  • Surprise of morning train on time offset by delays on @jubileeline. Train to Charing Cross it is then. #
  • Apparently our toilet poltergeist has returned. #
  • Headlines on BBC News: “Global shares continue to slide” and “UK beer sales continue to slide”. Won’t somebody think of the breweries? #
  • Wondering if the credit crunch has lead to an increase in annoying sales calls. #
  • Easing myself back into object-oriented PHP. #
  • @nimbos Oh great :( #
  • Code works. For some very slow values of works. #
  • London Bridge clock says 8pm. GMT FAIL. #
  • “Face like a Manchester morgue” - 10 points to Charlie Brooker for the zombie film ref! #

  • Watching one of my bits of software being thrown by the switch to GMT. #
  • Phew. For a minute there I thought we were out of gravy granules. #
  • More fifth season X-Files. Fancy some Wii action after. #
  • @markpack Excellent, thanks :) #
  • Watching Stephen King’s It. #
  • @nimbos The similarity is quite notable :) #
  • @wherenext Think I may have to give up before my brain melts. Have sent in my best shot so far. #

  • Playing with data of, politely, variable quality. #
  • Still can’t quite believe Hole in the Wall is shown on primetime TV. #
  • @girlonetrack I have the BTTF box set. I know this doesn’t help any :) #

  • Installing new release of Google Mail on my phone. #
  • Realising I didn’t really know where I was going but this large group of people looks promising. #
  • Think I have spotted @Reynolds and @edent through the darkness. #
  • Listening to Neil Gaiman on piracy. #
  • Really good talk. Gaiman v engaging. Mental note to track down videos of him reading his short stories. #
  • Once again feeling inordinately and inappropriately proud at having picked the right carriage on the train to minimise the post-train walk. #

  • Missed all the blogging discussion on Today as my radio is long wave, so Yesterday in Parliament for me. #
  • @katebevan Really sorry to hear that x #
  • @nimbos Usually switched off by then. YiP is good for catching up and is Humphreys-free. #
  • Using our staff meeting for speed dating. #
  • Toying with the idea of a weekend @wherenext treasure hunt cum pub crawl. Would need a posse though… #
  • @vero I’ve just done the same. Chinese for me :) #
  • Should probably confess ahead of tomorrow’s Neil Gaiman ORG talk - which I’m looking forward to - that I’ve never read any of his stuff :-S #

  • Log into my email to find loads of spam trackback blog notifications. Akismet FAIL. #
  • In project management training. Spending time twittering not coming up in project task lists so far. #
  • Amused to discover that someone I emailed at work yesterday turns out to be my third cousin. #
  • @jamesgraham Who’s your alumnus? What did you teach them? ;-) #
  • Never before have I seen curry delivery be a two-man job. Noms may be imminent. #
  • @ruskin147 I can recall when Ben was standing for stuff in NUS when I was still involved about 5 years ago… #

  • I continue to be amazed by Southern’s inability to run a consistent train service the moment a cool snap hits. #
  • @flashboy Ah, I’ve had that - plays for a few seconds then stops. #
  • @flashboy One of the gorillas. #
  • I have donated: http://www.justgiving.com/atheistbus #
  • Suspect my tooth pain is being caused by the early stages of a wisdom tooth. And I thought I was doing so well without it. #
  • @alexfoster You could be right - I don’t know about there things. It feels toothy but it could be a badly located ulcer. #

  • The good thing about walking home through deserted streets is that I can mime along with my iPod without looking like an idiot. #
  • Well, without anyone being able to see me looking like an idiot at least. #
  • @qwghlm The Notes application? #
  • @qwghlm Yep. It should offer you the chance to add it if you go to the admin bit. #
  • Thanks to @po8crg for network security advice. Systems now working well :) #
  • Told off in the street by @iaindale for being online. Twittering this. #
  • @snapesbabe Watch it with the SJ spoilers! #

  • West Wing complete seven series box set cheaper than two single season box sets? Bargainous. #

  • @jamesgraham Russ Abbot is in Sarah Jane, yes. #
  • I appear to be walking on broken glass. I am Annie Lennox AICM5UKP. #

  • Cast my vote for LibDem party president but not allowed to say for whom. Now dodging tourists in Westminster. Friday’s always the worst. #

  • Passing Michael thingy from Newsnight. You know, the Jeffrey Archer man. Him. #
  • Also just learnt from Wikipedia that the UK ended school BCG vaccinations in 2005. #
  • @wherenext Skulking around a giant 4… #

  • @secretlondon Sounds interesting. Now perusing http://www.londongamesfringe.com #
  • @helenroper Not cost-effective, apaprently. 94 vaccinations to prevent 1 case had become 12,000 to prevent each case. #
  • My workplace must be in the bottom 1% for chances of a visit from the Queen. Somewhere slightly above the offices of Republic… #
  • @joswinson At least you should be able to get a full refund. I’m about to post a claim to Virgin… #
  • Just mistook the green traffic light for the green man. Oops. Bad crossing design obviously. Nothing to do with my reading twitter. #
