@DaveGorman I wasn't assuming you were complaining, more that, given a huge choice, watching HUTH astounds me. But I've never seen it...! 3:43 AM May 25th via web in reply to DaveGorman
@DaveGorman I suspect your basic error here is watching "Homes Under The Hammer" instead of, ooh, almost anything really. HTH. 2:51 AM May 25th via web in reply to DaveGorman
@paulwaugh What's Danny A saying on "Public Sector Appointees (Tax)" please? 5:42 AM May 23rd via web

@couchpotatoadam @ajhmurray M'wife @Tanithr observed the Jubilee song sounds exactly like one of the end songs from the Green Balloon club. 3:02 AM May 23rd via web in reply to couchpotatoadam
@Reynolds Yeah, I did exactly the same thing. One year to become a medical imager cost ~£800, next year ~£3000. Not becoming one now. 4:26 AM May 22nd via web in reply to Reynolds
@Tanithr Super bagels! Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom etc. 4:18 AM May 22nd via web
@Reynolds I was wondering just the same thing. I'd like a graph of total human information (by year) against min cost & size of storage. 1:18 AM May 22nd via web in reply to Reynolds
@ScottKAndrews PS I haven't actually read the blog. 8:07 AM May 18th via web in reply to ScottKAndrews
@ScottKAndrews I've read much more fickle crap and stuff with about the same level of fickleness, but much more crap. Must try harder :) 8:07 AM May 18th via web in reply to ScottKAndrews
@bengoldacre I've had the same conversation. Factories Act has a lower bound (various, actually) but no upper bound. 6:04 AM May 15th via web in reply to bengoldacre
@DMinghella Their economy is being e-rhode-d. 5:23 AM May 15th via web in reply to DMinghella
@estherwalker My wife really hates her arm tat. She and I love the other two. It's worth going up to see them at any rate. 6:51 AM May 14th via web in reply to estherwalker
@estherwalker TVM. It's not a big tat or very dark, so quality is the only important consideration. May I ask did you have it yourself? 6:50 AM May 14th via web in reply to estherwalker
@estherwalker Hi Esther - I see you reviewed tattoo removal by OSC in 2008. Was it as good as it seems? Ta for your time, Justin. 2:22 AM May 14th via web
@ScottKAndrews So we finished Quantum Leap... and apparently Sam never got home!? WTF?! Was there a sixth series planned? 2:49 PM Apr 3rd via Teewee
@corrie_corfield @gilescoren Only because you didn't correct anything he said... 7:12 AM Apr 3rd via Teewee in reply to corrie_corfield
The treehouse now has its first wall, and is no longer a mere tree platform. Tea break! 3:32 AM Apr 3rd via Teewee
@Tanithr I sing along to anything by Jim Steinman! 12:40 AM Apr 3rd via Teewee in reply to Tanithr
@Tanithr Ah, no chance. Just watching Abney and Teal then going to stuff her full of porage. 11:01 PM Apr 2nd via Teewee in reply to Tanithr
