1 May 2011 08:34:25

@domwakeling @jorence But to be fair, bought the 305 mostly for heart rate monitor and better battery life for half marathons. So...

1 May 2011 08:35:18

@jorence @domwakeling ...will be fine; will use RunKeeper plus the 305 for heart monitor, and not allowed headphones on most halves anyway!

1 May 2011 08:36:21

@domwakeling Bath Half definitely bans. Probably because it's a two-lap course so there's more chance of you inconveniencing someone faster!

1 May 2011 08:39:26

@domwakeling Then again, I've never ended up using headphones for actual races -- lose too much of the helpful crowd atmosphere!

1 May 2011 08:40:44

@domwakeling Maybe I just tend to interpret "please don't do this" as a ban, in my head.

1 May 2011 08:43:48

@jorence @domwakeling I'd like to try running with headphones less, but it really helped me in the beginning, so I'm quite attached to it.

1 May 2011 08:46:27

@jorence @domwakeling Probably because I used #getrunning, so I needed to have headphones in anyway!

@tweeny4 People keep telling me those spongey straps are good. Really must try one!

1 May 2011 09:00:13

@SimonPeevers Like I said, I've never really felt the need for them on an actual race. Odd, because I really do when I'm training.

1 May 2011 09:01:20

@SimonPeevers I guess it's because I find the atmosphere quite encouraging at big races, and feels like the headphones cut me off from it.

1 May 2011 09:01:44

@matthew_roach Cool, ta!

1 May 2011 09:10:43

@SimonPeevers So far, only doing the biggies. Bristol 10K & half. Might be convinced into a fun run here or there :)

1 May 2011 09:11:34

@mikeotaylor @simonpeevers I'll do it as long as there's a fair chance I won't come last :)

1 May 2011 09:16:49

@mikeotaylor Looks good to me! (Don't really mind if I do come last; just dispiriting to know in advance that it's foregone conclusion!)

1 May 2011 09:29:34

@mikeotaylor @SimonPeevers Ta! Have just traced your trail to turn into a RunKeeper route :) http://bit.ly/jJ8274

1 May 2011 10:30:05

Woo hoo! hoo! hoo! I'm going to the zoo! zoo! zoo!

1 May 2011 10:47:26

@BlackDogDays :D

1 May 2011 10:52:39

@bexxi Well, I'm guessing the person drilling and hammering is doing something that's actually _necessary_...

1 May 2011 11:07:39

Tacking lazily up the hill to the zoo. @ Clifton Suspension Bridge http://instagr.am/p/DvpTc/

Thought the man walking toward me was in some kind of official uniform. Turned out his "70 Today!" badge just goes well with his jumper! :)

1 May 2011 11:41:38

Just fed the lorikeets :)

That moment when kids visit and you realise your flat is about as child-friendly as a booby-trapped temple in an Indiana Jones movie.

1 May 2011 17:51:12

@tsunimee Working for me. Maybe Twitpic was just having a funny five minutes. It is a bit rubbish.

1 May 2011 17:51:31

@hayles Well, maybe the rotating knives.

1 May 2011 17:53:18

Also, two-year-olds have a Steven Segal-like ability to turn any everyday household object into a deadly weapon.

1 May 2011 17:54:28

@hayles :D

1 May 2011 17:54:58

@hayles Also, I have no idea how this huge rolling boulder got into my flat.

1 May 2011 17:55:44

@guriben It's amazing, isn't it? Am astounded we generally make it to seven, let alone seventy.

1 May 2011 18:58:14

@mikeotaylor @SimonPeevers By hand. Think I could've done it by uploading a track, but for 5K it was probably just as easy to click a bit!

1 May 2011 19:01:59

@shezza_t Oh yes. And there were two of them. Double menace!

1 May 2011 19:39:08

Wot you lookin' at? http://twitpic.com/4s2hm1

1 May 2011 20:19:42

@martingoode Er... I thought the Vatican _was_ a country?

1 May 2011 21:22:24

@kate_butler Ironically, though, you were right. I guess @_spell has an American dictionary.

1 May 2011 22:19:08

@Kate_Butler Yeah, it's one of the few bots where I've thought, "ooh, that's quite a nice idea..."

1 May 2011 22:23:29

@rhodri Hmm. Wonder where the millions were wasted. Buying a lot of Polyfilla, maybe?

1 May 2011 22:29:10

2010

@anildash Purple. I think.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

Morning all! Writing in the backyard for the first time this year. Yay! http://twitpic.com/1jwain

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@panic Thanks, a simple re-launch (no Opt) seemed to fix it. Now to try remember what my lost "Synchronise Folder" actions were set to do!

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@panic Incidentally, don't get the wrong impression; I'm sure Transmit 4 is fab; just need to get over the "Argh! Change is bad!" hump :)

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@csoanes Sterling suggestion, sir. Best self-help book I could get her, I think!

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@hayles Yes, I'd want to wait until at least 2075.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

I don't give myself enough credit for my achievements. On Thursday, I actually bought a perfectly ripe avocado from a supermarket.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@hayles I, however, will be 102, and probably beyond caring.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

RT @kevcecil: Remember to take advantage of canvassing politicians this weekend. They WILL go to Homebase or put up a basic Billy bookca ...

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@bananza Let me guess: significantly more than a morning's worth? #metoo

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@caitlinmoran Strikes me there's probably a market for fashionable foldable sick-bags. Accessories for Real Women.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@Nose_in_a_book May your spoons be long and plentiful.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

Mmmm. BTP FTW. http://twitpic.com/1jxwxt

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@RichNeville No, if you stick all the king-size Rizlas in a multipack together, they end up the same size as a king-size quilt. Try it.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@RichNeville My humble apologies. I must've been thinking of Highland Skins and kilts.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

There seem to be tons of police in Bristol today. They can't all be here for Kerry McCarthy.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@hayles Hmm. No kitten. So far.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

Enjoying the post-#boobquake feminism discussion http://www.blaghag.com/2010/05/why-boobquake-isnt-destroying-feminism.html

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@KaveyF Bow before my mighty powers, for I am the Avocadonator!

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@wshed Free croissants? Why aren't I on _that_ mailing list?

1 May 2010 00:00:00

Okay. Today I have slept in, gone to a physio appointment, had lunch, and had a power-nap. It may be time to Do Something.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@KaveyF Yes. If you come within throwing distance and stand still. For lo, I am actually the Avocadodetonator.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@KaveyF It's possible that my nomenclature has gone pear-shaped.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@kshack22 It's funny you should say that. http://twitpic.com/1k0ghy

1 May 2010 00:00:00

I'm videoing #drwho, but can someone record my Twitter feed, too, so I can play them back together? Ta.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@hayles Actually, that's my reality, right now. http://twitpic.com/1k0svl

1 May 2010 00:00:00

Mmmm! Picturehouse! Crumble! Mmmmm! http://twitpic.com/1k23cr

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@hayles Shh!

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@kaveyf Put The Picturehouse on your list of Bristol restaurants to try, hon. I need to go back there :)

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@bexxi all of mine have some kind of either spellcheck or predictive text that includes kinda-spellcheck.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

@bexxi ...though last time I looked, Tweetdeck only had US English, which is one of many reasons I stopped using it.

1 May 2010 00:00:00

2009

It's been a long two weeks, and I've been cooking healthy food almost every night. _Tonight_, I'm going with pizza and chocolate.

1 May 2009 00:00:00

@iphonefool Am designing new banner for renamed company magazine (the whole company just re-branded.)

1 May 2009 00:00:00

@Narshada Yes, absolutely am, but annoying busy over next couple of weeks. Hopefully things will relax a bit after that.

1 May 2009 00:00:00

@chrismarquardt Cool! Have a splendid adventure...

1 May 2009 00:00:00

In the process of doing my very first piece of design work for someone else. And already experiencing client-related pain ;)

1 May 2009 00:00:00

2007

Taking the car in for its MOT. Working on website while I'm there :)
