When Today’s coverage of the Olympics includes interviewing a numerologist, it’s probably time to switch the radio off. #
Wikipedia thinks Ned Sherrin still writes for The Oldie. If only there was an easy way to correct it. #
@mpntod I reckon Terminal 5 is an undercover ploy by environmentalists to cut air travel. #
@qwghlm Apparently I’m more famous than the organisation I work for. I doubt that somehow. #
So those are the people who run the IT for the people who make the laws. I like them but they scare me. #

@alexfoster Was it one of the new ones? #
@jster Yep. Hadn’t seen the film before. Only me of our group knew who Ken Adam was. They didn’t understand my excitement. #
Phrase of the day: “isostatic rebound” #
@markpack 2. #
Making pork chops and hoping that I don’t start a fire this time. #

The family history geek in me is delighted to learn that the new series of “Who Do You Think You Are?” starts next week. #
Ooh, a new penny. Can’t say I’m enamoured with the redesign. Must set my Facebook status to “Will doesn’t like the new penny.” #
@nimbos Yeah, I liked the idea of the jigsaw – just don’t particular like the design of the penny. #
@jamesgraham I think it’s the shield area to no-shield area ratio. #
I can confirm that a Twix is the best coffee straw. Kit-Kat and Chunky Kit-Kat also work OK. Do not use a Crunchie: it’s dangerous. #
@minifig Hear hear. One bugbear I’d forgotten about. #
@Sourdust What’s a Spira? #
I’m at Somerset House. Where David Owen randomly just walked past. I can imagine him in Dr Strangelove. #
Sitting sweating on a train that’s not due to leave for 20 minutes. Yay. On the up side, Dr Strangelove was only introduced by Ken Adam. #

I continue to attest that “Solitaire” by The Carpenters is one of the dirtiest songs ever written. #
Hurrah: http://tinyurl.com/6ha5g4 But: “The 31-year-old asked for 68 other offences to be taken into account” – crikey. #
Despite some problematic upgrades, I’m finally a convert to the new WordPress, if only for the automatic upgrading of plugins feature. #
@qwghlm I do the glasses thing all the time. When I wear contacts, I find myself tapping the bridge of my nose as if to push my specs up. #
This episode of Lab Rats appears to be a tribute to The Web Planet. #
@nimbos About 50% of its value comes from Selina Cadell’s dean. #
