@UrsulaWJ @chubbybannister It's a reasonable risk on the one at the top of Whiteladies road because the alternative is dying of old age.

@TravisinaB7 MAXIMUM POWER!

@Antimitch Cool. Where *is* your blog, by the way?
@OpinionatedGeek Don't you technically need thruppence *and* a ha'penny to be on the rich list?
@chrisphin Awww. Looks like it'll hit just before my 65th birthday. It'll either generate great retirement income or wipe out my pension.

Spent a couple of my working hours this afternoon at my other office, also know as @BaristasBristol :D
Pretty glad I got my "being outdoors" bit out of the way earlier today. As it is, the rain's just pleasant background noise.

@Thehappyfatgirl At the Islay Whisky Festival :D
@Thehappyfatgirl It’s in the Inner Hebrides. If it’s peaty, it’s probably from Islay. Queen of the Hebrides and mostly made of peat :D

Hurrah! I just successfully made myself a Greek coffee. Can’t quite get my head around my parents’ Gold Blend consumption…
@ChinaShopBull Instant is still quite big round here. In fact, word for non-traditional coffee in Crete is “νεσκαφε” (”Nescafé”)! Real…
@ChinaShopBull …Greek coffee is finely-powdered roast coffee boiled up and served as-is, with the grounds settling to sludge in cup.
@ChinaShopBull Yup; my parents live here. Lovely place. I’m way to the west, in Kalyves, not far from the other airport.
Always amazing how many glasses three people can generate at a Greek table. http://t.co/3CHin5wk
My parents' Greek lesson is going on next door. It mostly seems to consist of laughing.
Floppy. http://t.co/VFgnUy70

Me, to Dad, just now: “Pinstripe trousers and a fur coat!? What career did you have in mind for me, ‘investment pimp’?” http://t.co/irtZGOVN
Right, that’s all of 1970s Matt for now. Once I’ve figured out which photos to take home and done some scanning, there may be another few.
@hayles Not a sentence I thought I’d ever hear…
@BradleyLaw Oopsie. On the plus side, if it is the drive, presumably that’s the easiest bit of a MacBook to replace?
@missemmeline You found some work? Cool! Enjoy sofa :)
This is the first time I've actually seen an ice cream sandwich, I think. #britishandroiddev http://t.co/X1QnQ9Wj

Right. Bathtime. With Interzone. I may be a while. Then lots of tidying up of messy flat.

Tiiiired. But flat not even half tidied yet. Bugger.
Seriously, I leave the news alone for a couple of days and *these* are the headlines I come back to? http://twitpic.com/54aa8e
@archidave Waving jars of vinegar and shaking dill at them can scare them off, I hear.
@shezza_t Of all the BBC videos to have no sound!
Ugh. Not feeling too brilliant. Think I shall head for bed and see if whatever it is is cured by sleep.
@maverick_mummy Nah. Must've been something healthy I ate. My body probably hasn't recognised it as food.
Audioboo: Still fiddling with this. Still don't know what to do with it. http://boo.fm/b370920
@maverick_mummy Not that I recall.
Where was I? Oh, yes, going to bed AN HOUR AGO. Gawd, I'm rubbish.
