  • Brother popping in for tea at 1am on his way home = I’m still awake. And reorganising my Google Docs. Rock and roll. #
  • @ruskin147 I’m missing it. I had unfinished games and the official app (which you can’t play people in the US on) hasn’t worked once for me. #
  • Discovered some Olympic thing on BBC One. McFly murdering ABBA. Probably just turn the TV off again then… #
  • @alexfoster Finally got to Small Potatoes. That was rather good. Cringeworthily funny in the last third. #

  • Found Google Reader mobile site. Finally might be able to keep up with all the blog reading I’ve not had time for. #
  • @bigbluemeanie http://www.google.com/reader/m/ #
  • Finally got tickets to see The Dark Knight at the IMAX. Not for a couple of weeks though. #
  • Rather enjoyed the DVD of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, to my surprise. #
  • Delighted to return to one of my favourite Edinburgh bloggers today to discover that he’s become a stand-up comic. Wish I’d known earlier! #

  • Last show done, and good fun it was. Damp from the rain. Train back south in the morning 🙁 #
  • Have boarded a set down only train. Waiting for “Passengers boarded this train at Haymarket. Until they own up, this train isn’t moving.” #
  • Hello again, England. How have you been? Despite not having wifi, Virgin Pendolino first class has been much preferable to NXEC so far. #
  • “Due to a fire at Bletchley, this train may not make it all the way to London.” And this journey was going so well. #
  • Concerned that National Rail WAP site says the train I’m still on is cancelled. Been sitting in Preston for 45 mins. #
  • Now on wrong train. Oops. #
  • @qwghlm Cheers. Currently at Wigan and crossing my fingers that the departure boards aren’t lying despite contradicting the Nat Rail site. #
  • Counting down the minutes until a train comes and hoping it isn’t packed. At least I’m due a refund now. #
  • Finally on a train to London. Some of the Crewe look suspiciously familiar. I suspect this may be the same train I got off in Preston. #
  • I meant crew, not Crewe. Of course Crewe looks familiar, I’ve been there. This journey is burning the stops into my mind. #
  • Back in London, only 134 minutes later than planned. And now to navigate rush hour with luggage. #
  • Wow, does Inspector Sands work at Euston too? He’s a busy man. #
  • While embarrassed to be carrying a wheelie case, I hope I’m an example of good technique. #
  • @minifig It was a perfect 6.0 until I knocked a man’s shoe off 😮 #
  • @secretlondon I do. Which is why it fails a bit as a secret code. #
  • @minifig I’d be delighted never to have to drive one again. This one is particularly huge and unwieldy. #
  • @alexfoster Did you buy anything from their shop? You can get an extra rental by spending £10 or more. (Not intended as a plug 🙂 #
  • Scrabulous has gone again then… #
  • For no obvious reason, comedian Rhys Thomas is on BBC Two wearing Peter Davison’s Doctor Who costume. Sans celery. #
  • @Sourdust Dunno – first time I’ve tried to access it this week, but judging from other statuses its recent. #

  • Popped into sci-fi shop and bumped into an Edinburgh Doctor Who fan friend. It’s a small city… #
  • @iaindale I’m lunching at Pizza Hut. I bet the Ivy don’t do unlimited refills. #
  • I have singlehandedly ended four days of rain in Edinburgh. By finally buying an umbrella. #
  • Taking time out to see the Clone Wars at an Art Deco cinema in Morningside. First time my cinema seat has been a leather sofa 🙂 #
  • Clone Wars: enjoyable if fairly disposable. Managed some Lucas-like annoying characters and dialogue, but some nice refs to the other films. #
  • Munnery was good. Felt a bit more standuppy than usual. #
  • Idiots of Ants didn’t start well but ended on a very good high. Good group with some great ideas but let down by a few weak sketches. #
  • Mark Watson was terrific. Wish I’d seen him before. #
