• @steevbishop On t’other hand, I ate 2 pub burgers yesterday, & possibly drank too much, got in NO dancing, but made a difficult night fun… in reply to steevbishop #

• @georgelondon It’s the combo of Burton on production & Bekmambetov directing that’s got me intrigued. Both are incredible visual stylists. in reply to georgelondon #
• @RedMummy Heh… Cool beans! I would be nothing but disappointment if he met me, though. in reply to RedMummy #
• @RedMummy … I would say: “It’s no use, sir… it’s disappointment all the way down.”. Lou is probably a MUCH BETTER hero to have. in reply to RedMummy #
• @mrtonylee That would be nice. I liked Donna… she was exceptional, because there was NO sexual tension between she and Dr. in reply to mrtonylee #

• @belle_lulu I’m surprised anybody still has people TO FF. Surely there’s a finite number of potential candidates for each Tweeter. in reply to belle_lulu #
• Follow Friday leaves me even colder in light of Twitter’s continued unwillingness to #fixreplies. My timeline is a ghost town. #
• I should clarify that I’m not against a new Madness release…just a little perturbed that not knowing about it is somehow a badge of shame! #
• Unfortunately, now it’s actually WORK to get even a fraction of the lovely experience we used to have… @steevbishop, on #fixreplies #
• … & part of why that experience was lovely was that it happened organically/ambiently. #fixreplies #
• Jesus, I was only asking for a small screwdriver! Didn’t think it’d be that controversial. #
• Yes, monitors are getting bigger. But more people are using space-limited mobile devices, too. #
• Have Twitter fixed the random unfollows problem? Because if they haven’t, this #fixreplies issue is even more problematic… #
• I am kind of enjoying Quirk’s Evil Little Webcomic: http://is.gd/ITDT. More random/uncertain than A Softer World, but it has potential. #
• @steevbishop Actually not sure – just remember people talking about it before as an issue, wondering if it still sometimes happens… in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop …For me, there were odd times when I turned out NOT to be following someone that I thought I was, but unsure what happened. in reply to steevbishop #

• @steevbishop There was a brief suggestion earlier of shifting one of our key web services onto a fixed-width design. Works for my sites, … in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop …But those aren’t corporate/educational delivery services. My instinct says that if digital ubiquity is what’s aimed for… in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop …fixed width designs don’t allow as much for diversity of delivery method. in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop True enough. I’m far from certain on the subject, just the lack of question of its merit in this case seemed… odd to me. in reply to steevbishop #

• If @douglasnoble will insist on practicing blow-job technique on his lunchtime ice-lolly, he’s going to get stares. Work it homegirl! #
• @steevbishop @georgelondon Good points all, and VERY well made. Especially about the jeans… in reply to steevbishop #
• @laineyw Well, it’s all fine here… in reply to laineyw #
• @georgelondon Now there is an idea… in reply to georgelondon #
• @georgelondon Or maybe this time, he could crush on the companion but she could be not interested. Or have NO lovin’ at all! in reply to georgelondon #
• Oh hell yes! 9? – http://is.gd/J6s2 #
• Ha! RT @CollingsA: New Dr Who companion “beat off dozens of hopefuls to land one of television’s most coveted roles.” Who’d be an actor, eh? #
• Oh for fuck’s sake it’s hard work sometimes. #

I love a good musical, me. I also really like Girl One’s family, and having stuff done for me.

A couple of weeks back – on Saturday 16/05/2009 – I experienced a perfect confluence of these three things, when Girl One and I went to London on a day-trip – long arranged by the Girl herself, and all but forgotten by me – to see Les Miserables at Queen’s Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue with her parents, sister and brother in law.

It was a relatively early weekend start for us – and coming just a week after the lack-of-sleep fest of the Bristol Con the week before, I’ve found I’m still recovering a couple of weeks later. Still, early or no, we managed to get to Waterloo around 10.30, only a little bedraggled and hungry.

• @thoughtmecca Oh, 24 is AWESOME TV. It has the most adorably confused politics of any entertainment unit EVER. I love it! in reply to thoughtmecca #
• @thoughtmecca But yes, the 2 Arab businessmen were proper brave. They mitigated their progressiveness somewhat with Arab terrorists later… in reply to thoughtmecca #
• @thoughtmecca Most notably with story featuring Kal Penn – now trusted aide to YOUR president! Oh my god! THERE’S teh terrorist connection! in reply to thoughtmecca #
• @Sulman I figured I’d give it a go… I mean, how hard can it be? in reply to Sulman #
• RT @steevbishop: @nixsight @sulman The ghost of Cho Seung–hui haunts you. http://tr.im/m4W5 #
• @laineyw You’re very welcome, sleepy girl. Wondering if it’s my preoccupation with the BNP that has tickled you…? in reply to laineyw #
• @laineyw Heh, it is all LOL all the time in the wondrous world of IT. Where apparently I work. Though there is much confusion on that score. in reply to laineyw #
• @Sulman 2 minutes sounds like an awfully long time. Can’t you just jot out a few bullet points on an e-mail? I reckon I can pick it up… in reply to Sulman #
• @apatheticmike Is your stationers Rymans? in reply to apatheticmike #
• Hm. From watching the Surrogates trailer, I can safely say I want to watch the movie. But also that nobody else should watch the trailer… #
• … It feels like one long spoiler. #
• @RedMummy It’s nice here… are you going to London, or you just being super kind to Londoners? in reply to RedMummy #
• @RedMummy I actually ache. All over. For no good reason. Find myself distracted by Amazon special offers, too. in reply to RedMummy #
• @apatheticmike If t IS Rymans, that might also be true. They really bring the stationary products…! in reply to apatheticmike #
• @RedMummy That… wasn’t me? I think it was @SorenLorensen… in reply to RedMummy #
• @RedMummy Oh god, I hope I don’t have the swine lurgie… in reply to RedMummy #
• @apatheticmike Lucky guess… It’s mine too. The queue is normally for the post office in the back, which has been there a while. in reply to apatheticmike #
• @apatheticmike …Tho the stationery staff are pretty slow, so could be them too! in reply to apatheticmike #
• @RedMummy Huh… that sounds pretty serious. You should get that looked at! in reply to RedMummy #
• @RedMummy What @belle_lulu said. in reply to RedMummy #
• @marcellerby Aww… you’re a young ‘un, aren’tcha? in reply to marcellerby #
• I think MY #firstrecord was Hole In My Shoe by Neil of the Young Ones. #
• @RedMummy I can see potential logistical problems with that particular course of action… in reply to RedMummy #
• @RedMummy Well, I don’t know… I guess we can run interference here for a while. in reply to RedMummy #
• @belle_lulu @RedMummy HAH! in reply to belle_lulu #
• Actually now wondering if I should see a doctor. Had assumed that this was just a back strain, but now EVERYTHING above waist hurts… #
• … Though below the waist it’s all groovy, baby! #
• Ack* Hurts… To… Laugh… At… Own awful… Jokes! #
• @Bournemouthecho It’s not working! For me, anyway… in reply to Bournemouthecho #
• @Bournemouthecho It links to: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en But I get an: {errorText:”Unable to contact server.”}! #
• @psychicsarah Aww, thanks! That should help. Also, the ibuprofen I just took may kick in soon too! in reply to psychicsarah #
• @RedMummy Heh… I think they all got the wailing out of their system when I came off the market the last time… in reply to RedMummy #
• @acheverton I think the film. It’s one of those really really explicit trailers. in reply to acheverton #
• @acheverton (I didn’t snag the book, nopes. Didn’t notice it, actually…) in reply to acheverton #
• @Bournemouthecho MUCH better… that works, and is interesting viewing… in reply to Bournemouthecho #
• @RedMummy LOL. in reply to RedMummy #
• @psychicsarah Heh… I’m an all-the-way-through sceptic… I’ve got as much faith in ibuprofen as anything else, so all aid appreciated! Ta! in reply to psychicsarah #
• @RedMummy Rot? Jeez… not sure what you’re picturing, but now I’m UTTERLY grossed out… in reply to RedMummy #
• @steevbishop As if the fact that his name is “Rampage4real” isn’t good enough? Jeez, I want to follow him, & I don’t care for the sports… in reply to steevbishop #
• I find I’m bored of this particular task. Wondering if it’s that it’s a boring task, or that it requires collaboration to agitating degree. #
• Was vaguely wondering yesterday whether I’ve hit my new-tech threshold. I ACTUALLY find it difficult to imagine moving away from hard media. #
• … Games, Movies, TV, Music, Books… I don’t want the only copy of things that I have paid for to exist in digital format. I LIKE shelves. #
• @RedMummy I refer you to my earlier tweets on aches and pains? Also, to a long history of lack of leg coordination…! in reply to RedMummy #
• @steevbishop My musings were based on realisation that while so much media seems to be gearing toward downloads, I am largely unmoved by it, in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop …& when a new game demands web connection every restart, I get antsy. Problem not so much with the tech as with worrying… in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop …feeling that media outlets are doing this because this is what everybody else wants. If that’s the case, I’m out of step… in reply to steevbishop #
• http://bit.ly/rwgfh – DAMN YOU GEORGE LUCAS! #
• @idsharman @douglasnoble Wait, what? Oh, gosh, no – I didn’t read the complicated information underneath… I was talking about Kenny Baker. in reply to idsharman #
• “Consistently entertaining albeit random”, @Bournemouthecho? I like that. I suspect my colleagues may disagree! #
• Colleague just responded defensively to me commenting on unintuitive nature of system that I assumed was 3rd party but that he had built… #
• …By saying that if I thought I could do better, then I was welcome to try. I had to reply that I’m not a coder, so wouldn’t even try… #
• … This exchange will be absolutely hilarious to one – & probably ONLY one – of the people reading this. Apologies to the rest… #
• RT @iainlee: Although knowing the EU they’ve probably banned it, like they did with space dust and arson. Bastards. #
• @steevbishop If you can remember much of our conversation with @Sulman the other night, you might have an even more refined view on it! in reply to steevbishop #
• @Sulman But… but your avatar is smirking…! I think you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about! in reply to Sulman #
• @trapphic Keep ‘em coming… in reply to trapphic #
• @misterwallace You’ll probably just have started them off again… in reply to misterwallace #
