  1. @franksting, did you get the name of that 'dammit I'm following too many people again' service you were after?
  2. "On second thought, let's not go to Canberra. 'Tis a silly place. "
  3. MINI. There's not much space on my desk. RT @BoxyFrown: Dear device building people: USB toasted sandwich makers. Thanks.
  4. That RT may or may not be related to my previous tweet.
  5. The job I've been waiting for to be a thing for three years or so is now a thing. I'm listing you all as references, cool? Good.
  6. Also, to be able to write ball-tearingly good songs that are so damn accessible to reinterpretation is a gift in itself. A GIFT.
  7. DON'T JUDGE ME, I CRY EASY AND I'M BUSY BEING IMPORTANT IT GUY
  8. * Although the Cohen point is valid, I stand by my assertion that he shouldn't sing (most of) his own songs.
  9. Thirdly: You're ALL parasites. (Thankfully.)
  10. Firstly: Yes, do. Secondly: @watermelon_man, @noplaceforsheep's point about Leonard Cohen is entirely valid*, SO NER.
  11. She's in town on Monday. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ahem. bit.ly/Kqw3lP
  12. Why yes, by "minimum of half a day" I did mean 1 or two hours, thank you. #humpdayheaddesk
  13. Argh, my moral fibres, they are afray! bit.ly/KqnmrM (via @GeordieGuy & @franksting. And illegal.)
