As it was before El Clasico the real debate regarding the best player in the world is between Messi and Xavi. Breathtaking the pair of them.

Unlike many I’m delighted Panorama are reporting on FIFA corruption, however old, involving current voters. Bigger issue than World Cup vote

El Clasico tonight. Might need to distract @ManyHues so that I can get away with watching it. Or just disappear with Sky on the iPhone.

I think he was great in this one too RT @ManyHues: I know I’m a bit weird, but I think my favourite Leslie Nielsen film is Forbidden Planet.

People doing driving tests told to ring ahead due to ice today. In my 1st test started snowing as I pulled into the centre. Horrible start.

Ashes in 40 minutes! Can I time falling asleep so that I catch the first few overs on TMS? The next number of days could be tricky.

@blickstudios Next time simply email about Creative Camp rather than subscribing me to a mailing list I didn’t ask to join. Very poor form.

Well now I know that my next printer won’t be an Epson one. That has narrowed the field down slightly.

It was lovely to have my sister @kathryn_rushe over for a couple of days. Birmingham, I’m expecting you to take good care of her.

I can thoroughly recommend @cakesbyjames to anyone around Belfast, and further afield, who is looking for a deliciously tasty cake. Yum.

Latest book by @paul_tomkins arrived from Amazon today. Will be reading it after finishing most recent from @jonawils. No pressure then!

Finally something has gone right with this day. Maybe things are starting to look up?

To further prove my point, the next scheduled @Translink_NI for me also turned up and left early. They really need some competition.

Once again the bus from @Translink_NI has turned up and left before the time on the timetable. Why even bother with timetables? Ridiculous.

Thanks Twitter peeps for M1 update. Closed between Junctions 1 and 2. Traffic slowish but moving. Would be good for BBC website to take note

Hope Hackers and Hacks Day Belfast is going well today. Hopefully I’ll be able to make the next one #hhhbel

How did I not know @bucksixtyfive is playing in Belfast next week until 5 minutes ago?

For any of my American followers, if there are any, I wholeheartedly recommend Four Lions which is out in your cinemas today. Wonderful film

#wrgpt is actually starting. Here’s hoping that my all-in in the practice round has got that out of my system.
