  1. Here in the library of Birmingham to see The Writing of Protest with Guardian Live. Excited!

  2. Bought a 13 tog duvet today from John Lewis and now basically don't want to leave my bed ever again.

  3. Retweeted

    "Hmm, we can't call her a terrorist yet but how do we associate her with it?" - Daily Mail.

  4. I love Birmingham for its diversity and sad to see people try to attack us for it. The crowd firmly rejected the racists.

  5. Huge crowd gathered (in the hundreds) right by the Bullring. Quite scary - one person said they were "two religious groups"... Hmm.

  6. It ended with 6 police cars and an ambulance after one of the preachers punched a flag guy and he hit his head on the floor.

  7. One of the Muslim guys was telling police the flag blokes were trying to set his Qurans on fire with deodorant and a lighter

  8. Just saw what I can only describe as a small race riot kick off in Birmingham between Muslim street preachers and guys with England flags.

  9. How the hell has got a bloody verified account?!

  10. Retweeted

    Want to work in engineering & tech? Come to a BBC trainee Open Day.

  11. ... or, they have way bigger fish to fry. I'd challenge devs to switch (personal) browser for a month and see what their sites are like.

  12. My theory: the Chrome monoculture these days means most devs assume stuff works in FF and don't bother testing properly anymore.

  13. Open a Guardian page in a new tab in Firefox. Most of the JavaScript fails. Has been happening for months; I filed issues... nothing.

  14. Walked past a takeaway last night advertising a "cheeky burger". Nando's, what have you wrought.

  15. Retweeted

    Technologists: What do you wish more people knew about your work? RT for reach? Always diverse range of responses!

  16. Anyone know how to make Outlook actually group conversations, not just link stuff with the same subject (from different email chains, ugh)?

  17. Update to the cat story: my mate wasn't behind the camera as I thought, but works with that group. More info here:

  18. My friend decommissions landmines. He helped save this cat in Gaza that got stuck inside a 155mm projectile.
