  • @Yorkie71 Fortunately, it wasn't that muddy along the whole route. It was hard work, though! Sounds like you've had a good half-term, too. #

  • I like TV and talking, just not the TV and talking that are happening in my Living Room at the moment. #
  • I really must spend more time in my bedroom, listening to music & reading. Living rooms are shit; you just end up watching TV & talking. #

  • Vagabonds & scoundrels! We wuz robbed! Well, it was close in a few games, and maybe the rub went against us. Anyway, we went down 11-7 #iBad #
  • @booksaregood I need more time. Also, regular reminders that I'm actually reading it, so that I remember to actually read it. #
  • @marieiram @UraGraymalkin Is the ESP/BSP gig a thing then? Am I going? Do I need to let 'the others' down? #
  • @idiotjohnson …in fact, I'm thinking I might contact my tweeting out. Know anyone who tweets? #
  • @idiotjohnson No, of course not. I'll be tweeting for a welder later. I'm not a doer, I'm an enabler. #
  • More begging: I need about 3 or 4 inches of MTB handlebar, or any steel tubing at 22 mm, really. Needs to be weldable and fit a bar end. #
  • @idiotjohnson You've made that up. You've got soap on the brain. #
  • @Dan_Whittaker_ Nope. It's not the fuse, the socket is broken. I have a replacement, but not the wherewithal to disassemble the facia. #

  • Busy day, thankfully, I hate being off work & doing nowt. It's William's birthday… I haven't got any present unwrapping pics that are safe #
  • @spgmutts @katyskyewalker Don't worry, major hold ups from minor lane closures will be a thing of the past, once the new bypass is built. #
  • @mrkchmbrs @campdave Lucky it's half-term. Plus, I would guess plenty are shying away from travelling to Lancaster after the w/e experience. #
  • @reddeerclub Of course! Now I just need to work out whether it's setting up a nice patio area, or getting the halls ready for Xmas. #
  • Hey, TweetDeck, if you're not showing me my tweets, what the hell are you doing? #
  • Hmmm, I'm enjoying this stuffed-crust from Pizza Hut. Well worth the extra 1.50, and healthy, too! http://t.co/gSdXpZA3 #
  • @idiotjohnson Good point. I got round the dilemma by leaving. How are you enjoying yours, btw? Not christening, Kindle. Did you get a case? #
  • Do not run, and punch this machine. Two pieces of advice the vicar might well have given the child. http://t.co/UbPb0sie #
  • @DrBizzarro Oh, no need for signs, I knew I didn't want to be here, I'm just being the supportive family man, presenting a united front, etc #
  • I talked to a person! I is well social. #
  • Bear in mind that I'm already sat here tweeting on my phone anyway. #
  • Modern etiquette dilemma: I'm at a christening party. I'm only the partner of the university friend. Is it acceptable to get my Kindle out? #
  • @UraGraymalkin On the bright side, I have my Kindle in my jacket. #
  • I'm in Coventry for a christening. A five hour round trip for a half hour service and an hour in a dreary function room. #

  • @jabe666 @uragraymalkin Sounds good. #
  • @UraGraymalkin Suits me. Hahahahahahahaha. Anyway, it's @jabe666 you need to discuss timing with. #
  • @campdave @mrkchmbrs Those roadworks have actually ruined my weekend. #
  • @jabe666 @UraGraymalkin No idea – about 7 or something? At the risk of sounding like a dick, what are you all wearing? Black tie, or suit? #
  • @mrkchmbrs @campdave I understand there are roadworks in the vicinity of Skerton Bridge. Started today, don't know when they end. #argh #
  • @UraGraymalkin @jabe666 @Dan_Whittaker_ Silly headgear and no pants will suit @kjcos999 very nicely. Who's picking me up? #
  • @kevmcveigh I have no idea. I'm going to have to read it again. #

  • Traffic into Lancaster utterly broken on all approaches. Was going to work but it's not happening. Sat at Denny Beck pondering unicycling in #
  • @kjcos999 Okay, but what's the thing? Masquerade? Black tie? Dressing up optional? #
  • @jabe666 @uragraymalkin I'm up for it if I'm invited and someone explains the premise properly. And tells me what time it's happening. #
  • @UraGraymalkin I don't have a mask. I am, however, a member of the golf club, so can go where I please on the premises at any time. #
  • @UraGraymalkin I'm sorry, I didn't realise you did tweet. Are you being coy about the 30th party you started telling me about last week? #
  • @Mizzuks I'm being told it's filmed at 6.45pm Thursday, and that Gaddafi was killed yesterday afternoon. #
  • @janlbuxton Ah, that makes sense then. I thought the Gaddafi news was overnight, but I was out of touch with the news yesterday. Obviously. #
  • @UraGraymalkin 140 chars is loads, so here're 2 things: a) Thoughts on Horse Guards Parade album? b) Is there a party I should know about? #
  • Eh? I thought #HIGNFY was filmed on a Thursday night. When did the news of Gaddafi's (not evil, remember) death break, yesterday? #
  • @Yorkie71 @UraGraymalkin ZOMG! Where is it poking its 'hose'? #
  • @campdave @Yorkie71 I can understand them wanting to avail Plus, but how can it need more than a new option in the share list? #

  • My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Butthole Surfers (17), R.E.M. (11) & Summer Camp (10) http://t.co/B3JMcXi9 #
  • JuiceDefender on my Desire has doubled my battery life (per its reported stats, and empirically). The cost: It's killed my Twitter use. #
  • @jabe666 @UraGraymalkin @kjcos999 @Dan_Whittaker_ Yes, but I'm not available (sad face emoticon) #
  • @marieiram The lyric is, "life's a bag of revels, I'm looking for the orange one…" Now, who's seen my polar bear? @Pete_Eaton @dartogreen #
  • @dartogreen I'm looking for the orange one. #
  • No, hold on, they're funsized. Precisely the size of fun. #
  • Tucking into some custard-filled mini-doughnuts I bagged from Booth's. Reduced to clear, 34 pence from 1.39! http://t.co/JEkA7MRC #
  • @SharonMcG1971 It's most of the way between Lancaster and Euston, too. I blame Virgin rail. I reckon they block it to increase wi-fi sales. #
  • A recent listen: Wilco – Born Alone http://t.co/8G3GNyx6 http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
  • A recent listen: Wilco – Black Moon http://t.co/dFG0I11N http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
  • Lawks! Born Alone by Wilco is good – #lastfm http://t.co/BRO2pvVd #
  • Bloody hell! Have you seen Uranus?! Look to the East. Or is it the police helicopter? I seriously can't tell. #
  • @ukuleleboy Which one are you doing? #
  • @campdave …or I may find I don't really need a kb/3g (yeah, right). Hey, is the new one a touch screen? I didn't notice. #
  • @campdave I'm thinking to get an £89 one, then maybe get a 3g model later. Sounds extravagant, but the 1st could end up a family unit… #
  • @campdave How are you enjoying yours? Would the absence of a keyboard be a problem for you? Will probably buy the new one, but would like 3g #
  • @campdave It's odd. Maybe they can't get the free, worldwide whispersync-over-3g plan to stack up commercially on such a data-hungry device? #
  • New Kindle, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display, £89 – Get to the back of the queue! http://t.co/K0Zy7Tcw #kindle #stampede #
  • @Girlonatrain I think I know why IJ has been forgetting words tonight. I looked at this and now I have lost all the words. Except, "Fuck". #
  • A recent listen: R.E.M. – Shaking Through http://t.co/utY3hhvk http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
  • @idiotjohnson Fuck. #
  • @SharonMcG1971 Cirrus Uncinus, nice. Odd actually – there are lots about, but the forecast is dry and settled for several days. #
  • @emma_g_1979 Raise a family. The 3rd best place to raise a family. It's one of the worst places to live, coz of all the smug families… #
  • @campdave Oh yes. Quite impressed to find most of them on Spotify. Fancying the Ben Leftwich gig, will possibly see Summer Camp. #
  • A recent listen: Summer Camp – Why Don't You Stay http://t.co/GFEPWCLn http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
  • "Mazda Canada (@mazdacanada) is now following you on Twitter!". Pardon? #
  • @janlbuxton But I've got a note from my mum! #
  • RT @Yorkie71 Crook O'Lune cycle track to re-open soon with temporary surface. http://t.co/kxlYy5gj #
  • E-Tix for Marble Valley booked, @marieiram & @UraGraymalkin. Yes, I know you thought I'd already bought them. http://t.co/4N4uNaxO #
  • "Morecambe FC added you on Google+". Pardon? #
  • @IzzyVonCount My god! You look terrible! #
  • @IzzyVonCount If it's any consolation, and I don't see why it should be, we spend most of our time swearing at or re-booting our box, too. #
  • @idiotjohnson Album reminder – aren't you supposed to be working on one? You could call it 'Idiot Johnson Doesn't Know His Onions'. #
  • @IzzyVonCount Not exactly. I was going to explain how a digital recording can have jumps in the playback, but it wasn't remotely amusing. #
  • Thanks Album Reminder, totally over-looked that the new Wilco album is out now. Thought it wasn due in October… http://t.co/b2fAcZTQ #
