Pah. Suddenly remembering the Jaegermeister in the freezer and wondering if it will work as cough mixture as well as you’d think. #
Now coughing a sickly sweet secret blend of herbs and spices. #
@meryl_f eek! (taking photos? 🙂 #
Neologism of the day: Brushling (=Broxtowe, Rushcliffe & Gedling districts) #
Hmmm. This sounds like Diana Krall covering “I can see clearly now the Rain has gone” at half tempo. Surely not?! #
Mentally making up smutty jokes about the woman in Thornton’s brandishing an Archimedes Screw. #
Sitting in retail park slightly longer than strictly necessary to watch people trying to fit dining suite into small car. #

@kayray “It’s never lupus” – I knew instantly you were talking about House 🙂 🙂 🙂 #
Finding a mystery half-eaten packet of Jacobs Cream Crackers behind my monitor. Don’t remember those. Happily only slightly soggy. #
Good grief. This Trillian MSN client makes quite a lot of surprising pings when you’re not expecting it. #
So… 5am… we meet again. #
Hoping no-one was watching that dismal attempt at parking. #
@jamesgraham That’s a tory lapdancing scandal I really don’t want #
@markpack Tories have had a good idea about memory sticks: http://tinyurl.com/433ws3 #

Tech q – is anyone out there using both Nokia Mail for Exchange AND GooSync for multiple diary synchronisation? #
@mawawa Hmmm, walked past Geoff Blore many times. Do you reckon he would buy books off me…? #
Discovering (well, admitting to discovering) damp in my wardrobe from the wall, and wondering What Must be Done. #

Eep, I’ve been playing Spore for 9 hours straight. I’m not even sure I like it! Damn you, http://xkcd.com/480/ #
More than slightly perturbed that Google thinks I want “new and used Pig slaughterlines” #
Google is 10? Ee by eck, I feel old. #
@kayray The Reginald Hill books are marvellous. I bought them all for 1p each on Amazon and read them in order a few years ago. #
Horrifying myself on checking online banking to see how many Lib Dem standing orders I have. 10! Eek! #
@kayray bought second hand paperbacks from Amazon – 1p + p&p which is usually quite a lot more 🙂 #

Have you heard: "Lembit quits Lib Dem shadow cabinet to focus on three-way fight for presidency" http://tinyurl.com/4r8aea #
Chopping up pizza to the sound of obese Australian children dancing. #
@willhowells cryptic good luck! #

Necking sherry to ease the pain. #
@doctorvee is it a photo of people? Was it taken indoors? Do you want to retain copyright? Is payment adequate? #
@jamesgraham Youtube don’t work on Chrome, at least not for me. #
Boy in the striped pajamas – OMFG. #

@helenduffett eh? Grandmother, will you be emitting a Tweet later? eh up, me duck, off t’twitter ferra bit? #
Making labels using Open Office. Gouging out my own eyes would be preferable. #
I don’t believe it. Now it’s printing the same label millions of times, with only the top right label on each page changing. Why? #
Oh, dammit, the toner has run out, aargh! #
It hasn’t run out you stupid printer, it’s not even showing any signs of running out. #
Oh, excellent. Every label two characters to the left. And a blank page after every sheet. Just what the doc ordered. #

Heading off to a Fire&Rescue training day with a simulated critical incident involving other emergency services on a deserted RAF base. #
So, it turns out, deserted airstrips are harder to find than you’d think. #
Mobile scientific support identify haz mat. It’s flour. They warn there is an unidentified biological component. I’m guessing wheat. #
Observer: “Voters prefer Tory policies to the Labour alternative by a margin of almost two to one” Eh? What policies? #
Firing up Firefox to watch a video because they seem to have stopped working in Chrome. Remembering how much I liked my plugins. #
@psychobel Go the erm, reds? Or are they the black and white stripey ones? #
@markpack it’s lower case at the top of the page… #
@helenduffett Indeed – eg Liberal Tweets in title case, but sending a tweet in the middle of a sentence. #
Cought, cough, cough, cough, ow, cough cough. #
