  1. @photobox your Father's Day promo email doesn't say when Father's Day is. Guarantee you'll get a better response if the next one does ;-)
  2. @billhilton well, my old scout, you'll be fresher than me...
  3. Home. Driven another flipping 400 miles since yesterday evening. #iseetarmacwhenmyeyesareshut
  4. @StockwellStreet @greenwichcouk sounds a good idea. Are you in Colchester's beautiful Stockwell Street?
  5. @KathFinney @venyanamore @shedworking Actually, thinking about it, I auomatically use 'nor' if the previous word ends on a plosive consonant
  6. @KathFinney Makes me think of physics lessons and NAND, NOR, AND and OR gates. Whatever they were...
  7. I've almost completely stopped using 'nor' after 'neither', opting for 'or' instead. Does this qualify me for a grammatical pistol whipping?
  8. @tomcopy Sympathy. I came in here one Sunday and the fire alarm system warning alarm was going. That nearly drove me mad.
  9. @zemblamatic God knows. But he must be ready to cross the road by now.
  10. Just spent 5 terrifying minutes watching Blair. He would have been a sublime Bond villain.
  11. @ClassicalCDs Looks great! Have you got it in @TheGazette? I'm sure @JamesECalnan would be interested.
  12. @oli Good man. Hit lifted and waved in your direction. Bottle of Ghost Ship discreetly put in your blazer pocket.
  13. @oli You're a gent Oli. Turns out there's a launderette on North Hill. I've dropped off Anne & boys - they're putting it in on way to park
  14. Broken washing machine hell. Launderette a go-go.
  15. Fine Wanda Landowska on Radio 3 at moment. Worth getting on Listen Again.
  16. My big problem with The Exorcist is that it takes me 45 minutes to remember I'm not watching The Inen. #itv4
  17. @mbattistella Oh yes. I remember. Hang on - I might have a link. Good message, poor design ;-)
