  1. Ahh, I remember going to Young Farmers dances. It was all straw bales and chlamydia.
  2. King's look like a bunch of Young Farmers. Apart from the one who's stepped out of Flight of the Conchords, obviously. #unichall
  3. @ElleSergi I have one of these in my shed: http://is.gd/5w4cJ No good for snowballs, but the foam is slippy as hell, like the real thing.
  4. @ElleSergi Don't want job. Got job. Want snow.
  5. @ElleSergi I saw that warning of heavy snow in the West Midlands - in Warwickshire?! That's not West Midlands. That's virtually London.
  6. @ElleSergi No snow here in Shropshire, either. Well, a pathetic 'dusting' last night. This is ridiculous. Who do I complain to about this?
  7. .@LoreleiKing I got left on a train once. Fell asleep, and when I woke up, train was empty and locked. I had to call police to let me out.
  8. I still remember last year's debacle when Santa left his list on a train in Chiswick.
  9. As of next year, Santa's naughty-or-nice list will be outsourced to Experian.
  10. Don't take Santa's word that he's checking his list twice: use your rights under the Data Protection Act to request a copy.
  11. @LoreleiKing Ooh. That really is quite dreadful. Thank you. I feel better now. *Twiddles thumbs* So, umm, is there anything else to do here?
  12. I miss #xfactor. Would you mind just videoing yourself singing and upload it to YouTube so we can all take the piss? Thx!
  13. I asked the audience on Wednesday what they knew about Darwin. One kid put his hand up and said "Is it gravity? The thing with the apple?"
  14. @JFDerry I'm using the high-tech equivalent to night air right now: the two of us are sat in the cool mist of an ultrasonic humidifier!
  15. Baby is still wheezing, coughing and crackling like a professional smoker. I've had to mum up and take over from an exhausted momma.
  16. Got back last night after a 5 hour drive just in time for the start of the wheezy baby night shift.
  17. @1daverobertson I wouldn't say no, but there's more rejigging to do. The 'Flash Darwin' bit is great for adults but a little static for kids
  18. Then a light after-show snack of fish, chips, gravy, bread & butter, tea & a can of pop (with change from £4) topped it all off wonderfully.
  19. What I learnt yesterday: asking 200 kids (and teachers) to "after 3, scream as loud as you can" is to be inviting permanent hearing loss.
  20. Great fun yesterday at Life in Newcastle doing the school shows. Thx @IanSimmons for inviting us, and @AshleyKent for looking after us!
