BBC want to save some money? Put reporters back in the studio & stop following the PMs car with a Helicopter. #
Character Creation and Background sections of #WiP reviewed. Equipment next. #WiP #rpg #
@very_true_thing I downloaded a big heap of data from them the other day. Excellent geek data fun. in reply to very_true_thing #
Shock! Scrabble to allow Proper Nouns! Whats next collectible tile packs? http://bit.ly/bH41Ap #
Back from a 3 hour wander round Sefton Park. Sunny bur windswept. #
I accidentally photographed a ghost in Sefton Park today http://twitpic.com/1dumbl #
RT @sciamannata: Nah, that's no ghost, that's someone materialising from a teleporter. See? There's always a perfectly sensible explanation! #
.@sciamannata How did I miss that! I've just checked the next picture and there are cybermen in it. #
@daneofwar I doubt I'd have managed to get that effect if I'd tried in reply to daneofwar #
@GRIMACHU Just make sure it doesn't borrow any antiquities on the way in reply to GRIMACHU #
@RFLong Would I be cruel if I said the laws of thermodynamics? in reply to RFLong #
Anyone know why Shadowrun Vice doesn't seem to be available as a PDF anywhere anymore? #rpg #
@mdlachlan Congratulations. in reply to mdlachlan #
How did I miss Bryan Singer & Benicio Del Toro doing a spoof heist film trailer? http://bit.ly/crt7aW #
@call_me_salome You seem to have managed to spread it across large parts of the country – sunny up here too in reply to call_me_salome #
Photo I missed yesterday – Nick Clegg's battle bus turning left from Penny Lane starting Magical Mystery Tour #
@thedeadone Probably safer for it to be Depp than Helena Bonham Carter… in reply to thedeadone #
V.Cool RT @DanDiplo: Really cool video of New York destroyed by all your favourite 80s video game characters http://bit.ly/cDC7yv #
@thedeadone Yes but she does turn up in a lot of his films. Maybe JD+HBC=TB's Mary Sue in reply to thedeadone #
@thedeadone I've not seen Alice so I can't really comment. I was more thinking of the frequency of their 3 way collaboration. in reply to thedeadone #
@thedeadone JD can be a bit OTT sometimes but then so can TB. I'll probably see Alice when it hits (bargain) DVD. in reply to thedeadone #
@sciamannata Pretty soon everything will have a clock include in it – including breakfast cereal and carpet. in reply to sciamannata #
@call_me_salome If you've not tried it before toss a coin… in reply to call_me_salome #
Been over a big chunk of the #WiP this morning and feeling very positive about how little is left to do. #
I've yet to see one single tweet asking why the campaign against #debill was so ineffective… #
@aniakovas So we campaign ineffectively and then blame everyone else? We'll see a lot of change carrying on like that. Who are the plonkers? in reply to aniakovas #
@hollyalyxfinch Sorry that sounds like the excuse used by every failed fringe group I've ever heard yelling on street corners. in reply to hollyalyxfinch #
@DanDiplo Sorry the campaign was ineffective or more would have listened. We didn't get our message across. in reply to DanDiplo #
@hollyalyxfinch You stick with fringe politics. I'll carry on working for real change. And please don't tell me what I do or don't feel. in reply to hollyalyxfinch #
Asking why the #debill campaign was ineffective isn't supporting it. Its about how we campaign better to get it changed. #
@DanDiplo We should leave it up to other to educate (lobby) them and not put our point of view across to them? in reply to DanDiplo #
@hollyalyxfinch Not what I said. Why was the campaign ineffective? A good answer will tell us how to get it changed. in reply to hollyalyxfinch #
@aniakovas I'm not saying its us. Its a very hard question to answer but at the moment no one seems to want to even talk about it. in reply to aniakovas #
@KeeperOfTheHDB If we start from there is it any wonder they don't listen to our point of view? in reply to KeeperOfTheHDB #
@KeeperOfTheHDB Hopefully you'll like whoever you get next more. in reply to KeeperOfTheHDB #
@DanDiplo I'm against PR because it entrenches parties & whips in law. I'd prefer it if neither existed. But thats another can of worms. in reply to DanDiplo #
Going to make another stab at the #rpg blog post that keeps defeating me. Down twitter Perescope. #
@KadrinaLage Think I've nailed it after only 3 weeks of trying lol in reply to KadrinaLage #
@KimKnox I missed you're earlier Tweet – Gratz. And good luck with the blurb I keep putting off mine too. in reply to KimKnox #
@KeeperOfTheHDB Its made me quite angry too. No offence taken. in reply to KeeperOfTheHDB #
@daneofwar Thanks for the ff in reply to daneofwar #
@the_ravener Hope someones got a screencap of that for posterity. in reply to the_ravener #
Last Nights Blog Post: The Danger of Difficulty Despair – With Graphs http://www.bit.ly/90B9oF #rpg #
OK my Follow Friday list is getting out of control. Will try again later. #
@the_ravener Excellent. Wish I'd done that for the Gorilla Marketers. Once there were hundreds on twitter but now there almost extinct. in reply to the_ravener #
This bottle of wine was supposed to have a "hint of black currant" not a strong flavour of *!#!$??! #
@Inkslinger Congratulations in reply to Inkslinger #
Did an expert on News24 just say fish and chips include no vegetables? Is Cod not a vegetable anymore? #
@JamesWallis Probably although I thought which Intelligence Agency benefits most so I'm no better. in reply to JamesWallis #
@NeilCFord Not much help but I was awake and thought *** this and went back to sleep and now I can't seem to get started on the day in reply to NeilCFord #
@aniakovas It got a bit better once it had a chance to breath but it definitly wasn't right in reply to aniakovas #
@KadrinaLage I've had really weak coke in a pub which is foul and should always be taken back. Serving the wrong drink takes a special skill #
@antallan Glad to hear Cod is feeling better. Had such a rough time since they were writen out of The Bill. in reply to antallan #
@antallan I wonder can we get all 5 a day with Fish and Chips? Best I can do is Chips, Mushy Peas and Mushroom Sauce. in reply to antallan #
@ThadeousC Nice bit of work. in reply to ThadeousC #
@sciamannata Where are the shops? On top of K2? in reply to daneofwar #
.@sciamannata I've seen Victorian pictures of Cod hunting the bananas with spears in the bush. Always thought they were faked. #
.@antallan 5 a day. Fish, Chips, Mushy Peas, Mushroom Sauce and Pickled Onions. Wrapping in lettuce instead of newspaper seems daft. #
@daneofwar Morning in reply to daneofwar #
@pierre_nel That really is a bad way to fail as a streaker: Still partially clothed and not sure what sport is played in John Lewis in reply to pierre_nel #
@sciamannata Good luck. in reply to sciamannata #
@beltonwriter Night / Morning in reply to beltonwriter #
@daneofwar It is nice isn't it. I think @call_me_salome laid claim to it before I got there. Is calling shotgun on the weather allowed? in reply to daneofwar #
@pierre_nel I think we all have had that nightmare sometime. If it was up here I'd put it down to Grand National madness/drinking. Very odd. #
@call_me_salome Check down the back of the sofa in case there is a frying pan, sea bass and white sauce lurking there. in reply to call_me_salome #
@jearle Sounds like a fine start to the day. Any photos of the raptor? in reply to jearle #
@jearle Shame. I was looking at lenses for my SLR the other day. Can't decide between a telephoto for birds or a wide angle for landscapes. in reply to jearle #
@ghostwoods Scary: 3,091 out of 19,000 can related accidents are with corn beef cans. Yet we still love it. in reply to ghostwoods #
@jearle Just got the standard Cannon 18-55mm lens at the moment after switching from film to digital SLR. in reply to jearle #
@GRIMACHU You'll be lucky. They just want to call it waste and hope most people won't ask what it is. in reply to GRIMACHU #
@ghostwoods Couldn't find the stats on number of those cases that led to gangrene. Yet still we love our CB. in reply to ghostwoods #
@jearle Thanks. Thats what I was thinking. Plus I spotted a wide angle adapter for £30 with good reviews. in reply to pookie_uk #
@pookie_uk Fascinating but I'm not getting the dice reference. in reply to pookie_uk #
@Adrian_RG Phew you saved me from having to ask… in reply to Adrian_RG #
@Adrian_RG I think that depends on the answer you get in reply to Adrian_RG #
@pookie_uk Ok that makes sense now thanks Not sure what that woman on TV health show would say about it… in reply to pookie_uk #
@pookie_uk Eww. Brings a whole new meaning to roll 3d6 for damage. in reply to pookie_uk #
@call_me_salome An interesting juxtaposition. I hear the haunting call of a lesser spotted python in the distance. in reply to call_me_salome #
@Adrian_RG Yes worth every one of its characters. in reply to Adrian_RG #
@call_me_salome I think I'm best off not asking especially if it involves bums, champagne and fish slices. in reply to call_me_salome #
@MinionTV Press the off switch then step away from the television. Its the only thing to do. in reply to MinionTV #
@bluinkalchemist Have fun. in reply to bluinkalchemist #
@MinionTV And it fits while the old why don't you line is probably too long for 140 chars. in reply to MinionTV #
Washing machine on. Windows open. #WiP open. Down periscope. #
@richeym I've had that feeling since I did a 10K steps day in the middle of the week. in reply to richeym #
@minapop I wondered what they were setting up for yesterday. That's pretty big. Did it smell as good as it looks? in reply to minapop #
@ghostfinder These days I think they try really hard not to – even as a joke. in reply to ghostfinder #
@minapop That's a lot of paella. Wishing I'd gone into the city today now. in reply to minapop #
Almost 3 hours solid on the #WiP Serious dent in the magic chapter. Time for a snack and decide what to do before Doctor Who. #
Should have RT this earlier RT @pookie_uk: @impworks Wombat poo is cube shaped. #
@archers106 If I had the power or money to make that happen I would… in reply to archers106 #
@Bookwalter A friend used to find me at Salute by looking for someone not in a black T-shirt as that was the quick way to spot me. in reply to Bookwalter #
@gamefiend And yet players will still find something you missed. in reply to gamefiend #
@minapop I'll take a look at the weather tomorrow and might nip in… in reply to minapop #
@archers106 Sounds like a fun project. in reply to archers106 #
Wandered to the shops. Tumble weed blowing in empty streets. Only sounds a dog barking & the national on radios from every shop. #
Could someone get Richard Hammond a better script / joke writer please. #
Doctor Who 2 minutes and counting… #
@aniakovas You ordered a broken handle bar? (Sorry I know what you really ment but I had to ask) in reply to aniakovas #
Do those heads look a bit like Davros? #doctorwho #
Yeh! Now those look like proper DALEKS. #DoctorWho #DrWho #
@grekwood Yup and the hints of Douglas Adams too. Love it. #
@grekwood I had to stop myself firing up twitter when a woman in a cloak said "Save us Doctor you're our only hope" lol in reply to grekwood #
Wonder if this weeks Doctor Who post will get ripped off by as many sites as last weeks? #
@thewritersroad But its so addictive. And a lot easier to explain away than wallpapering cupboards and draws instead of writing. in reply to thewritersroad #
Finished 3 sheets of handouts for a gaming session. Time to cook something for dinner. #
@NeilCFord If we did do you think we'd be sharing it in reply to NeilCFord #
