  1. @drewm They took out the line about "it puts the lotion in the basket".
  2. @lenalindstrom12 Ha that was a personal favourite - she looked like she'd escaped from The Exorcist.
  3. "If there’s an original thought out there, I could use it right now." - Bob Dylan had obviously tweeted about #Eurovision before.
  4. @lenalindstrom12 I saw her semi-final performance complete with Kate Bush & Shakira dance moves.
  5. It's Amy Vinocasa. #eurovision
  6. Wojciech Szczesny in Iceland #eurovision moonlighting.
  7. The Russian #Eurovision song sounds like it might be Sash!'s comeback single.
  8. @callummay You missed Albania so at least you still have your high frequency hearing.
  9. @JteaV Rick Astley has obviously been keeping busy offering dance tuition. Can't blame him for the diamanté blindfold though.
  10. I've learned from #esc that Azerbaijan has some quite avant garde architecture. Well at least two buildings - shot from different angles.
  11. My online banking login page now shows me a funny picture of a sheep before I login. This is the cutting edge of data security apparently.
  12. Free stock images! Just say no. yfrog.com/oem91gsj
  13. @marcjenkins Namecheap are pretty good.
  14. I've not tweeted in ages. Did you miss me? If so, it might be time you took a long hard look at your life.
  15. 52 years old, 27 years old? Who wouldn't want to look like they've had the Photoshop noise filter run on their face? twitter.com/bengilman/stat…
  16. Amateur etymologists: why are 'heir' and 'hierarchy' spelt differently?
  17. @WaterTroll Disappointed to have never found one. Sods law if I did it'd probably just be another copy of The Da Vinci Code.
  18. And just like that the love affair with Photoshop CS6 ends... twitter.com/bengilman/stat…
  19. I'm iOS designing again today. Very impressed with Skala Preview - live preview Photoshop designs on devices. bjango.com/mac/skalaprevi…
