@shezza_t It was, all told, a bit crap. I’ll be trying a normal supermarket delivery next. (But Pop Tarts and beer are ace.)
@shezza_t No 1-hour delivery window like with supermarkets; poor selection of stuff to buy; lots of packaging left over.

Wow. The coffee bean ice cream from Ice Cream By Us at North Street Fair is gorgeous.
Home. Home, in my cool, cool basement. So nice.
@Mouse_House Haha! That's *ace*!
@fakebaldur Tip: the ice cream stall in the road near Zara’s chocolate sold me one of the best coffee ice creams EVAH.

@michellepauli No cats here. Just makes me feel astoundingly under-read.
@Mouse_House I think you may have worked out the sordid secret of 99% of Twitter users. Anyway. I'm going to have a sandwich.
@vowe I agree. Also, from now on, I'd like to be known as Sylvester.
Jeeves & Wooster, red wine, pasta. Sorted.

Might finally get around to watching _The Hudsucker Proxy_.
@MizzWorthy Yes, most of the nurses I know are hugely deferent. #goingforsecondplace
@Lesism On the plus side, it's great publicity for the Exhibition. I'd not heard of it before.
@ahnlak If I do, I'm buying one that's about 3ft tall and training it to gore tall people.

@tsunimee Erm. Not heard that one. Unless the speaker was from the East End and addressing someone called Vic.
@mattgemmell I use a "Kensington Microsaver for Notebooks", apparently. No one's tried to nick it, though, so I can't rate its security!
@mattgemmell ...but it does fit through the cable hole in the stand without much awkwardness when locking/unlocking, at least.
One day, I'll decide on a web browser and stick with it for a while.
@guriben Fair point. Chances are fairly good, based on the available evidence, that I won't :)
@fakebaldur On the plus side, publishing companies' lawyers fought less over whether you were allowed to buy them or not.

@madeupstats I'll get my social networking guru right on that.

@tweeny4 Ah. I have it the other way round. If you see what I mean.
@tweeny4 What happened to your Mac?
@jorence It's okay, you're probably safe as long as I don't have change of a five.
@jorence And it's lucky I was off-duty, or I'd have had to charge you.
I should point out that the viewing of a @gothick is only offered to Waitrose's most valuable customers in the event of complaint.
RT @hayles: Waitrose are lovely! They gave me a double refund and some lovely yellow roses. And I saw a @gothick!
Win! Was actually awake enough to spot @hayles in passing (for once!)
@hayles Definitely complain; bet Waitrose are good at handling complaints.
@twitttles Yes, I'll admit that taking it back off was a tad eye-watering.
