@jukesie I do love an iMac, but I can only afford one every now and again. This is my second, and I've had it since 2015...
Well, I suppose you'd expect grand masonry at this particular hall on Park Street... https://t.co/9DAONwfL72
Half price because it’s a day over its best before date. What’s it going to do? Go mouldy? https://t.co/o5KS7hJy1b
@wood5y I have chained to the shelf in the fridge.

@UrsulaWJ I found that if I pre-make it and leave it in the fridge overnight it comes out really well when microwaved. I use a microwave noodle bowl with handle so I don’t get a burning-hot bowl and there’s only one thing to wash up.

@RichardFergie @danbarker Remind me to avoid your salad dressings.
@tithenai It’s how I once managed my best-ever Wookiee impersonation.

…and if the road didn’t just peter out at two men, a digger and a drainage ditch. D’oh. Getting places in Bristol can be hard. Should’ve just taken a taxi.
@OpinionatedGeek It was reading your review plus a mention from someone on here on the same day that tipped me into buying it!

Mornin’ all.
@CharlieEsq_ Upstairs are currently vacuuming and moving stuff around. Really hope…
@CharlieEsq_ …it’s because of a parental visit, rather than moving out; they’re normally so quiet I don’t want to lose them!
Today I will mostly be tidying up the flat. Expect a lot of random procrastination tweets.

@SpikyZebra Thanks! One of only two of mine I’ve had printed in the last couple of years ;)
@shezza_t Thanks. Now just got my eye out for a few finishing touches to make it seem a bit less “hotel bathroom” :)
I guess the @dayoneapp developers aren’t in the “always show my scrollbars” camp :) https://t.co/CwIGWxuovz
@dayoneapp Ah! Gotcha. Wasn’t that obvious it was a min-width issue (especially as it was full screen on a retina iMac!)
@chrisphin Careful. If the LED is on a board at the end of that cable, it’s likely that its power is shared with the LCD…
@chrisphin …and that there might not be a power wire for the LED that you can cut without killing the LCD.
@chrisphin Can you get anywhere near the LED itself? Or is it one of those might-never-go-back-together assemblies?
@chrisphin We could make millions by inventing some sort of LED-killing microgun. Why are so many of them bright enough to bleach your hair?
Might’ve impulse-bought a couple of @BrisBeerFactory’s Bristletoes on my way back from lunch. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Temporary new toy. @Phooto http://t.co/vQVtJC26g5
@Kavey Not exaclty.
@Phooto @andycarolan Well, given mine's in because it needs a new front bumper and front panel... #oops
@PeteWilliams It does look a bit that way, doesn't it? Not sure I'd have a black one.
Well, they're pretty thorough at BMW. Even sent a video of my car, mid-surgery. Poor thing. http://t.co/i7idndXxx2
@julienbob Apparently some customers refuse it because they don't want to see their little car with its guts hanging out :D
@julienbob But yes, that's pretty much BMW/MINI: expensive servicing, but you get *all* the frills.
@julienbob Well, I have some sympathy for the position. Been decluttering all month, and some objects have a surprising hold.
@ahnlak Sure they can buff it out.
@Kavey Unlike me, you missed a small smart car.
@ahnlak @Kavey Sadly not. Still, luckily I'm old, so it was only £200 excess and my no-claims knocked back down to seven years.
@Souterain That was just to replace the washer fluid. Don't get me started on the headlight bulb process.
@Souterain (On my first car, the venerable Talbot Samba, you had to remove the spare tyre and the air filter to change the headlight bulb!)
Back in one piece. Hurrah! http://t.co/UvGF3A8hNn
@Phooto I will be. It's a lot nicer than before the crash, in fact; I had a couple of other dings sorted while it was there...

@hayles The Galley Cafe, near Grain Barge.
@hayles Steal a jet ski. You’ll need one for the #penguinheist anyway.
@BlackDogDays @hayles Hurrah!
@xabl Well, I’m a city boy…
@CrenellatedArts Thanks! Yes, was great fun to visit.
The Galley are playing Tracey Chapman’s rather chilled back catalogue. I may never leave. *drinks more tea*
@Ninja_lynneja I am doing the same. Kind of nice, isn’t it?
Just started writing a mediation timer app. So far, it doesn't do much. #smallbeginnings http://t.co/Dve92Idq

Was feeling quite pale and wan, but food and about a gallon of tea has perked me up a bit. Hurrah!

@KeithGough1 Has Neil been eating today?
Tomorrow, an erstwhile colleague has foolishly agreed to try eating "The Beast" at @warrensgbco http://t.co/MfdRZqjx
I will be there, taking photos, and eating a much, much smaller burger.
@trekkie That would be the rather large lump of meat on the plate. You may not wish to know what lies therein. http://t.co/7D5SDVVp
@jukesie I can barely get through one of their "singles". Most of the people on the "I've beaten the Beast" blackboard were rugby players.
@trekkie It's not dissimilar. More meat, less oatmeal. Bit less soft. Though as with haggis, the recipe varies.
That’s a really helpful place to put the cooking instructions, @thecooperative! Grr. http://t.co/IvhfuJNV

Grr. What I really want is last.fm, but with the Mac client written by the people who wrote Spotify's client.
Really getting into this cool new band. They're called The Darling Buds. What? Oh. Damn.
@hayles On the Centre? When did that arrive?
@hayles Might have to wander down at lunchtime and take a same-photo-as-everyone-else photo :D
@hayles Will do!
@hayles @talkie_tim Oh, right. Well, I'm not going *there*. #scarybroadmead

This is the first thing you do when you buy a new compass, right? http://t.co/1QS0lX1j
@BradleyLaw Well, I would have said "pair of compasses", but that just seemed dreadfully old-fashioned.
@Phooto @BradleyLaw When I was an Air Cadet, we would mostly travel east by following the M4. #VFR #cheating
@davidpatrick @Phooto @BradleyLaw Indeed. I'm all for directions starting "1) if it's not yet sunset, drink tea. Repeat as necessary."
@njj4 That's the second time I've seen Philip Glass mentioned in as many days. Maybe it's a hint that I should buy an album.

Roight. Time for an afternoon's programming, apparently accompanied by the Buzzcocks. #lastfm
@njj4 Nah, I already know I get along with him. Even saw Powaqqatsi/Koyaanisqatsi with live soundtrack at the Barbican once...
@johnfbraun I have no idea. Just looked like a slightly funky Polaroid.
@skiptunes Is there any way of playing the last.fm "radio stations" with the app? e.g. "My Neighbourhood" radio?
2011
@benparkatbjs Odd. I've just put a red shirt on. If you get picked for any away teams, remember to duck.
@sowerbyandluff If the computer can't produce dumb-ass spontaneous answers, it's been programmed wrong...
@ShabbyBean Had the roast chicken :) And, goodness, seem to be off to the Grain Barge later, too...
@danbenjamin Goodness. With the optical mat, too. Sun ELC/SLC station?
@Eyoki "Let's not. It might help people find the exits."
@Eyoki Lovely bit in _Edge of Darkness_ when the police lose Craven by ending up on the roof, after following the exit signs...
@ShabbyBean I'm glad about that! 7K run followed by a roast; I'm already knackered before tonight's even started...
@ShabbyBean Will do. Assuming you like Bath Ales beer, anyway... :)
Didn't get as far as the Grain Barge! Now in Shiraz, hugely enjoying Persian music night :D

@tweeny4 Are you actually in my personal hell? Oh, wait, no, that was last night at the bowling alley when they played Crazy Frog.
Thanks, Facebook ad, but I'm afraid that "View Females Online" is not really the kind of hook you use if you want to catch me.
@martingoode A friend and I had that in a Greek place once. Teensy bit embarrassing, but definitely worth it.
Random oddness of the evening: Tara facecake. http://twitpic.com/11r27p
Mmmmmnmmn. I have eaten Quite A Lot. Bloody good job I ran 10K earlier. Not least because I couldn't run 10 feet now.
@hayles Different menu. The duck, however, was lush.
@hayles Mmmm. Jelly and ice cream? Mmmm. But no, doubt I'll have room. Unless I have it for a main course!
Hmm. Cocktails & meal at Goldbrick House next. Should be nice ;)
Note to self: when making running playlists, try to filter out songs played in waltz time. #getrunning
God damn, it's procrastination central here this morning. Long time since I've had to concentrate on a Saturday, obviously.
Getting web stuff working across browsers is like trying to roll bubbles out of wallpaper. Blindfold. And without a roller.
