- @idiotjohnson …not sure if that's a feature or a bug, or why it changed. Just something to be aware of. #
- @idiotjohnson It works really well, but it's changed recently so it overwrites the previous one each day – used to have the date appended… #

- And so it begins… http://t.co/7tIcfyzx #
- @idiotjohnson I get into trouble with his mum for sending him up. She says it's cruel, I say it wasn't ever proven that's what did me harm. #

- listening to Florence & The Machine. It's OK, I can turn it off whenever I like, nobody's got a gun to my head. But I have one on standby. #
- @iMacstu Probably not I'm afraid, Stu. They've not been landing well for me these Twancasters – family stuff @dartogreen @Ralpharama @sianio #
- "…at the bottom of the steps and across the cobbled courtyard". Aldi also sell access for the disabled cheaply. http://t.co/Jxs7gs8O #
- What am I like!? Realised as I was preparing for bed I had no idea where my 'phone was! Misplaced, again! It was in the car. What am I like! #
- Whatever happened to Little Boots? #
- Took a while but feeling much recovered from last night's revels & subsequent 2 am 'phone loss/recovery escapade in the pissy, frigid night. #
- Will you make up your mind!? http://t.co/On8ZhZ2o A lack of clarity on the signage at Lancaster golf club. #

- @SharonMcG1971 There are tablets for learning things now? Ace! Can I have a course of 'social skillz' and a dose of 'so, you wanna sudoku'? #
- @SharonMcG1971 You could say I was at the *weeing* edge of fashion! Hahahahhhahahahahaahhhahahahahahaha! Haha! #avantgarderobe #
- A bow tie that is, not a piece of piss. #
- Reminding myself how to tie a bow tie, in advance of needing to actually tie one tomorrow. Piece of piss. Might start wearing them for work. #
- @DrBizzarro I just called Jamie a hooermaster. That was 10 minutes ago & the first tear is still running down his massive, hooermaster face. #
- Can anyone lend me some swear words? I've used all mine up watching Jamie Oliver. #moon #faced #cock #
- Gesundheit + Rente is now following you on Twitter! <= Pardon? #
- @Yorkie71 Thanks, it's always a broken down truck, we need a bypass to keep them out of our town! #
- Sat in a car park having had to pull over to do a teleconference, thanks to broken Lancaster traffic. What happened this time? #
- Although, the bridge playing oldsters are seriously getting on my tits. #
- (The IT manager's, and the prof. of Scottish Lit. (apart from his mental disorder)) #
- Watching Money on BBC2. Now, which family do I despise the most? Which party am I most jealous of? #
- William in Xmas play mode. His line was, "She needs some of Santa's magic glue". Don't we all..? http://t.co/ocnQ4Ey7 #
- You know I hate to ask, but is there any way we can put Xmas back a week or so, give me chance to catch up with a couple of things? Ta. #

- …so, an ep or 2 of Arrested Development, then to bed with a book. #xfactor #
- Would love to have done Stealing Sheep & @Ottersgear, but too much to do, & I apparently have the same meeting organiser as @SharonMcG1971. #
- I'm listening to The Horrors. I need to check the T&Cs to find out if I'm allowed to like them, but I do. http://t.co/plSKGZ4S #xfactor #
- Whose bright idea was it to make the lids for the mustard and the mayonnaise jars IDENTICAL!!?? The jars themselves are dissimilar. #xfactor #

- Out doing the Scout Post. I guarantee that the recipients enjoyed squabbling boys shouting through their letter boxes. http://t.co/fZmltH9o #
- @Pete_Eaton @Dan_Whittaker_ What is it, what is it, what is it!? #
- Just reviewing an ep. of Later… from October. Bon Iver with some great tracks from that album. Must give it another spin now I'm older. #
- @ukuleleboy @christiancable Mine too… DLing now. #

- Manchester United have a wap site – how quaint. #
- Next, cornflakes with hot milk, then a heavy not-xmas shopping trip with the credit card. On the list: PVR (Humax), new PC, fish tank. #
- Uni fettling in a freezing shed, numb fingers. Swapped in 137 cranks to the 29er. Here's a dull blog from last time: http://t.co/t0PYiorz #

- Oops. Embarrassing and debilitating Google Calendar error: A meeting update to change the start time is interpreted as a cancellation. D'oh! #
- Master Chef then Kevin McCloud's Grand Design, all while tasking over papers & netbook in the living room w/wine. Because the PC is bust. #
- Seriously. That Nikon 1 is going to get smashed to pieces *before* I see someone using it. #
- Problem with teleconferences: If I scratch my ear, I leave the meeting. #
- @marieiram Oddly, some people in the office were talking about Ayr today. They didn't know how to spell it. Very pretty. #
- @idiotjohnson The drummer. #
- I'm now being told that we shouldn't bring back the death penalty – because it's too humane. #
- Members of the Torrisholme iBad Club flicking the beetle. http://t.co/tqfjID7D #
- I'm in The Merchants for the iBad xmas cerebration. We're so bad at socialising, flick the beetle has occupied most of the night. #
- @Pete_Eaton Small Gods!? American Gods, obviously. I'm not small enough. #
- @Pete_Eaton Innit just. I see now why you did Small Gods with it. Amazon US bastards wouldn't let me have it though. I'm not American enough #
- @idiotjohnson I didn't think you went to work that much these days anyway. Just keep telling yourself "I'm a warlock, I'm a warlock". Magic. #
- I guess this is the type of thing they mean when they tell me "just do some magic" to make it work. http://t.co/vuKPjeNh #Kindle #
- @marieiram @TimGow I think we have a large enough support network on here to ensure it will be unmissable. It may even be repeated. #
- That Nikon 1 is a right smug bastard. It'll have to stay more than one step ahead of me or I'm going to kick the living images out of it. #
- @P9ADV Interesting, why did you leave the scene, so to speak? #
- @TimGow Nor did I. I was aware of his Hopi clown fascination, but not this particular folk oddity. Should be interesting to hear his take. #
- @P9ADV I don't know! I'm interested in hearing about English folk heritage though, and a documentary by Stewart Lee has to be worth a listen #
- Someone remind me. #
- IT'S GOT BELLS ON – Stewart Lee explores and celebrates…the morris and other traditional English dances. R2 Mon 12th Dec 10.00 -11.00pm #
- Ah, that explains why my dates were out – it's the Seamonsters 21st anniversary tour, not 20th! Homfirth! 26th August! http://t.co/yuupVM3I #

- @marieiram I know! A hidden gem in the heart of Lancaster. You can keep yer Whale Tale. #
- Our nights out are getting very sophisticated. Here we have @kjcos999 & @Dan_Whittaker_ dining in style. http://t.co/5CNvCbl7 #
- I don't remember Gal bringing his dad out last night, but I just found this picture, so I guess he must have. http://t.co/YeI1Ag1C #
- Ah, back to the Sunday routine. Swimming this morning, back home for brunch, maybe a walk or the park, then roast dinner. #
- Out with the boys. http://t.co/Dcf91Lzc #
- A recent listen: Black Kids – Listen To Your Body Tonight http://t.co/05fECr8D http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
- Jesus! Time to get ready to hit the town for japes with @jabe666, @Dan_Whittaker_, @UraGraymalkin, @kjcos999, and Gal. Where's the day gone? #
- @nickebbitt No idea if that would work. I would guess not, though – won't it be looking for a sat dish connection, not an aerial input? #
- What a pain losing Swype for even a few hours turned out to be. Had to completely reinstall. New version looks tidy, though. #
- @campdave Thanks – a brand I've looked at before. Actually bought one for my m&d in the past. I didn't get one b/c I was penny pinching! #
- Driving along listening to MBV with a rainbow before me. It's like being in a fickle time machine which can't decide on my personal epoch. #
- @Yorkie71 Cheers, I'll await with interest. #
- I need a new Freeview PVR. The current one was always appalling and gets worse, so I won't be touching Sagem again. What's good out there? #
- My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: A.A. Bondy (10), Los Campesinos! (6) & A classic education (6) http://t.co/B3JMcXi9 #
- Ah. Grudge match on #HIGNFY Love watching Merton ripping into Brandreth. Well, anyone ripping into Brandreth, really. #
- @Yorkie71 Uh huh. I was just reviewing my Flickr stream to remember the date. That's when I first bumped into you! http://t.co/zJttkwt8 #
- @Yorkie71 Nice one, it really is a cracking shot. Wonder if we'll get it like that again this season. Hope so. #
- A recent listen: Los Campesinos! – Hate For The Island http://t.co/gPLGQ3tz http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
- @Pete_Eaton I'd like to dig out one of my old JD ones, but I think that, even if I could find one in the loft, it wouldn't take the weight. #
- Friday is Wear Your Old Band T-Shirt To Work Day. We, coincidentally, I assume, have a dress down day. http://t.co/1v3bgXqM #6musictshirtday #
- @Yorkie71 We have 9: the boys have 3 each (including a PlayMobil) and a shared 'permanent' calendar; Veronica has 2. I hope that's it. #
- @DrBizzarro Now, it still wouldn't have been funny, but it would have given us carte blanche to, you know, strike the fucker down. #
- @DrBizzarro He is hella unfunny. He could have said, "Strike? Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." #
- @idiotjohnson Ah, the unacceptable face of right-wing motor journalism. He should have stuck to destroying the planet with fun little races. #
- What did Clarkson do? I take it it wasn't a good thing. Like dying, or coming out in full support of the unions. #
- A recent listen: Kate Bush – Lake Tahoe http://t.co/t5Wx6fak http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
- @CookieMcBride @ukuleleboy Yeah, Wes was saying how he's a big supporter of The Corrs & would be demonstrating it in Dalton Square tomorrow. #
- @facey I now can't get that Gene song out of my head. #
- @watsoncomedian I think someone's going to need a little afternoon nap if they're to avoid being cranky at work later on. I mean you. #
- So the series of True Blood you've buried away at 23:10 on a Tuesday night is, in fact, new. Well, screw you, C4, don't bother telling me. #
- Listening to @ukuleleboy and @CookieMcBride on @DiversityFM. Quite surprised they're both into The Corrs. Not very 'Off the Beaten Tracks'. #
- @idiotjohnson That is correct. I am no longer sarcastic. #
- @marieiram …plus new, non-free, passport pics? #
- Xmas eve sorted: tix for The BFG at @TheDukesTheatre booked, so lunch in town, BFG, then the carol service in the village. Hope it snows. #
- @idiotjohnson @janlbuxton Yeah, 4 tracks! In a week! That's not keen, that's obsessed! #
- RT @DHNewHawks If you want flacs or empeethrees of our our brand new Static Caravan 7" please see here http://t.co/0PjtzNO9) #
- In a frankly inexplicable change of fortune, I find myself not only on the 17:30 from Euston (2 hours gained), but also with a seat. #
- @Pete_Eaton @Dan_Whittaker_ Man mushrooms. On toast. No, I don't have *everything* on toast. #
- Fire alarm. Great. #
