Took the boys for the first time to skate park at Halton. William fearlessly rolled slowly out, leaving carnage in his wake. Sunday driver. #
@Kisa @idiotjohnson @rachelleescott Curiously, the first I knew of this was when an out-of-town unicyclist pointed it out to me 2 weeks ago. #
Urgh. Feels like I haven't slept, and now off to work for a couple or 3 hours once more. #
@marieleadbetter Oh, THAT sort of spinning. The killing kind. #

At work since 5, just got back. Can't say I'm thrilled to have been in the office on a Saturday, but at least the weather wasn't enticing. #
@Yorkie71 The boys are pleased with them and they're easy to pack and carry, so we're pleased too. Glad you pointed me in that direction! #
Stunt Scooting http://t.co/cz7jc2iM #
Worse interest and access than a savings account. Give me my money! Electric not so bad, but over 100 quid, still. #
Requested a refund from Southern Electric. £440 in credit for gas. Only eating that credit at 10 per month this winter! #
@kjcos999 @Dan_Whittaker_ @UraGraymalkin I do, and @jabe666 was proposing a night out earlier this very day. Get it sorted, @kjcos999!!! #
@idiotjohnson OMG! I loved The Famous Five! Which one were you? #
@idiotjohnson Also, ginger, like what you am. #
@SharonMcG1971 Nice. Did you retire then? Congratulations! #
Hmmm, Aberlour 16 and Marston's Double Drop. That shit is RIGHT. #homervsthewire #

Told you! RT @AskPayPal: @jrwi Thanks for being an awesome customer! We appreciate your business! ^FG #
Woo hoo! I'm one of PayPal's favourite customers! #
They didn't even so much as flick their eyes away from the telly when I walked in from work, though. This is not news to me, of course. #
Well, it turns out I *can* buy my kids' love, but it's expensive. They were very sweet when I was buying them 60 quid scooters this morning. #
A recent listen: Austra – Lose It http://t.co/FTIvSITq http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
@dartogreen I'll ask around for you. Sure you can't make it? c.c. @Pete_Eaton #
Hmmm, nice. Windows extension: Send to kindle from the context menu in explorer, or print to kindle from within a doc. http://t.co/8z3yQc9W #
@dartogreen Don't think so, but I can ask around. It could be that @Pete_Eaton knows someone in Porto who might. How much we talking? #
@Pete_Eaton I don't consider stroking your balls a penalty at all. Want me to shout "Get in the hole!" at you while we play around? #
Actually, the Holmfirth gig might be before Primavera anyway, but, it would still be nice to have seen them in Oporto. (Ah, no, it's August) #
Gah! The @weddingpresent are playing Seamonsters at Primavera Sound. It should have been Optimus Primavera! Have to wait for Holmfirth now. #
Oh, and only 127 days to go! #
Just seen the line up for Optimus Primavera Sound properly for the first time and it's actually quite good! Bonus! http://t.co/zSZtmeAC #
@Pete_Eaton I love having to replace your ball after enemy action, and, if you're put off by an explosion, it's still a penalty stroke! #

So, I guess it's to bed to dream of the savings I could have made if I were a better person. #
…And with 2 mins to go and 21 of 60 uploaded, I'm not hopeful of checking out with my @SnapfishUK photo book before the deadline, either. #
Lost the battle to get my @SnapfishUK photo calendar completed by midnight to get the 50% discount. Ah, well, so many photos, so little time #
Emergency shuttle call out! #cocknotspace #
@Kisa After ten years, you have my sympathy. It's only been affecting me recently and I'm hoping it's temporary as it's excruciating. #
A recent listen: The Sea and Cake – Middlenight http://t.co/1Whd1AiC http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
@Kisa Found them lying around. I don't believe I'd have ever bought them. Will have to invest in proper drugs if insomnia is a new feature. #
@Kisa If it gets to 1 am and I notice, it'll be whisky tonight. #
@Kisa Similar to a technique I've used before, in conjunction w/slowing breathing & movement. Worked well in the past, failed me last night #
…although it probably doesn't matter whether I know it or not. Oh no! What if they're NOT placebos, just sugar pills!? #
Back on the herbal Nytol. Can't cope with another night of no sleep until 3am. Just hope my brain doesn't realise they're only placebos. #
Road Tax sorted – a simple matter of handing over the paper work and the cash. No clearer on why that can't be done at the P.O. #

Powercut in Torrisholme, apparently. I'm only going off telephone reports. Not all streets affected; highly localised, or phased? #

@BevviW Return returned. It's not too time consuming for me, which is good, but bad, because it makes me think I should be more invested… #
Hit return to return your return to the return office. Your browser will return you to the return page on return from return submission. #
If you are not able to wait for a response, you can log out and return to your return later, to confirm that HMRC has received your return. #
@GarethJBall That's shocking – I hadn't heard about that. So, everything will have to be on-line or at a PO? Or Swansea. #
Yeah, thanks the DVLA. I totally need a list of your offices in alphabetical order. I always decide where to go based on initials. #
A recent listen: The Twilight Sad – At The Burnside http://t.co/UQW6nhvl http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Veronica said that there's no sign saying dogs are not allowed in the play area, but Jesus! We shouldn't need to be told not to shit here! #
I've removed the Budweiser bottles, but I'm not really equipped to clear the animal filth. #
The play area at Halton is an excellent facility. Pity some people don't have the decency not to leave broken bottles & dog shit all over. #
@marieleadbetter You owe me 4.70, @UraGraymalkin 171.70. #
@Pete_Eaton ILYDRMT! We're arriving in Porto on the Wednesday late morning, leave on the Tuesday late morning. Brussels Air. @UraGraymalkin #
A recent listen: The Doors – The WASP [Texas Radio And The Big Beat] – Remaster http://t.co/2KcOCt8z http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
Now for The Two Towers. Enjoyed 'Fellowship…' much more last week than when I first saw it so I've been looking forward to it. Also, beer. #
@marieleadbetter I didn't realise you had a bf – does Ian know? #
Boys' height charting: Since last measurement in August, William has grown 4.2cm, Toby 3. Toby was 6cm taller at the same age as Will today. #
@BlueVanMan Crazy. Thought I'd just go into the PO & give them £140 and get a tax disc. Not possible. To Preston with my log book I must go. #
@BlueVanMan If I want to continue to be exempt, I have to prove I'm disabled. If I don't, I have to prove I'm not disabled, in Preston. #
Presumably, this inconsistency is to prevent people fraudulently paying hundreds of pounds for road tax when they should be paying nothing. #
You can register as disabled and tax-exempt at the post office, though. #
Very cross to discover that to switch my car from tax-exempt disabled status I must present myself and the vehicle at the registry office. #
If anyone's in Lancaster, can you pop into Esquire and pick me up a haircut? I can pay you back on Tuesday. Thanks. #
In the Penny Street Bridge. Just for a meal and a few drinks with some work friends, not trying to subjugate it or rule over it in any way. #

Doing some important work on my to do list. Adding things to a to do list is the same as doing them, right? #

@marieleadbetter Yes, I see no reason to delay, and many reasons to get this sorry episode behind us. #
@marieleadbetter The people who've invested $17m in the company probably wouldn't be very happy if it were dodgy. Unless they're the Mafia. #
@marieleadbetter It does look good, although the location isn't as good as the other one. #
@marieleadbetter Fuckit, fuckit, fuckit, fuckit. How much more expensive?! #
@marieleadbetter Hmm, Manchester would be more convenient, albeit an *early* start. #
@marieleadbetter I was, but there's nothing suitable involving Lisbon for our dates – either more expensive or stupidly early flights back. #
@marieleadbetter @uragraymalkin God, I'm bored with this planning. You booked the apartment, yet? http://t.co/lQR4Rnwf #
@Pete_Eaton You can do it with Spotify, and so probably other apps too. Why not iTunes? I can tolerate it for iPod use. #

@Yorkie71 @Kisa I've been in shorts today. Seriously. Only because I didn't get 'round to changing after my Muni ride earlier. And I'm hard. #
@marieleadbetter It's a staple in Heston's recipes – http://t.co/RRUMFBcF #
@marieleadbetter Did you contract norovirus? #
@Pete_Eaton Yes, someone else has recommended that route, sounds fun, going to look into Lisboa flights. #
@marieleadbetter @dartogreen Could do, but if it were Liverpool we'd drive. Like the Lisbon and train to Oporto idea, going to look at that #
@dartogreen Yes, the alternative is more expensive, but had better times and less UK travel. Not perfect by any means. #
@dartogreen Sounds sensible, plus bonus rail journey through Portugal Will investigate. #
@Pete_Eaton …not booked anything yet, though. You got any flight tips? The travel is a real PITA. #
@dartogreen Initial: Ryanair Stansted – Porto. Alternative: EasyJet/RyanAir combo, Liverpool-Madrid-Porto. #
@Pete_Eaton Looks like we'll rent an apartment – there's the 3 of us now, down from the 15 who originally reckoned they'd go. 6th – 12th. #
@dartogreen Not as such, but I have offered an alternative to @marieleadbetter's initial suggestion. We really need to get something sorted! #

Last ep of Treme season one, then. Hoping it matches up to the very high standards set by Costner's deft direction of Robin Hood. #
@SharonMcG1971 Yeah, we weren't happy with the high incidence of out-of-place accents either. #peskyhistoricaldetails #
@DHNewHawks I can't get enough of him. The film reeks of Islamophobia. Casting Christian Slater as the Scarlet Pimpernel is the last insult. #
Toby's less than impressed with Costner's Hood, finding him to be morally lightweight, with vengeful tendencies. Not like 'his' Robin. #
@alikichapple You should have done. #
@DHNewHawks Ace, can you pop round here and turn this film off for me? #
@alikichapple Yes, I'm enjoying that all of the castles and fortifications are very clearly 800 years old. D'oh! #
@alikichapple Good grief, is that your idea of tactful?! I'd have been quite upset if it really was my favourite film. #
@alikichapple That's generous. It's like a case study of ham. #

@natwallbank Will do some googling against the router model and this problem, and dig out a switch! #
@natwallbank Not for any internal traffic, and the external rules haven't changed. All of the rules are at gateway level, not ethernet port. #
@natwallbank You'd think. I've no idea what happened, though. Working last week & there are no port-specific admin settings in the router. #
@natwallbank Cracked it! I don't know why, but the problem was the specific port on the router. Only 1 of the 4 now allows browsing. Wtf!? #
So, riddle me this… WTF? How can the ports be broken in such a way that you can connect, get an IP, ping, but not browse http? #linksys #
After spending several more hours on the http problem, I cracked it. 3 of the 4 ethernet ports on the router are affected, the fourth works. #
@ToykoJazzPanda It's allegorical hair? #

@facey I get the HTML for The Server Timed Out… #
A recent listen: New Order – Leave Me Alone http://t.co/FyMNPWN2 http://t.co/n2PGbye5 #
@facey Don't think so – I can ping using FQDNs, and browse from elsewhere on the network using the same gateway (and so DNS server). #
@natwallbank I did have a virus scanner on, but still no joy with it disabled. Also tried some https, and still timing out. #
Right, tea, then I'm going to dig out that live linux stick, after I've chucked a packet sniffer on, see if that gives any clues… #
@natwallbank Internally they're on 80. I could try changing that and see if it helps. #
@mrkchmbrs @natwallbank No _specified_ proxy settings, that's right. None of this has changed recently, so I'm baffled. Virus? #
@natwallbank No browsing anywhere, internally or externally – browsing to the router admin from my netbook, but not possible from the PC. #
Planning to install a new OS on this new PC in the next day or so when my new disk arrives anyway. #new #probablyubuntu #
Alright, I'm going to see if I can dig out a Liniux live USB stick I know I've got lying around somewhere, see if I can browse from that… #
OK, so FTP is working and I can connect to both internal and external FTP servers. This has to be software rather than hardware, right? #
@natwallbank No proxy settings for the web at all, FW disabled. No browser works! I can FTP to other devices on the LAN, but not browse… #
Gonna check for firewall weirdness now, but it still didn't work when I'd disabled the FW last night… #
Seriously though – The PC has an IP, can ping other internal and external IPs and FQDNs, can be pinged internally, but can't load www – wtf? #
Peppers stuffed, hidden functionality on the Humax guide discovered, now off to do more network wrangling and electronics thumping. #
@Yorkie71 IP. Yes, extremely odd and frustrating. It's not a firewall killing the browsers either, as far as I can tell. Need longer on it. #
Off to bed. Maybe some elves will come and fix everything in the night if I leave some food out for them. #
Very, very annoyed. #
Now the PC is playing up. Thought it was the router, but it seems to be the network card. I can ping sites successfully, but not browse them #
It's really shit at origami. #
All of my technology is dying. The fan in the NAS has gone down, meaning the NAS has gone down, and the printer is now attempting origami. #
