@Kavey Eight pairs. One for every day of the week plus a spare :D I love a colourful sock, I do.

@hayles MORNING DEAR #SHOUTYFRIDAY

2 Sep 2016 07:25:19

@Bristolvor Well, much as I loved the old decal when it was new, I'm not sure "very faded red" is an official RAF roundel colour.

@ahnlak My local Waitrose has really nosedived in the last year. Luckily I was already passing other shop to go there, so less of a problem.

2 Sep 2016 15:30:16

@ahnlak I assumed it was an "oh shit we're not making money! Let's throw away everything that differentiated us from our competitors" move.

2 Sep 2016 15:46:50

@ahnlak ...as is often the case in corporate matters, where the ringing of the shot that hit one's foot can be heard for many miles.

@SarahPinborough Their DVD service has awesome range. Heard similar complaints to Netflix about the streaming service, though.

2 Sep 2012 16:08:55

@guriben Not unless they’ve added an awful lot since last week, sadly. They were missing about 20 years in the middle when I checked.

2 Sep 2012 20:01:33

@hayles No, on Monday. It was my... erm... Dad's brother-in-law's dad's. I want to use it tomorrow at my cousin's wedding :)

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@hayles Well, it is a tiny world, but no, not this time :)

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@Eyoki Yes, exactly. Either that or I was bored.

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@hayles I'd quite like to have a one-to-one with mine, but sadly they never happen. Hmm.

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@RamonY1970 Yeah, very good. Shiraz is my nearest restaurant, but I've only been there a couple of times. Food's fantastic.

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@RamonY1970 I think it will. Ali is really passionate about the tastes. Charming host, too.

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@jorence My pleasure, sir :)

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@Eyoki @jorence @twitttles Bleh. Better now the ibuprofen & codeine's kicked in. Can I go back to bed, please?

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@Eyoki Sadly, I have just arrived at work.

@DavidSGI Merci!

@thomasvenables iTunes? No, thank goodness, you at least get some warning and a choice.

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@hayles I don't feel particularly real today, but I promise not to point you at malware sites or try to sell you a Russian bride, at least.

@jbrownridge !

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@tsunimee Paint.NET might do the trick.

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@nyssapod Nope, not sure. I managed to reboot it by holding the slider in the "on" position for quite a long time, I think.

2 Sep 2010 00:00:00

@tsunimee Yesterday didn't seem so bad. Maybe our office is just in a bit of a time-warp. But I thought the most depressed day was in Jan?

2 Sep 2009 00:00:00

@thesecretconlan yes, but I have a lot of apps across two machines. Sure some will cause me as-yet-unknown gyp. Will wait some weeks.

2 Sep 2009 00:00:00

@thesecretconlan Also, I see no compelling reason to upgrade at all yet.

2 Sep 2009 00:00:00

@thesecretconlan Yeah. Looks like at least ten things I use are incompatible, including one where the upgrade fee is more than SL price!

2 Sep 2009 00:00:00

@MrsPBoutique Hmm. Lil Wired would be a great name for a fictional detective.

2 Sep 2009 00:00:00

@shezza_t Indeed I have; thinking of that what that lunatic Izzard is doing inspires own tiny runs to some degree :) http://bit.ly/4KqbW

2 Sep 2009 00:00:00

@hayles Also, would probably be funnier if I knew who half the guests were. That's the problem with not watching much telly.

@Tweeps4TheCure I'm in England -- not much hot weather left this year! First goal is a non-stop run around the harbour in Bristol! (5K-ish)

2 Sep 2009 00:00:00

@hayles Hard to tell -- if I could see it with fresh eyes again, maybe I'd love it again. Was groundbreaking at the time.
