  • @steevbishop The MP3 player…! Or maybe, uh… the radio waves… in reply to steevbishop #
  • @BeaucoupKevin It does not make you gay. An early crush of mine was Bob from Blackadder. Oh, & the cabin boy from some old Carry On movie. #
  • (@BeaucoupKevin Hang on… just realised that my tweet in no way gives a rationale for why it isn’t gay… oh dear…) #
  • Confession: When coffeeing on Sunday I didn’t mention using TweetDeck, because I know how @steevbishop feels about Air. Secrets feel dirty! #
  • Also, to the couple that we went out drinking with the other week: Sometimes I DO wipe afterwards. I was just too embarrassed to admit it. #
  • Wow, this feels pretty good. Jo, I should have been nicer to you when we dated at school, but 14 year old boys are retarded. #
  • @marcellerby That whole Breeders album is just beautiful. Music that wouldn’t make sense on paper, but sounds just awesome out loud! in reply to marcellerby #
  • @steevbishop But it is! I never learn! It’s like… people tell me the right thing to think, and ten minutes later it’s just gone again… in reply to steevbishop #
  • @steevbishop … I’m all, like “oooh, it’s black and shiny, like a sex toy!” And then come the stares… in reply to steevbishop #
  • @marcellerby I don’t think I’ve HEARD much else aside from that album, to be honest. Still loved the band name “Kim Deal Or No Deal”! in reply to marcellerby #
  • @SamShepherd, Girl One & I play Carcassonne LOADS! In fact, the fact that you can play it on X-Box 360 is an attractive selling point. in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @Sulman RE: http://is.gd/l4zR – 3/4 of parents? I wonder what % of citizens aren’t parents? Do we get a say? in reply to Sulman #
  • (@Sulman Being arch, of course… I think we already know how stupid shit like that is.) #
  • @thoughtmecca If I had the chance to do it all over again… in reply to thoughtmecca #
  • @jock4twenty How did The Wire work out for you? I am envious… wish I was watching it for the first time again… #
  • Watchmen review: http://is.gd/kXGR. Well, tut. You can make ANYTHING sound stupid, if you say it in that tone of voice… #
  • “ANOTHER multi billion bailout & bonuses SHOULD get the banks back in line!”. “MONOGAMY is EASY!”. See? #
  • Okay, so “Operation: Buy Glasses Online” has begun. Going with Glasses Direct, order in, will report back as things progress. #
  • Thus far, their website was easy to navigate, prescription input intuitive, & designs search/filter-able. #
  • I opted for the “Cushy” frame at £19, with scratch-resist at £5. £3.75 postage makes it £27.75. Which for glasses is amazing. Will wait/see. #
  • (One niggle, & it’s a tiny one, is that the order form/receipt isn’t ideally formatted for print. Easily dealt with, but it stands out.) #
  • @glasses_direct At the moment, all is groovy. Can’t complain about the online ordering process, picking glasses and payment very easy… in reply to glasses_direct #
  • @glasses_direct … but then it’s the next bit that’s hard, where companies sometimes fall down, so we’ll see! Pleasant experience thus far. in reply to glasses_direct #
  • @glasses_direct Falling down is the point at which a company HAS your custom, so doesn’t bother trying to keep you happy any more… in reply to glasses_direct #
  • @glasses_direct … so it’s easy to order but if there’s a problem with the product or service suddenly it’s impossible to get hold of them. in reply to glasses_direct #
  • @glasses_direct “Oooh, that’s good” would be if it all goes great, or if there ARE problems, for them not to be a problem to solve. in reply to glasses_direct #
  • Listening to 07/02 Adam & Joe podcast, about pathetic domestics. It’s painting a picture: Every example is autistic male vs bipolar female! #
  • @whoop_uk Dude, do you have your library’s copy? One of your colleagues asked after Watchmen last night, but I thought you had it… in reply to whoop_uk #
  • @glasses_direct Blimey… thanks for the updates! I haven’t bought new glasses in ages, so intrigued to see how this turns out… in reply to glasses_direct #
  • @whoop_uk There are a few recommendations in, I think. Has your library had any new graphic novels in since I left? in reply to whoop_uk #
  • @whoop_uk Oh tut… I haven’t thought about FE library friendly graphic novels in AGES! Though there are probably series to continue there. in reply to whoop_uk #
  • @whoop_uk Oh, so he dies does he? ;) in reply to whoop_uk #
  • HAH! Way behind on Adam & Joe. They just did a radio-friendly re-enactment of the Bale freakout thingie. Teehee, they make me laugh… #
  • Hah! Someone else tweeted it, but I enjoyed listening to this: Everything’s Amazing, Nobody’s Happy: http://is.gd/kdtE #
  • @steevbishop On t’other hand, an old colleague with sour grapes bitched about something NAMING NAMES on her FB status, with no consequence. in reply to steevbishop #
  • @steevbishop There’s an inconsistency to the way employers deal with stuff like this, isn’t there? Should add that eg wasn’t about me or G1. in reply to steevbishop #
  • @steevbishop … Fuck, it’s hard having a proper discreet conversation in Twitter. When did I stop using e-mail addresses? in reply to steevbishop #
