  • @alfiewb Yet… ;-) #
  • @HelenMelonfox @alfiewb Re: FAIL – are you talking about Snake, or leaving your coat behind on the weekend it snows? #
  • @VaiBabe Never. Or you could choose to run around in the cold in just your nappy despite pyjamas being offered, as is the way of L today. #
  • @tenderhooligan 1 foot on draining board & 1 in main sink. Resultant angle of hips allows for greater accuracy of flow & easier wiping. #

  • @tenderhooligan That's what the small middle bit in kitchen sinks was designed for… #

  • Well done Arsenal! #
  • @jakkisibley But Cambridge United aren't playing at home today… #

  • The end of online privacy? http://t.co/MbMXVgrw #
  • @tenderhooligan She's not Alex Kingston so she can't be that bad. #opinionsthatonlyihold #
  • @tenderhooligan Was that pizza picture taken in the middle of a nuclear reactor at meltdown? #
  • @tenderhooligan That's a lovely loaf there so it is… Have you done any seed experimentation yet or it that not your thing? #
  • @tenderhooligan Sorry must have missed them… #
  • @tenderhooligan Can we see some pics of your #breadmaker triumphs please? All we've seen so far are some mutant bagels. #
  • Lana Del Rey vs The Smiths. http://t.co/seDoz56b #

  • Beard trimmed so it's no longer curling into my mouth. Twas a good look but is sadly no more. #
  • @MattAbbottSkint @GLPNE73 Didn't Springsteen cover that Frankie Goes To Hollywood Song? I quite like that… #
  • @alfiewb Harry? #
  • Bugger. Back luck Cardiff… Remember the Liverpool way though – just because you lost it doesn't mean you're losers… #ccfc #
  • Charlie Adam! Rubbish! #
  • @GLPNE73 Too right. Millions of neutrals urging Cardiff on… #
  • Back luck Stevie… #
  • GET IN!!! COME ON CARDIFF!!! #
  • Probably too much to ask for a comeback now, but we're willing you on Cardiff… #
  • If Liverpool lose today they'll wear 'Winners' t-shirts next weekend claiming that just because they lost it doesn't make them losers. #
  • @tenderhooligan Good… :-) Was it tasty? #
  • @tenderhooligan Did you make it in time? You never said! #
  • COME ON CARDIFF CITY!!! #
  • @andthesewalls You could stay here but we're a £30 train journey from the Valley. #
  • @andthesewalls £100 for a ticket from wild frozen wastelands to civilisation sounds a bargain! #
  • @tenderhooligan I feel for you I really do. You have a shit life with all the dangers in your path. #breadmakerangst #tidyupsoyoudonttrip #
  • @andthesewalls @murphyz Kies is shocking but can you think of a single piece of software that has ever come with a mobile and been any good? #
  • @murphyz @andthesewalls No, it's a lot worse than iTunes. Another reason to never touch a Samsung again. #
  • Very enjoyable evening with @RiotousAssembly – if you get the chance, go! #
  • Off out to see @RiotousAssembly in a mo, very much looking forward to it! #
  • @chrisbevan_bbc PLEASE can the Live Reporting page have background updates back? Just took 2 minutes to load the latest item! #bbcfootball #

  • @andthesewalls Didn't Bruce Springsteen cover that Frankie Goes To Hollywood song? #

  • @GLPNE73 Have you given up beating me at Words With Friends? #
  • Good goal… #
  • Absolutely… http://t.co/5INvLqAk #

  • @ZinedineF Rembrandt, Trevor Horn, Johnny Thunders, Linda Ronstadt, Ian Curtis, Mario Kempes, Brigitte Nielsen & The Sultan of Brunei. Cool! #
  • Is beating the life out of someone IN the ring not malicious? RT @Pearcesport: Chisora under investigation for 'malicious injury'. #confused #
  • @murphyz Thank you! Off to bed now – alarm goes off in 5 and a bit hours! #
  • It is nice to be able to go to bed on report deadline evening without any still to do when I wake up. #
  • Do I feel satisfied on a job well done? No – it still feels like that's a whole chunk of my life I'll not get back. But… #
  • And 0! Reports completed and e-mailed to the head some eight and a quarter hours before deadline. I never thought I'd see the day… #

  • And then there were 20… #
  • Started with 27. Now it's 25. #
  • @danroan Brawl outside the ring=disgraceful. Beating the shit out of someone inside the ring=sport? It's all pathetic alpha-male thuggery. #
  • @alfiewb Think it would be better if it was a poster for the Triangle Of Destiny! #
  • @alfiewb Poor Spider Pig… ;) #
  • It's a wet & cold afternoon in N.Essex & the ice cream van is out touting for sales. Guess that means 9 months of that bloody tune in 2012. #
  • Is it just me who can't get the radio coverage of Fleetwood vs Cambridge United? #

  • @GLPNE73 Loads of great places in USA *but* you have to be selective. Writing it all off would be like avoiding Paris because Albania's rum. #

  • @andthesewalls Of course, but once you're up… #

  • @CUFC_tweets @RussGreaves Proper player. One season. Released by us. Short name I think. 3 years ago? MK Dons connection rings a bell. #
  • @RussGreaves in front of the NRE. Name has been on the tip of my tongue all day & it's fecking me off. #
  • @RussGreaves What's the name of the central defender we played at right back a couple of seasons ago. Was responsible for a legendary tackle #

  • @murphyz @HelenMelonfox @andthesewalls Yes but with a different login. Will have a go on another computer. #
  • Interesting to hear if Liverpool accept wrongdoing of some sort after this one. Any remaining fragments of credibility lost if they don't. #

  • @DanLomas @glpne73 Warnock's my choice. Either that or Paul Hart. Phil Brown's free isn't he? #
  • England could do worse than Brendan Rodgers. #englandmanager #

  • From childhood I've disliked Liverpool & they keep giving me reasons not to change my mind. Hope Man U thrash them today. #facup #
  • Shed number 3 has gone… We are now a shed-free family! (Apart from the new flat-packed one under a tarp anyway.) #
  • @BaliBeccy alt-£ for a #? #
  • @tenderhooligan Have a good weekend! #
  • @coinoperated @HelenMelonfox Whatever makes you happy… #
  • @coinoperated @HelenMelonfox You're not a *proper* doctor though are you… #
  • (Re)tweeted about it earlier but well done @alfiewb for another great report. Very proud… #thumbsforward #
  • @ecotricity Facing (gentle) pressure from @HelenMelonfox to consider @ovoenergy on grounds of cost & not-bad green creds. Thoughts? #
  • @CUFC_tweets Thanks for favouriting my tweet but I've deleted it & replaced it with 1 including the weeklydebate hashtag. Just so you know! #
  • @CUFC_tweets Claude le Roy. Does that count? Because he was, if only very briefly. #weeklydebate #

  • @andthesewalls I prefer the Busted version of Teenage Kicks to be honest. #robertpeel #
  • My gf, @HelenMelonfox, was asked for ID! You know what they say: You're only as old as the woman behind the till thinks your girlfriend is. #
  • @HelenMelonfox From? To? #
  • @MattAbbottSkint I like the first two singles but does your head not just turn to mush after a whole album of Lana? #
  • Because we find ourselves in drudgery for trinkets, is it right that we condition the next generation to be (dis)content with the same? #
  • Sorry…missed #joke off that last tweet… :-) #
  • At last, a Valentine's gift idea for @HelenMelonfox! The iron's broken… #
  • The VW… http://t.co/8zAdMBNy #
  • Back on the Wii Fit this evening after 900+ days away. What's kept me busy these past 28 months, I asked my 28 month old daughter… #

  • @andthesewalls Do you have a compost heap? #
  • @andthesewalls Because you're a miserable fecker! ;) #
  • @murphyz Name & shame! #
  • Biggest problem however will be effectively managing my new obsession. Least it's on Mac now so I can work simultaneously. #sb29 #FM2012 #
  • Tactics all set to close down & pressure but stood & watched as amateur Swiss team scored 7. Maybe need to ditch 'calm' team talks. #FM2012 #
  • Going OK in the friendlies but can't get the defence to close down &/or tackle! Obviously training issues that #cm0304 didn't have. #FM2012 #
  • And that I chose to manage #sb29 because of this? #FM2012 #
  • Is it v.sad that due to a recent holiday in Brittany I even know the house I'd buy if I really were on £6k a week as boss of #sb29 #FM2012 #
  • Back managing in France for the first time since a stint at Socheaux rebuilt my career in #CM3 Hoping I can lead #sb29 to glory in #FM2012 #
  • Damn you #FM2012 Damn you… #hooked #sb29 #

  • @prodnose With you on cool & punk-through-rose-tinted-specs. #101 Don't care if it sounds like brown nosing, can you be on TV more please? #
  • @hotpatooties 364 days each year stereotyping & demeaning women. 1 day each year saying well done. Good old Daily Mail. #

  • @daraobriain Great show but that telescope on the far side of the moon:useful or just interesting? Serious question, what would the uses be? #
  • @daraobriain LIVE ASTRONOMY! #
  • @GLPNE73 There's nothing parochial about my feelings for the shit hole but they're not good. #
  • Listened to @thatalexday's Parrot Stories today and quite enjoyed it. I may even give it another listen… #
  • @alfiewb Incidentally, the plant cover is brilliant. In place now over my palm. Thank you. :-) #
  • @alfiewb The voice. Manic, up and down Irish. #
  • @GLPNE73 :) #
  • @GLPNE73 Filth… #
  • @GLPNE73 Excellent! The way we scored snooker when I played in a Blackpool snooker team during a previous life. #
  • @tenderhooligan Which in fact is mentioned at the end of the article! Conan Doyle never explained his survival, why need Moffatt? #
  • @tenderhooligan I don't know, but I believe (following input from @HelenMelonfox) that his death is inspired by this: http://t.co/pdrBHPgK #

  • Watching James Moriarty on #Sherlock I keep thinking about Jedward. #
  • @GLPNE73 I wore so many layers yesterday that the ill-fitting training bib better resembled a crop top. It was still cold… #

  • @tenderhooligan As I'm only half way through watching it I have no idea what it is he did though! :D #
  • @tenderhooligan Search 'Sherlock Holmes' in Google and there are several people asking the same thing. #

  • @alfiewb I agree! #
  • @GLPNE73 Happy with Westley? #
  • @alfiewb @HelenMelonfox @tenderhooligan @andthesewalls @murphyz Hot chocolate? #

  • @tenderhooligan @andthesewalls @murphyz @HelenMelonfox Bloody women sticking together! #
  • @andthesewalls I know we did, but if #6music read our tweets they might bring her back. Be careful! #
  • Recommending the new London Cocktail Club bar in Bloomsbury. http://t.co/2qlCqngm #
  • @andthesewalls (As awful as he is he's better than Josie Long.) #
  • @andthesewalls Are you seeing how many times you can tweet the word 'bacon' in one day? #
  • @tenderhooligan @andthesewalls @murphyz Where's @HelenMelonfox when you need her? #
  • Tiring day at #BETT yesterday in London but v.useful as ever. Enjoyable evening with @murphyz too..remember the days when I wasn't driving? #
  • @andthesewalls @murphyz @tenderhooligan Not in a cocktail surely?! #evenifiwasntvegetarian #
  • @MattAbbottSkint Indeed, before domestication robbed them of the skills wild horses used to weave their own blankets in such weather. ;) #
  • @murphyz Lovely. I'm a little bit jealous. Night! #
  • @andthesewalls @murphyz One of the group had a cocktail with bacon. Yes, bacon. And egg. It was real bacon. #
  • @murphyz Are you STILL there? (I am now in bed…) Good to see you today! #
  • @charltonbrooker Sean Connery in Goldfinger… #
  • @andthesewalls He only stated gender b'se of the play on words with the expression 'to a man' which interviewer used, probably on purpose. #
  • @tenderhooligan I'll stop now, but I'm interested in your views & I disagree with @andthesewalls! :) #
  • @tenderhooligan …unfair stick because of her sex because she does & I cringe at games when it happens (& have stuck up for her!) but… #
  • @tenderhooligan Which, incidentally, she is but no more or less than most of the male referees. I'm not pretending that she doesn't get… #
  • @tenderhooligan Keys & Gray were out of order as they said she was rubbish because she was a woman. Jewell just said she was rubbish. #
  • @tenderhooligan 3rd comment"but he [Lewis] didn't give it. You better ask him why he didn't give it, or her why she [Fearn] didn't give it." #
  • @tenderhooligan …Lineswoman, linesman – both sexist? Assistant Referee – non-gender specific term that no one really uses anyway. tbc. #
  • @tenderhooligan …2nd comment "I thought the lineswoman, or whatever she's called, had a great view" Well what is her title?… #
  • @tenderhooligan http://t.co/XcWA1GEo He slated both male ref & female lineswoman. First comment "to a woman" was a play on words… tbc #
  • @andthesewalls The interviewer said "to a man" & Jewell said "yes, but not to a woman" & she's a woman. He then slated both her & male ref! #
  • FA confirm that "no further action" to be taken over Paul Jewell's comments about assistant ref Amy Fearn. #becausehewasntbeingsexist #
  • @andthesewalls I said something then walked away. You'll not win, but good luck if you try. #
  • Time for a technology detox? http://t.co/euHb1XQI #
  • @andthesewalls Indeed. That's the thing isn't it. I could cope with the non-contact business if it was consistent game-to-game. #
  • @andthesewalls Two-footed tackles that go through the player are nasty, but both of these were more ball-winning slides than actual tackles. #
  • @andthesewalls Well I would say that in both cases they were in complete control and not really anywhere near the player. #
  • @andthesewalls Johnson's was worse than Kompany's. Both of them got the ball though… #
  • HS2 Huge Waste Of Money http://t.co/gy9tKHzw #
  • @slimtim70 @XanderArmstrong But the Star Bar…oft forgotten but worth remembering. #
  • @XanderArmstrong Deep fried Picnic, now there's a treat. With the batter, raisins & biscuit etc. it's like a sweet & sour cornucopia! #
  • Glad @alfiewb likes tea – he makes a cracking cuppa. Thanks! #
  • @andthesewalls For years whilst English football was banned the rest of Europe was far worse. Violence & racism seem to be OK over there. #
  • HS2 isn't going to get people on trains if the fares are still too high & it costs a fortune to get to/park at the stations. #wasteofmoney #
  • @ZinedineF Steve Spriggs. My first football hero, saw him play in the early '80s as an 8-9 year old but would like my memory jogging now. #
  • @andthesewalls @HelenMelonfox There's a fine line between 'wild play' and 'being a pain in the arse'… :) #
  • @andthesewalls In the book WTWTA though there is no playing at all, it's all just wild rumpusing. #
  • If it was a film script we'd laugh at it… Well done Thierry Henry! #
  • @andthesewalls Evil Aunts…they do stop him playing. #
  • @andthesewalls Matilda is stopped from reading books… #
  • New Waybuloo! Pah! Rubbish Waybuloo more link. 'Tis ruined… http://t.co/yFORPL9r #
  • @laurenlaverne At least that's not as bad as what they've done to #Waybuloo #
  • @andthesewalls Yep she has. Not sure how this if different from Barton's activities either although maybe handbags rather than thuggery. #
  • @andthesewalls Hasn't the woman been kept in custody too? Not defending, just clarifying. #
  • @MorganHPhillips Go @ecotricity…great customer service, good prices they monitor and adjust promptly, duel fuel…investing in wind. #

  • @tenderhooligan First it was the z in @murphyz & now it's the b in @alfiewb. Where will it en? #
  • @tenderhooligan @HelenMelonfox & @alfiewb are watching #sherlock but too transfixed to tweet. I've had a meditate & gone to bed instead. #
  • @DanLomas Headspace I'm on day 2 of the Take10 series – check out the Android app! #
  • Worried that the 'light goblin' might attack @alfiewb in the middle of the night despite the new (and rather splendid) profile picture. #
  • @tenderhooligan I think that's for the best. #
  • @tenderhooligan No, which is why you can't just sit in a chair and let them be. #
  • @tenderhooligan Not a bun I trust, for you should never be lazy in getting them out of the oven. #
  • I didn't realise Tubbs from The League Of Gentlemen was a football manager… #pish #
  • Just when you thought #itvfootball couldn't get any worse…Peterborough & Barry Fry. #pish #borobastard #
  • Is it just me or is Phil Jones not quite as good as he's made out to be? In a few years time maybe but at the moment he seems a blusterer. #
  • Would like to see #mcfc equalise, if only to see if #itv have the face to start rubbishing #mufc again after the hype at half time. #
  • Today's Top TV Fact: #itv #039;s football coverage is much improved when your daughter turns up Peppa Pig and drowns out the commentary. #
  • Football. Bloody hell. #
  • @tenderhooligan Had to leave the room when another US import, #NewGirl was on. Even Ms Deschanel didn't stop me hating everything about it. #

  • Sick of pointless facile anti-racism tweets & retweets from people posturing on the back of a bandwagon. What do you think you're achieving? #
  • Every trip to Braintree Freeport rips away, screaming, a huge chunk of your soul. Makes me want to live in a cave. #
  • @murphyz Why does your Twitter homepage allow me to see how much time I spend on Twitter? #
  • Blackpool vs Fleetwood. The only game where I'd have a greater desire for BOTH teams to lose would be Peterborough A vs Peterborough B. #
  • @andthesewalls Because anything's better than 'comedian' Josie Long, even him. #

  • @murphyz An intentional shock proof test? #
  • I'll have an R. And an I. And a P please Bob. #bobholness #blockbusters #
  • @hotpatooties She's Ryan's sister-in-law… Nice eh? #
  • Fantastic result for Cambridge tonight, so what happened against Braintree?! Nevermind… #ijwt #
  • @murphyz Not here, though her delivery always suggests she does. One of the most irritatingly unfunny people I know is Josie Long. #

  • @GLPNE73 Have they dropped round-the-clock from the World Darts Championships this year then? #
  • @murphyz No chance, unless you're not free on the 4th… #
  • @GLPNE73 @SuzanneLuca5 @DanLomas I've failed to correct that typo three times now – it can stay! You know what I mean! #
  • @GLPNE73 @DanLomas @SuzanneLuca5 You've never mentioned that ever G. #feignssurprise #
  • @SuzanneLuca5 @DanLomas @glpne73 I'll send you all advance copies of the questions if you'd like! I always need guines pigs. #
  • @alfiewb No Alf, there will be no Sky. Commenting on my Twitter feed being filled by Sky-watching friends this evening. That's all. Sorry. #
  • @DionDublinsDube My friends @GLPNE73 & @DanLomas have filled my Twitter feed with darts this evening – it had *better* be worth it! #
  • @GLPNE73 @DanLomas Canada… #
  • @DanLomas @glpne73 It's the PTFA quiz actually. #
  • @SuzanneLuca5 (I have no intention of doing so really…) #
  • @GLPNE73 @DanLomas Not really, but you are hampering preparation of the quiz I'm creating because I keep seeing new tweets and refreshing! #
  • I feel I ought to be subscribing to Sky so I can watch darts. #
  • @SuzanneLuca5 It refers to my previous tweet. To clever by half me, imho of course… #
  • @SuzanneLuca5 #ffc can you stop moaning? :D #
  • Keep reading #ffc as "for fuck's sake". Changes various tweets' meanings. #
  • TheStar Year-long exposure of Toronto skyline produces 'dreamy' image: http://t.co/gwTBBrlY via @TorontoStar #
  • Or just spend the time listlessly doing neither, torn between inaction & action wasting precious seconds in the name of indecision. #
  • 3pm on the last day of the holiday. Relax and enjoy the last throws of freedom or put off your household jobs for another couple of months? #
  • Have never before wanted (needed) two plus two to equal five as much as I do today. #
