Wtf!! Spoons is busy?! #
And I want all that at frenetic pace. Too much to ask? #
What I want from football is chances, box to box action, tackles and goals. #
Don't get me wrong, its technically awesome and spain do it better than anyone else, but if I wanted art I would go to gallery. #
Can't sleep which is weird after watching spain bore me to death with passing. #wc2010 #

Recovery steak is full of win #
Bed time for little old me. If anyone can tell me when I'm supposed to be up that would be awesome!! #ahs #
So apparently I'm too clingy. #
So 30 mins of talking then an hour break. That's why the #ahs never gets anything done!! #
And so we begin #ahs #
I really hope there are some @warwickatheists and people from edinburgh at breakfast today. Need to resurrect #challengewarwick #ahs #

Well the late finish wasn't too bad well worth the 1.30 finish on Fri!! #
So, working til 9 tonight :-s but means I get Friday afternoon off #
The extra 100ml in the new bigger 7up bottle really makes a difference. Not sure if 600ml is too much for a little bottle. #
W00t got sky again #
First day in the office for CWF today. #
Final fantasy 13s new battle engine is pretty awesome. Loving the party dynamics management system. #

First time ever? Just got 100% deposit back from landlord!! #
Accidentally bought a new suit. #
Forgot to get my dry cleaning done yesterday. Any one know of a 24hr dry cleaners in Leeds? #
Project at work is making my brain hurt stupid quality control. #
So apparently I'm not fluffy enough. No wonder all our managers are shit!! They want fluffy people who don't need to know anything. Grr. #
Picked up new Final Fantasy game and ashes cricket (both for ps3) for 15 quid today also got stardust and 300 on blu ray. Total < 40quid #
Random guy on the sofa this morning. Definitely not there when I went to bed. Why can't random hot chicks appear instead?? #
Pink wine and The Devil Wears Prada. Anyone would think I lived in an all guy house, lol. #
Just bad. They deserve everything @gibmasterflash is gonna throw at them. #

Beer, sun and good conversation. Life is pretty sweet right now #
Early lunch on work days suck, but am hungry so will have to manage. #
Free drinks, pizza and cake in Glasgow today I do love free stuff!! #
Yum. Black pudding, haggis and lorne sausage for breakfast bet @gibmasterflash would be proud, lol. #
Well I'm in Scotland. Sunny all the way the border' now grey and murky. #
Still can't get used to 6 forward gears in my hire car. Also 50mpg is pretty sweet. #
Busy few days ahead. Off to Glasgow via Preston for 11am Wednesday, then prob not getting back to Leeds til early hours Friday. #
Who would have guessed it would take 3 cleaners to sort out Chris's place!! Crazy. #
The South American contingent at #wc2010 look good. Europe be afraid!! #

Gonna enjoy me some football today and chill out. #
Sorry but whoever decided not to have KFC in Leeds city centre is a prat. #
Somebody somewhere must be up for a nightcap?! #
So I've given up. I'm not strong enough to deal with the chuckle brothers in public yet. Driven me to drink. #
At Wendy House in school uniform. Main test now is how to deal with tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Its been a while since last bar fight. #
2 full days off now first time in quite a while!! Part of me thinks I should chill out, the other wants to finish unpacking. Hmm. Tough. #
Station to home in 4 mins ? #
So fucking close to Leeds but train now sat waiting for no discernible reason. 13mins to KO. #
East Coast trains wifi sucks ass!!! My £250 ticket should guarentee fucking internet access. Seriously pissed off now. #
Just finishing up in London. Wined and dined by Sapient for last two days If I'm lucky I will be home for England game! #
Off to London (tho technically been off to London for an hour as I left Leeds at 6.40). #
Gah, 2 packages delivered today whilst I'm at work not gonna be able to pick them up til Sat at earliest #
RT @bengoldacre: 6-story Jesus statue in Ohio struck by lightning 8 minutes ago: if these are the end times, you heard it on twitter #
Just finished gym induction, managed half a dozen boxes of unpacking and 20mins on the treadmill now for steak night, lol. #
Train and hotel booked for London, car booked for Glasgow. Expenses incurred so far – 500 quid!! #
First night done and dusted. Getting up at 7am for work is still a novelty The real hard work starts tonight – unpacking #

Last day of #enquiry2010 today. Prof Grayling and @DrEvanHarris headlining . Also speaking: dr antony lempert and dr gijsbert stoet. #
So a rave is happening outside the hostel window. #
In Birmingham for #enquiry2010 awesome speaker line up including Chris French, Prof Grayling and @DrEvanHarris!! #
All gone again. This is the first time I've had network issues with @O2 I think they're slipping. #
GSM signal is back, but no data. Which is odd cos BiS is normally rock solid. #
Phone has mysteriously lost signal. Bizarre. Anyone know of any outages on @o2 mobile network? #
Well that's it off work til Tuesday now. Got #enquiry2010 this weekend, then got Monday to move! #
Why do afternoons drag so much when I have stuff to do later? #
Got North Korea in the office World Cup sweepstake, lol. #
Only 2 days til #enquiry2010 it's like #tamlondon but quarter of cost. Tickets via http://www.enquiryconference.org/ #
Managed to fall asleep before 6pm yesterday missed @leedsatheistsoc meal and 4 hours of quality speech writing time. #
Wish the FA had done a better job announcing the England Squad for World Cup, but then I realised it was the FA. #
No idea how I have managed to bruise my hand. It hurts a lot when I use it for anything #
Love @BinaryMage tweeting last night. Though can't decide if he ended up dissing the ZX Spectrum or humans, lol. #
Always nice to start the summer with a relatively easy Test win runs for Trott and Strauss, wickets for Finn and Jimmy A bode well too. #
Yeah, just downloaded my free Dilbert app #
Working today. Both good and bad. Basically free money, but also means only 1 day off this week #

I'm such a n00b! #
Top tip: drinking too much during day screws up plans for evening. Always start slow! #
Bit of a miserable day outside. Not the hot, sunny day I was hoping for. #
Adversity is a real test of friends. Those that have stepped to fore over the last few weeks were not always the ones I expected #
Stupid 64 went early. What is it with buses and the number 4??!! #
Just stood next to young lady (mid 20s) at bus stop whose perfume reminds me of my very first girlfriend. Weird. #
Looking forward to dinner with @sarannity tonight had extra meat at lunch tho to make up for vegetarian fayre-which is delicious #
I think I want my own personality cult. Might make that last step of #operationrenaissance #
Also #operationrenaissance fits quite nicely with #eurotrip2010 #
Decided on new operation name. Was tempted by Operation Metempsychosis but decided too pretentios, so going with #OperationRenaissance #
Also step 2 in Operation "get life back on track" is coming on quite nicely. Need catchier operation name tho. Suggestions? #
Night off tonight no plans at all. Feels quite liberating actually. Rest of weekend booked up so should prob start my #enquiry2010 talk #
Step 1 in Operation "get life back on track" complete #
Right. I'm gonna man up. Those that treated me badly aren't gonna learn their lesson, so no point me wasting my time on them. #
An eventful 24hrs all in all. Best of people and the worst of people in seemingly random jumps. #
Finally! RT @thinkbroadband: O2 clarifies limit on 'unlimited' broadband package http://bit.ly/90Ia9g #
So yeah. Job interview + recent ex announcing new fella + new flat falling through = bad day. Pretty low right now. #
I had to stop my mum calling the police about @O2 niggles ad. She thought it was racist! I think its pretty bad and would put me off. #
I've now looked at about 10 houses and not really any closer to a solution. Really have to decide by the end of the week #
Just started preliminary listing for #eurotrip2010 playlist. Need 1 list for driving, 1 for chilling and 1 for partying in french villa. #

Get in there Blackpool. Already sorting out which games to go to, lol. #
Up at half time #blackpoolforpremierleague #
Blackpool v Cardiff. Winner to play Pemier League football next season! Come on Blackpool!!! #
Last 2 weeks to get your #enquiry2010 tickets. Speakers-AC Grayling, Andrew Copson, @DrEvanHarris, Maryam Namazie, Anthony Lempert and more! #
Just struck me how blatant the Apple product placement is in House! Its starting to really annoy me now I've noticed. #
Apparently builder is finished and landlord wants to inspect on Monday. So much for chilled out weekend of football and beer #
RT @gibmasterflash: Right I'm on 99 followers anyone wanna reweet this so I might get to 100 #
Heading home early to move some furniture so builders can get access to window etc. fun stuff. #
Hmm, dreamt about a new application server. I wonder if I should act on that dream? My subconscious is very insistent. #
Productive evening considering I didn't finish work til 9. Managed to rebuild my home network to increase security #
So, I can get a Sega Mega Drive free from work with 15 games !! #
So, appears I am invisible. Dr Rich walked straight past me this morning despite me shouting quite loudly. #
13 hours down, 44 hours to go for this week. Gotta love overtime availability and domestic issues :S #
Is it wrong that I've remapped my BB keyboard to Dvorak? #
Anyone remember a BBC drama set in Serbia called Warriors? Had Damian Lewis and the scouser from Spooks in it. #
Band of brothers on blu-ray then bed I think. #
So, 12hr days seem like a fucking holiday compared to be being at home right now. #
RT @jackofkent: "Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!" #twitterjoketrial Everyone please RT. #
At the half way stage of today's money grabbing. #
This is just a silly time to start the day. Not sure what to do with my afternoon. Estate agent cancelled half my viewings. Ideas? #
Welcome @wyhumanists to Twitter #
#enquiry2010 website http://bit.ly/9WmXmp #atheist #skeptic #humanism in the 21st century! Great speaker line-up #
Blog post about #enquiry2010 should be fibished today if you care about the future of #skeptic #atheist #humanism in 21st C then sign up #
