RT @bristol247: Bristol Boaters say the fee hikes are "disproportionate and unequitable" https://t.co/wnI4pa20ta
@rbrwr @KinetaHill Er, so does that mean the bus they’re recommending for me won’t actually pick me up? This confusion of nonsense is one of the reasons people don’t use buses, isn’t it?
Current status: one cookie warning pop-up away from going back to getting all my information from the wireless.

Other places have sundials. Bristol has recently found it more useful to convert to the raindial. https://t.co/3brx9Qr0wP

Are these cranes around the back of the A Bond, or something else? https://t.co/A399iB706h https://t.co/5nIWJkC0Y2

Randomly reminded of a top 80s ad this morning. Maxell Tapes 'Break the Sound Barrier' https://t.co/ABGq6e3R7Z.
@doeeyedlettuce JFC.
@doeeyedlettuce I would be very happy NOT to reactivate my OKC account to check him out.
@doeeyedlettuce Some people have way too much time on their hands, especially when compared to the size of their brains.

@CharlieEsq_ Did the establishment not provide the customary wingfork and chickentweeser? Tut.
@anna_debenham @rem @jaffathecake I’m now imagining a coat knitted from cheaparse biros and realising I go to the wrong conferences.
@libbymiller My flu must be improving, as I’ve now switch from Lovejoy on Drama to House on Netflix.

@waiyeehong @hayles Yur. Though if the thing’s mostly gold, it’ll still have some intrinsic value, at least.
@waiyeehong @hayles On the other hand, some people clearly think old Apple stuff is valuable: http://t.co/pb90U5XSnQ
@hayles @waiyeehong *Looks through the backs of cupboards hopefully*

@LilyThePurr Thanks :)
@ChinaShopBull Ah well, the Lanes are like that, aren't they? :)
@sstarr Ta.
Well, at least *one* of these two people I snapped on the harbourside yesterday looks happy... http://t.co/5IWBAKy1P5
Today I'm off to help friends wrap polythene around their tunnel. This is not a euphemism.
@BlackDogDays We're having our "winter closure". Because winter's just not the time people want to be indoors with a hot drink.
@ollieflips Thanks!
Remember the enormous pond we laid the liner in? All this recent rain has been good! :) http://t.co/qp410ZQnbo
Challenge for the day: turn tunnel into an actual poly tunnel. http://t.co/Aqnt2PgR0S
@archidave Somerset, near Stawley.
My friend Paul is doing aerial photography the quiet, pretty way today :) http://t.co/UuuTBLx9Sm
The start of the polythene ;) http://t.co/lDXZN9HM1D
My friends do *not* have a brand new combine harvester. However... http://t.co/m3hstZqEXb

@BlackDogDays I hear you can substitute HP Sauce and twiglets.

@Thehappyfatgirl *Waves from Clifton Village*
@Thehappyfatgirl About here. http://t.co/I9gnZIoRJo
@Thehappyfatgirl Am now in BTP.
Settled upstairs in BTP for coffee & idea sketching before I head home. http://t.co/oU5CR4RqI1
@Thehappyfatgirl Upstairs at counter.
@Thehappyfatgirl Damn it! I’ll be back home in an hour. #shipsthatpassinthebroaddaylight
Iterating. http://t.co/uxp8ya4dUQ
@anniebonne Texas? Cool! I’ll shoot the grey sky and drizzle if it’ll help you feel better :)
RT @liveindetail: This sign made my grammar gland spasm for nearly 15 minutes http://t.co/S9UxNBTxZE
@Thehappyfatgirl @BenPark Nearly!
Think I've got all the bits I need for cooking a curry this evening. *checks list*
@StephenEThomas Chicken curry that I learned on @Kavey's mum's cooking course :) http://t.co/ApERRCaU0B
@Kavey I'd considered that, but I'm not even sure I've got a big enough pan for it as it stands! I only ever cook for two, normally...
RT @globalmoxie: Sensors everywhere: even cows. Swiss cows send texts when they’re in heat. http://t.co/g7O6TrvYdV #nextUI
@Kavey Two. So I may be halving the recipe. But we'll see what it looks like compared to my pan when I get going...
@Kavey Well, I'll try. And I might start looking out for a bigger saucepan in the shops :D
@waiyeehong @Kavey @ahnlak No, I probably just need a normal family-size pan. I’m just under-panned, what with mostly being single…
Operation chapatti underway ;) http://t.co/rQhtgnKyWn
@Kavey I need more rolling practice. But they’re not bad!
2012
Right. Bedtime. Dentist tomorrow. Bah. If I'd thought it through I'd have changed from my normal first-thing-in-the-morning appointment...
@BradleyLaw @RachelllMorris @athomsull You missed my "k" off! Now I'm *really* depressed :)
Just dragged self out of bed for dentist's appointment. At that moment, receptionist rang and cancelled due to ill hygienist. Oh well.
@r0bb1eh It's not that lucky. I quite like the dentist.
@Mouse_House Poor Mouse. Get well soon.
@r0bb1eh No, I'm just a man who's never had a filling.
@r0bb1eh *jazz hands*
@BlackDogDays *snigger*
@BlackDogDays Oh, is *that* what it is? I just assumed next door had started farming camels.
@tsunimee I know plenty of people who do. Probably depends on how the hot tap water gets heated as to whether it's a good idea.
@DrHairbear Mine are fab. They even call me to remind me of appointments a couple of days in advance.
Coding. And hoping this Giant Cup Of Tea will wake me up enough to make it "successfully coding".
@xabl Bristol Dental Practice, Queen Square. http://t.co/l0YoSPja
@xabl @tsunimee Yur. I reckon I'm fine, as it just goes through a combi boiler straight from the mains for me.
@rabidbee @DrHairbear I have all of my teeth, intact, with no fillings, and I intend to keep them that way as long as possible.
At @sourdoughcafe :) @ St Nicholas Market http://t.co/Xs9D7Weg
Much as I'm enjoying this Bill Bryson book, I think I may need to swap to something with aliens and gunfights for a while.
@SourdoughCafe :D
@boagworld You're not playing with your umwelt in public again, are you?

RT @Hicksdesign: Waiter punching the air while carrying a tray: \o÷
@hayles Now tempted to register "thingsthatdrivehaylescrazy.info". Not sure I've got server capacity for the actual list, though.
@RebeccaFront That's you added to my "Internet gossip flirts" list. #hmph
@lukeredpath Airfoil Speakers should do that, I think.
@lukeredpath Damn. Wish Apple would get of Rogue Amoeba's way and just let them handle the AirTunes stuff. Much more reliable, oddly.

@fdr106 I like Bike, Queens Road, just opposite Habitat side entrance.
Good. Forums are back up and running on a new server, and people are posting new messages, so the world can definitely see us! #getrunning
So, now time to get the Morning Pages done before I run out of time in my Morning...
@benjohnbarnes Hey, we got some fool talking about us! The buzz is working :D
I try to separate marketing and tweeting. Wouldn't want to be the kind of person I don't follow. http://pointlesslink #hashtag
@boagworld And this is _before_ SXSW?
@scottejames @benjohnbarnes *giggle*
Sudden revelation: you know, I think I might actually want to be a computer programmer.
@Lillput No, that's the problem: I'm not. Not any more.
I'm going to find the factory they make heat-welded plastic packaging in and wrap their first aid box and fire extinguishers in the stuff.
@KaveyF not a fan of the new retweet functionalty, then? Know some people don't like it...
@KaveyF Thought most clients had caught up with the feature and showed you now. All of mine do, anyway...
@psidnell No, I really enjoy it.
@psidnell Hey, I even enjoy XSLT. Wrote a fractal generator in it the other day, just for fun. Seriously.
@ahnlak That would probably be one of the many reasons I gave up on TweetDeck.
@dktom Never tried Picasso (never heard of it, in fact...) I'm an old Flickr die-hard, and I really like it.
@fdr106 ...and that's not just because the give free servicing with all their bikes :)
@Bristol_Culture @fdr106 Yup, Mud Dock also good.
@psidnell No, if Skynet was Java-based the UI would be uglier, and Arnold Schwarzenegger would keep stealing RAM instead of motorcycles.
Hurrah! Massage time!
Rebooting a remote control. Can barely believe that's what I'm doing, but it's what I'm doing.
@mhoulden Yes. We all should.
@DrHairbear Mmm. Harmony 555. Which does in fact seem to work, despite needing more reboots than a copy of Windows on a Tuesday.
@DrHairbear I have no ginger syrup. But I will try to be careful with the honey.
Favourite photo of the day: http://flic.kr/p/7JAVmz <-- Looks best big.
Recently I have been getting around to a lot of things after having worried about them for roughly twice as long as it took to do them.
@hayles Pretentious. Oh, wait, that's not what you were asking, is it?
@KaveyF Ta, sweetie :)
@hayles Translation: We took pork with apple sauce, made the portions smaller, and broke it.
@hayles Although, to be fair, last thing I had with "jus" was at Goldbrick House, and was very nice.
2009
Okay, who broke LiveJournal?
Downer: just missed interesting sounding The Bottom Line episode on R4, including Spinvox's founder. Upper: there's a podcast.
Right. Bedroom-tidying time, before I run out of energy for the evening. Oh, what a rock-n-roll lifestyle I lead.
I care not what you think of me. I love Peter Doherty.
@rabidbee Well, it's kinda... virtual.
@Lillput and Bristol-based, too!
Anyone into both science and music should definitely check out the Geep Pop (virtual) festival! http://www.geekpop.co.uk/
Hmm. So, did my electrician not leave me a message like he says, or did SpinVox drop it somewhere? Hmm.
