@willhowells did you know @thoughlygood has already saved you the trouble? #
@willhowells considering fake outrage that you *weren’t* in Amsterdam. For me the fun of Eurovish is the novelty of the songs on the night. #

Stretching a tent out to dry. Tents indoors smell horrid. #
Driving past the White Postmodern Farm. #
Back to the Print Cave for an election special. And a chance to read some novel while page 1 goes through. #

Getting paid for a “grab” (first ring at a new tower) by ringing for a wedding. #

Ooh, interesting. We’ve just had our Euro election polling cards. #
@karinjr heh, apparently it was totally incoherent. There has been much mocking since 🙂 #
@thoroughlygood I once did something similar to Rita Chakrabarti at a press conference. #
@thoroughlygood in fact, it was at this press conference: http://tinyurl.com/dxbtd5 #
@thoroughlygood it’s my other half with the obvious love of @AcornAntiques. The phrases rub off after a while. Slice them finely, Mrs O #

I think I’ve seen 67/250 of the films on the list http://250.s-anand.net/ (via @owenblacker @jenblower) #
@qwghlm R fathr n hevn, ur great, we’ll do what you say, feed us, forgive us and we’ll forgive, don’t tempt us, save us. #
#BBCR4 broadcasting the full list of soldiers killed in Iraq. Taking a long, sombre time to get through the all the names. #
Wowed by a single, bright, crepuscular ray in South Notts. #
Thinking about all the stuff I have to do before I can start drinking. #
Two nights ago I woke up shouting and woke the house up with me. #

@adambird I should hope so – according to their promos it takes months to learn to chop vegetables properly. Can’t afford high turnover! #
@jamesgraham soyez le bienvenue! bonnes vacances! (PS how busy is the train today?) #
@helenduffett bet it’s cold down there too #
Staring helplessly at the computer screen unable to work out why the work isn’t doing itself. Bah. Sniffle. Bleurgh. Oink. #
Not sure whether I prefer “snoutbreak” or “armagammon” #
@onthehour 4 o’clock? Already ? It can’t be! #
Wow. “Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg organised the drubbing” according to #BBCr4 headline #ghurka #
Nottm MPs Simpson and Palmer amongst Lab #Ghurka rebels. Shame on Heppell and Allen. http://tr.im/k2l0 #
@owenblacker Still strangely fond of “snoutbreak” mesen. #
@madamemish Speed restrictions, hence need for engineering works. Target is “Nottingham in 90” http://tr.im/k5v6 #
@tonytheaker don’t forget a tin opener 🙂 #

Trying to resist the temptation to type “@jamesgraham you mean you don’t already?” Curses! Failed! #
Finding it very hard to believe the govt wanna tear down a successful windfarm and replace with with a nuclear power plant http://tr.im/jUTg #
The number of Actimel pots and catfood tins soaking in the sink betrays how long it’s been since we last washed up. #
I can’t hear right and my nose is blocked. Blaming #swineflu. #
Spicy curry will show those swine who’s boss! #
Walls sausage ad seems to be saying they make sausages out of the two best bits of small children. #
Lego Silence of the Lambs – The Musical! (NSFW) http://tr.im/jYon #

@rfenwick I’ve always wanted a go with an autocue, I think I’d be good 🙂 in reply to rfenwick #

I’ve lost my label-making machine under a pile of unfiled papers. #gtd #fail #gtdfail #
Sunny afternoon has ended. The sky has closed in, the pressure is dropping, and now it feels like rain. #
Ooh, wow, it looks like they’re beginning to dismantle the Nottingham Wheel. #
@smuttley do you not like t’wheel? I didn’t manage to go on it this year. #

Just passed @miketd’s weekend refuge and suprised not to find village blog URL on roadsigns yet. #
Afternoon mini bellringing outing in’t Peak District. Trying to read OS map and drive. Hartington first. #
Ooh, National Trust tea-room, you say? Don’t mind if I do. #
Being asked to stop making the “Oh my Ilam in de sun” joke. #
Ee, but the countryside is grand. Safely home in city now. Necking a pint of coffee before heading out to see In’t Loop. #
@miketd sadly ringing tour was too tightly timed for tempting tea diversions. Hope PDMG is looking good in all this sun! #

Saw a poster for Little Shop of Horrors the other day. Ever since, have been humming… Subsequent to the events you have just witnessed… #
Similar events in cities across America – / Events which bore a striking resemblance / to the ones you have just seen – began occurring. #
Popping into Waterstones for an OS map. The travel floor is calling to the wanderlustful side of me. #
@dr_nick http://www.littleshopthemusical.co.uk/ – don’t look like anywhere near Soton and Nottingham closes tomorrow! #
Spontaneous decision to see Little Shop of Horrors in Nottm before it closer. Seats available in all areas. #
Ooh, excellent set. And Sylvester McCoy as Mushnik! #
Trying to think of a non-bitchy way of putting it… But who cast the endomorphs? Couldn’t they afford thin actors? #
@dr_nick the stage show doesn’t have a happy ending 🙂 the little plants were wireless robots, they did a show of “look no hands” #
Everyone coming out humming “Suddenly Seynour.” The full size plant was awesome! #
Reading about grid references. Seems I live in SK, one of only 2 100km squares with no coast at all: http://tr.im/jEvy #
