  1. Lulu was of course once the face of the Freeman's Catalogue. The height of an extraordinary career.
  2. @rhodri stop flipping channels. Lulu's on!
  3. @rhodri I hate this fucking song. Not original of me, admittedly.
  4. Our band used to cover Puppet on a String. Repeated the key change until we'd gone up a fifth then came back in the original key. Radical!
  5. Cheer up missus. Flash those pearly whites. #eurovision
  6. Experimental jazz only insofar as not experimental nor jazz. Big lungs, though. #eurovision
  7. Hungary? Hungry more like it with those legs. Send pudding. #eurovision
  8. Press the red button now to put a donk on it. #eurovision
  9. Lovely cool breeze outside the Shakespeare Tavern. Crossword, cold drink, splendid.
  10. Wouldn't it be spooky if after reading this tweet you found out I died in a car accident last night? (I didn't)
  11. @rhodri do you not aspire to be socially connected to a proprietary surface repair material?
  12. In tribute to Thelonius Monk, I have set the bread machine to finish 'round midnight. This is the highlight of my week.
  13. Interesting Friday fact: people like Friday because it's the day before Saturday, which is a day off. What interesting facts do YOU know?
  14. @rhodri Sneezed violently. Oops, no hankie. Forced to wipe huge quantity of snot from hand on chair in a casual manner. Got the job, though.
  15. @rhodri boldly striking out and leaving ukma behind us. Pioneers!
  16. @rhodri yes, alfaguru.livejournal.com/2003/05/28/
  17. Glad to discover that Germ Free Adolescents by X-Ray Spex still sounds terrific.
  18. People talking about football again. Please stop, it makes my brain itch.
  19. @thesunneversets is your client connection encoding set correctly as well? That's separate from the DB encoding. bit.ly/J7VXeA
  20. So the round thing goes backwards and forwards and the men try to kick it, is that right?
