca. They were really ace, and I told her. Did you catch Sweet Baboo? #

- Oh yeah, just remembered – I have a new niece today. Erin Rose, born by c-section (planned) at RLI at about 17:00. Been there, done that. #
- @Yorkie71 @vsmith1 Just stumbled on it as I was surfing, happy to spread the wealth. #
- Seems to be Pink Floyd night on BBC4, if anyone's interested. @Yorkie71? #
- @theglove78 Pretend that the fizzy vimto is cheeky vimto? Auto-suggestion can be very powerful, probably. #
- @theglove78 That's more than I'll have soon, the rate I'm quaffing this Black Sheep. Orangina?! Didn't they stop selling that in 1982? #
- @campdave That's the one I'm on. I've no idea why I'm still watching. It feels like I'm playing prisoners' dilemma with Russell T. Davies. #
- With only 2 beers in the fridge, the only question is in which order to drink them – Riggwelter at 5.7 first, or Marshmellow, at 4.7. Easy. #
- Been watching Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, which is self-aware, witty & literate. Now the kids have gone to bed it's Torchwood #downhill #
- @UraGraymalkin None. We are poorly served locally for such outlets. Maybe Toys R Us in Preston. Or the internet. Sorry. Lmk if you find one. #
- @Pete_Eaton Pardon? #
- A recent listen: Marble Valley – Sunset Sprinkler 2 http://t.co/hspkLVgj http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
- @drbizzarro Not so surprising – people are always talking bollocks on #r4today not such a stretch to saying it. #
- @marieiram Yeah, I can sort tix – same night as Herman Dune at Islington Mill, but for £4 quid and in Preston, Marble Valley edge it…. #
- @marieiram No, not bought tix – remind me when/where it is. Lots of gigs I need to sort out… #
- @idiotjohnson I insisted that they finish up to *at least* level 12 of Lego Star Wars on the x box before they were allowed to go to bed. #
- Left work 'early' and went to Happy Mount Park with the kids to enjoy the sunshine and freedom. Most enjoyable couple of hours claimed back. #

- @marieiram Any time you like, the weekend sometime would be fine, except Saturday night when I shall be at Slow Club. #
- No, it was some kids' website. Try finding a single, offending, music playing page across 3 browsers, each with 15 tabs open. Now, reading. #
- I can hear the Coronation Street theme music. #
- @marieiram I think it starts late September, I'll find out. Ace. Thank you. #
- @marieiram Thanks! That would be rather good – it would only be for a short while, I expect. He'll either stop, or we'd buy him one if not. #
- @SharonMcG1971 See, we're SO not The 'A' Team! You damn crazy! Watch out for the cabbages! #
- @Dan_Whittaker_ I expect he'd need a small one, yes. Do you think it worth bothering for a 25 minute a week lunch club he fancies on a whim? #
- @idiotjohnson Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm afraid I can't accept. #
- @BeBopAJulia I think borrowing is a long shot, you never know though. You getting yourself one, then? #
- @SharonMcG1971 No, you've misread it. It's a team. You damn fool. #

- Toby wants to go to guitar club at school, but needs his own guitar. What should I do? Buy one, try to borrow one, put him off? #

- @booksaregood Erm, forget about the thing with the list, I see you do have one… Good work! #
- @booksaregood Are you going to set up/do you have a twitter list of all those involved in the book club for ease of following? #
- @idiotjohnson I noticed you had a large amount of activity on some of those entries. Assumed you were offering cash for comments. #
- Just got caught up in my tumblr feed. The Android app is really top notch for that. Some great photos from @idiotjohnson & @dartogreen. #
- Oh, that's strange, I didn't know it was going to do that – that last uncredited tweet was a tumblr re-blog of an @idiotjohnson creation… #
