@swmcc You’re proving a great help in this traumatic time. By the way, did I mention that I’ll be off for another week after you’re back in?
-
@johngirvin Get to it then. Don’t worry, we’ll let you know when it hits 2.10pm :)
-
@srushe Working on rescheduling for April, with more information + confirmed dates going up in the next couple weeks.
@barcampbelfast Fair enough. Look forward to hearing more :)
-
@martharotter Yep! Details in a few weeks.
@barcampbelfast Should we take it that the event in January isn’t happening?
-
@srushe it's a Christmas miracle!
@matthutchin You’re not the only one to have said that to me. Cheeky buggers the lot of you!

Star Trek III gets a lot of stick, but I think it's quite underrated. Its no Wrath Of Khan, sure, but it's still good stuff...
@Canonisation Both myself and @ManyHues agree. It’s enjoyable, and has Sarek which is always a bonus.
-
@srushe I like that although @opendatani haven't tweeted for 700+ days, they still have 125 followers
@theyellowdoor @opendatani I think all 125 of us are trying to wait them out. It’s all a matter of who’ll blink first!

@niwnews …and 2. can you provide it in some other format too, such as CSV? I suspect you generate the PDF from something similar anyway.

@srushe I wondered what sort of shenanigans we were being accused of every time I saw NI until I worked out that it was News International.
@collapsibubble Good point. That was really confusing for a while.
-
@Canonisation I’m fine with you liking it, as long as you don’t come to my work and play it :)
-
@srushe BTW I'm glad you didn't just type ICC: I would've wondered why Cricket's governing body were involved :)
@ManyHues That ICC things keeps confusing me. Just as I get used to it being the Criminal Court, I hear a cricket story.
-
@srushe I'll help you fill in the forms for the Industrial Tribunal. With those circumstances you'll walk it!
@ManyHues Glad to hear it. Come to think of it, I suspect the International Criminal Court might want to get involved too.
-

@srushe Should the reality show be about my weird & febrile brain or about Captain Picard's Actor's Studio? Hard choice, innit ;)
@ManyHues Good point. To be honest, many of your recent dreams would make fine TV. I particularly look forward to the Gaga Mysteries!
-
Dreamt Cptn Picard gave advice on staging Shakespeare play to cast of ex-Emmerdale actors - he cited from The Wire as good example of drama
@ManyHues That has the makings of a reality show. Channel 4 are probably working on it as we speak.

@Canonisation @ManyHues I get the same sort of feeling with football managers. The manager of Chelsea is younger than I am.

@ManyHues Well I suppose that’s alright then :)

*hides*@ManyHues @Canonisation Any more of that talk and I’ve dig out a dvd of Outcasts and make you both watch the whole thing!
-
@Canonisation Indeed we shall! *ominous music* I, for one, know that @srushe can't wait to see how it all resolves.
@ManyHues @Canonisation I’m making dinner!
-
Why is Monroe one of the choices for best drama, btw? Are there really people who think it might have been the best drama of the year? #NTA
@Canonisation I assume Outcasts has loads of nominations? This will allow the general public to show their appreciation for some fine work.

Jerry Goldsmith's theme for Star Trek: The Motion Picture is one of those pieces of music I NEVER get sick of...
@Canonisation It’s just a pity he never got to write “Theme for a Love Instructor”
-
@srushe you're not wrong! Are you listening to Five Live as well, or following Cricinfo?
@paulrkeenan I was following it on Cricinfo, I’ve now put Five Live on via a single headphone :)
-
Right - the hour is here. Minimum 16 overs, with #lccc needing 64 runs to win & with 8 wickets left. Warwickshire look to have only drawn
@paulrkeenan This is nerve-wracking. It has been a long wait.

After watching Nature's Miracle Babies, I want a baby panda, monkey, elephant, and lion cub. They were so adorable in the documentaries :D

In reply to: at https://twitter.com/swmcc/status/113161512012615680
@swmcc That’s why you should only tell me things in confidence. For example I’ve never told anyone about you, the donkey, and the custard.

@ManyHues Sadly none of those. Simply “road conditions”. Granted it was very wet and he is the most cautious driver I’ve ever seen.

Trott gone - Eng heading for a not-very-competitive total at this rate. No real capacity to use batting power-plays effectively #cricket
@paulrkeenan I’m constantly amazed at English ineptitude when it comes to one day matches, especially given the professionalism in Tests.
-
Finally saw 'Sunshine' - enjoyed it quite a bit, though it does fall apart a bit in final third...still would recommend, though.
@Canonisation Re: Sunshine. I enjoyed it until the “twist”, then it nose-dived horribly. Still, Mark Strong, so not a total write-off.
-
Feel a bit overwhelmed this morning by everything that I have to do this week. :( The list just keeps getting longer!

Listening to PI soundtrack. Excellent mix of dance music (Orbital, Massive Attack, David Holmes, etc) with great (though far too short)...
@Canonisation PI soundtrack? There’s a Magnum film? /me worries he’s giving Hollywood ideas
-
@ManyHues I just read the synopsis of Wikipedia...I see what you mean...:)
@Canonisation @ManyHues It was not good. Sort of like they decided to do it seriously, but then changed producers part way through.
-
Incidentally, you can't use the audio from the Commons either. Tried to do it in series 1 of Newswipe, told it was not possible.

@srushe Because I know you love New Who SO much, and wouldn't miss it for anything :)
@Canonisation My love for New Who is well known. Sadly Mr Tiddles needs looking after.
-
@srushe It's okay though - we can time it so you don't miss it! I know you don't want to miss the exciting resoloution!
@Canonisation No, no, it’s fine. I wouldn’t want you to miss dinner. I’m also doing my hair. And the cat needs to go to the vet that day.
-
@srushe Saturday August 27th, apparently - don't think a time has been confirmed yet.
@Canonisation I shall note it down carefully :)
-
On the other hand, the new Dr Who trailer is rather exciting, although my expectations remain quite low... #doctorwho
@Canonisation When is Who back on? I need to make sure I time making dinner so that I miss it :)

@srushe That's okay - I think my 1000th was about Street Hawk :)
@Canonisation Streethawk?! That does make me feel better :)
-
-
@srushe Ooooooh, you are so nasty! Harrumph!
@ManyHues I wasn’t trying to be nasty, just an added bonus! Even if Armagh get through it’s still only a 1 in 4 chance of drawing Mayo
-
@srushe Them's fighting words, boyo!
@ManyHues True :) Granted, for the match to happen Armagh need to beat Tyrone and Roscommon, and then draw Mayo in the quarters. Not likely.
-
Well done Mayo! I have some very happy relatives today #GAA Now, as long as they don't play Armagh, familial harmony will be ensured #nerves
@ManyHues If Armagh and Mayo end up playing against each other then your lot are going down! ;)
-
@RickTheJackal Don’t give Jackson ideas on Paul Walker. If he’ll cast Freeman and Nesbitt who knows to what level he’ll sink.
-
@srushe Adapating a book faithfully? Shocking! Where do you get these notions? :)
@Canonisation I get these crazy ideas on occasion. Surely they could use the novelty of it as a selling point!
-
@srushe Less Cruise and Spielberg would have helped for a start :)
@Canonisation They could simply have made a film of the book. Granted it contains no “sweet” children which would confuse Senor Spielbergo.

Am I the only person who thinks the Spielberg War of the Worlds film would've been better if it had used music from the Jeff Wayne version?

So is the Tour De France being covered on any major UK channels? Or do I have to watch the Sidi Cycling Shoes ad every 5 mins on Eurosport?
@Hicksdesign One of ITV 2, 3, or 4 is showing it live. Obviously the ads haven’t been as effective on me as they could have been

@srushe For the crime of hogging our broadband, I hereby sentence you *dons black cap* to a weekend without tea. May god have mercy on you
@ManyHues I figured you’d have the good sense to put my laptop to sleep. My mistake ;)
-
@Canonisation @srushe I enjoyed our wee RP group - no power gamers & GMs with a sense of fun. I learned more there than with 'serious' group
@ManyHues @Canonisation I don’t see the point if it’s not fun. I liked the way our groups would go off on complete tangents.

@Canonisation I've been the learner who was killed every game to 'teach' her how to play. Interminably rolling new characters is not fun
@ManyHues Much better to play in a group where a cricket ball counts as weapon :)

To clarify, I'm not hammering Olympic football as entertainment. But I don't know why it's an Olympic sport. Same with Tennis.
@iainmacintosh Agree on football and tennis. If it’s not the pinnacle of a sport then I don’t think it should be in.

@srushe @ManyHues @dietcokedamo True - after all, according to the article, U2 and Coldplay are headlining! Ha ha...
@Canonisation @ManyHues @dietcokedamo If I had to go and see one of those 3 it’s the Wombles hands down :)
-
@ManyHues @srushe @dietcokedamo Don't know why Eavis thinks booking them was a mistake - I bet they'll be brilliant! :)

-
@srushe They'd always mention there being loads of them, but somehow we never got to see these alleged armies :)
@Canonisation True, though I think that was better than using dodgy CGI to create thousands of them.
-
In the old series, there were sometimes 3 or 4 years between Dalek stories - once even a 5-year gap!
@Canonisation And we were lucky to have more than 4 Daleks. We just had to use our imaginations for larger numbers. People nowadays!
-
@srushe I've done that with podcasts...have found myself thinking 'They've reused a lot of jokes this week' more than once :)
@Canonisation I’m glad I’m not the only one :)
-
@srushe I'll take the opinion of Xavi and Zidane though.
@JacobSteinberg Me too. I was just being contrary about the contrariness :) I’m a City fan and think Scholes was excellent.
-
Funny how some people just want to be contrary about Scholes - only have to listen to players to know how good he was.
@JacobSteinberg Players aren’t necessarily right though. They picked Gareth Bale as player of the year after all! General point spot on tho.
-
@georgedockrell Good knock. 4 6s I think. Well controlled for the most part with few streaky shots. Well deserved.

There seems to be blue cloud, could we get 100 overs in today? That would be a victory in itself

@srushe Did you read the list of players' names? 'Shaquille O'Neill'?! :)
@theyellowdoor I missed that. Now that I look at the list of players, it does sort of stick out a mile!

@TheCalcioItalia Well at least you seem to feel guilt :)
-
Ruud Van Nistelrooy: "Real Madrid weren't the only ones who tried for me in Jan. AC Milan also tried to get me to replace Pippo Inzaghi."
@TheCalcioItalia Out of interest, why the double posting? Why not just tweet once with the fb hashtag and be done?
-
@srushe Oh no, there's speechifying - if you always pick the good dialogue options, your character launches into speeches quite regularly :)
@Canonisation So you’re sort of a Dick Tate/Dr Franklin hybrid then :)

Not only am I saving galaxy from evil from the dawn of time,I also take time out to solve my crew's family issues :) #gaming #MassEffect2
@Canonisation You’re like the Dick Tate of Mass Effect. Just need to work on the speechifying.

@Canonisation Do you have any idea why @ManyHues might be curled up in a ball crying, and cursing your name? Have you done something?
-
@srushe That's the most apt description of me that I've ever seen :D
@ManyHues I’m glad you approve :)
-
@Canonisation yes, Denmark wasn't the worst. Can't remember Romania. We'll have a spirited discussion on Sat, I'm sure :)
@ManyHues @Canonisation I think this might be a good time for us all to step away from the flashing red button :)
-
@Canonisation @ManyHues Now where did I put that copy of Highlander: The Source…

@ManyHues @srushe I've heard he likes something called 'The Prisoner' - I think it was something starring Jim Caviezel and Gandalf :)

Which is your favourite recommendation from the ICC Cricket Committee? http://bit.ly/lCnX7i #cricket
@Cricketicc My favourite is to have a qualifying phase for the next World Cup. One you’ve somehow managed to “miss” in your summary.

Some good news going to be coming out of the cricket committee meeting. Stay tuned @cricketireland @CricketEurope
@green23 Don’t tease us like that! How am I expected to get any work done now that you’ve done that ;)

@ManyHues That sounds....kind of awesome actually... :)
@ManyHues I’m with @Canonisation on this. West Side Story with Klingons would be entertaining :)

@swmcc Pity you don’t have the week off. Well at least the day is moving quickly!
-
@srushe Yeah - you don't notice it at the time, but once you think about it, it really doesn't make any sense :)
@Canonisation @ManyHues theorises that it was a distress buoy fired out by the ship containing Turlough’s Dad which somehow found Earth.
-
@srushe I may be overthinking it slightly :)
@Canonisation Don’t think about it, although I must admit that that’s a fair point. Now I’ll have to think about it.
-
Just thinking back to the weekend, and have suddenly realized the plot to Planet Of Fire doesn't make any sense.
@Canonisation Of course it makes sense. This coming from a man who watches the new Doctor Who as well ;)
-
@ManyHues @srushe In fact, if Priest turns out not to have all of the above, I'll be disappointed :)
@Canonisation @ManyHues With regards to Priest I’m expecting something like Monsignor Martinez. Anything else will be a let down.

@Canonisation Ooooh, I shouldn't be encouraging you but that was funny :D

I'm seeing 'Thor' tonight; found out it's in 3D. Why? What's the supposed added value for the viewer? Think I need those 2D glasses @srushe
@ManyHues I told you last night, when I booked, that it’s 3D. I even asked if that was alright. It’s almost like you don’t listen to me ;)
-
Amidst all the press conference stuff yesterday, one huge piece of genuinely important news got largely missed: Iniesta is out
@sidlowe Now that is important news with regards to the game. I wish someone had mentioned that before.
-
@srushe It was Earth all along... #spoilers
@Canonisation Damn you! :)
-
@srushe Green & White Army !
@theGAWA Indeed.
-
@srushe are they not running? Or running a holiday schedule?
@Canonisation Running a holiday schedule sadly. Seems to involve cancelling most buses and expecting you to use PDFs to work things out :(
-
@Canonisation It is if you’re Translink :(
-
@ManyHues You and Steve could be the new Richard Briers/Felicity Kendall! Which would make me Paul Eddington or Penelope Keith...
@Canonisation I think you get the better of that deal :)
-
@srushe We'll certainly consider that possibility to help introduce it. Thanks
@duponline It wouldn’t “help introduce it”. It would cause it to be done, in little time, for little cost. Don’t invent a poorer wheel!
-
@srushe providing bursaries for coaching awards level 1
@dawnpurvis Thanks for the info. Much appreciated :)
-
@srushe the 98% that's not 'elite'. Schools/small clubs.
@dawnpurvis I meant what level are they training the 500 coaches too? Different levels, different costs etc. Suppose I’ll pester the IFA :)
-
Pat Jennings outlines sports development McDonald's style - 500 new coaches trained to develop grassroots football.
@dawnpurvis When you say “develop grassroots football” what do you/they mean? Grassroots Introductory Award, or IFA Level 1?

BBC News - Classic Commodore 64 lives again - http://bbc.in/ghbMPV (fao @srushe)
@theyellowdoor So I saw earlier. Nice idea :) I must check to see if the one in storage still works fine; it did last time I checked :)

Even with a pretty long list of things I was looking for, the library still had nothing that I wanted :( Annoying...

@theyellowdoor I’m not taking cheek from someone who was working on a business plan on her day off ;)
-
@srushe The fact that you didn't know those cricket matches were happening in May is a sign of the apocalypse ;)
@ManyHues You could be right. Fancy working your magic on some cricket lunches :)
-
@srushe Probably not but I appreciate the sentiment. :)
@theyellowdoor Well then, for what it’s worth, set a deadline for that today, and then go and do something nice. I recommend ice-cream.

Hey, there's been a category added for 'Outcasts' at fanfiction.net! My story is no longer the only one out there! #Outcasts

@srushe @Canonisation I resent being told by Mr Richards that most watchers weren't clever enough to understand Outcasts.
@ManyHues @Canonisation He’s like a teen writing poems. We don’t “understand” so we’re wrong. One day he may see he just wrote crap poetry
-
@srushe Thanks to the interview, I now understand that the only reason I didn't like it was because I am a 'heartless, unimaginative twat'
@Canonisation I’m glad I could help clear that up for you. Apparently we’re all ‘heartless, unimaginative twats’ :)
-
Also, he gets EVEN more bitter in answering all of the comments below it - never a good idea #Outcasts
@Canonisation You just don’t understand! You just want bug-eyed aliens etc etc etc…

Of course, these are the 2 that think having loud discussions w/the doors and windows open WHILE IN SCHOOL counts as subtlety #WaterlooRoad

-
@srushe @ManyHues True :) Even with all the exposition in last night's episode, I still don't know what Fleur's deal was...
@Canonisation @ManyHues I think she was an experiment in improving human intelligence. Failed sadly, but the hair benefits may prove useful!
-
@ManyHues How'd you like that ending, though? By which I mean the complete lack of one :)
@Canonisation @ManyHues I think that the 2 line summaries for each character that we had at the start still tell us all we know :( #outcasts

@srushe I'm only flicking between it and Superman III, honest! I'm not REALLY watching it! #guiltylook

Timeline is on Film4. Some very odd casting going on there - David Thewlis as American billionaire? Billy Connolly as Paul Walker's dad?
@Canonisation Don’t do it. Don’t watch Timeline!!!

Lots of people saying Vidic - yep, fair enough. Would also put Vincent Kompany among 'honorary mentions', but no stand-out team/individual
@DTguardian Tevez is getting the headlines, however I’d say that David Silva is the heartbeat of the team. Vastly better when he plays.

Wow. Made the nut flush. French guy had a straight flush. All done and dusted in three levels; good for the soul indeed.
@VictoriaCoren Could be worse. I’ve had one straight flush in my poker life. Lost to someone who had a better one. Gutted.

@paulrkeenan I forgot about Newell. I’m not sure he was sacked for that, but it did contribute to his demise.

#NIR - 0600 Larne - Lisburn will not call at Adelaide, Balmoral, Finaghy, Dunmurry, Derriaghy, Lambeg & Hilden. Due to a train fault.
I’m puzzled as to the train fault in the @Translink_NI message I re-tweeted. I do hope it wasn’t a lack of brakes that caused the problem,

Only two bids received by FIFA for 2015 Women's World Cup: Canada and... Zimbabwe. Surely they wouldn't... would they?

According to Roy Greenslade 'The PCC will no longer deal with complaints from members of the public about the Daily/Sunday Express and Star'

Re-installed my computer on Sunday. Have just noticed that I don't have iPhoto. Tried to restore it using Time Machine but it won't work. :(
@theyellowdoor As far as I remember iPhoto doesn’t come with Snow Leopard. You’ll need to install if from an iLife DVD.
