@4r7hr Think I must’ve been on the wavelength. I’m not always, with Paul.

RT @Fizzygrrl: Help Twitter plz help i found a bird dead, floating in the water bin we leave out for our raccoons and it was in there 20+…
We fixed a line of code in our web browser, so please stand by for a 2.5GB download followed by two hours of installing and rebooting.
To be fair, it does get a listing, but a mere Grade II: https://t.co/YQutGGJbbY What I always wonder is if all the existing houses shuffled their door numbers down by one when this parvenu arrived fifty years later...
@Dru_Marland One thing I've always liked: people are so attached to the correct spelling of "Albemarle" that they still sometimes sabotage the upstart street signs that have been put in since the "Albermarle" got keyed into the council records and got stuck there.
@chubbybannister *hug* I did that last weekend. Feel a lot better this weekend.
RT @BristolFerry: Missed us? Stay tuned.. https://t.co/gG1LU6RDYs
That's quite some hail. #bristol
@4r7hr Christ, last week's was hard enough.
Curled up on my sofa reading Angela Carter as the hail storms down outside.
A tableful of hail. https://t.co/NG5CgfSmsQ
I have just found out that the "wideawake" style of hat is called that because its fabric doesn't have a nap, and my respect for the ways of mid-19th-century milliners has definitely increased. https://t.co/djT3St6o8n

“No, it’s not fever and shortness of breath. Dave just looks like that when he thinks people are misusing the word ‘epicentre’.”

Maybe it’s something about the outfit, but she does rather look like she’s signing death warrants in a dystopian timeline. https://t.co/XwNq9dT9s8

@PRIMITIVESband You can tell by the way he can’t spell “graffiti” ;)

@guriben Ah. Just regular checkup for me. Never had a filling, been very lucky with my teeth.
RT @katehawkings: Has anybody out there got experience of publishing their own ebooks on food or cookery which they'd like to share with ...
@uliwitness Think I’d choose the second of those.
Yay for dental hygienists! *sparkles* http://t.co/cEL9dVxAF8

Really? I never found it that bad, myself. #geek http://t.co/RI5zVT6lQG
RT @macguitar: Whoa, Google Reader is shutting down: http://t.co/S3IMphlu6a (hat tip to @ashtom)
RT @ttscoff: “Usage of Google Reader has declined” = tons of people using it for sync, but we can’t put ads in that.
“Not enough of the cool geeks are using Google+.” “Bastards. Punch them where it hurts, right in their RSS feeds.”
@AshleyEsqueda I already had “move away from Feedburner, because it’s clearly a dead product walking” on my todo list. :(
@AshleyEsqueda Yeah. I must have it wired up eight different ways on about as many blogs and feeds. Gah!

@betty_watson It would not end well.
Gosh, but I can be dumb sometimes.
@hayles *thhhrhrhhrrhrhhrhrhrhrbtbttthtt*
@SarahMillican75 Never use the Quiet Coach. It's just *more* irritating when people inevitably aren't quiet.
@stillawake Okay, no problem.
@readlaterhelp Is there any way to set clicking links to open in Safari by default? Thanks!
Ah, auto-translate: "The sound is good, I have not used the preamps of madness but it is very correct." http://t.co/w8ZYFVPv
(I think it was mostly Suggs who used the preamps of madness...)
@hayles I hope you'll be taking the rather fabulous http://t.co/DS5rWuuQ as an inspiration and example.
@BlackDogDays @guriben @chubbybannister Would you lot mind keeping it down in the asylum? I'm trying to practise my maniacal laughter.
@hayles Alone? Well, I play music and watch TV that other people don't get, and try to have lunch out as much as possible. Does that help?
@hayles Yup. Human contact counts, even if it's just cow-orkers.
Right. I am now going to make a plan for tomorrow, in some detail.

@BlackDogDays !?
Enjoying reading MMS on the modern sense of entitlement to free cheese: http://michaelmarshallsmith.com/blog/?p=428
@BlackDogDays It's nice to have an impulse to welcome new people to the harbour. Just a bit surprised by your methodology :) @RamonY1970
Ooooh, triple shot using coffee beans from @BaristasBristol. *eyes open wide like rollerblinds being pulled* *flapflapflap*
@alexjbutcher The man talks a lot of sense.
Listening to Science Friday on NPR. Never figured out why it's on on Sunday in the UK, but it's a good alternative to the Morning Service :)
@jorence @BlackDogDays @RamonY1970 To be fair, that's only because it's hard to do from a basement flat a quarter of a mile away.
@R2UK So, looks like I was right just to carry on paying £15/month for 5Gb on my Mi-Fi rather than add iPhone tethering on O2? Pricey!
@BlackDogDays @parryphernalia If you see a fat bloke jogging past, that'll probably be me.
@R2UK I use maybe 1-2Gb/month these days -- and I always imagine mobile networks' overage charges are extortionate.
RT @RellyAB: Finally, I've read something smart and reassuring about Japan's nuclear incident: http://t.co/EWFA0iQ (via a bunch of people)
@R2UK I just tried to find out from the website. And remembered why I hate phone company websites.
@BaristasBristol Yes. "Different" is the word for a lot of things First Great Western do...
Okay. I just spent half an hour fiddling around rather than going out for a jog. Time to crowbar myself out of the door.
@R2UK Bloody confusopolies!
@Harkaway Incidentally, in case you hadn't seen it, best analysis yet: http://bit.ly/hr7Fbx
@DrHairbear Ooooh! Bonkers shouty man! I love bonkers shouty man. Though the plots have been increasingly implausible with every season...
RT @stewarttownsend: RT @mikebutcher: Scariest Tsunami video yet. 1st person view as a town goes in 6 mins. http://bit.ly/h80nZm via @Pe ...
If I worry any more about whether I've bought "a bathroom scale" or "a set of bathroom scales", I'm going to give up on this review entirely

@tsunimee Yeah, the people who invented predictive text were clealy a bunch of ducking aunts.
Nothing is working out for me today. Also, I hate Broadmead.
@hayles I have no idea. But personally I'm running on two good nights' sleep, coffee and sunshine. Grwawww! I am old man, hear me roar!
Hurrah! Ill-gotten gains through for getting photo in Sun. http://twitpic.com/18a64c
@archidave That may well be why my toothpaste smells of fairy-repellent, come to think of it...
@archidave So, the manufacturer are working under the assumption that moths bring dandruff in the night?
@hayles Morning!
@Phooto Thanks!
I don't normally like to be big-headed about my photography, but in this case I'll make an exception. http://flic.kr/p/7KujSS
I'd further surmise that the 1st fix is free...
I'm guessing that this is a firm started by woodworkers Mr. No and Mr. Hasell. http://twitpic.com/18ddnl
Yay! Walking out with no plan turned into having a cup of tea on The Matthew then bumping into some company for the Grain Barge. Nice.
@mightymur Yow. Is that why your site isn't there?
Right. Seeing as nothing seems to be going according to plean today, I'm now abandoning all plans and just heading outside with a camera.
@tsunimee Yeah, the people who invented predictive text were clearly a bunch of ducking aunts.

@fivesimplesteps So would this be a bad time to point out that you don't spell "oppulance" like that?
@ki2594 Just like the old one did, in fact.
Hmm. Is it just me, or did the iPod Shuffle just jump the shark?
@rabidbee you can probably determine that based on whether your bed is a wooden, soil-lined box :)
