  • @helenduffett Helvetica? Not moleskine? If it’s gonna be a font, I’m voting Caslon Old Face. #
  • Pondering the possibility of using typeface names as cursewords. Oh, helvetica neue condensed, late again! #
  • Suggesting #digitalbritain as a possible subject for Council scrutiny. #
  • Lib Dems publish manifesto. Unreadable to tritanopes or people who like good graphic design http://tr.im/lb6l #fontwonkery #
  • Well, whaddya know. The awful font they’re using for headers in the manifesto is… have you guessed it? Helvetica. #
  • RT @ianvisits I am struggling tonight – would MPs who abused their expense claims be cast into the 4th or 8th circle of Dante’s Inferno? #
  • Apparently newsreaders earn about as much as, erm, Lib Dem chief executives… http://tr.im/lbbz #
  • @owenblacker Twitter demands a daily kitten photodiary! #
  • As Lib Dem expense rows come out, remember “your vote is for the next five years, not the last five days” http://tr.im/lbuY #
  • Are you kidding me? Private Eye implodes as boring MP actually claims money for trouserpress? http://www.libdemvoice.org/?p=14420 #
  • @rfenwick it’s helvetica in the PDF I downloaded. Arial has slanty t tops. Both are too boring for principle headers. #
  • @rfenwick and doesn’t another party use light blue and wavy curves? #
  • @rfenwick PS I love the dotty map. Well done for remembering Gibraltar and the Orkneys and Shetland. #
  • @rfenwick we paid an agency for that? a *design* agency?! have they worked before? did we see their back catalogue? #

  • @stuartsharpe @himmelgarten I was more highlighting the spelling of hositing. #
  • Wondering if the lack of a Chief Exec at Full Council means we’ve sacked another one. #
  • Ah no, it seems the CX was just late. #
  • Really pleased Cllr Leon Unczur is going to be Sheriff of Nottingham this year. #
  • Enjoying a subtle barbed speech intro: “Council Leader, ladies and gentlemen…” #
  • @stephenbarker surely tweeting in meetings is only passing notes if someone else is reading them? #
  • @stephenbarker otherwise tweeting meetings is valuable way of engaging public in work of Council. #
  • @stephenbarker you should be listening to the leader when he’s criticising expenditure in your dept #
  • Giving an alarmingly on message quote to Evening Post. #
  • Good lord, Iain Dale wears £75 ties! http://bit.ly/1ScrD #
  • RT @ilovetypography: Thank you ILT readers. Win a red Helvetica Moleskine. Just retweet. Announce winner Thursday. #

  • Good grief, the 5th at St Peters is harder work than it need be. #
  • Wahey, I made the LDV Golden Dozen for the second time in my blogging life. Go me. http://tr.im/kZjT #
  • “It’s BRAHMS! BRAHMS THIRD RACKET!” Apparently there’s some Fawlty Towers I haven’t seen #
  • Glad @willhowells avoided spoilers. The suggestion that there some means presumably we should get on with seeing Star Trek? #

  • Enjoying Brum’s Cllr Deirdre Lol http://lolitics.co.uk/ #
  • Cllr Deidre Lol: Hats! http://bit.ly/qq5WC #
  • Sampling latest batch of home-made vinegar. Incredibly vinegary. Slight odd smell – ketones? #
  • Not sure I’d want to be “hosited on my own petard.” #
  • @miss_s_b am I old enough to read your beards post? #
  • Standard leaflet prob: “Vote Lib Dem on June 4” comes out as “Vote Lib Demon”. #
