  1. @smileoftdecade only if I wanted to talk about the things that were banned. Anyway, too long for Twitter
  2. Watching Guns N' Roses at the O2. Kind of them to play a song from Chinese Democracy every so often so I can go to the bar
  3. @DamoclesBDA @worstall *the precautionary principle" is not the same as "being cautious"
  4. @gimpyblog seen it, commented. Meta meta
  5. @DamoclesBDA @worstall it's *not* the precautionary principle, it's insurance, as Tim makes clear in his post.

  11. Manatee with added caption, via @Hoorayham quickmeme.com/meme/3pg5u3/ v funny although should be "delays" rather than "prolongs"
  12. @mattkmoore she obviously despises Belgian waffles, string theory and Battersea Dogs' Home, the spiteful hate-filled old cow
  13. @mattkmoore she has never once said the words "Tom Chivers" in public either, you'll notice.
  14. Imitation is the sincerest &c. Thanks @commentisfree
  15. @robbiereviews oh no I know. Still would love to have you on board. I need a few ill-shaven brethren on the blogs to make me feel at home
  16. Awesome pic. Manatees are splendid telegraph.co.uk/news/picturega…
