  1. @gary_lancaster one request. Free Bird.
  2. @alex_macpherson @sarahlphillips You can call me Milord, Lex.
  3. @sarahlphillips @alex_macpherson Our Ford Focus is routinely the crappest car there, among the Beamers and Mercs.
  4. @dargaville73 Come to lunch at ours on Friday then. 12.30? Won't be a long one, for we get the kids from school then hit the Eurostar.
  5. @alex_macpherson @sarahlphillips World's best swimming pool, too. Nice kitchen. Excellent showers. Egyptian cotton on the beds.
  6. @dargaville73 Is that you, McCahon?
  7. @rob_fitzpatrick We're leaving the ponce behind in July. Going to Butlins for a (non-ATP) weekend. Isabel's writing about it.
  8. @sarahlphillips This: lecamp.co.uk It will be our third time. It's AMAZING.
  9. I'm off to Europe's ponciest campsite on Friday night. Can't wait. Real campers would sneer and laugh, but I don't care. I'll be comfortable
  10. @Roy_Allen It's the new thing, copied from New York magazine.
  11. The Beach Boys – hear five songs from their new album gu.com/p/38xha/tw via @guardian
  12. @Roy_Allen He did.
  13. I interviewed the very amusing Howlin' Pelle Almqvist of the Hives for the Guardian: gu.com/p/38xaa/tw
  14. @kilburntowers @AndrewMaleMojo Loth as I am to interruot, I have the subs hassling me for your actual review, Alexis …
  15. @missbarton Quite often. You'd be surprised.
  16. @byMattAllen Editing always cut short by the words: "I suppose a little … Wok's out of the question?"
  17. @missbarton Imogen did once talk me out of telling a writer his piece read like fridge magnet poetry, when I was particularly exasperated.
  18. @missbarton Yeah, I never said "This is a heap of shit." But no point saying "It's great" if you don't mean it. Make compliments truthful!
  19. @missbarton Did you find me an unduly rude editor? Isabel's convinced I must have been.
  20. @hazedavis Oooh. That's got to hurt. Start doesn't get beyond decent, and nothing after it even gets that far …
