21:58 Famous Rich and Jobless: Eastenders actors making the unemployed cry. This is the BBC! Don’t worry, Larry, back to work next week. #

22:17 Shouldn’t it be "famous, rich and jobless"? Or even "famous, rich, and jobless", if you’re an Oxford adherent. #

22:47 Watching the final ep of Generation Kill. There’s definitely something more productive I should be doing, but better? Unlikely. #

23:02 @UraGraymalkin It’s all the smart characterisation and clever, cool dialogue you’d hope for from that team. Only problem is it’s only 8 eps. #

23:02 @UraGraymalkin Plus, you know, social/political commentary and that… #

23:45 twitpic.com/1799l8 – Grab a bottle and a glass, let’s have a drink… #

00:36 New album, drool… RT @NMEmagazine: The National announce new album release date and North American tour details dlvr.it/69ZS #

06:35 @UraGraymalkin I didn’t know you had any rooms below the ground floor. #

10:29 @ThingsLancaster Any more info about the museum event? Can’t see anything online about it. Where will the cards be when they’re out? Thanks! #

10:35 Confirmation in this morning’s post that William got his place at Torrisholme. Not unexpected, but good to know! (@ukuleleboy, @natwallbank) #

13:39 @atl You’re not staggering about Lancaster wearing a ‘boob spotting’ T-shirt, are you, as per an obvious stag party I spied earlier?! #

14:28 post.ly/R6YU – Science Rocks! #

15:24 @atl Thought so. Relieved. (didn’t really think you’d go in for boob-spotting uniforms, btw!) #

17:57 Just leaving the golf club. Off home for a fast turnaround and off to meet @UraGraymalkin & @Dan_Whittaker_ for #LancasterBeerfest #

18:24 Home again! Now for a hot shower and a cold beer. spotify:track:6HhxrsKrJdCceZCdPtZuZ0 #

19:01 @UraGraymalkin So what time you hitting the north? Bus or sister? #

19:08 Ooh, if I’m pronto I could meet you… What are your GPS co-ordinates? #

19:13 @UraGraymalkin Good. I’ll get to listen to music on my journey now, instead of your uncomfortable silence. Leaving now, see you in town. #

19:14 A recent listen: Yo La Tengo – False Alarm bit.ly/9RQPu9 bit.ly/jrwifm #

19:19 Boys asked where I was going. I said, "I’m going to the beer festival" and Will said, "what? You’re going to be a vegetable?". Insightful. #

19:26 @EmmaK67 That would be muscle, surely? #

23:48 Just home from #LancasterBeerfest. More sober than the day I was born. How does that work? Still consumed a dirty burger, though. #

19:32 @UraGraymalkin re: Driving. No problem for RGC Thursday, I’ll do it. Probably usual plan, you wait around outside my house for an hour… #

19:40 Got "Spider-Man – The Animated Series" for Will (4). He’s mental for spidey, but can’t stand me. It’s so we can bond. bit.ly/9LfUI7 #

19:45 Just as well he’s not into that Ian Fleming spy otherwise I’d have to get him "James Bond – the animated series", so we could spider-man. #

19:45 No, I don’t get it either. #

19:46 @ukuleleboy I’ve seen it before with my older boy – I actually rather liked it, but I’m no purist with comic heroes. #

19:47 @ukuleleboy Thanks, I was just looking for that! #

19:51 @kjcos999 Did we manage to acquire tickets for Hughes? Is it next week or something? #

20:23 @natwallbank Cool – I didn’t realise the results were out. My youngest is starting this year, too. #

21:30 @ukuleleboy Dunno. Asked the boss and she doesn’t know either, so I’ve got no chance! They must be due nowish if @natwallbank found out… #

22:31 @natwallbank Thanks for the link, we didn’t apply on line, will just have to wait for the postie. Sibling is a good guarantee, not worried! #

22:44 Christ, I wish TweetDeck would get instapaper integration already… #

22:45 …or people would stop tweeting links. One of those. #

22:53 @fleming77 I love the links – use instapaper on my phone and it’s great for getting through them. Shopping, Peterborough or both yuk? #

23:08 @fleming77 Oh dear! Sounds awful, have fun! #

00:15 @UraGraymalkin Ooh, just realised that that’s only next week. Very excited now, must check out their new material. Who’s driving? #

08:22 @Dan_Whittaker_ That’s bad about the contract – when will you find out and notice do they have to give? #

08:24 @Dan_Whittaker_ I’ll keep in touch on the planning, then. We don’t even have tix so you might not need to ponder too much! #

14:07 May read work papers and hold loud phone conversations with the office on the way back. People will know I am a man of business, oh yeah. #

14:09 Or maybe I’ll listen to Fanfarlo and read my Luke Haines book and eat a baguette. I’m not sure yet. #

14:22 Oops, is that the time? Best get my gear together and hit the road – off to Guildford today, by train, for a meeting in the morning. #

16:00 @Girlonatrain Sunday in the bosom of one’s own family & the comfort of one’s own home is overrated. Guildford Premier Inn is where it’s at. #

16:05 @UraGraymalkin Guildford is nr that London village & where my lords and masters have based their fine offices, their outpost on these shores #

16:07 @UraGraymalkin It never fails to amuse them that Lancaster is quite far from London. Ha ha ha, they say, why would you choose to live there? #

16:09 @UraGraymalkin But the last laugh is mine. Ha ha ha, I say, you had to stay at home last night, I got to stay in the Premier Inn, for free! #

16:13 @idiotjohnson I hope it’s not an inside loo, they’re un-hygenic. I’ve brought my chamber pot anyway. I Don’t leave home without it. Ever. #

16:22 @Girlonatrain Not an issue. I bathed only last full moon and I have a fresh posie. Or something. #

17:13 I’ve got good 3g connectivity and a power source – what the hell, I’m trying #Spotify mobile! #

17:24 Right, so Google maps thinks I’m in M/C (I’m c. 1 hour from London) & Spotify mobile won’t stream anything. Are you happy, @Nokia? #

17:26 A recent listen: Ra Ra Riot – Ghost Under Rocks bit.ly/cDs8OG bit.ly/jrwifm #

17:31 However, I’m enjoying ‘The Real Ramona’ in Spotify offline mode. This wouldn’t have been otherwise possible and only takes a few hours prep. #

17:52 post.ly/Q3Pd – I honestly don’t get it. There’s no braille anywhere else on the train, or the entire rail system for that matter… #

17:55 Hey! It’s well dark down here in the sarf. They don’t put *that* in the brochures. #

23:44 Stupid phone gave up very early tonight, so I’ve been unable to post interesting pictures of Guildford and the lovely Italian meal we ate. #

23:45 Guildford has some very interesting looking buildings, and I would recommend The Olivetto restaurant, especially if the Corp is paying. #

23:47 I should now seek sleep – however, like my children, I’m allowed 1 thing before then. Do I choose an ep of The West Wing or some reading..? #

23:48 Either will be accompanied by whisky, natch. #
