  1. @richardwiles Thank you for saving me from the number of the beast. It was fairly firmly attached to me for a while. I may owe you my soul.
  2. RT @MKupperman: Norman Mailer's real name was French Envelope.
  3. @angelajames I try to keep it low by closing old tabs, but once they start spilling offscreen, I can let it drift into the forties easily.
  4. @angelajames 12 tabs open, in Firefox. 12 is a good maximum, because after that they start to spill off the edge of the screen.
  5. @mattleys Yep, both great. Though we're all so late leaving the house we had to reverse the order. Ah, Monsieur Vuong, best food in Berlin.
  6. My success at writing has always been inversely correlated to my success at fantasy football. Entire team sent off or crippled today.Hurrah!
  7. Very good friend is over from Ireland, so no time to tweet. May visit the glorious Tajikistan tearoom later. Then, Monsieur Vuong's. Bliss.
  8. I feel so sorry for all those honest moms who discovered the secret of whiter teeth, & whose life's work is now tainted.
  9. @mixmasterfestus I'm running a day behind, at everything. Not sure how best to catch up. May have to invent weapon to freeze world.
  10. @AllanCavanagh Hah! No, there were bigger, better targets. It was at Burning Man, so an entire city of 30,000, totally covered in dust.
  11. @Ruaidhri_M Sorry! Been editing my poetry for the last 48 hours, so I'm hyper-alert to multiple meanings. Annoys the living hole off people.
  12. @Ruaidhri_M I'm musing on him. Not coming up with much, to be honest.
  13. I see the BBC blog says I'm tweeting about the award, so I had better! There's snippets from all five stories here: http://bit.ly/6uC0vX
  14. I'm very fond of the BBC National Short Story Award, as winning it in 2007 saved my writing life. Shortlist's just out: http://bit.ly/6xCjKa
  15. @JFDerry That is a very nice piece of work, my man! I will read it again, with less exhausted eyes, tomorrow...
  16. Well, first the enormous pile of washing-up. Then bed. (If I win a Booker/Oscar/Nobel in 2010, I'll put a deposit on a 2nd hand dishwasher.)
  17. OK, just sent my collected poems and songs to Jessie at Salmon Poetry. Boy am I ever tired. What a week. Sleeeeeeeeeeep...
  18. @james_blue_cat If I - Irish National Prevarication Champion 3 years running (well, sitting) - can do it, you can definitely do it. Onward!
  19. OK, best guesses are eyesight goes, and motor skills/coordination. Not sure about eyesight. Look at Dennis Taylor, world champ, huge specs.
  20. Hmmm. @NiallStanage asks, "Why do snooker players get worse with age?" That is a really, really good question. Anyone?
