Anyone know what this thing on the side of Richmond Heights is? https://t.co/xov6Wj8HSA
@Picklechu Not that I could see, but I'm not sure I'd recognise Templar activity if it drove up to me in a Volvo P1800 and asked me to join a Crusade...
@Picklechu I have been researching occult secret societies this week, as it happens, but I think they were headquartered in a different area...
Next random question: who dis? https://t.co/cOVPKJwfZH
The Raffles of insect hotels. Just imagine them in there, lounging around in their monogrammed bathrobes. https://t.co/2ZD0J5fjrY
I understand there's a prize for this. https://t.co/you3jORwPF
RT @KYPBristol: @gothick it used to have the name of the building on it, but the letters dropped off
@KYPBristol So... Somebody may have all the letters they need to make a sign that says... "CHERISH MID THONG"?

Sigh. Upstairs neighbour's builders are back and are now working with power tools at both the front and back of the house. THIS WAS MEANT TO BE MY RELAXING LONG WEEKEND OFF YOU BASTARDS.

Yeah, I’ll get right on that. https://t.co/MdPNotZmzG

@chubbybannister I know what you mean. Morning!
Morning. https://t.co/edakr4w9tZ
@ahnlak Only a bit. I’m normally up by 6:30am even on a weekend. Don’t judge me based on Islay waking times ;)

@kavey @ahnlak Google is now serving me ads for these: http://t.co/TwnQXVzB2X Does it know I’ve just been on holiday with Pete?
Acceptably pretty today, #Bristol. Carry on. http://t.co/Rso2Kxd57O

@jukesie Don’t know about ID. Looks like I should be holding a number and standing in front of a height chart.

@guriben I’ll take your word for it.
RT @cosmicjam: Chaos at Bristol airport as power cut grounds all flights http://t.co/GUs5gCng2y <-- Ooops. Anyone flying today?
@Withings Your Objective report emails could do with a little fix—just got a report for the "31th"... http://t.co/cCGOBV0mDv
@faerietalefoody That'll be brunch. No way a guy like that left the house without a triple espresso to start his heart.
@guriben Doesn't look so bad now I've had some coffee.
Hokay. Now a morning of poking about in WordPress, hopefully punctuated by the rubbish clearance guys turning up as planned.
I think I need to start a proper company. I definitely enjoy the sounds of other people doing work for me :D
Well, that was friendly and painless. I can recommend "the two Georges" for rubbish clearance in Bristol. http://t.co/jYGGc1iNWA

@Bristol52 The steps by the Cottage, the Nova Scotia, or occasionally the Mud Dock balcony for me.
Not watching Game of Thrones is the new not being into football.
RT @C4Utopia: The series recap ‘they’ didn’t want you to see. Relive #Utopia S1, before watching S2 in July. Watch the spoilers! http://t.c…
(Re last RT) Utopia is one of the most (disturbingly) good British TV shows of recent history. If you're a bit sick, I heartily recommend it
@garycasamojo Not sure I want to be quite that hands-on…
@chrismarquardt For some reason, this chocolate cake made me think of you. http://t.co/Bf1mnQwEYj
@Saralimback Must’ve got the jam/cream ratio slightly wrong. It’s the only explanation.
RT @CIA: We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet.
@BCDreyer @BethanyEdits @julichilliard Has it changed over time, or US/British diff? e.g. "Come into my parlour..." https://t.co/S97EYLsn2p
@BCDreyer @BethanyEdits @julichilliard I'd write "come into..." without a second thought. Or I would have done before this conversation.
@BCDreyer @BethanyEdits @julichilliard Then again, I'd also turn into a parking lot. Well, turn into a car park, anyway. So what do I know?
@BCDreyer @BethanyEdits @julichilliard :) Google search shows "into" more common, but *much* more common with "car park" than...
@BCDreyer @BethanyEdits @julichilliard "parking lot", so perhaps it's more of a Britishism. Anyway. This car park will shut up now :)
Hrm. #stackoverflow is down again. I wonder if this is a side-effect of WWDC...

@mention Hi! I deleted an alert some days ago, but am still receiving push notifications of it on my iPhone. Any ideas? Ta!
The anniversary of D-Day. I've just been followed on Twitter by an "exciting new platform" where users can rate celebrities' hairstyles.
On the plus side, I suppose: freedom, that sort of stuff.
@tx Hi Guillaume. Done and done. Thanks!
@tx If it helps you track anything down, I just received a new alert: http://t.co/bCNFd6kiOZ
And *straight back to childhood*. http://t.co/AJn7Icsq8Y
Most of my technology seems to be playing up right now. I’m therefore going to sit under a tree and read a paper book for a while.
@Peculiar Hrm. A Very Old Fashioned? Whisky, sherbet lemons, treacle, and a twist of orange?

@restingchef Fact: Barmen are actually all under 5 foot. They're attracted to bar work because it hides the boxes they stand on.

@andybeebristol Temporarily not. Middle of an 8-week contract.
Oh! Apparently my last day on this contract is next Friday. Cool. Not four more weeks like I thought :)
@andybeebristol I’m imposing my own deadline on this one. Too much other stuff on to have last-minute extensions thrust on me.
Don't think Greek Delight* is the best back-from-holiday office pressie. This icing sugar is going to go everywhere. *Not Turkish at all.

@RamonYouseph Head for the reference section. More conducive to work.
@RamonYouseph Er. I think so. Just turn the volume down before you go in!
@Thehappyfatgirl That’s okay; we just imagine you’re naked all the time, anyway.
@SourdoughCafe Might have to check that out in person on Friday :)

@liveindetail If you pull it out (which you easily can) you can see the back of the skirting board that's *inside* the house.
@liveindetail I think this may possibly be due to dodgy builders than rarefied Cliftonian ideals :D
@bertpalmer Don’t even joke about it. I still haven’t opened the parcel. But that was Parcelforce, anyway.

New look Evening Post site. Main banner image and others don't load because they're hosted on "social network" site banned by work firewall.
Oh well. It's the same firewall that was blocking the dodgy popunder bingo ads of the old Post site, so I should take rough with smooth!
@Marnova Hah! Fantastic. Put on a hi-viz jacket and act like you're meant to be there and you can get away with anything :)
Lunchtime reading. http://instagr.am/p/FSTbi/

@suzidixon77 Did you see this? http://bit.ly/ifTfb4
Now to hang out somewhere harboursidey and await my friend Steve, who should be finishing a dayful of interviews soon...
In The Cottage, drinkin' beerz.
@KaveyF Used to use the Podsafe Music Network; still looks like it's doing the same thing. http://www.musicalley.com/
@scottejames No, dear. Not *The* Cottage.

Right. Back home. Lots to do, so ignoring it all and watching an episode of _The Prisoner_ instead. Then bed. http://twitpic.com/1ulvnl
@dressjunkie It's a fair cop. We have come to an arrangement.
I appear to have acquired a feline leg-warmer during the night. This will make getting to the bathroom awkward. http://twitpic.com/1ueumx

Rhubarb crumble is in the oven. This is all @KaveyF's fault for mentioning it. http://tinyurl.com/nw75m3
Cleaning skirting board. It doesn't get much more glamorous than this. Unfortunately.
@hayles Or go have something dangerous in Hotel Chocolat's little cafe instead!
@hayles Starbucks and Costa both seem stupidly busy most daytimes I've been there. The Costa might be worth a try, though.
Just coming back from CREATE Centre. Tried juggling, but drew line at invitation to build fairy house.

Morning all! Lovely weather. Think I'll go soak in a nice long bath and see whether it's nicer outside when I'm done.

@hotdogsladies Pah, the British Amazon store is keeping a stiff upper lip.
Every time I want to go to the Jacobs photographic website, I type jacobs.co.uk by mistake and am presented with Cream Cracker recipe ideas.
Holy god, how did I get that much crap on my mirror and prism? Did a seagull fly in the last time I changed lenses?
