- @steevbishop Oh god, what’s up with the new bear? He’s all thick lines and shit! #
- @erikamoen I feel exactly the same when my PC does stupids & my KBoard switches to US settings. Didn’t even know I USED the @ key that much! #
- @caseymckinnon … Course, then there’s the issue of whether or not the nerdy fanboy should be poking his nose there in the first place…;) #
- So, bought 2000AD, had spontaneous funtimes with @steevbishop, watched Criminal Minds pilot (nice) & CSI episode (Hm) & slept. What now? #
- Oh, plus read @davidbaillie’s first Future Shock – Nice! & @tonylee’s Stalag 666 – which did NOT deserve the response it got, far as I see. #
- Tut. Got Tony Lee’s Twitter name wrong. #
- Got gifted a lovely new Threadless tee-shirt by Girl One. LOVE IT! Will be wearing it all day. http://is.gd/7sfM #
- Girl One is teh awesome, dudes. #
- @laineyw You are probably right – I tend to ignore Children In Need. And children in need. And homeless people. OMG, I’M AN MISANTHROPE! #
- @joshhechinger Ayup, it is, isn’t it? @steevbishop I’m afraid so! Pretty much everything after work yesterday was pleasant surprises. Yay! #
- @laineyw … as are children in need. They, like, want stuff. They’re all wanty & needy about it. & they smell. Of old ice cream. #
- @laineyw I am, of course, being arch. If I could take a hammer to the chaps in that Despatches doc from other night, I certainly would… #
- … Just not big on organised charities, or the way they carry themselves these days. Those contractors flooding the city centre are evil! #
- @laineyw @steevbishop As with many things, I agree with the principle, but dislike the execution. Except when I disagree with the principle. #
- @steevbishop I am increasingly disgusted by the guys who come to your door. On our street, they now come in pairs of young men… #
- @steevbishop … & think nothing of pressuring themselves into the hallway when as far as they know there is only a woman home alone. #
- @steevbishop … This summer, they’re also antagonistic if you try to politely decline, much more than the guys streetside. #
- @mrtonylee For anything in particular, or just generally?
Yeah, I know, I’m rubbish. On the other hand, check out this sweeeeet shirt… # - @laineyw I most certainly did. They didn’t seem that bothered, but I let it slide. Girl One handled it fine, but worried for old folk. #
- @laineyw Though it’s now happened with 2 different charities. Still, it helps me convince G1 that we should get a sign on the door. #
- No Unsolicited Reprobates, Vagabonds, Crooks, Creeps, Children, Utilities, Salespersons or Charities. Solicited Reprobates Welcome. #
- @caseymckinnon By today’s standards, that’s true. At the time it was pretty horrible, if also funny. Like most Moore. But it’s ALL dark now. #
- @laineyw Though I dislike the intrusion, that’d been my experience up till this year. Mind, that was compared to the Utility peeps. #
- Damn. I wanted to go to ThoughtBubble. And I’ve got a headache. Dang! Still, a half day today! #
- @steevbishop My standard response now is “If there’s a website, we’ll look at it. We don’t do things like this on the doorstep.” #
- @steevbishop But they persist. @sulman’s complaint, which I agree with, is that they FORCE you to be rude. Polite declining should suffice. #
- Don’t worry, @kellysue , it isn’t that good. Otherwise, I’d suggest the ejection of his wardrobe post-haste. THERE ARE RULES, DAMMIT! #
