  • @jemimakiss Er, isn’t it 5km or 3 miles? You said 3km in your tweet. Good luck to you and the bump and your mum on her own race. in reply to jemimakiss #
  • @lfns I’m leaving London and moving to San Francisco. I was hoping to come out for a final skate but my skates are now in shipping boxes! in reply to lfns #

  • I’m feeling tired after a long day moving house but relaxed after brushing my friends’ French sheepdog, playing Kerplunk and drinking Pimms. #

  • The removalists (aka ‘movers’) have just left. The house still doesn’t look empty. Hopefully the British Heart Foundation will come today. #
  • @veilandtrain I have added you so that we can chat via DM re article. Can you please do the same, at least temporarily? in reply to veilandtrain #
  • @jemimakiss Unfortunately not but I’m sure the pregnancy is worth @willwhipple being the primary nappy changer for a while. in reply to jemimakiss #
  • @ourman I’m sure Alastair Campbell is orchestrating his rehabilitation. He’s a spin doctor – that’s what he does. Why are we buying into it? in reply to ourman #
  • @eatlikeagirl I’m sorry to hear about bad experience at Tayyabs. Did you take any steps to rectify it on the night? eg. send food back? in reply to eatlikeagirl #
  • RT @JimMacMillan: In New Zealand, you can easily watch the sun rise and set from two coasts on same day: http://bit.ly/vO4vg (great fact!) #
  • I only invited a handful of young children to my wedding due to their tendency to be either jocund or cranky, never in between. @definethis #
  • @GemmaCartwright @shinykim Surely the problem is that there are usually more tall people than there are exit row seats? in reply to GemmaCartwright #
  • @ourman Speaking of rehabilitation, Blair could be next, given that Brown is so unpopular. PS I want to see Blair’s expenses! #
  • Fab post from @kathrynelliott on Limes & Lycopenes about how to choose SUSTAINABLE fish that is high in Omega 3. http://bit.ly/3aUuW #
  • @Matt_Parsons If you are already past security, you can take your coffee on board the flight with you. in reply to Matt_Parsons #
  • Dear Aung San Suu Kyi, may your light never go out. Peace be upon you and the Burmese people on your 64th birthday and beyond. #assk64 #
  • Surely this story re Tony Blair’s expenses being shredded deserves more investigation and attention? http://bit.ly/lWO3I (link via @ourman) #
  • @alaninantwerp Olivia Wirth – I know that name! I think we went to uni together. By the looks of it we overlapped in London but never knew! in reply to alaninantwerp #
  • @eatlikeagirl It can be hard to send things back but it’s worth doing so rather than suffering in silence. Tayyabs can’t rest on its laurels in reply to eatlikeagirl #
  • @eatlikeagirl They said a black man would be US president when pigs could fly. Sure enough 100 days into Obama’s presidency …swine flew! #
  • @PColemanchester There’d be nothing to show. Media organisations tend to keep journos on a very short leash when it comes to expenses. in reply to PColemanchester #
  • @markhjones That Costello article on Sol Trujillo was very interesting. Broadband in Australia is still a disaster. in reply to markhjones #
  • RT @HeatherWilson: I’ve made a personal pledge to never use LOL unless I really have. (That’s a good pledge – but we need an alternative). #
  • @markhjones It’s not so much the speeds that are the problem but the download limits are really starting to bite and the cost is too high. in reply to markhjones #
  • @markhjones In London I get broadband for £20 a month, fast & unlimited. I’m sure it’ll be good in San Francisco, my next port of call, too. in reply to markhjones #
  • @markhjones I understand challenge of decent broadband in the bush but not why it’s sub-par in Sydney & Brisbane. Undersea cables in part. in reply to markhjones #
  • @HeatherWilson What about LOTI (laughing on the inside) or TISFBIDALOL (this is funny but I didn’t actually laugh out loud)? in reply to HeatherWilson #
  • Just joined a twibe. Visit http://twibes.com/BookCrossing to join #
  • @markhjones Yes, hubby (J) has been transferred and I am joining him as soon as I sort out visa. Any tips from your time in SF? in reply to markhjones #
  • Twibes are great in theory. In practice I wish it would filter the “I just joined a Twibe…” posts. #green #journalism #bookcrossing #
  • @emmabarnett Congratulations on the new job – I saw the alert on Gorkana. #
  • The British Heart Foundation still hasn’t showed up to collect my donations. Yes, I’ve called them to chase. Need a coffee & getting fed up. #
  • @kujunat Removalists came today and my skates are now en route to San Francisco. So my last skate in London was the pollen skate. in reply to kujunat #
  • @markhjones I kept trying to tell J that it’s not actually that warm in San Francisco but I don’t think he believed me! in reply to markhjones #
  • @ShaneSakata @guchagucha Similar ad with cute cartoon characters in London about manners on Tube. One pledges: “I won’t eat smelly food”. in reply to ShaneSakata #
  • @nicholebernier Drawn curtains = closed. Definitely. You draw the curtains at night. Figuratively, you draw the curtains on a phase of life. in reply to nicholebernier #
  • @handlewithcare @hollowlegs My jeans shrink when I eat too much. in reply to handlewithcare #
  • By me on EcoSalon >>> Glamping on Wilson Island – this is where I went on my honeymoon. http://bit.ly/100SQh #
  • @Colvinius Fascinating. I’m not familiar with this aspect of German history but the article was most edifiying! http://bit.ly/ll0Im in reply to Colvinius #
  • @TravelSavvyKayt Maybe they could put it more tactfully but I imagine they’re trying to express sympathy and concern, not criticise you. in reply to TravelSavvyKayt #
  • @jemimakiss @willwhipple Congratulations! Can you tell us who or is that a secret? in reply to jemimakiss #
  • @olivemagazine I never bother peeling oranges – I usually cut them in quarters. Simple & clean. They taste great and they’re good for you. in reply to olivemagazine #
  • Noticed upsurge of people following me on Friend Feed. I’m trying to figure out how to use it in a way that won’t replicate existing tools. #
  • I’m thinking Friend Feed might be useful if I limit it to people I know in real world, otherwise it’d replicate Twitter and I’d lose track. #
  • @AdrianHotmail I’m not persuaded of the merits of Friend Feed yet. in reply to AdrianHotmail #
  • Those of you who want to see all @replies (unlike me) may be interested to know that they all appear on Friend Feed. #fixreplies #
  • @anonymoustom If I follow you on Friend Feed and you’ve integrated Twitter into your FF account, then I would see ALL your tweets (bar DMs). in reply to anonymoustom #
  • @anonymoustom I just realised I didn’t answer the actual question. I believe you only see messages from people you’ve chosen to follow. in reply to anonymoustom #
  • British Heart Foundation van is FINALLY here. They were meant to come between 9am and 2pm yesterday, then afternoon, then 1st thing today. #
  • FB RT: Lydia Bell Women threw themselves in front of horses, burnt their bras. For what? Harriet Harman, Hazel Blears, Jacqui Smith. #
  • @anonymoustom Personally I really wish that I could tailor the content I see. I don’t necessarily want to see tweets in Friend Feed at all. in reply to anonymoustom #
  • @rtm I still don’t have integration between Twitter and Remember the Milk. I added you as requested but could not complete the next step. #
  • @rtm The idea is I can add tasks to Remember the Milk by sending you a DM. But of course I CAN’T send you a DM unless YOU add ME. #
  • @rtm I have the activation code but I can’t DM it to you as requested unless YOU add ME. This is how Twitter works! #
  • I’m staying off Twitter until I catch up on The Apprentice. No spoilers are going to get through unless you actually phone me! #apprentice #

  • @environmentsite Is that because of increased demand (signalling economic growth) or decreased supply (signalling peak oil)? in reply to environmentsite #
  • RT @jenniferesque: Today program doing item on brakeless, fixed-gear bikes in Washington DC. Why didn’t they come to East London to do it? #
  • @davelee Is your question about yurts an actual question or a rhetorical one? It’s a Mongolian semi-permanent tent-like building. in reply to davelee #
  • @environmentsite Oil price has dropped coz demand has fallen, agreed. But you were talking about projections for future – different story. in reply to environmentsite #
  • @john_larkin @digitalmaverick Twitter is useful to meet people who share interests, to promote your own work, and to get interesting links. #
  • @distanthopes @tashjudd @ollybenson Came up with example of an abbreviation that I’d use in writing. St not St. for street (or saint). #
  • @tashjudd @distanthopes @ollybenson Yes it’s probably the second T given it’s also the contraction for saint and road is written Rd not Ro. in reply to tashjudd #
  • @tashjudd @distanthopes @ollybenson I do occasionally write especially as esp for space reasons eg. when writing tweets. in reply to tashjudd #
  • @girlonetrack I hate it when someone’s Twitter feed consists exclusively of links to their blog posts, like there’s no human there at all. in reply to girlonetrack #
  • @girlonetrack But I enjoy having links to blog posts amid a stream of other interesting commentary. It makes it easier to find good stuff. #
  • @girlonetrack I use RSS but I try to keep # of feeds manageable. I don’t have your blog in RSS but I’d follow links in your Twitter stream. in reply to girlonetrack #
  • @girlonetrack I’m fine with links to blog posts once a day or several times a week but if it’s several posts a day then it’s gets annoying. in reply to girlonetrack #
  • @girlonetrack I think most bloggers probably use Twitter Tools or Twitter Feed so it tweets automatically when a new blog post goes up. in reply to girlonetrack #
  • @freecloud That’s a shame. I wouldn’t follow a blog post only Twitter stream, but I’d happily follow links if I already chat with the person in reply to freecloud #
  • @girlonetrack Errant apostrophe in my last tweet to you too. ;-) I don’t think there’s right or wrong, I’m just saying I’d enjoy your links in reply to girlonetrack #
  • RT @jenniferesque: The prevalence of MDF in modern furniture means the events in the Narnia Chronicles could not happen today. #narniafacts #
  • @ourman No, I think it’s that the Telegraph has been staggering the revelations and outed first Labour MPs and now Tory MPs. in reply to ourman #
  • Did you know that TweetDeck has a translate function? I can translate foreign-language tweets at the click of a mouse. Awesome. #
  • @ViralAgent Interesting. I wonder if that works in reverse, since Region 2 is a bigger market and might have more releases. in reply to ViralAgent #
  • I agree with @freecloud @anonymoustom that Twitter offers more than RSS because it’s chat + link, ie. context + content. #
  • By me on EcoSalon, part 2 of how I tried to make our wedding eco-conscious. http://bit.ly/287qnv (part 1 is here: http://bit.ly/aqU5m) #
  • @veilandtrain Here is part 2 of my wedding post: http://bit.ly/287qnv #
  • @alastairmck Sounds like PR FAIL to me. in reply to alastairmck #
  • @figandcherry You were name-checked in Matthew Fort’s column in the Guardian Weekend magazine about http://www.shimawasabi.com.au. #
  • Dishwasher = mission accomplished (sold). My Bug digital radio is currently selling for £10 – get yourself a bargain! http://bit.ly/rMYeU #
  • @rhodri Did you take a photo? That sort of art installation should live on in a photographic record. in reply to rhodri #
  • @davelee Doctor Who is news for MediaGuardian.co.uk. BBC home page, not so much. in reply to davelee #
  • @JohnAByrne Q for Trujillo: If Telstra had been split into 2 companies at time of privatisation, would broadband in Aust be better today? in reply to JohnAByrne #
  • @JohnAByrne That is, if instead of privatised Telstra getting ownership of infrastructure, that had been hived off as a separate company. in reply to JohnAByrne #
  • @JohnAByrne Of course, I realise Australia’s dysfunctional broadband and telco market may not be of great interest to American audiences. in reply to JohnAByrne #
  • @JohnAByrne 140 chara is too short to describe the mess that is broadband in Australia. I’ve followed the link and left full question there. in reply to JohnAByrne #
  • @travelsavvymom @donnalhull Thanks for the stumble on my turtles post – I’m amused by the fact that it’s tagged ‘exotic pets’!!! #
  • The British Heart Foundation driver who was meant to pick up my donations this morning has gone AWOL. The store doesn’t know where he is. #
  • @charlieconnelly LOL. I’m giving stuff to the students upstairs instead (if they want it). BHF had its chance! in reply to charlieconnelly #
  • British Heart Fdn is now coming first thing tomrrw but I gave first dibs to young guys upstairs – they’re STOKED! BHF, you snooze, you lose. #
  • RT @Mikeachim: AA Gill pokes the still-cooling corpse of the Royal Geographic Society – http://bit.ly/S3aRw #
  • Best line in Gill’s RGS piece? “It was a bit like watching Rolls-Royce voting itself out of car-making in favour of speed cameras.” #
  • I love this post from @penelopetrunk on career lessons from Susan Boyle’s success – especially the first two points. http://bit.ly/ivh0Q #

  • @veilandtrain I’m glad it’s useful – I’ll send you the link to the sequel too. I pruned my follow list since I’m no longer a bride. in reply to veilandtrain #
  • Spoke to my family in Australia. My 7yo sister is delighted with her Wizard of Oz DVD and told me how she jumped whenever she saw the witch. #
  • My Dad told me she was disappointed at first coz she thought the long black-and-white section in Kansas was reflective of the whole movie. #
  • @frombecca I adore pumpkin seeds and I always save my seeds when I eat pumpkin/squash, especially butternut. Good with chilli and salt. in reply to frombecca #
  • Fascinating link from @kathrynelliott about how monkeys manage their diet. Does this have implications for humans? http://bit.ly/Ho5Uf #
  • @frombecca I didn’t know pumpkin seeds were meant to aid sleep but I know they’re full of vitamins & minerals esp zinc. High in fat though. in reply to frombecca #
  • I’ve listed Bosch bench-top dishwasher on eBay. Worth £300 new but starting price is £30 and buy-it-now £100. Bargain! http://bit.ly/1OdqY #
  • PS Please don’t assume you don’t have space for it. The dishwasher is ideal for a London flat because it’s so compact. http://bit.ly/1OdqY #
  • I’ve already had a bid for dishwasher – hoping I won’t have to let it go for £30 though! Digital radio now listed also: http://bit.ly/dGtUY #
  • Cous cous, stir-fried vegetables and poached wild salmon, flavoured with soy sauce and Chinese rice wine. #lunchtweet #
  • Being a spammer must be a second job for a lot of people, judging by the high volume of spam on weekends rather than weekdays in my email. #
  • @amytropolis I meant in email but the spammers are probably quite active on Twitter too. I tend to ignore but block when I find them. in reply to amytropolis #
  • @jenniferesque Keep a damp teacloth over the part that you are yet to cover with filling so it doesn’t dry out before you start to roll it. in reply to jenniferesque #
  • @DonnaLHull In response to your question to @purejulie, in UK it’s the Whitsun bank holiday also known as the late May bank holiday. Random. in reply to DonnaLHull #
  • @jenniferesque Just give it a go. It will probably roll perfectly fine and if it doesn’t, so what? It’ll still taste great. in reply to jenniferesque #
  • What suburb is Old Kent Road in? I know roughly where it is but I need to know the name of the area it’s in. #
  • Is it Bermondsey? (Location of Old Kent Road) #
  • @jenniferesque Defo lengthways so that it’s not too fat – easier to roll and you get more reasonably sized pieces! You’ll know next time. in reply to jenniferesque #
  • @frombecca @debra47 When I have to explain Twitter to someone, it’s usually the case that they also don’t know about RSS and IM. in reply to frombecca #
  • Thank you @LyzzyBee and @alaninantwerp. I have gone for Southwark since that covers a broad area. #
  • Sorry about the public plea for stumbles. It was meant as a DM for someone. I’ve deleted the tweet but it may still be in the stream. #
  • @Sandwagon Turtles are a strong contender to be my favourite animal – so beautiful and graceful and gentle yet strong. in reply to Sandwagon #
  • This kid is a hero! He’s keeping a lending library of ‘banned’ books (NOT filth) in school locker. http://bit.ly/zlphA #
  • TweetDeck doesn’t give me enough API. It reset 7 minutes ago, I’m already up to 85/100 and it won’t reset until for another 53 minutes! #
  • I’ve just realised API is counting down not up, so it won’t run out for a while yet. I bet it will still run out a quarter hour early though #
  • Just got back from a run. Tossing up whether to make this aubergine stew http://bit.ly/VZTYv or spaghetti bolognese (healthy version). #
  • Label on KTC-branded can says “PEELED PLUM TOMATOES in Tomato Juice”. Um, if the tomatoes are peeled, why do they still have their skins on? #
  • RT @boonspoon And I thought Long Beach got crowded… the Chinese like to use floats in the Dead Sea http://tinyurl.com/q458be (great pic!) #
  • @artistatlarge I’ve read 1 Milan Kundera book, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I loved it. I didn’t realise he was still alive! #litchat in reply to artistatlarge #

  • @tashjudd You just put D username at the front of the text and send it to Twitter as normal. in reply to tashjudd #
  • @shirleybrady I’m from Sydney originally, where AFL is a strange southern sport, except when the Swans are on a winning streak. in reply to shirleybrady #
  • Glorious spring day at Bletchley with @tashjudd @distanthopes @ollybenson. Stupefied by sunshine, wine and fish pie. Ready to curl up soon. #
  • As I went through my following list I realised quite a few people are actively tweeting but I’m not seeing their tweets in TweetDeck. Why? #
  • @environmentsite US gas prices are too low and need to rise in the long term, even though it will obviously be a painful journey. in reply to environmentsite #
  • @keithemmerson Nothing to do with that. I realised that I haven’t seen ANY tweets from some people for the months that I’ve used TweetDeck. in reply to keithemmerson #
  • @deabirkett Nice to find you here on Twitter. How is life and the travel writing / teaching game going for you? I’m moving to San Fran. #
  • @keithemmerson Maybe it doesn’t load tweets older than a certain point but I don’t know cut-off. I follow quite a few in other timezones. in reply to keithemmerson #
  • @KathViner I had quite the hangover after the media pod drinks too. I didn’t feel I drank too much at the time but obviously I was mistaken. in reply to KathViner #
  • @Screenjabber The fundamental problem with Peaches Geldof is that she wants constant attention yet says / does nothing interesting. Tedious! in reply to Screenjabber #
  • @keithemmerson Either that or it can’t deal with me following large numbers of people – I’ve just edited from 750+ to 650+. in reply to keithemmerson #
  • @ollybenson Discussions about grammar but also football codes and The Apprentice. Have you watched it yet, by the way? It’s a goodie! in reply to ollybenson #
  • @shirleybrady Russell Crowe co-owns South Sydney Rabbitohs but that’s rugby league not AFL. Quite different but arguably equally dull. in reply to shirleybrady #
  • Getting reacquainted with my film camera coz digital one died. It’s strange having to conserve film – I’m usually click, click, click. #
  • I remember my way around SLR with aperture/shutter speed but forgot that the camera has a flash until I’d taken several underexposed pics. #
  • @girishmallya Camera readings indicated lower shutter speed needed (aperture already wide) but I didn’t have a tripod so I couldn’t comply. in reply to girishmallya #
  • @girishmallya I was using 200 ISO film inside building. Frustrated since with digital I change ISO with button. Then I recalled the flash. in reply to girishmallya #
  • It’s midnight. So much for my early night. I’m going to bed now though. Get to sleep in tomorrow at least. #

  • @hackneye To me Facebook still has value as a tool to stay in touch with old friends. I don’t befriend strangers on FB but follow them here. in reply to hackneye #
  • @hackneye Games are addictive – got rid of that. FB’s good for organising events, finding old friends, keeping in touch, sharing photos. in reply to hackneye #
  • @hackneye I’m not a huge fan of Facebook. Clunky interface and I hate the pointless apps and app spam, but I do find it useful in some ways. in reply to hackneye #
