@srushe I work with a 25 year old who couldn't recognise the music of the BeeGees or Queen…
@kathrynrushe I worry about the youth of today!
-
@srushe also really wanted to give a wrong movie title just to annoy u a little more but I refrained
@HaVoCT5 I’m glad you restrained yourself. Picking which of the pair of you to bump off would have been hard :)
-
@kathrynrushe Hope you had a nice time :)
-
@kathrynrushe You can do it. Hopefully you have already done it! She’ll be singing your praises at Christmas :)

@swmcc If there was a way of un-favouriting on Twitter that tweet would have had the pleasure :)

Sarcastic dancing to the music leaking from my colleagues headphones is probably not the correct response.

@CsillaBenn should be fixed now - very sorry for the delay!
@Pinboard In that line, I paid via Paypal on Sunday, didn’t get a confirmation either, and also can’t log in. Same account name as this.

@OpinionatedGeek @StrayTaoist I hate really slow tables. Especially when you see that another table is on hand 6!

@srushe dude we are ruling WRGPT!

Can anyone recommend a good free program for scraping data from websites? Preferably one that will automatically update itself.
@SoccerStatHunt @ScraperWiki (scraperwiki.com might be useful for the scraping.

@srushe @ManyHues Have e-mailed you a quick question about Mum. (Left my phone at work today). Can one of you reply when you have time? x
@kathrynrushe Reply sent :)

@srushe The Browns have a dog race at half time of home games?!
@kathrynrushe It is apparently one of the changes this year. I’m not convinced but I’ll go with it for a non-losing record after 6 weeks :)
-
@cricsheet I would turn to evil, but I don't think the ICC would have me.
@andrewnixon79 Badoomtish :)
-
Having great craic (not) trying to teach Siri to understand my Armagh accent & to pronounce Irish names. Siri is thick as champ on the issue
@ManyHues Now bear in mind it’s taken me years to get used to the armagh accent. And I’m not sure I’m there yet ;)
-
@srushe NFL coaches who could double as darts players… Chud, Andy Reid, Rex Ryan… possibly Greg Schiano as the panto villain
@kathrynrushe That would be an awesome pub darts team!
-
@srushe Did the coaches of the Cleveland Browns come straight from the bowling alley or have they been playing darts? #niceshirts
@kathrynrushe You do have a point about the shirts though. I could picture Chud playing darts.
-
@srushe Did the coaches of the Cleveland Browns come straight from the bowling alley or have they been playing darts? #niceshirts
@kathrynrushe I don’t care if they wear thongs if they actually win games, especially in the division :) Granted, Chud in a thong, not good.
-
@srushe compromise... Donut suit?
@ryancunning It sounds like English, but I’ve no idea what you’re talking about :)

@cricsheet Was going to compliment the ICC for finally making their streams work on iOS devices when they give us a stream that isn't live!
@andrewnixon79 I didn’t even realise they now work on iOS. This is a shambles. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised though.
-
@srushe quite right too. I joined UCU as soon as I got the post at LSE. Never had to use their legal services but good to know they're there
@paulrkeenan @ManyHues deserves the credit. She made me join way back in the mists of time :)
-
@srushe what union did you join? I used to be a Unison shop steward, believe it or not!
@paulrkeenan It was the TGWU way back when, no it’s Unite. Glad I did as it allowed me to proceed down the tribunal route.
-
@srushe It's being despatched this week - we're just going through the duplicates/weeding out those who haven't renewed as we speak.
@blzzrd Cheers. I’ll send an email tomorrow to help you de-duplicate me. The other copy I get is under a different name weirdly!

@ManyHues Why would you post that? How am I going to get an afternoons work done now?
-
@SI_DougFarrar Great to hear. (And thanks for taking the time to reply.)
@kathrynrushe @SI_DougFarrar Woohoo!
-
@andrewnixon79 Is there any chance you could say that Ireland have no chance whatsoever? It might be our only hope at this stage.
-
@andrewnixon79 The last time you mentioned an Irish team or player should reach a target Shillington was out within 5 minutes. Sssshhh!
-
@marramgrass It sounds like you’re listening to FM, rather than LW. 5 Live Extra is uninterrupted, so unless you love shipping news…
-
@srushe Toddler John Ross Ewing has amazing stamina; I've sat & picked away at a bunch of grapes and I feel sick from eating too many :/
@ManyHues You don’t have the great love of them that he did. He could win grape eating contests. I hope to see that in the next series!
-
@kathrynrushe @ManyHues It was horrible, and it ran for multiple episodes. Never watch it!
-
@ManyHues Worse than 'Up the Long Ladder' from ST:TNG?
@kathrynrushe @ManyHues There is a good bit of competition. “Fair Haven” comes to mind too
-
@srushe There’s cricket to be watched? Where can I get it?
@marramgrass Well you can watch it if you head down towards Dublin where the qualifiers are. I’m keeping an eye on the @ESPNcricinfo comms
-
Just heard that the official reason for the air cooling system not working at my workplace's new building is because it's too hot.
@andrewnixon79 Who runs your building, the ICC?
-
We are also officially submitting this version to Createspace so print version of FOA 2013 should be on Amazon in a couple days.
@fboutsiders Will there be much of a delay in FOA 2013 appearing on international Amazon sites? Or is that out of your hands?

Is it possible to book rail tickets in advance in Northern Ireland? Translink's website is confounding me.
@jonawils I’m assuming you’re not travelling to Dublin. If you are then you can book up to a month in advance.
-
Is it possible to book rail tickets in advance in Northern Ireland? Translink's website is confounding me.
@jonawils As far as I know it’s not, and Translink confounds everybody.
-
@ManyHues @srushe ...in it. It was billed as a limited edition or trial run or something. I REALLY don't see that catching on :(
@Canonisation Disturbingly @ManyHues is happy to hear this. She knew they existed but didn’t know where to get one. It’s a culchie thing!
-
@srushe I blush, I blush.
@juliangough Now, now, enough modesty, get outside and round up some chickens. I think that’s how it works.
-
Of course, if baby was to arrive tomorrow, we could tell them that all the bonfires in Norn Iron for the Twelfth are for their birthday!
@paulrkeenan My Grandad told my Mum that the flags on her birthday were for her. They were actually for United Nations Day!
-
@srushe Yes, I see what you mean. That combination is a bit too much. Interesting addition of Glenn McGrath though... hope he is good.
@kathrynrushe So far McGrath seems to be fine thankfully. And just as I’m enjoying it it’s Blofeld and Vaughan. With that I’ll head home!
-
@srushe I hope you kept listening to the cricket in spite of the commentators. (I quite like Tuffnell but Vaughan drives me mad too.)
@kathrynrushe I can manage one at a time, but when Tuffnell and Blofeld were on together to start the day I had to put it on silent!
-
@srushe ur not a man of idle threats r u :-)
@ryancunning I tried to avoid gloating :)

@srushe @Canonisation Chaps, I have Bad Film Night sorted for next week :D I'll let the anticipation build by not revealing till then ;)

Have not been following Le Tour. Must do something about that. Is Eurosport still the go-to channel?
@paulmmay If you have it, yes. Otherwise ITV4, or TG4 if you’re somewhere with it.
-
Have an idea for a Cork-based TV show about four lads driving around lost, looking for a GAA pitch. It's called Finding Nemo. #boom
@colmtobin And the sequel where they drive around looking for a tattoo parlour. Munsters Ink.
-
@srushe In which case... my work is now complete!
-
I'll volunteer the following information... I borrowed the hat but the glasses are mine!
@kathrynrushe I can’t even think of something sarcastic to say. I’m almost speechless.
-
@srushe I don't know if it's a talent, or an affliction, my ability for unintentional double entendres :( #UnwantedSuperPower
@ManyHues I’d regard it as a talent, but I’m not sure what the general population would think :)
-
@srushe I can just picture you in the middle of the couch, gas-mask on, smiling happily ;)
@ManyHues That’s going to sound really weird to someone who doesn’t know the context!
-
@srushe This is your kind of furniture :D chzb.gr/16i5M2B
@ManyHues Can I have one?!?
-
Hey, bus companies - a bus leaving too early is just as bad as it being too late! It means I missed it b/c it left before I got to the stop!
@Canonisation I can live with late buses, but buses leaving early drives me mad. No point in a timetable at all if that happens :(
-
Why not spend the day reading @TheCricketGeek's interview with @JamieUSYCA? thearmchairselector.com/2013/06/america-and-icc-neo-colonialism/

@ManyHues @Canonisation Surely we have Revolution now for all of your slash needs ;)
-
Wow, I don't even need to put on my slash goggles to see the Miles/Monroe in Revolution. The writers are not subtle ;)
@ManyHues I suspect that wasn’t the first time they’ve been at it with each others swords.
-
Wow, I don't even need to put on my slash goggles to see the Miles/Monroe in Revolution. The writers are not subtle ;)
@ManyHues It is even less subtle than it was in Merlin, which is scary.
-
Speaking of blogs, it's a big sign that I'm going to hate a blog if it uses the terms 'alpha and beta males' seriously...
@Canonisation Or “Moffatt” and “well-written”
-
Can anyone recommend a good book restorer in Northern Ireland? Or even as far south as Dublin? #bibliophile #books #tweetni #ireland
@AaronMcIntyre_ No, but my sister might know one if you’d like me to ask. She’s a bookbinder in London.
-
@srushe the time slot you had originally selected may have sold out, please check and try again as there are still tickets available
@DiscoverNI That is not the problem. There is clearly a big problem with session leakage. It’s not properly secure.
-
@darkphoenix624 thanks for letting us know, we will pass this information on to the booking team @TitanicBelfast
@DiscoverNI Your response to the fact that people are seeing others peoples details is woeful. Surely a reason to immediately stop bookings
-
@Canonisation @ManyHues I’ve just had to explain why I was giggling to my co-workers :)
-
@ManyHues @srushe thought you might find this interesting - www.criticsnotebook.com/2013/05/star-trek-into-darkness-movie-review-j-j-abrams-chris-pine-zachary-quinto-benedict-cumberbatch.html
@Canonisation @ManyHues It’s almost like the writers are barely competent hacks. I wouldn’t let Lindelof write a shopping list for me.
-
@Canonisation I expect to see this on Youtube by the end of the week ;)
-
@Canonisation @ManyHues Surely it can’t be that, she’s been looking forward to it for ages!
-
@srushe believe it or not, I've already had to sign away my rights to any related TV, film, comic book & video games adaptations!

@srushe Feeling any better? I sent you a couple of e-mails this week - ignore them. I've sorted it out. :)

@srushe that John Carter threat, though...you don't mess around! :)
@Canonisation Straight to the nuclear option, that’s my attitude!
-
I find the sound of raindrops hitting the roof/windows intensely soothing. This is bad for when I need to get up though :(
@Canonisation Get up! If you’re not up in 10 minutes I’m going to get John Carter from Lovefilm and force you to watch it again!

@ManyHues @srushe have finished S2 of Game of Thrones - just feel the need to say that I hate Theon Greyjoy!! >:(
@Canonisation @ManyHues In his defence he did save John Ross’ life! Oh wait, nevermind.
-
@Canonisation @ManyHues How can you say that? He was the villain in one film, and he wears a hat in his new film!
-
@srushe don't worry - on Amazon, the cheapest VHS copy is £12.95! I'm not paying that! :)
@Canonisation Although your saying “I’m not paying that” implies that there might be a price you would be willing to pay!
-
@srushe don't worry - on Amazon, the cheapest VHS copy is £12.95! I'm not paying that! :)
@Canonisation That’s a relief :)

@ManyHues @srushe per our conversation the other day,'The Pope Must Die' is strangely NOT available on DVD (though you can get it on VHS) :)

@Canonisation @srushe and I just saw an ad for a new Mark Strong film coming out next month, let's go and see it :)
@ManyHues @Canonisation Done, and done!
-
@srushe bbc 5 live movie podcast?
@grahamb Mayo and Kermode? I’d rather cut off my own…
-
@srushe For tech and random tangential stuff, had a trawl through the 5by5 and 70 Decibels lists?
@marramgrass I’m up to date on my various 5by5 ones, but 70 Decibels is a new one to me. I’ll pick a few for an experiment. Cheers!
-
@srushe What do you listen to?
@marramgrass Tech, sports, history, documentary, I don’t mind really. No music strangely, and no comedy apart from @TheBuglePodcast
-
And I suppose, since Mulder & Scully appeared in one episode, it takes place in the same universe as the Simpsons, oddly enough #Luther

@Canonisation I’m sure he’d love to hear about it at @RealHansZimmer!
-
@srushe wait, are you implying that Outcasts was anything other than the single greatest TV series since the medium was invented???
@Canonisation Ahh..umm..ahh…points Is that Hans Zimmer over there? runs
-
@Canonisation First Outcasts, then Merlin, now this. So overall we can’t complain ;)
-
@Canonisation @ManyHues Sometimes I feel I should defend Christopher because he’s in the right. Granted he makes it very hard.

@Canonisation @ManyHues You say what you want about Christopher, however I’ll always remember he’s the man who saved John Ross’ life #dallas

@srushe Are you still up? Dad is getting a bit giddy with excitement :)
@theyellowdoor I am still up :) I’m glad I wasn’t tempted to head to bed when the power went. And now the fumble recovery!

@srushe It's pizza o'clock! :D
@theyellowdoor Damn you! shakes fist Enjoy!
-
@srushe So you have been talking to our man in Spain... I have no pizza secrets in our family!
@theyellowdoor He was jealous. I think he wanted to know that someone else was too!
-
@srushe Hello sir! Are you staying up? I've booked tomorrow off work so I can enjoy the game. :)
@theyellowdoor So did I :D Granted I didn’t have the foresight to plan a pizza for half time. I’m not jealous, not me, no!
-
God, my Twitter feed is full of Brits who don't watch NFL but think they are being hilarious right now. Time for a cull, I think.
@theyellowdoor Mine is full of people shocked at the new GoDaddy ad. There’s a reason I won’t use them, no matter how cheap they are.
-
@srushe It's nice to know it's so precious. The last eBay one we saw went for about £50 in the end.
@blzzrd Excuse me I have to go and set up an eBay account ;)

@ryancunning @swmcc You two disturb me!
-
@srushe @Canonisation *iz flabbergasted* But I have moral objections to Abram's Trek do u have moral objections to the Hobbit film?!?
@ManyHues @Canonisation It has James Nesbitt, Martin Freeman, and Benedict Cumberbatch involved. Does that count?
-
@Canonisation I am going to thwack you with cushions (and @srushe if he pipes up on this issue) :D I declare war!!!! :P :P
@ManyHues @Canonisation I think if two of us say we should go to Trek we should. I’m told that this is how it works cough Hobbit cough
-
@srushe @ManyHues so apparently JJ Abrams is directing Star Wars VII - can I assume we're *definitely* going to see it now? :)
@Canonisation You are an evil man :)
-
@Canonisation @srushe Yeah, the article had a strange non-committal tone about the film, didn't it?!
@ManyHues @Canonisation I’d be interested to read a follow-up article looking back on the process given what we now know.
-
@Canonisation @srushe Blimey, that article is rather like the film in that it jumps all over the place lol.
@ManyHues It sort of makes sense once you realise that the style is 1 section about Pixar, 1 section about John Carter. Doesn’t help though
-
@srushe I'm waiting too at Lisburn! :(
@jenporterhall Just saw this message :( You obviously made it though :)
-
@srushe /me faints in shock that you would publicly acknowledge I have good taste in music :-O
@ManyHues I never said that, you can’t hold that against me!
-
@srushe how is that even possible? It disappeared about 25 years ago!
@theyellowdoor I know! Apparently Ken found it in a Delia book while looking for a spinach soup recipe! The world works in mysterious ways.
-
@gerrylynch good man! On a related topic, did you ever listen to Neu? I recently watched a docu on krautrock & thought they sounded v good
@paulrkeenan @Canonisation has an excellent compilation of krautrock which includes Neu
