Watching London Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon talk transport on The Politics Show. Caroline’s been helping me with TfL tech issues. #
The Observer comes today with a “free” Women Magazine and a “free” Film Magazine. If you pay the cover price, you also get pages 4-18 free. #
Ooh, this episode of The X-Files is co-written by Stephen King. #

Unlocked all the 50cc levels on Mario Kart Wii. Obviously a productive use of my morning. #
Deciding where to see Quantum of Solace, thanks to Lewisham’s dearth of cinemas. Leaning towards the O2. Will watch Casino Royale DVD first. #
My video about the US elections is now up on Lib Dem Voice: http://tinyurl.com/5c78tw #
Man of simple pleasures that I am, it amuses me that I’m waiting to watch a Bond film inside a Bond film location. #
Sony phone ad says “Capture the action” while showing clips of QoS. Later Daniel Craig asks us not to record the film. Make up your minds! #
Also had to close my eyes during the several ads featuring clips from the film. They’re spoilers! Don’t show them before the film! #
Anyway, enjoyed Quantum of Solace but didn’t think it was as good as Casino Royale. Story meandered all over the place. #
@nimbos Yeah, Maria’s dad plays the second most incompetent agent in the whole Bond series. #
@Alfie Full version is on E4 tonight. I’m in the zombie crowd running to the gates 🙂 #
Bedtime. Ate so much junk today. Have a nice pork joint to roast for a more balanced diet tomorrow. #

Michael Lyons OK on Today at coping with John Humphreys’ usual position of “The BBC should only broadcast what John Humphreys likes.” #
Reasons I should be allowed to ignore emails #94: the content is in Comic Sans MS. #
@paulbradshaw There’s @mysociety… #
@stephmog Dear lord, that should be a sackable offence. #
Mmm… phenethylamine. #
@secretlondon There are a many nice curry places in the London Borough of Lewisham … #
@Alfie Wasn’t that the calendar change in 1752, or was there a different set of riots in the 17th century? #
@HelenDuffett Supplied by the Candidates’ Office today. #
Waiting for a process to finish so I can go home and have fish and chips. #
Dead Set 🙂 Final part 🙁 Wondering if my top corpse acting will have made it in. #
So YouTube reduced their maximum video length to 10 mins and I
hadn’t noticed. Which is a pain as I’ve made one nearly 17 minutes long. #

Urgh. Coughing and spluttering. Great start to the day. #
Headache too now. Lying in bed listening to Mobbler and feeling sorry for myself. #
@Alfie Hi! Enjoyed traipsing around London – thanks for coming up with that. #
Catching up with Twitter after hours off. @snapesbabe Thanks. @GavinWhenman Git. #
@flashboy Did you not see Strange? #
@flashboy I now see you have. Wonder whether quitting Coupling would have got him a black mark with the Moff. #
@MarsPhoenix So long, and thanks for all the tweets. #
@GavinWhenman Russell Brand probably cut them off. For a laugh, you know. #
Just watched a very dark episode of One Foot in the Grave. Now cooking for Dead Set. #
Just fleetingly appeared in Dead Set 🙂 #
@alexfoster Yeah, and running down the hill earlier on. #
@LloydDavis Mine used to go to on but now goes to no. Unfortunately got gives gmt 🙁 #
