Twitter Updates for 2009-06-17
- I make cameo appearance in this video of a unicyclist at Cardiff Bay. That’s me at end taking photos of nude bike ride. http://bit.ly/WkQm3 #
- @jemimakiss I’m in Orkney for several days but moving around a bit since accommodation is chockers for the St Magnus Festival. in reply to jemimakiss #
- @handlewithcare I’m fairly careful – right now I’m homeless anyway. You’ve tweeted about leaving the office – isn’t that the same thing? in reply to handlewithcare #
- @Reemski Pronounced can-ap-pays with emphasis on final syllable. Drives me crazy when people pronounce it as can-apps. in reply to Reemski #
- @Reemski Epicurious food dictionary says canapé can be pronounced kan-uh-pee as well as kan-uh-pay. I didn’t know that. http://bit.ly/FrS6v in reply to Reemski #
- @johnplunkett149 The only type of tern I’ve knowingly seen is the Arctic tern. They breed in the Arctic and summer in the Antarctic! in reply to johnplunkett149 #
- @Harkaway I think Scrivener is fantastic. I’m probably not even using it to its full potential. in reply to Harkaway #
- @vikkistone I am moving to San Francisco soon! Meanwhile, I’d like to return your song book, which I’ve had for a year now. #
- @mightymur If true, you could probably argue that NONE of the ‘white’ characters in Matrix have brown eyes (since Reeves is half Asian). #
- @Travelwriticus I assume you mean the nude cyclists not the unicyclist? I think they were protesting climate change but I’m not sure. in reply to Travelwriticus #
- By me on EcoSalon>>> A Surfboard Made from Renewable Materials http://cli.gs/V2j2B5 (RT @TweetMeme) #
- @Travelwriticus We have that in the UK and Australia too – it’s called Critical Mass. This was different but the cause wasn’t clear. in reply to Travelwriticus #
- @handlewithcare Is chicken sashimi a real thing? It doesn’t sound safe. Something like 90% of food poisoning is from either chicken or rice. in reply to handlewithcare #
- @howardt Yay! I’ve met Tim Cahill. He’s lovely. in reply to howardt #
- I’ve been invited to a recipe exchange – it’s like a chain letter but I quite like the idea. Does anyone want to take part? I need 20 names. #
- @handlewithcare I wasn’t thinking of office security! I meant that if you are leaving the office, it means you’re not home. Re sashimi, LOL! in reply to handlewithcare #
- @jenniferesque No curses involved! in reply to jenniferesque #
- @handlewithcare I understand what you are saying and not trying to argue but I’m not sure it’s that different – 8 hours is enough time. in reply to handlewithcare #
- By me on EcoSalon >> 9 Simple Ways Going Green Saves You Money http://tinyurl.com/noswwv (RT @tweetmeme ) #
- @frombecca It’s 3pm in UK, 4pm in Europe. East Coast of Americas awake but West Coast still asleep. in reply to frombecca #
- @Harkaway There’s definitely a carbon cost to using a computer and for the postage but I think it’s still greener to buy secondhand. in reply to Harkaway #
- @Harkaway Using a book exchange site is definitely greener than ordering new off Amazon. Also factor in whether you drive to shops. in reply to Harkaway #
- @Harkaway It’s also not true. The physicist quoted in that story said he was misquoted. http://www.ecosalon.com/counting-the-cost-of-pixels/ in reply to Harkaway #
- @Harkaway The IT industry as a whole is a major polluter and a growing one, but Google is probably more energy-efficient than most sites. in reply to Harkaway #
- @Harkaway Anyway, no Googling is required to use a book exchange site. in reply to Harkaway #
- @Harkaway Of course I do think we should support authors and buy books. I written about this before. http://bit.ly/CWvIO http://bit.ly/ZwfAK #
- @Harkaway I’m sure it would be a green saving – the server load of those massive online games must be enormous! in reply to Harkaway #
- @Harkaway I’m sure eBook readers will get greener. Problem is life cycle of gadget, not just energy usage. People upgrading iPhones already. in reply to Harkaway #
- @hollowlegs Humour doesn’t always come across in tweets, as you and I have discovered before.
in reply to hollowlegs # - @eatlikeagirl @hollowlegs In UK I feel bad for buying veg from Spain. In Australia, I’ll buy from the next state over and consider it local. #
- First recorded Caucasian death on Australian soil was an Orcadian. One of Captain Cook’s men, named Sutherland. Died of TB at Botany Bay. #
- Discovered a wonderful jewellery shop from local Orcadian artisan called Sheila Fleet. Planning to buy a piece if I can afford to. #
- I very rarely send meals back but roast lamb at Shore Hotel in Kirkwall was overdone and tough. Almost £20 and local meat so asked them … #
- Waiter has returned. Problem with today’s lamb shipment – normally lovely and tender so maybe hung wrong? Giving me another dish. #
- Ordered scallops to replace tough lanay – tender, juicy and delicious. Shore Hotel has redeemed itself! #
- Drat pre-emptive text on mobile phones – that last tweet was meant to say ‘lamb’ not ‘lanay’ (you know, that other little-known meat). #
- Feeling much happier now dinner is over. I was shocked when the bill came with no discount – but they did take drinks off once I complained. #
- RT @joegreenz1 in 4 South African men admit being rapists. 88% of rapes go unreported. http://bit.ly/yRcAN (shocking report!) #
- @carondg Spelling of rarebit is correct but no idea about cayacaise. in reply to carondg #
- @jemimakiss I definitely want to hear your tweets while you’re on maternity leave. I guess I’m biased because I know you ftf but still… in reply to jemimakiss #
- @benbold Noo, haven’t you read A World Without Bees? Don’t you know British butterflies are endangered? What about ladybugs and dragonflies? in reply to benbold #
- @benbold Besides… slugs aren’t insects. in reply to benbold #
- RT @shirleybrady Iran’s Twitter revolution? Not so fast… http://bit.ly/GpRaC #iranelection #
- Why are people’s profile pictures green? Is it a climate change / environmental thing or something to do with solidarity with Iran? #
- @kujunat @fushmush Have you been up to Nonya in person to see what’s going on? in reply to kujunat #
- RT @mikeachim Think the British Empire was a triumph of efficiency and sense? Think again. http://bit.ly/JgyoY (LOL – literally!) #
- @alexbainbridge @Matt_Parsons If info is already in the public domain (such as a live, public website) then an embargo wouldn’t apply. in reply to alexbainbridge #
- #helpiranelection – show support for democracy in Iran add green overlay to your Twitter avatar with 1-click – http://helpiranelection.com/ #
- I doubt making my Twitter avatar green will help the Iranian people win democracy but I may as well show my solidarity. #
- @EverywhereTrip Really? Youth hostel in Kirkwall, Orkney last night was £14 plus £1 for towel. It was VERY basic though. #
- @EverywhereTrip You didn’t specify major city! It was rate for dorm but actually half of twin room, since school kids had filled the dorms. in reply to EverywhereTrip #
- @EverywhereTrip Often private room rates in hostels are comparable to hotel but it’s arguably an advantage to be able to cook or do laundry. in reply to EverywhereTrip #
- @EverywhereTrip Kirkwall, Orkney may not be major city but tonight I’m in a single room in a hotel for £55 and that’s more standard. #
- @EverywhereTrip Was the €70 rate for a Brussels hostel for an IYHA hostel or just for something billing itself as a hostel? #
- @NNUS Why? I believe that Mousavi is the democratically elected choice of the Iranian people and therefore I support him in this context. in reply to NNUS #
- @NNUS In any case, the green avatar website does not specifically mention support for Mousavi. http://helpiranelection.com/ in reply to NNUS #
- @NNUS Green is more broadly colour of Islam, though Mousavi has adopted it for campaign. I get what you’re saying but disagree on meaning. in reply to NNUS #
- RT @jeremyhead New travel content site simonseeks.com is dilemma for pro freelance travel writers. http://bit.ly/1JTo6 #
- Same-sex relationships and sex common in nature. http://bit.ly/1gI0S #
- @NNUS I know you do. I wasn’t cranky with you! Just pointing out I can support him as elected leader without saying I’d give him my own vote in reply to NNUS #
