  1. @AndrewCBaker Pushing for 1st June completion. Moving really quickly now I've moved from Santander to Halifax for the mortgage.
  2. The cheeky wotsits are taking half the curtains and light fittings though. I'm trying to negotiate back the oven...
  3. Just signed the contract on my house. Seriously crazy times...
  4. Ordered my @Raspberry_Pi today. Estimated delivery in 3 weeks. :D #fb
  5. Reading up on Bombardier Dash 8 I'm about to get on. 5000 bhp from each of its two turboprop engines. Want to build a drag racer with one...
  6. Although flybe seem to have just one person on duty. Same woman who was at the checkin desk is at the boarding gate.
  7. I am most impressed by Dublin airport's very good wifi coverage. And no login pages at all, just connect and surf!
  8. Dublin airport fail. 14 security X-ray machines. Only about half actually operational, and massive queues... #fb
  9. Realised that my time in Dublin coincides with the Northwest 200 in NI. Why can't it have been Belfast...could have caught some racing! #fb
  10. Flying out to Dublin for 4 days tonight...all on my own for work. Nervous and excited at the same time... #fb
  11. Just got home from work. Stupidly unprepared customers and delayed trains does not a happy Sam make... #fb
  12. The guy behind me on the train to London seems to be doing a running commentary of the the trip to his mate on the phone... #fb
  13. @tomhennigan Hmm ok. The Kindle Fire is good now though and it's rootable. I suspect the Google one will be pretty much the same. :)
  14. @tomhennigan I basically want an iPad that isn't £300...preferably with good battery life. Haven't heard about the google tablet...
  15. Would very much like the Kindle Fire to be launched in the UK now... Seems to be a choice between stupid prices and crap quality atm... #fb
  16. Today I did do 270 miles on the bike, including the A272 pretty much end to end. Bloody knackered but what a day!
  17. @pwhittlesea @AndrewCBaker Absolutely. Hopefully there will be a sunny weekend when I'm free soon :)
  18. Much success! twitter.com/followthesam/s…
  19. Rode out to Midhurst via the twisties with @omicronlyrae. Met a friend at Loomies. My girlfriend cooked cake and is now cooking dinner. :D
