@ManyHues In Siri’s defence, I sometimes struggle to understand your broad Armagh accent ;)
-
@sainsburys No, it wouldn’t let us pick a delivery slot before Saturday, which is of no use. Also, your response has been terribly amateur.
-
@ManyHues If anyone is getting danger money for that experience I’m the first in line ;)
-
@tyndyll Definitely a good sign :)
-
@tyndyll Much better, thanks. Back in to work yesterday. Yourself?
-
@tyndyll I just pray that’s not a euphemism.
-
@tyndyll I can only assume their reaction is one of sheer joy. I can’t imagine what else it could be.
-
@tyndyll That’s almost exactly what the doctor said to me yesterday. Was simultaneously reassuring and scary.
-
@ManyHues I’m only interested if it’s a Commode 64! …Is this thing on? Hello??
-
@tyndyll There was a plan for that but we couldn’t decide what to call the course.
-
@kathrynrushe As long as Atlanta would have given Hoyer one for his generous interceptions, and Pettine one for his mysterious timeouts!
-
@kathrynrushe Red Zone came good for the Falcons field goal and then a game winning drive! This season is very weird.
-
@kathrynrushe Surprisingly not. Must have got it out of their system earlier in the year
-
@kathrynrushe Well, watching as much as @NFLGamePass will bother to show me. Looks like a classic Browns loss.
-
@kathrynrushe Grrrrrr
-
@BelfastBooks If you have lots of books, especially science fiction, @ManyHues will forgive almost anything :)
-
@ManyHues Yep, not fun at all. I’m glad I’m not there now.
-
@swmcc Well it’s improvement from simply pushing scripts named ‘fuck’ etc. to the repo :)
-
@planetmoney I’m disappointed you didn’t call the latest podcast episode Moo Detective. An opportunity missed.
-
@kathrynrushe @StudioBookWorks I’m definitely following now. This could be a car crash ;)
-
@bazscott Given your comment about minimalist mail clients, maybe a terminal-based client isn’t for you!
-
@bazscott There’s always mutt :)
-
@ManyHues Alright, I give in. We’ll take a dander up to @BelfastBooks when it opens.
-
@BelfastBooks @ManyHues I suppose I’d better get the hammer and nails ready then. There’ll be no stopping here coming now!
-
@ManyHues @BelfastBooks Even if you do, say no. I’ll only have to built another bookshelf if she visits!
-
@mauricerkelly @brutwt I, on the other hand, am still traumatised after being surprised by his mug ;)
-
@ManyHues Is there some sort of subtle hint in that sentence?
-
@kathrynrushe @ManyHues Not if you’re just in the door after a trans-atlanticflight!
-
@lachlanhardy Company I work for is looking for good people in NYC. Feel free to check out shopkeep.com/careers Tell them I sent you :)
-
@gerrylynch Glad it worked out. I knew that bookmark would come in useful to someone at some point :)
-
@gerrylynch It might be worth seeing if split.traintimes.org.ukcan suggest a cheaper split route.
-
@swmcc You have changed so much in recent years. You used to be nothing but stupid plot arcs and superficial characters!
-
@ManyHues Did that not already happen on Enterprise? I assumed it had. Granted my memories of Enterprise are, thankfully, vague.
-
@tyndyll The timestamp on each comment is a link you could use, no?
-
@ManyHues If it helps I can wear a blue t-shirt and pretend to run an Apple Store at home? Then you can collect it off me ;)
-
@kathrynrushe Have a great time :)
-
@swmcc I see what you did there.
-
@niall_adams They’re sniffing around you? Are you particularly pungent today?
-
@ManyHues You forget my great love of the Prisoner ;)
-
@swmcc @jenporterhall There is also photographic evidence somewhere to show that it’s not true :)
-
@tyndyll Parliamentary Copyright. You can ask for permission, but it’s not just open for use.
-
@bradshawcd @kathrynrushe I’m surprised, I was waiting for us to mess that up. 1 game from the top of the division. I’ll take that :)
-
@annetteIRL I loved it with two kittens, so when the third turned up :D
-
@andrewnixon79 @DMP_Dunfermline Don’t think that’s been forgotten! In a meeting you claimed, how likely is that!
-
@kathrynrushe They did look very ropey in the 2nd half. I wouldn’t fancy them against some of the better teams.
-
@kathrynrushe I have. Almost disowned them at half-time, but they redeemed themselves. Makes a nice change to see us improve after the half!
-
@ManyHues Misleading titles is an all too common occurrence for Horizon in recent years. And don’t get me started on using presenters, grrrr
-
@hjames Get a doctors cert and you can do that. It counts as sick days instead.
-
@LuvKittensDaily And with that tweet you’ve lost me. Idiots.
-
@tyndyll I reckon that calls for a celebratory 27p beer.
-
@bradshawcd Definitely. I wouldn’t want to start him that way, far more chance of disaster than a good outcome in those games.
-
@bradshawcd As for JFF, at times he looks awful, then at other times he looks quite good. Week 5 could be interesting :)
-
@bradshawcd I was happy with the defense until the 3rd pre-season game. If they play near that standard it will be a long brutal season.
-
@bradshawcd Hey, we have Austin and Burleson, what can possibly go wrong. sob
-
@kathrynrushe Good so far, though I’ve only used it to watch games. Chromecast to put it on the TV is nice. Hard Knocks is on my list :)
-
@kathrynrushe hug
-
@MiriamKerbache He’ll never be anything other than Cactoid Jim to me
-
@kathrynrushe Good choice :)
-
@ManyHues Most of late manage to somehow go downhill after a poor first season. Revolution, Stargate: Universe etc.
-
@xz I ask because my union were great and sorted a solicitor who then did most of the work with my work confined to providing records.
-
@xz I’ve taken the steps to take a former employer to an industrial tribunal. He finally caved the week before the hearing. You in a union?
-
@kathrynrushe I did make it back. Still jet-lagged :( I’m a fan of what I have heard. I’ll give you a buzz at the weekend if it suits :)
-
@kathrynrushe You lucky, lucky bugger, I an so jealous!
-
@ManyHues That’s a weird choice to have made. Maybe someone was a fan?
-
@texhewson Yes, I’d be happy to work with others. As for doing all the graft, I enjoy working on the project so it’s an enjoyable pastime :)
-
@texhewson Worked my way through SABR101x from @sabermetrics101 recently, so I’ll be playing with R and some analysis in the next while.
-
@texhewson Cheers :) Right now I’m not doing any analysis, just expanding the data. Planning on some stuff but time is limited at the mo
-
@ManyHues Just you wait until either @Canonisation or myself rules the world. First day that’s becoming a crime, first day!
-
@ManyHues This from the women who can’t even put the Wicker films in the correct order! Pah!
-
@ManyHues @gerrylynch How can you say that? Defoe and leeches in the same scenes, and the longest drawn out crash scene in film history, 5*
-
@ManyHues @gerrylynch It’s no Speed 2 though!
-
-
@MiriamKerbache When I get home, hugging my wife first, then straight tell the kettle how I’ve missed it.
-
@annetteIRL Weirdly every meeting I’ve had in new work has been productive and to the point. It’s disconcerting and slightly scary.
-
@ManyHues Thanks for that. I’ll have a read later :)
-
@kathrynrushe I’ll definitely add that to the list.
-
@kathrynrushe Thanks :) Safely ensconced now.
-
@benlyt Granted, I’m not sure I’d trust that as the most reliable source :)
-
@benlyt Could have sworn that the 1990 WC sticker album had article that said it shouldn’t have counted as it bounced away from the goal.
-
@tyndyll I’ve heard the stories ;)
-
@ManyHues Bad design, such bad design.
-
@ManyHues You have made me very happy :D
-
@annetteIRL I’d forgotten I told you about the group :) As for the rest, \me hides
-
@annetteIRL @wwcbelfast Lucky them, and lucky you :)
-
@ManyHues You’re still not getting one!
-
@ManyHues I like Shatner in his episodes, but the other two are fantastic.
-
@ManyHues Some very good episodes there. You can’t go wrong with a Columbo featuring either McGoohan or Cassidy.
-
@ManyHues Well played Sir, well played.
-
@grahamb Yes, with Ed Tudor-Pole. I wonder could I set some cameras to watch this. It could be entertaining ;)
-
@StatHunting If Egypt had equalised against England in the final group game all teams would have finished level on pts/GD and goals.
-
@paulrkeenan As long as she stays away from flying you’re alright.
-
@swmcc In his defence, the Kershaw biography is excellent.
-
-
-
@HaVoCT5 He’s a bad everything! I’ve checked for the “No comms” options with every game. I’m so happy it’s working on this one :)
-
@andrewnixon79 Probably too late now, but good luck.
-
@swmcc All of my statements are full of sarcasm :)
-
@swmcc It’s nice to see you making a breakthrough after all these years ;)
-
@swmcc No. it’s the new ln -s in your head.
-
@ManyHues @mePadraigReidy The Connacht championship is really becoming more cosmopolitan with these new additions along with New York.
-
@NIElectricity Cheers.
-
@OpinionatedGeek Nobody should watch season 2 of Seaquest. Nothing good can come of it.
-
@dietcokedamo The others tomorrow.
-
@dietcokedamo They’re split into two days. MT @ElectionNI Balmoral, Black Mountain, Castle, Court, Lisnasharragh DEAs will be counted today.
-
@swmcc I’d say I turned you into the programmer you are today, but I’m not sure I want that on my conscience ;)
-
@swmcc I’d have failed that at review in the olden days. 7 whole lines of duplicate code in add and edit. What’s that about? :)
-
@swmcc Cheers :)
-
@paulrkeenan Originally a very bad play on Imre Varadi’s name. In the late 80s you’d see thousands at a game strangely, among other things.
-
@paulrkeenan Inflatable bananas have a long treasured history at City.
-
@kathrynrushe I never thought I’d look back on the years of Jedward as our “good” Eurovision period in this century.
-
@ManyHues Why would you do this to us? Why? /me goes to watch
-
@annetteIRL As long as you made it. I’d hate to have to ask for a refund ;)
-
@annetteIRL “injury”
-
@kathrynrushe Woohoo!!!
-
@annetteIRL Your buns were a good idea, as they reminded me that I’d forgotten to actually sponsor you :)
-
@swmcc Not what you’re thinking! The other thing.
-
@annetteIRL I told you you’d get it in time :) As for the criminal look, that’s not the fault of the passport!
-
@kathrynrushe You’re very kind :)
-
@kathrynrushe I never thought to mention it! Lots of cricket data various people use. @bradshawcd started it by lending Moneyball to Dad!
-
@annetteIRL Don’t blame me if you don’t like it!
-
@andrewnixon79 You’re way ahead of me on the flags :)
-
@andrewnixon79 I assume Afghan and Dutch plays still don’t have flags as well?
-
@andrewnixon79 Yet Boyd Rankin had the England flag on his ranking entries before he’d even played a game for them.
-
@ryancunning In my defence, you weren’t actually in the building! I’ll see you on Tuesday anyway :)
-
@the_endpaper Yay, congrats :)
-
@annetteIRL I performed a cull earlier and you managed to survive, so you’re doing something right. Or I have a low entertainment threshold!
-
@annetteIRL @swmcc Sometimes I wonder why I bother. I feel kind of blue now.
-
@swmcc I’m almost disappointed that that was only seen by people who follow both myself and @annetteIRL
-
@annetteIRL It is legal. Jazz was finally decriminalised in the 70s thanks to a House of Lords bill from Count Basie and Duke Ellington.
-
@DundalkCC I know some Dundalk scorebooks were around a few years back. I’ll ask my Dad if he has any idea where they are now.
-
@DundalkCC In the 1990s the club did play some non-friendlies. A few matches in the Fingal Cup, including a memorable win over Knockbrack.
-
@swmcc Next time we’ll play when you’re not so busy. That way you can really experience the beating ;)
-
@annetteIRL @swmcc I might see you both on Tuesday, assuming you’re going to @BelfastRuby :)
-
@annetteIRL @swmcc I am in no way jealous, and I in no way miss both of you. Honest.
-
@swmcc She does fit the usual pattern for you :)
-
@swmcc “You come at the king, you best not miss”
-
@swmcc So you did. As per our current arrangement I showed no mercy :)
-
@swmcc Fighting words :)
-
@swmcc At least you’re not losing at chess to one of them :)
-
@kathrynrushe Well we do have at least a week before the combine. Have to do something of interest before then ;)
-
@grahamb Well I may have mentioned that that existed too :)
-
@swmcc 20 minutes and it’s already too late for all of the obvious jokes. I’m disappointed. Surely you have someone to give you a hand?
-
@swmcc There’s still a whole load of going left for you before you even reach the border of right :)
-
@swmcc You’ve come round to not just liking a film if it has Beckinsale in leather, so there’s still the chance on this too ;)
-
@ManyHues Did I hear something nice?
-
@annetteIRL Watched a few of the Shield but never got into it enough to keep going. You could join @ryancunning and watch Farscape ;)
-
@annetteIRL I have 5 seasons of the Wire just sitting on the shelf :)
-
@annetteIRL I thought it dived off a cliff eventually. I was only watching the last series to see how they finished it.
-
The more who do this the fewer strange looks I get for using mutt. RT @oisin: At last! I’ve set up mutt for reading gmail. So. much. better.
-
@swmcc Just one?
-
@OpinionatedGeek I can’t see anything much happening to change that until decent provision is made for cycling in NI.
-
@OpinionatedGeek Even if it does I suspect many cyclists would prefer to take the risk on that as opposed to cycling on many of our roads.
-
@swmcc I look forward to it :)
-
@swmcc Honestly, I’m intrigued by your new venture :)
-
@swmcc I find your ideas interesting and wish to subscribe to your newsletter :)
-
@annettedotpro Annoying. Just wait until the day you see it pulling off from the stop while you’re still heading down the road in good time!
-
@annettedotpro How much earlier than the timetable time were you there? For some stops I play very safe as they drive on if there early.
-
@Translink_NI Screens not working, it happens. Not actually having timetables in the bus station, that’s awful customer service.
-
Ditto RT @frabcus: I think the geek thing I do that most freaks people out is use mutt (a command line program) to send and receive email.
-
@Translink_NI The mere fact you have to send me a link sort of proves my point. Also your site is atrocious and best avoided at all times.
-
@swmcc @annettedotpro Good to see things are as they should be :)
