@SimonLandmine Déjà cue?
@dangusset I honestly couldn't make out a single word of that. Not one.
@dangusset I'm not necessarily thinking that it was the recording quality that was the issue.
@OneMoreMouthful @Shonette I would be snug and warm inside a Khao & Bao bun.
@CharlieEsq_ When I was a veggie I think I mostly ate cheese on toast, so I wouldn’t have, either :D

@benjohnbarnes I admit it was a bit over the top. I did some rearrangement before eating :D I love Hollandaise, but it's a pain to make.
@benjohnbarnes You can buy it in a jar, and it’s about as nice as you’d expect compared to the real freshly-made thing.
@benjohnbarnes Of course, when it’s in a jar you don’t have the disadvantage of seeing just how much butter goes into it :D
@C_J_Fox I still have that "just in case" mentality. Still, got a ScanSnap with a sheet feeder, so scanning's about as fast as shredding!
@C_J_Fox Wish I had room for one of those!

@BabsBat Have you considered registering your nose as one of your Touch ID “digits”? :)
@majicDave Your image has also been programmed into Teslas’ autopilot as a target.

Fierce! http://t.co/oWwvLGfNs5
@Dichohecho @hayles I want to try one. Love the idea of sleeping through a journey and just waking up where you want to be. Hyperspace!
@hayles @Dichohecho It's only not useful because I don't live in either Penzance or London. Wish there was a Bristol<->Glasgow service :D
My standard "do I actually have a card in this camera?" double-check-before-I-leave shot. http://t.co/GD6CL7ZTqW
Objective C is like Greek: It's a perfectly fine, interesting language, but it's hard to learn and then you can only use it in one place.
Prawnography. http://t.co/cdemb4aG66
@Nose_in_a_book @SpikyZebra Quite a lot of different things get filmed in that area. Think they crew just like Baristas' coffee :D

Done. @ Thali Cafe http://t.co/w0g6iQ9t
Grafted. http://t.co/I14Gl11w
Ah. I wondered what all the beeping from the phone was. My photo got Explored.
@StephenEThomas Yes. Some of my explored photos were explored for quite odd reasons, it seems.
Not a bad morning. Lie-in, breakfast at Thali Cafe, potted a couple of apple trees-to-be.
@darwin Sunset from the Grain Barge last night :) http://t.co/uwWS35aI
Right. Should probably, you know, *do* some stuff. Before it’s time to head to the Tobacco Factory for John Shuttleworth :)
RT @AlsBoy: Sorry Pound Shop but I think 'rolling pin' is a much better name for it. http://t.co/MqGTvjUe
(I look at that and mostly I’m thinking, “Gah! KERNING!” I think I’m getting old.) @AlsBoy @redlegoman
Might finish this dragon today... http://t.co/OBbBTyrd

Trying to get @SmoovieApp to export a movie in the aspect ratio it's set to and previewing as. Not having much success...
Me, building a dragon. http://t.co/ArWus6vR
@opsGordon Thanks! Will do. It’ll be tomorrow, mind. No urgency, I worked around by using FCPX instead.
@BenPark Oh. Hello! TF?
Score! http://t.co/zVzncAWa
Halfway home. http://t.co/ohiMtKH7
@BenPark @jamesainsworth Hallelujah! Those chairs kill my back. Also: wonder if they can get funding for A WINDOW.
Today I have had breakfast at Thali Cafe, planted apple trees (thanks @missemmeline!), finished a dragon and seen John Shuttleworth. Win!
@CafeWatcher I've never been to the Montpelier one. Not a fan of the Clifton Village one, but the Easton one seems pretty good.
@BenPark @jamesainsworth No, I just wanted one to open and let some fresh air in!
@BenPark @jamesainsworth Yeah. I know they're trying to get aircon, but there must easier ways of cooling down a room in *February*.
2012
Mornin', tweeps.
@fakebaldur Allegedly -7 where I am. *turns on fan heater*
@secretsandpies I might have to go for a walk this morning, just to experience the frostiness. *looks out snowboarding jacket*
@fakebaldur @glazou I've been out in -30 in Lapland, and I've still got all the gear I wore, so I reckon I'll be all right :D
Nice phrasing at the end there, Amazon. https://t.co/GA6XU9va
@KaveyF Ah, you iz back. Feeling better?
@benjohnbarnes Sorry, Skype issues. On in a mo.
@rogueamoeba Any known issues with Piezo and 10.7.3? Since I upgraded, Piezo fails to (re)launch Skype. Skype launches standalone fine.
Oooh, new version of Final Cut Pro X with multicam editing support *updates immediately*
Stuffed full of Pieminister pie. Mmmmm crusty carby comfort.
Too much walking with heavy shopping. I am now going to have a little lie down. #excitingtweets

@MrJonnyJones I have a CD you can borrow if that would help :D
@MrJonnyJones You've got me in the mood now. *sticks on _Post-Modern Sleaze_*
"Thanks for upgrading!" "Your Firefox is out of date." Erm. #mixedmessages https://t.co/rrX80W4S
I already have every single ingredient I need to bake the fairy cakes @hayles just blogged about. This is a dangerous situation.
@MrJonnyJones I am now listening to Kelli Ali's solo stuff on Spotify. Thank you for reminding me I actually *had* Spotify...
@hayles I HAVE ALREADY HAD A PIEMINISTER PIE TODAY DON'T BLOODY TEMPT ME.
@hayles You seem to be under the impression that I like other human beings enough to give them MY CAKES MINE MINE MINE.
@csoanes Oh, goodness. Not the best day to be going that way. Hope things get faster for you from here on in.

@Slashleen I'm guessing you have a whole ontology for those...
@jamesainsworth @stillawake @parryphernalia I think Isambardella is more magnificent :)
On average, each wall of a UK office displays 2.87 laminated A4 signs that nobody has ever read. #madeupstats
@TippyTLawton No. In any given week there's always one patient who's finished all the old _Hello_ magazines and moved on to read the walls.
@AndrewGirdwood Oop. That's probably Bing banned by the office firewall software, then...
@AndrewGirdwood No, but they grind exceedingly stupid.
@RamonY1970 That must be why they always laminate the signs.
2010
@CoWorkingWest Will do. And let me know if you do any evenings; 4:30-9:30 would be more my thing!
@BBCBristol Shame he was found out so early. I'm pretty sure he was desperate to give someone the third degree.
Hmm. I mostly approve of the Urban Dictionary definitions of "Matt" http://bit.ly/bjnvow #meme
Thanks. So now I know that as well as being rained on today in Millennium Square, I'll be rained on tomorrow, too. http://twitpic.com/115cj6
@tsunimee "doppelgänger", I think it's spelled. You'll have to ask a German follower to be sure :)
Hmm. Think the battery in my MacBook is dead. What time's the Apple Store open til, again?
@foxc Have leather case which bulks it up a bit, but is OK. For jogging I just shove it in a pocket and try not to put keys in there too :)
@foxc It's not a bad camera, but unless you really need something light & thin there's probably better options.
Imagining a dark anti-Twitter, made up only of blocked users. 10,000,000 bikini-clad girls follow 10,000,000 auto-DMing SEO gurus.
@hayles Clearly there's an opening for an Application Rejection Executive at that place. You should apply.
Just saw a rower misjudge his clearance past Tony Bullimore's catamaran. Swoosh... Glide... Swoosh... Glide... Sw*CLONK* *OW!*
@CoWorkingWest Sounds like a lovely idea, but unfortunately my day job would get in the way :(
Good: Swung past Hotel Chocolat after buying new MacBook battery. Bad: promised self I wouldn't indulge until I've been for a run. #damn
@CoWorkingWest @codeclub Cool, have been meaning to find new ways of socialising this year.
@TheLloydClan Wouldn't work with me :) Anyway. Must get off arse and go for run so I can justify these pralines. Sorry. Will shut up now.
@benjohnbarnes "And on the third of February, 2010, Twitter achieved... a complete lack of self-awareness."
@TheLloydClan That is indeed true, as it is of most lardy joggers :)
@CoWorkingWest I honestly don't know. There must be _some_ other people who have day jobs & spare-time work they'd prefer to do in company.
@CoWorkingWest But no idea how many. And you don't want to work evenings like that so often, or you wear yourself out.
If anyone's feeling generous, @teacherdude's fund for replacing his stolen camera gear is here: http://bit.ly/dkF6zi
@BatteryGenius Just died, basically. Was in use lots for three years, and had done 500+ cycles, and I didn't treat it well. Can't complain!
Assisted suicide seems to be in the news recently, so here's my take: if I ever stop hating the ads on commercial TV, please kill me.
@hayles Why not? Love and kittens, Matt x
@hayles I worry more about the people who start forum comments with "Dear Sir/Madam".
@seengee I seem to remember someone likening that review timing to asking Mrs Lincoln if she'd enjoyed the play.
@seengee Aha. Yes, it was the illustrious @hotdogsladies, of course. http://bit.ly/aWjjhQ
2009
Subjecting my elderly iMac to the strain of stabilising video and recognising faces.
@WilHarris I recommend Lapland (seriously!)
http://twitpic.com/1b6ds - Even my coffee looks prettier this morning!
@pjakobs give me snow any day!
Right. Time to shower, grab a camera and get out. Might walk to work today.
Come on, Bristol! Where's my snow!? Right, going back to bed. It had better be snowing when I get up, or I'll be all disappointed.
Just woke from vivid dream about settling new cat into my house. Odd.
