Last talk/workshop of the weekend is done now time to make my own god and have a pint. #

Heavy night last night! Got quite drunk. Luckily no hangover this morning #

Still no bastard signal. But at least @krypto @youngnicola and @mikepaynterahs are dancing!! #

Not much signal at @questival so not much chance to tweet fun day so far. #

'So @krypto is the egg. Sperm him.' Quote of @questival so far… #

Just waving at @Aislinfrancis work place as I drive past it on way to @questival running a little behind schedule.s #

On train to bradford to then get lift to @questival #questival #ahsquest #

8 hours of work then hitting @questival via good folk at @uobaass feel underpacked with my little 25l rucksack compared to @YoungNicola #

GI Joe was one of those films that are fun whilst you watch but instantly forgettable. Its pizza time now #

Gonna watch me some GI Joe! #

One more sleep til @questival #

Rough.com this morning. Really could do with a holiday. Luckily I'm off to @questival this weekend. #

Just got in from @leedsatheistsoc and @uobaas social. @theblindking and @chrisworfolk on good form. #reindeerwrestling is go!! #

Just about to set off to @leedsatheistsoc and @uobaass joint social #

So cross about training. Strongly considering a written complaint. #

This training is using Britains Got Talent to teach us life lessons. I'm enraged. Tempted to walk out. #

Completely forgot I'd agreed to shift slide for training this morning so missed out on hour's lie in #

The lens fell out my glasses as was walking to appt. Homeless guy picks it up and offers to sell it back. (Tho good he didn't know value) #

Fucking glasses broke on the way home. Fucking shit. (Apologies for language) #

Nice dinner with @Aislinfrancis and her house mates big bang theory and family guy with good hot chilli! #

Off for dinner at @Aislinfrancis new place #

Its toooooo hot #

Been in town for 10 mins and already seen at least a dozen pregnant women smoking!! #

The #uncagedmonkeys are doind a brand new show in Dec (6th/7th) in Manchester. Anyone want to go? #

2nd place. Not bad. Cashed at least #

Hitting up Alea with @chrisworfolk to play some poker. #

Survived polish dinner party so far. 12 courses and 4 bottles of wine each so far. Spirits are about to come out. #

Noooo. Coffee spill #

We just got the @levarburton #bigbangtheory legend! #

Just bought a 48 pack of kit kats. #

Grats to @godwinslaw1 for being made @ahsstudents new head of membership. Tough act to follow in @MikePaynterAHS #

Part of our bromantic night in! http://lockerz.com/s/124195130 #

Ooh, looks like I might be getting a spot on Leeds SACRE. Fun times. #

That's the most fun watching a film I've had in years. #

Finally watching Scott Pilgrim. #

Really hoping there is a cheque in the post when I get home. Could really do with the money. Job hunting is expensive. #

Struggling today. Got meetings but head is pounding #

Back from @theblindking house warming. Fun times all round. Full of toast now left @BinaryMage watching #flashgordon #

Me and @BinaryMage just found a mirkin. #

W00t RT @danpalmer: Sweet! Just bought my ticket for @questival http://t.co/FkF0yIu #

Gah. Need to book a sight test I really hate having rubbish eyes. #

First day playing with real code since I was at uni. Forgotten everything. Luckily you don't actually need to know anything #shhdonttell #

Hmm, strapless dresses must be the least practical jogging outfits ever. #

Its also a little bit @YoungNicola fault too. But not as much. #

Its all @godwinslaw1 fault I'm going to work naked tomorrow. #

Definitely need a massage. Have had real problems with my shoulder all last night then today. Got a massive knot. #

Lol @theblindking went to his old flat last night. #

Nights out with students just can't end well!! #

At #wendy but not bumped into @joyt26 not cool #

So @YoungNicola has said that @krypto is amazing… #

Definitely too single for Wendy #

Wonder if @godwinslaw1 made it out? #

At #wendy with the usual crowd. #

Why do some girls insist on heavy make-up? Do then not realise that it makes them look worse. #

2 EVE trial invites in as many days. Someone trying to tell me something? #

Looking forward to seeing some people tonight for @Viki_Chan birthday #

Ahhh lemony fresh (technically its Limey fresh this week but who's counting) #

Police Acadamy is such a good film. By good I mean funny and lightweight of course, but what better way to spend a Friday evening? #

The last few days have been a bit of a sharefest. Luckily its been 2 way this time!! #

Bran van 3000 – drinking in LA is such a tuuuune #nowplaying #

If I drank this amount of coffee every day then I would basically be an LA cop. #

Definitel drunk too much coffee today. Rather jittery.y #

I hate that there is no future for me in current company. I love working here but they don't want to let me progress so time to move on. #

5 more jobs applied for. All down south its a tough job market out there, salaries : experience required is getting worse!! #

Working a Saturday for first time in ages tomorrow. Will serve me right for doing 3 day weeks for last couple of months! #

Night at @Opera_North for my birthday then tweeps? #

Just seen @Opera_North autumn schedule. Looks awesome!! My fave opera, the G+S I've never seen and Tchaikovsky Queen of Spades. Win. #

Finished work bang on time cos we've had no systems all afternoon. Praise be to the network gremlins. #

So I need to watch all the harry potter films by Saturday. Who has them and wants to let me watch? #

Shocking!! Avoid them. RT @sarannity: And apparently I could have complained but that would only delay the return of my money @AAPresident #

So Staines is a cool pace yeah? #

This work lark is such a rubbish way to spend one's life. #

Bucket List is a really nice film. Why do I keep forgetting about Lovefilm on the PS3?! 15 quid a month is a bargain!! #

Lol @godwinslaw1 lost her Graped virginity. #

Out the office not a moment too soon. Applied for 2 jobs today… @Viki_Chan will be happy that they were both in Leeds. #

I wonder if I post a video on youtube that Mila Kunis would go out with me? #

Is a bedtime beer wrong? #

Following last few tweets, should say I'm looking for work in London/M4 corridor as no career progression in Yorkshire #

If anyone has ideas of 'cheap' (relatively) places to house share of small flat in Guildford-Reading-Slough triangle then let me know. #

Why is everything in the South so expensive? Having a scout around for places to live and its a rip off. #

Argh. Crazy @o2 online ordering system is shocking. Can find my address in myO2 but not on order form. Ah well, its their loss of £60/month #

First night since Thursday that I've been in bed before midnight. Would make a claim about being hardcore, but in too much pain :-p #

First time since @ahsstudents was created that there is nobody from @leedsatheistsoc on the management team! #

Made it back to Leeds. Realised I am hugely dehydrated and that it's all @godwinslaw1 fault for making me go out 2 nights in row. #

Back in familiar territory – the glory that is Kings Cross station. Not long til I'm back. Should I suck it up and just move here? #

Chilling in Woking. Apparently we are going from 5 coaches to 10. #

Looks like Axa Wealth sponsors Basingstoke. Why doesn't @willwybrow sponsor Basingstoke? #

In Basingstoke. Pretty sure that some one I know lives here. Will something or other… #

Gah, still 10min wait for train to London had too many pints of ale before leaving too. Not going to end well… #

Finally leaving Southampton after a great weekend. That's to @SotonAtheistSoc and @godwinslaw1 for looking after us. Great job. #ahsAGM #

Its all over. New @ahsstudents exec elected. @DrEvanHarris given his speech. #drama subsided. #ahsAGM 2012 anyone? #

Its 2.30 in the morning and spent the evening drinking with @ahsstudents very contentedly drunk. #

Watching a circus in the streets of Southampton with @ahsstudents at #ahsAGM #

So the formal #ahsAGM is over. Grats to Jenny, Mike and Dom the new exec @ahsstudents #

#ahsAGM is about the start! #

University of Southampton is a maze. I reckon its worse than Leeds, but then I did spend 5years finding my way around Leeds. #ahsAGM #

Off for breakfast and then to the @ahsstudents #ahsAGM . Thanks to those that partied hard last night only got a few hours sleep. #

So @MikePaynterAHS and @godwinslaw1 ?? What is it and @ahsstudents events and coupling? #ahsAGM #

Huuuge @ahsstudents group hug #ahsagm #

In a club and @MikePaynterAHS is desperate to dance with @andrewcopson . Tho he has been round everyone else. #

its party times with the hardcore @ahsstudents #

Watching @godwinslaw1 and @YoungNicola dance with @MikePaynterAHS is funny. @ahsstudents #ahsAGM #

By crown, I meant crowd. Can't type today. #ahsagm #

Checked into hotel, now to find the @ahsstudents crown. #ahsagm #

Made it to southampton for #ahsAGM only 15mins late in the end. Now to find the hotel then a nightclub! #

Also. How does a train manage to run late when it only stops 3 times. #

So it seems the south of england has no signal. Virtually no 3g signal since leaving london. #ahsagm #

In our nation's capital. #

Cheers to @kieranoshea for the #google invite. Will sort it out after the #ahsAGM #

Half way to London. Got to txfer from Kings X to waterloo then an hour to southampton. Luckily got @stephenfry book to entertain me. #ahsAGM #

Who brings speakers on a train??? #ahsAGM #

Give it a yr and Daily Mail will be asking for NotW back #thegoodolddays RT @RAtheist: RT @jamesgfarrell: PLEASE LET THE DAILY MAIL BE NEXT #

Now up to £53 RT @gibfootballshow: My work colleagues have just said they have donated £50 on paypal for #cobaltore #onagawa #

#ff cont… @qmatheismsoc @leedsatheistsoc @SecularOU @UB_ASH @uccatheists @UCDHumanist @warwickatheists #

Welcome to @joyt26 !! Embrace the 'experience' that is Twitter. #

Welcome to @joyt26 !! Embracet #

That's probably enough of the Duck stuff for one day. #

Other #ahsAGM #ff go out to organisers @richy_thompson @YoungNicola @thealchemist88 and @godwinslaw1 #

#ff will be all about #ahsAGM this week. Obvious start @ahsstudents and @SotonAtheistSoc as hosts #

On a train to @ahsstudents #ahsAGM in less than 17hrs. #

Lol. This would be funny. Next Daily Mail campaign? RT @DavidAllenGreen: I wonder if there will now be a campaign to bring NotW back…. #

RT @MichaelWhite: News Corp still lying. Closing the NoW will allow them to streamline the operation, save cash and launch the Sunday Sun #

RT @BinaryMage: "I shouldn't have gasped when it came out." #thatswhatshesaid #

Only had a cider or 2 but hitting Mill Hill for foods. #

With whole Dawkins thing, Im now smug I took the stance I did back in early @leedsatheistsoc. He is not the messiah. Just very naughty boy! #

This is fascinating reading… http://bit.ly/pJ8RZ3 its a piece on Dawkins, sexism and rational/'skeptical' champions. Via @DavidAllenGreen #

Just been pointed out to me that I have almost no single friends that I talk to on a daily basis. Argh #midlifecrisis #

What's Dawkins done now people? More people should have listened to my side of the debate all those years saying that he was a little silly. #

Train and hotel booked for @ahsstudents AGM in Southampton #

What's that Twitter? You say I should watch Starship Troopers? Well OK then #

Why do people ringing from unknown numbers not leave voicemails. #

BBC News – Opera North denies homophobia http://t.co/hnFWt2P #

BBC News – World of Warcraft offered 'free' http://t.co/fUY5rnk #

Pretty much decided to use my blackberry for work stuff and get something else for personal use. #

Still recovering from excessively tasty, but massive, steak from last night. Mmm so much meat know its good when menu is PIG or COW. #

Very happ birthdays to @Viki_Chan and @ahsstudents president @richy_thompson #

Steak!! Ftw http://lockerz.com/s/117016250 #

Nothing broken only wasted an hour and a half in a+e and a tenner in taxis. #

Fuck. Just bust my knee tripping over my own feet. Ffs. #

Googling Tuscan villas. I blame @Viki_Chan for putting the idea in my head. #

Literally 1 hotel in central London with spaces for tomorrow night. Sucky. #

W00t. Off homeski 4 days off now!! #

Which of my friends will make it to the inner circle feature on the latest @UberSoc version? #

So if none of the teachers are working tomorrow do I get some of my tax back? #

Also visiting new steak restaurant. July is a month of win. #

Poker night next week. Nothing like a night of cards and beer #

Today has been 'fun'. Why is it that the messenger is always shot? Its not my fault that I'm awesome at finding problems. #

Oi Twitter. Who told me they liked John Mellencamp?! Somebody did. It wasn't @Aislinfrancis so she's off the hook (tho means I have no clue) #

Guy on my bus looks exactly like Dexter. #

Finished with work for the day. Fun meetings and some gaming for the rest of the day #

RT @GlasgowSkeptics: Anyone looking to set up a university atheist/humanist/secular society in Scotland should get in touch with @Scottama. #

RT @Footysays: Tweet #Footysays and #Competition to enter our prize draw for PL tickets or a signed shirt! Good luck everybody #

Though not a good sign when its hot enough to warrant air con at 7am! #

So guild run at Nef then?! #

Gutted that internet issues are causing me to fail so badly at gaming, lol. #

When its sunny in am I don't take coat to work then it pisses it down. When I do take coat its fucking roasting. #sodslaw #

Noooooo RT @stephenfry: Oh no Just heard. Peter Falk, who played Columbo, TV's greatest EVER detective, has died. #

So, my earlier tweet about 1st date started a debate. Also, the girl involved doesn't remember it, lol. #

Apparently me saying that I'd polished off @Laura_Gibney 's sausage is amusing to @andrew_gibney #

I'm in London Thurs-Sat next week. Anyone fancy donating some sofa/floor space? #

Can't believe that 11 years ago last week I went on first date with first serious girlfriend. Man I feel old. #

Forgot coat again today. Fail. #

Argh, overslept. Too much magic on PS3 I guess. Tho would have been worse had people been online to play me. Chickens. #

RT @thefootyblognet: Just seen an ad for the Wii, now surely that console is shouting out for a Ghostbusters game! #

That's 300-500 quid I won't see again… (Like the pun…?) #

Why do my glasses insist on breaking at the most inopportune moments!! Especially when I have an already expensive month in front of me?! #

Oooh, @Opera_North is recruiting. Time for a career change? #

Well a really unproductive evening. And I loved it now to turn up the intensity. Climbing 3 mountains in a month!! #

Apparently I won a book. Looks cultured and intelligent. What one would call a coffee table book. Its a photo art book about poverty. #

A little over a month until I'm up in the Dales doing #3peakschallenge . You can sponsor me here http://t.co/WhciDhM . #

Insomnia is so full of fail. #

I'm doing #3peakschallenge in July and need to raise some money. Please support me at http://t.co/WhciDhM RTs appreciated. #

My new haircut. The barber wanted an extra 20 quid to run a razor over it and then @Viki_Chan forgot today. http://lockerz.com/s/112320679 #

Blurry, but indicative, shot of the fun at #wendy last night. @sarannity @TeeEssEll @theblindking and @MR_OJR http://lockerz.com/s/112314691 #

Probably not the sort of pic that should be on internet, but here is @sarannity attached to @MR_OJR crotch. http://lockerz.com/s/112313808 #

A sultry looking @sarannity at #wendy house last night. http://lockerz.com/s/112313347 #

RT @Psythor: David Pollock is talking about Homer – don't remember the episode he's describing though. #BHAConf #

The prevailing attitude seems to be to go for the Jeff Bridges from Ironman look. Now where did I put that razor, never shaved my head… #

Do I go for the Jeff Bridges from Iron Man look today? Am having a hair cut and bored of the usual look. #

Just caught up with the Movie Soundtrack concert from Salford on Radio 3. Fantastic stuff. Also Paloma Faith has good taste in film. #

Exciting times. Se7en is on Stevey. #

Well she won and made it to final too. #winning #

Tho she is now singing a song about Mao whilst holding a 'little red book'. #

Really weird watching an Oriental performer doing Western opera. A very nice weird tho. #

Good luck to the @ahsstudents quiz team at #bhaconf hope they beat the @BHAnews team. #

Just been refused service in the D cos of my tshirt. #

The 15 quid I spent on my desk fan is by far and away the best decision I've ever made. #

How many lices of lemon/lime in my cocktails do I need before I get my 5 a day? #middleclassnightmares #

RT @levarburton: Apparently today is "Captain Picard Day"… In observance I'm ending every sentence with, 'make it so'! #

Hmm, would the world be a better place if we could kill bad dates? #

Gah, just occurred to me I've got to find a hotel in London during Wimbledon #

Wonder if there will be any work to do tomorrow or just more YouTube? Might get a few job applications filled in… #

Got the mental bus driver again. Not sure his antics + rain = survival #

So I didn't wear a coat this morning. #

Just won dinner bed and breakfast at an Inter-continental hotel of my choice now just need someone to come with me. #

2nd night in a row of horribly interrupted sleep. Anyone got any ideas on good ways to stay asleep once gone? #

2 weeks til I visit the Guardian offices in London. How much sabotage you reckon I can get away with? #

Please bear in mind that I've also consumed several (lots) pints of ale in order to flirt with barmaid. #

Stay up and watch Dexter or go to bed and sleep? #

The Who's Live at Leeds album is soooo awesome. #

Forgot to take my break was close to missing my massage too, but made it just in time. #

Star trek 4 is soooo funny. #

Star Trek 4 is on Film4 now. Better get watching!! #

You know you're getting old when 3rd beer of the night takes an hour to drink. #

What to do with my evening Twitter? #

William H Macy is the main character in Shameless USA. Hmmm. #

How embarrassing. I picked up my headphones but left iPod at home. Just wearing headphones is not that cool apparently. #

Clearance sale at Travelling Man. Yes please. #

Nothing quite like Placebo for the bus back home #

I knew there was a reason I'd avoided working Saturdays for the last 9 months… #

First panini at work in aaages. Standards have slipped though, only 1 rasher of bacon these days and 10p more expensive. #

Can't even make it to 1am at the weekend. #toooldforthisshit #

Ooh, free upgrade next time I rent a car where should I go? #

Watching #comedygala on C4. Not sure about the 5min slots, but some briefly funny stuff. #

Giggety giggety. #

So pub tonight? Anyone? #

Went with classic album K by Kula Shaker. #

Can't decide if bus ride home demands Indie playlist or folk-rock? #

Anyone free to go and see royal ballet production of Romeo and Juliet in London on 19th June (sunday. May have spare ticket.) #

Kill Bill 2 sucks donkey balls. #

Fun night in Lincoln with @Aislinfrancis @sarannity @BinaryMage @Viki_Chan @christopherowen and loads of others to celebrate a wedding. #

Day is done. Mostly. Just nightcap to go now. #

In the words of Barney Stinson, it's time to Suit Up! #

Its the big day. Just getting breakfast then picking up flowers for grooms party then its off to the cathedral to ush people. #

I seriously will never remember all these faces for tomorrow. Already been introduced to over 50 family members!! #

Running up and down Steep Hill is killing me only got to do it about 4 more times today then twice tomorrow #thishillistoosteep #

The view from my hotel room in Lincoln. Gorgeous. http://lockerz.com/s/107271975 #

This cathedral lark is pretty awesome. #

Hitting Lincoln with @Viki_Chan and @BinaryMage in a Merc #

Off to pick up the car. Not driven much since Christmas so should be interesting. #

Last minute prep for weekend done. Just need to wash boot polish off arms and then hit the sack. Taxi due 8am. #

This is @Viki_Chan ironing @chrisworfolk 's shirt. http://lockerz.com/s/107095720 #

Definitely a beer garden day. Anyone up for it? #

Ooh, just found out the @sarannity and her company are one of the contractors we use for social media. #

RT @BeatTheFirstMan This is a damning indictment of the sham that is Britain's Got Talent. Love or hate the show, read it http://ow.ly/58lEt #

Double shot latte already today. Not a good start. #

Last day of work for the week not back til Tuesday. Pity not getting much weekend to myself. #

Bed time. Wish I was more rock and roll, lol. #

Pleasant evening but ruined by jobsworth bar staff. #

RT @andyjameshicks: Channel 4 are looking for 16-19 year olds that think sex education is good. Email teens@betty.co.uk #

So I'm about to play toothbrush lottery. Hate it when the cleaners tidy all our stuff into one pile… #

BBC News – Italy: Giuseppe Signori held in football fixing probe – http://bbc.in/jmX1rw #

A bit of Queen always helps cheer me up after a tough old day. #

RT @tessakendall: Men's dislike of salad pays off – two thirds of German E coli victims are female. Real men don't eat green stuff. #

There appears to be actually nothing on in Leeds tonight might have to be creative in thinking of stuff to do… #

I didn't get a single Olympic ticket #

Loving me some Breakfast at Tiffany's on the way to work this morning. The song not the film. Though I do like the film #

Pity RAF Lyneham is closing as part of spending review. Finest junior ranks' mess I've ever eaten in!! #

Good Morning, Vietnam is such an awesome film. Remember catchphrase being played on cassette at reveille at RAF Lyneham when I was there. #

Finally made it onto a bus. Now, can it get me to work in 10mins? #

Screwed up my bus times. Not a good start to the day. #

My interesting weekend comes to an end. Cameo appearance at work in the morning then 3 days til I'm off for a wedding. #ithinkimgettingold #
