WoadPress – RT @pookie_uk: @impworks Only available with blue ink. #
@jearle OMWF wouldn't work without the rest but is pure brilliance in its own wonderful way in reply to jearle #
@JustinBailey I don't but there used to be several places that ran BSL courses. You might ask them to see if they can help in reply to JustinBailey #
@jearle Yes. It pulls those threads together in a way that would otherwise have seemed heavy handed but the musical angle make it work. in reply to jearle #
Shrove: a British mammal, related to a shrew, that emerges from hibernation on a date that appears to be related to the phase of the moon. #
The Shrove was once seen as the European Groundhog but was later found to be drawn out by the smell of pancakes, sugar and lemon juice. #
And if you believe any of that you really need to check a reliable source like Wikipedia #
@JustinBailey Good Luck. 10 Years ago I could have put you in touch but everyone I knew who signed has left Liverpool. in reply to JustinBailey #

@sizemore Far better than bleeding edge gums. in reply to sizemore #
Couldn't find anything from the Tron soundtrack so this will have to do… ♫ http://blip.fm/~l5tnv #
Back from Tron @ FACT in Liverpool. I'd never seen first 5mins before! F/X dated & pacing slow great to see it on big screen. #
@Danacea I had one of those. On Monday it decided it was the time to strike – just in time for Tron at FACT L'pool last night in reply to Danacea #
@Danacea Thanks – its more annoying than anything else. Hope you feel better soon too and that it doesn't decide to get worse. in reply to Danacea #
@jearle Not sure you cunning plan to lure the assassin into the open by taunting her till she proves she is a woman will work in reply to jearle #
@jearle Already done that for WordPress – pretty straightforward in reply to jearle #
Now I understands the tweets of "Now I'm on a horse" http://bit.ly/buQrsH via @MonteJCook #
Unfortunately (like Guinness) no matter how cool the advert I still just don't like the smell of Old Stench #
RT @Paul_Cornell: I gather that Doctor Who fans should be watching BBC1 at 18.30 this Saturday, during the break between programmes. #
@very_true_thing Some might even suggest Civ on Facebook will be the end of Civilization… in reply to very_true_thing #
listening to "Eureka Theme( HQ sound)" ♫ http://blip.fm/~l8nes #
Knocked out 500 words of background in the last hour before my cold defeated me. #
I'd not have noticed my passing 1000 if you'd not mentioned your 15K @qwghlm #
@qwghlm There was the previous attempt on the twin towers in '93 which killed 6 and from memory destroyed a number of important computers. in reply to qwghlm #
Could someone tell BMW that rendered shinny balls is a sad cliche and suggest living in the past instead of innovation. #
@jearle @qwghlm Terrorist / Freedom Fighter / Criminal in the end it's largely semantics. History will decide. #
@jearle My comment wasn't about a specific instance. These terms tend to be kicked around and only time tends to result in a consensus. in reply to jearle #
@jearle I tend to agree with you. My point is that even for this specific case you won't find agreement for a long time. in reply to jearle #
@jearle I agree with you. That's how they're treating it. Again semantics. The White House has played in this name game for a long time. in reply to jearle #
@undeadbydawn Not about any specific act. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. in reply to undeadbydawn #
@undeadbydawn The word chosen tells you more about the commenter than the act. in reply to undeadbydawn #
Sometimes 140 characters just are not enough. #
@jearle lol Ok. We'll let you be. in reply to jearle #
@undeadbydawn Sorry went to lunch look like @jearle pointed you where I'd probably have in reply to undeadbydawn #
@Danacea Funnily I was writing about Mousetrap for work on Monday. What did you mean to Twitpic? in reply to Danacea #
Tip: If you tweet something rude about Online Marketing it may take days for the crowd of them that follow you to go away #
@KimKnox Time for #tea then? in reply to KimKnox #
RT @MonteJCook: This is a fun little site making use of the questionable nature of online translators. http://translationparty.com/#6586011 #
@KimKnox Congratulations on Painted Promise. in reply to KimKnox #
@Danacea Have you been completely misquoted yet too? in reply to Danacea #
@KimKnox Something just heard about your planning… in reply to KimKnox #
East Enders and Tiger Wood are skirmishing for control of the BBC homepage. Tiger has the left side but EE has retaken the right. #
@mdlachlan Congratulations. in reply to mdlachlan #
@lozzyjay 4 hours? Ow! in reply to lozzyjay #
listening to "Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton – Can't Find My Way Home" ♫ http://blip.fm/~lbh9r #
@pookie_uk Could we persuaded them to make Strictly When the Stars are Right? They'll be driven crazy by what the cultists' dances summon in reply to pookie_uk #
Doctor Who teaser was very meh not so much must see… #
@pookie_uk I've played Civ IV on vista van't remember if I had to run it as admin for it to work. in reply to pookie_uk #
@pookie_uk Its Strictly When the Stars are Right lets have a big hand for your hosts: Mr Shiny and Tess Daoloth in reply to pookie_uk #
@richeym Definitely crossing fingers. I'm guessing they made that independently from the shows. Completely independently… in reply to richeym #
@jearle Now you're just trolling for a reaction lol. Only way to be sure would be to nuke the planet and have done with it all anyway. in reply to jearle #
Wasn't expecting 2 inches of snow on the ground in Liverpool this morning #uksnow #
Firing up Vue 8. Firing up Idle. Time to put Beta version of star map script to bed and out to testers. #
@pookie_uk Right click on the desktop icon or Civilization4.exe in directory then select Run as Administrator in reply to pookie_uk #
@richeym Sounds about right. He's channeling Peter Jackson's ending to LotR. I've still not forgiven him for Why Don't You. in reply to richeym #
@Tamsynjk Yes quite odd. Nice and clear up your way then I take it? in reply to Tamsynjk #
Don't Panic: N.England covered in white undercoat in preparation for a Pollock inspired scheme to be applied by airships later. #
My Vue python scripts are usually pretty lightweight but this one weight in at 9MB. Thank goodness for broadband and free bandwidth. #
@Tamsynjk Well the snows gone here now – it was almost pleasant this afternoon but now its blood freezing cold here too. in reply to Tamsynjk #
