@Hartley4Hotwell Hi Alex. Are you aware of this new fly-tipping magnet created at the corner of Hotwell Road? Any idea whether the land is council-owned or belongs to the developer who put the fence up? Thanks. https://t.co/h8oo45qGds
@Hartley4Hotwell Thanks!

Still Ill - https://t.co/Q8uoaoVFl7 https://t.co/rx2zc3szUW
I am a middle-aged man who is mildly ill. I therefore feel worse than anyone else in recorded history. Send sympathy. And Strepsils.
@johnfbraun Well, they’ve stumped up for whisky and a season of Columbo, but I have to self-fund the sympathy.
@antimitch YES. Only because this isn’t self-inflicted it’s MUCH WORSE.
@Kavey I appreciate the anatomical improbability nonetheless.
RT @sonniesedge: Six weeks to election. It took me six months to build the BBC's election site in 2015. Copy and paste like fuck, boyos.

A pint of Chuffing Ale and some Jay’s pork scratchings, in the sun at the Pump House. I appear to be on a #micropubcrawl.
Also: re-reading _Altered Carbon_. What a fine, fine piece of SF.
@guriben So, so good.

@Thehappyfatgirl Morning, sweetie.
Sorry, Dick Lovett, but this isn't the best year to upsell me an air-con recharge with my MOT. I'll get back to you if summer arrives.
RT @mattleys: You can wear shades like Bono, or you can cycle too fast on the footpath and tell me to fuck off, but in the name of decen ...
@mattleys Yeah. That probably only works if you're actually Bono.
Oh, well done, Kindle app for Mac. Third time lucky on actually starting up this time. *pats on head*
@tsunimee I could do with some of that. Do you actually have to have a headache in the first place for it to work, though?
@tsunimee *gentle headache-curing hug*
@MickDickinson Your site doesn't seem to be loading for me at the moment.
Didn't Adobe's Flash Installer used to be able to close DashboardClient itself? A normal user would struggle to do that manually.

@hayles @bristol_culture Magic Roll's closing? I've not even tried them yet!
@hayles @bristol_culture Also, I've been back in city centre office for two days. Nobody's mentioned mayor. Still think it is Twitter jape.
@Mouse_House Good morning. If I see a woman with a big knife at a bus stop this morning, I will smile and wave. From a distance.
@t_pk @waiyeehong @hayles @Bristol_Culture Ah. So the one five minutes' walk from my current office will still be there? ;)
@ollieflips *looks around, worriedly*
@ollieflips "Riiight. That's good, then," he said, slowly backing away from his keyboard.
Out of work at 5, now sitting in Baristas with a chai latte listening to Dire Straits on the stereo. Instant chill :D

I think I may take the evening off. Yes, kitchen, you will have to remain messy. Suck it up.
Might finally have a chance for a listen to a new CD tonight. #fotn http://t.co/IhEASpXI
@BradleyLaw it would take a while to download this lot, including DVD, and it wouldn't be as pretty ;) http://t.co/8vsQYShK
@jorence @theshinythings Cool!
@PrisRosen There must be something in the air this week. Nice one!
@ahnlak Google docs, http://t.co/9Dioz8Fc, http://t.co/JOppG1ax.
@ahnlak Plus the videos from Harvard Extension School's E-75 course are really good. http://t.co/IKVYiie1
@ahnlak (Wind back to Spring 2011 on that site for the full course, or follow along with the current one as it rolls :) )
@ahnlak In that case, I need to monetise. Here, have some adverts for whisky and cake.
@hayles If I'd know this was going to be your tweet theme for the evening, I'd have downloaded the "Stripper" music earlier.

@hayles Ooooh, and it's available in Waitrose, according to the website. And I pass Waitrose on the way home tomorrow night... #piepiepiepie
