@Panopticrat @HenriettaRI A few years ago I gave up on all these allegedly resealable bags, bought a few packs (you always need more than you think you're going to need) of clips like this and haven't looked back. https://t.co/daUvGlfNy0

@guriben Thanks! Glad I dragged myself up the hill this morning :)
@guriben Oh yes. Working at top of Black Boy Hill at the mo, so the walk to work is a… joy. Let’s call it joy.
@guriben Yur. I was in Cambridge Park for a while. Definitely prefer it this way round-easy downhill in the evening!

@stillawake Morning.
@clvdz66 @guriben @stillawake @Lillput That was, indeed, a very fine film :)
@stillawake I AM MORE THAN BURGERS AND BREWDOG #SHOUTYFRIDAY
Braving the rain for lunch, mostly because my I need to put a new tax disc in my car, and it's parked halfway to the cafe anyway...
@cabalgata I seem to have survived it with not too much frustration for a decade or so...
Wow. Digging the new Bristol Guild cafe. @ The Bristol Guild http://t.co/mBCZQPNe
Might get out for a jog before it turns rainy again...
@AndyCarolan I’m chancing it.

@Easybourne Erm. It's good for the gestures. But even after weeks of use, I'm still finding it annoying when doing some stuff.
@Easybourne Sorry, dunno; I don't have Photoshop.
@Easybourne Good idea. Try to try anything you'd normally do that requires precise control (e.g. accurately sliding small sliders.)
@Easybourne (Which is one of the places I find myself giving up and reaching for the mouse instead in Lightroom, for example.)
@Easybourne Worth a go. Consider how much reaching you'll have to do, though. Okayish if you have keyboard without numpad or are a leftie.
@Easybourne No problem. At some point I might write a little blog post about how I'm finding the trackpad so far. But not this week!
What? Google have got rid of the "+" operator? Bah. I used that loads. http://t.co/NXnniX9Z

@rabidbee Is it possible that the symptom of your breakdown is that you think everyone else is having a breakdown?
@asic69 Isn't that a symptom of lupus?
@archidave "Breakdown" has been an almost-constant state with me for more than a decade now. Not entirely sure I can blame @rabidbee.
RT @emilykoch22: new Bristol commuter ferry service http://bit.ly/c6d3KY
Ambulance driver just tooted and gave me a friendly wave on way past. Pretty sure I didn't know him. Hope it wasn't a "catch you later!"
@hannahnicklin Just the pad? Last time mine did that I nipped into J Random Optician and they fixed 'em for free. #peoplearenice
@andybeebristol I can see that. @rabidbee: Karma Mechanic.
@hayles You only really have to worry when he finishes the can and swaps over with the current driver.
@andybeebristol I had considered the prospect of a new trireme service.
@paulahillier I was a bit far away for it to have been a random wave at a stranger. Never met your dad, have I?

@tsunimee Believe me, I'm generally better with clothes on. Jogging has had surprisingly little effect on my lardiness. @hayles

@hayles Okay, *that* was cute. Did someone actually put a shoe into Unicode?
@hayles Oh yeah!
@hayles ...and *breathe*.
@hayles By all accounts, leaving that place has to be a Very Good Thing.
@hayles I think you will be fine.
@hayles I heartily look forward to saying "I told you so."

Do Apple offer any kind of anti-instalment plan where I can just swear at iTunes for a full week at the beginning of every year?
Back from a jog. Musing about how 16 months of jogging have magically transformed me from a fat bloke into a fat bloke with muscly legs.
@tsunimee Surely it's my pure, sparkling soul you're attracted to, and nothing so ephemeral as my good looks?
Film night chez Matt, and tonight's feature is _In The Loop_.

@hayles can't, anyway: off to see Harry Brown. But will try to keep it in mind next time I'm up there.
Right. Unfollowing a couple of people until they get their accounts back under control from DM spammers. Don't fall for phishing, people.
@hannahnicklin good luck! I managed it in 2006, but only just! Write early, write often :) #nanowrimo
@dktom mostly it seems people have been getting DMs from friends that take them to a dodgy website that asks them for their Twitter password
@dktom ...then, if they do, it hijacks their account and sends out more DMs and spam.
@dktom just the age-old phishing scams, re-spun for Twitter. Be careful about handing you credentials out, you'll be fine.
Seeing Harry Brown tonight at Cabot Circus. Can get one other person in free. 7pm. Any takers?
@benjohnbarnes what the heck are writing that you need to know that for!?
Can I get out of here and go to the cinema yet?
@hayles I have never had a shake from Rocotillos, yet people all around me keep telling me they're great.
@benjohnbarnes Tweetdeck has a "translate" button, but I've never tried it for Russian/Romanian/whatever that is...
So. Last time Cinema de Lux showed Star Trek in wrong aspect ratio. This time they've over-"sold" a free screening. Luckily I have a seat...
Harry Brown pretty damn good, if rather dark. Recommended.
@KaveyF new Michael Caine film.
@chris_j_hughes Just the first twenty minutes. Then the curtains opened, the projector refocused and the cast got fatter! Nice.
@hayles There are indeed these things called tickets. And we all had them, including the people who didn't have seats. Clever.
@hayles They also cleverly didn't dim the lights all the way down until the final credits, when we actually needed to see to walk about.
@bananza I wondered why the planet just got a little warmer.
This @hotdogsladies' video I'm watching is slightly better if I cross my eyes a bit and watch two Merlins talking to me instead of one.
