Idle time. https://t.co/VuT1Im2OPl
@Birdmaster777 It really is. Someone (@TimClarePoet?) mentioned it in a podcast the other day and I realised it had been far too long since I read it.
@danielpunkass Can you put something in the picture for scale? An armchair, maybe, or a small naval frigate?
@ovationchris Ambience aside, is the food in Bento Boss still ace? Was just thinking how I’d not been for ages.
@dangusset Me too. Then again, I think the follower count *and* the mental illness may just be symptoms of the underlying problem: hanging out on Twitter for twelve sodding years.
@psidnell Christ.
@ovationchris Cool, thanks!

@extractcoffee Say, folks, is there anywhere near North Street I can buy bags of your Original Espresso beans? Ta!
@extractcoffee Sadly, think @Marks_Bread only sell Strangelove. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just prefer Original :)
@jukesie Hotels often let you leave a case with them before check-in. (Also, some big stations still have left luggage offices.)
@_pigeons_ Could have been, yeah—not as obviously hole-punched, though. Didn't come out in my pictures as far as I can see...
@adamgasson Thanks! Yes, I’ve no problem with the hill per se; I just do most of my shopping on North Street these days :) @extractcoffee
Fixing a light leak. Hopefully. http://t.co/Ac5kWVH6Ch

@EssexEating There's a raki thing tonight? I'll try to be very quiet in the morning. #τσικουδιά
@extractcoffee Yes, I really must pop in and say hi at some point! Wrong side of town for my regular shop, sadly :(
@ahnlak There's probably a plugin for that. *ducks*
@ahnlak I know what you mean, though. I do quite often find myself despairing and then coding stuff by hand.
@ahnlak I use a couple of paid plugins, and they've both been worth it.
@ahnlak Not sure I've ever experienced that, but I look for plugins a lot less these days.
@ahnlak Oh, Jesus. Yeah. But it's a very hard job, because there's so much potential for dodgy interactions with the theme.
@ahnlak (NextGEN was the least worst last time I checked, but it's been a while.)

@Bristol_Culture Is it their fireworks night tonight?

Need to go down to Marcruss Stores later. Maybe I can combine that with lunch at The Galley...
@mhoulden Is that a rhetorical question?
@BlackDogDays MmmmmmmmmmmMMmMMMMMMmmmMmmMMMMMMmmmmMM
@mikedunn Jeepers. I'm buying a knife. I hate to think what extras they'll offer me...
@mikedunn Could happen. I'm convinced they've got one of those buttons they can push where the display spin round to reveal illegal gear.
Right. Harbourside walk, methinks.
@waiyeehong At any given moment, 33% of £1 coins are in the trouser pockets of men with hangovers who don't remember using all their notes.
@waiyeehong Or maybe that's just me.

RT @IanMartin: Oh man, these space mission pictures. From a time when everything seemed possible. Stunning. http://t.co/CjRq7ohE
@mikedunn Luckily the tiny knife I wanted was too paltry for the Big Knives And Guns bloke, so he sent me upstairs to Camping.
@BlackDogDays Green tea and frittata for me, as it turned out. Up for Galley lunch one day now I'm back working from home? @msmottram
Wow. It's quarter to three and I've basically done nothing. Hurrah for Saturdays!
@MsMottram @blackdogdays YUM.
Yes. @missemmeline is carving a wooden spoon out of a branch in my living room. Standard Saturday night. http://t.co/SG1Cyxf4
@mikedunn It's a bit less scary. With fewer people wearing jungle camouflage.
@BlackDogDays @msmottram I can do Monday after next.

@BlackDogDays So did I. Went for a morning ramble around Cliftonwood. Lovely little area, isn't it?
@BlackDogDays Between 7 and 8. There was still milk on the doorsteps :) It was lush: http://t.co/H309WQjz (More photos in my stream.)

@simoneats It is, if you've had the practice :) You been given the wrong keys, then? Happened to a couple of people I know on moving day!
Think it's time to block the Daily Mail website on my home network. Just too easy to click on a link (and therefore give them money.)
@hayles I think I'd rather block the text as well, in the case of the Daily Mail.

@njj4 Heh. Wonder if there's a Safari version...
@BlackDogDays I didn't get to either of those! The shoepots were on Cliftonwood Crescent. Need to explore a bit more next time...
@BlackDogDays I think I skipped Ambrose Road by going straight up Ambra Vale, by the looks of it.
@BlackDogDays But I did end up walking past the Lion.

@ruskin147 I mean, it just sounds remarkably familiar: http://bit.ly/9R79dE
@hayles Oh, I see. We just have too many, apparently. @Thehappyfatgirl
@tsunimee ...and I hardly ever eat biscuits or sweets unless they're handed around at work.
@tsunimee Generally, only buy one or two rolls/enough cheese for one meal at a time. Never buy more than one pack crisps...
@tsunimee Bread and cheese I find very hard not to eat; generally don't keep either in because of that. Veggies easier.
@hayles Not sure. I think it's the rather euphemistic "removed permanently".
I find this strangely sinister. http://yfrog.com/n69jgyj
@OpinionatedGeek Oooh. So, what d'you reckon? Someone mopping up at the Edinburgh exchange tripped over the extension cable?
@ryancarson ...though am still tempted to set up a music shop as doremefasolati.co :)
@Thehappyfatgirl Very unlikely to be thrown away. Guess will be donated or recycled. Place I work does have reasonable social conscience!
@ruskin147 Wasn't that days ago? Or have they had another one?
@tsunimee Yeah, that's a problem we share that I'm trying to work on at the moment :) The boxes are part of my "wait until later" training!
@tsunimee Yeah, but I don't eat it all at once! Often I'll have box delivered Monday morning and not finish it till Wed.
Reading about Google's new Places API http://bit.ly/afUOLX (via @ryancarson; ping @benjohnbarnes)
@ryancarson Thought about it, but they seemed pricey and all the funny/clever ones were taken months ago. :)
@thomasvenables Still at discretion of managers, but I don't think there are any managers that approve now!
Yay! Another eight hours in the headphone-banning office, ten feet from TB-cough-woman.
RT @mediaben: Guildford is Latin for "Gridlock", but luckily Horsley is Hebrew for "Shortcut".
Cool. It's the balloons from _Zero History_!
@Phooto Yup; Matador is self-publishing branch of Troubador (but they read & approve the books first, and do reject if bad, apparently.)
@Phooto Awww! Thank you! Personally, I'm going to bump it to top of reading list and see which of those it really deserves, if either... :)
@Brays_Cottage Heh. Yes, good point :)
No idea how fair that review is (book is still on my incoming pile.) But even if fair, shame first review wasn't by someone who likes sex :)
Damn. Someone has given my uncle Ray's first novel its first Amazon review. And it's 1-star. :( Grr. http://amzn.to/anIH7s
@RichNeville "By a remarkable coincidence, it seems everyone in the country was making a cup of tea when the alleged murder took place..."
@hayles I'm so glad you pointed out that that's not weird. Otherwise I might have jumped to the wrong conclusion. #notsarcastic
@BlackDogDays I'm sure the teams won't let you down!
@BlackDogDays Save your anger for #Apprentice :) We'll probably need some disbelief and a heavy dose of contempt.
@Phooto Kewl :)
About to watch Wallace & Gromit's World of Invention :) (BBC1)
@kaveyf these? http://yfrog.com/5rj4ij
@foxc @kaveyf Does this mean that coming into millions by marrying a footballer and then having him die might be morally acceptable?

Really should have asked for an espresso IV drip & stand to take away from the coffee shop this morning.
Three hours before I can get out of here and get a massage. Tick tick tick...
@mikeotaylor it makes more sense now. Especially now I've realised I mis-read "streak" as "steak"!
@mikeotaylor Buh?
@bexxi so you're wanting a nice efficient form of ego-surfing instead? :)

@rstein Yow. Was the copper sulphate straight from a supplier?
If you're slumped in front of pointless net.crap, while having the urge to snack every five minutes, it's probably time for an early night.
@MelKirk Think of it as a cheap Wii Fit experience.
Back to the exercise regime, trying to make up some of the weekend's excesses.
@Whatleydude annoying, isn't it? Maybe when some decent apps appear, like a good non-gmail mail client...
