Just realised it's the sixth anniversary (well, sorta) of this golden TV clip: youtu.be/KFTnap4wfeM about 2 hours ago via web
Hearing through the grapevine that Yates's in Camberley is on fire. I wish the staff all the best and hope damage is minimal. about 3 hours ago via web
@boobalaas "Chesney Hawkes" is now trending, along with "Jilted John". You know TOTP2 has been on when there's a #gordonisamoron hashtag. 11:38 AM May 25th via web in reply to boobalaas
@boobalaas A title like that is almost as smug as I am. ;-) 11:36 AM May 25th via web in reply to boobalaas
Tune into TOTP2 and boom, @ChesneyHawkes with The One and Only (what else)! Hope my phone doesn't ring as that's my ringtone, too. 11:23 AM May 25th via web
Forgot about the cricket for a few hours, and I see the West Indies rallied back to 304-6. Oh well, let's hope for a good spell tomorrow. 10:15 AM May 25th via web
Cricket is brilliant. DRS is brilliant. Test number two is going swimmingly. 6:54 AM May 25th via web
@DaveGorman Delighted that I am not the only person to have noticed this!! You get a teeny bit of the hook and then it rapidly fades! 2:48 AM May 25th via web in reply to DaveGorman
@danielpeake It's a hard cell. 11:57 AM May 23rd via web in reply to danielpeake

Dear Optimax, your TV ad is maddening. Can't bear how your spokeswoman says she's “’aving laser eye surgery [so she can see] in Haitch-Dee”. 2:12 AM May 23rd via web
@tomscott As @JoeTheDough said, LOCOG clearly haven't heard of the Streisand effect! 1:41 AM May 23rd via web in reply to tomscott
As expected, the Goog synthesizer is a smash hit. Are there any clips floating around of it being played *well*, rather than experimentally? 1:08 AM May 23rd via web
@itstheJW Told you so. 1:00 AM May 23rd via web in reply to itstheJW
@itstheJW If I know Twitter, you'll find out in the morning. Though frankly, Mr Muso, you ought to have some idea what a Moog synth is!! 3:22 PM May 22nd via Twitter for iPhone in reply to itstheJW
Off to bed. Expecting to wake up to a feed replete with tweets about Google's HTML5 Moog synthesizer. 3:07 PM May 22nd via web
