@chubbybannister Yes. This.
@Juggzy Which one’s the cyclist again?

@dktom And that's just the sub-convoy carrying his ego.
Shouldn't there be a hold-up at immigration while our security services check through his social media feed?
@dktom PS: Is that at Redbridge roundabout? I grew up about a mile from there!
RT @MissFlyByNight: You just died.... the last photo in your gallery killed you. What or who is the culprit?
@MissFlyByNight Apparently the pen *is* mightier than the sword. https://t.co/gSZGXxvbVo
Up and safe. https://t.co/MVGoBmjdxt
@siracusa I was just amazed it wasn’t already there! Very handy on the Echo...
“We turned the cheesegrater up to eleven...” #WWDC19
I fear this is going to be the best Mac Pro that @siracusa won’t be able to justify the expense of. #WWDC19
@jamesthomson @siegel Yah. Damn it.
Just get to the price, damn it. #wwdc19 https://t.co/7S0Cb6j1Kd
@hayles I couldn’t even afford the last Mac Pro.
@siracusa Was that, by any chance, about 20% more than the upper limit you had in mind? #applepricingalgorithm
@siracusa I think someone needs to try turning John off and on again.
@hayles @basil_gg So, I think if I did go for the Mac Pro plus display, that would be the most money I’d ever spent on something that wasn’t a house. My elderly iMac is looking nicer and nicer 😂
Oh, well done, Bristol. #hotwells https://t.co/ymN9YsKfUM
@psidnell So, I wasn't far off, then.
This chart could come in handy. #wwdc19 https://t.co/8x90zVi3dt

@Polackio Yeah. Great rhythm. It’s there in the words but it wasn’t anything like so apparent until I heard it.
2:44am. For us Brits, nighttime Twitter is occasional other insomniacs in a wall of Americans giving Trump the side-eye.

Heading home. In instalments. https://t.co/K4NFyv4E8F
@jukesie You, me and @t_pk need to get together to discuss plotting the perfect alibi for something! ;)
@hackery Given that they feel to me very much like Woolies and BHS, I think any more than £20 WHS vouchers could probably buy the chain!

Gosh. I think—think—desperately annoyingly druggie upstairs neighbours may have taken the hint and quietened down for the evening.

@OpinionatedGeek Fire away.

"You must be somewhere in London/You must be loving your life in the rain..." Now playing: The National: _England_.
@Thehappyfatgirl Mornin'.
Having coffee. And toast. Then, I *really* need a shave. Then, maybe some work. Hrm.
Go @theshinythings! *Unholsters emergency pom-poms*
@missemmeline No, she ran out yesterday. Shall I come collect you to a cafe, distressed damsel?
@hayles I sometimes do it on planes because I hate being on planes so much I’ll consider anything that might improve the experience.
Small square of tissue stuck above top lip after a shaving accident. I look like the world's least effective Hitler impersonator.

@jorence @theshinythings Hurrah! *deploys fleece pompoms* *does victory cheer dance*
Processing photos and listening to The National.
RT @MitchBenn: Flotilla my ass, that's an evacuation. What aren't they telling us?!
My snaps from @upfest yesterday #bristol http://t.co/rt3tmhnj
@missemmeline Thanks :)
Procrastinating.
Lamps like lovers. http://t.co/3l29C8zq
@Mouse_House Generally, I would say yes. Though John Lewis might be worth a check, think they do a 2-year guarantee for free.
@Mouse_House I haven't got one, so I can't tell you much more. But it's not like they're going to run out of 'em if you don't get one today!
@sowerbyandluff "What letter does your last name begin with? Oh! Great! It's your turn in the boats next week..."
@hayles Personally, I'm in a period of heightened insecurity.
@missemmeline "Come Away With Me", right?
Wandering Cliftonwards. Bunting: westerly, rising.

I think there may be a French contingent in Royal York Crescent. http://t.co/uIYpHWNW
@Adamy323 Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten that cute anglepoise one they did!
@tsunimee Vraiment? Okay, I'll eliminate you from our enquiries :D
@spyou Good. Because this weekend, the punishment is being buntinged, of course...
@Mouse_House @mattpoo 'S'all right for some. I'm still struggling by with just this elderly phone...
RT @sunny_hundal: HAH! RT @Lefty_Lisa: RT @fionalaird: Hahahaha RT @shutteritch: Jubilee photo of the day? http://t.co/ZXBqy3oZ
@Mouse_House I haven’t seen any yet. Luckily being away for a week and a bit has piled up non-Jubilee stuff to watch on the digital box :)
@Mouse_House Good my decision to watch NCIS has been validated :)
@Mouse_House Hrm. I heard about that. Not sure I’d want to see it. Though my last girlfriend was a self-styled “BBW”, mind…
@Mouse_House Just depends on the person, for me. Some people seem to suit it more than others.
@Mouse_House Well, I find some people more attractive than others, but that can definitely be “recalibrated” by getting to know them.
@Mouse_House (To some degree, at least…)
@Mouse_House Was checking out amazing girl on Hotwell Road t’other day. She then chucked empty fag packet on pavement. Instant ugliness.
@Mouse_House Yeah. Which is annoying, yes? #friendzone
@Mouse_House Well, it’s nice to know I’m not alone. :)
@Mouse_House No, it's a thing called Photo Stream. You need an iCloud account. http://t.co/rikKwHEY
@Mouse_House Good. It is a little bit like magic. Be careful if you take any photos you would *not* want to appear on other devices! :D
@KirstyHigginson Guylian? Damn it. Post one to me, will you?
@KirstyHigginson (And maybe include a sachet of the red wine, while you're there...)
@KirstyHigginson GAH!
RT @ScottFilmCritic: This is the best picture of a surprised building you'll see all day. http://t.co/dyDuCjX6
Marco Pierre White would probably impress me more in adverts if I’d seen him in anything other than adverts.
@BlackDogDays I have never heard “chebs” before, so at least Upfest is being educational for me…
@chris_j_hughes No, I didn't know. First time I saw him was in a Knorr ad that didn't say who he was; I just thought he was random actor.

@rbrwr Ta!
@nyssapod @ahnlak @goodreads I'm on Goodreads and Librarything. Both seem good. Leaning towards Goodreads just because site is prettier :)
@DrHairbear Amen.
RT @Ahm76: There's something in the third beer that commands me to eat 8 bowls of cereal. I can't control it. I obey. #acceptance #wisdo ...
I'm not saying today is dragging, but if I were naming my work D&D character, he'd be called Yawnymuch Borednow.
All the packages I've been waiting for for weeks have turned up today. Woo!
@hayles Well, guessing you're not a size nine, so the shoes are out. And think I'm going to need the Dyson fan in this weather.
@hayles ...so, that leaves... Er. Nothing. Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along. http://lockerz.com/s/107285677
@hayles @talkie_tim *splutter* *sound of back-pedalling*
@hayles @talkie_tim I AM NOT SANTA. Also, it's June.

@hayles Do the gardening. *prod*
@tastapod @gdinwiddie I've seriously considered making a site that is nothing but a picture of a pot plant that you explain your problem to.
What kind of afternoon was it in Bristol? This kind. Hurrah! http://flic.kr/p/9Q3XE7
@BlackDogDays Were you? Did you see me?
RT @BBCBristol: Man charged after statue damaged: An 18-year-old man from Oxfordshire is charged after a bronze sculpture in Bri... http ...
Anyway. Yes. Some random test shots with the new lens, if you want to see what the Canon EF-S 55-250 IS is like: http://bit.ly/khiMoJ
@SpikyZebra It seems to be a pretty popular haunt all round!
@BlackDogDays Yur. With the big batch of photographers who were, apparently, right behind you! ;)
@BlackDogDays Hah! Don't feel so bad for missing it now :) I was facing the other way most of the evening, otherwise I might've seen you!
@BlackDogDays @jorence And also that I was there with @talkie_tim and @Nose_in_a_book, to name but two... #grainbarge #smallworld

@hayles So am I. However, the sixth or seventh builder to put a floor in this flat in the last few hundred years: not so good.
So, I think I might be able to remember my next race number pretty easily, then :) http://twitpic.com/1tl9iw
@hayles How about, "The cerificate has proved extemely valuable, especially vis-a-vis my wobbly kitchen table."
@matthew_roach He? #evenmoreconfused.com
@tsunimee yeah, but you should do things that feel a bit wrong every now and again. It builds character. :)
@ahnlak Since when did that stop you?
I've a drink named after me by a friend who runs a cafe. Odd. Haven't tried "Matt's Lemonade" yet myself, either...
@muirium Especially when they use their multinationalness to pick the county with the weakest laws on X whenever they want to do X.
@muirium BT gets sympathy over there? Wow!
@muirium Didn't BP drop the "British" bit years and years ago?
@tsunimee @charleymarley Well, making a special trip to thank the driver would probably be considered overkill, yes.
@tsunimee If I walked past the driver on my way out, yes. The Bristol tradition on exiting a bus is to say, "Cheers drive!"

@boagworld Tip: when breaking up longer tasks, stop right in the middle, not at a "natural" break. Then it's much easier to pick it back up.

Ugh. Either it's a heavy hay fever day, or I'm going down with a cold.
