Nothing says Christmas quite like backing up my computer while watching old NFL games.
@kathrynrushe Agreed. I was wrapping more presents while watching Hard Knocks from 3 seasons ago.

I’ve got ‘Tumse Milke Dil Ka’ playing on repeat in my head today. But not as bad as the week my brain got stuck on ‘Dard-e-Disco’ 🙀
@ManyHues Now that’s back in my head again shakes fist

@srushe I'm sure you'd see the funny side of me somehow getting a packet of jake shake wrapped up in xmas wrapping paper and under your tree

Is there a modern sports equivalent to Leicester winning the Premier League if it somehow happens? I can't think of one.
@AndyGlockner Greece winning Euro 2004.

@brrygrdn what's the name of the OS X app used for proxying? Has a delightful jug as an icon?

Just found Apple Music's Bollywood section😍 Lots of playlists! This Apple Music curation thing might be worth staying for after free trial
@ManyHues Uh-oh!

I’m reading Gary Gibson’s ‘Angel Stations’ and keep picturing the Kasper aliens as Wombles or Ewoks which reduces their mystique somewhat😐
@ManyHues Don’t forget my theory that Wombles may be man-eating! That might help ;)
-
@srushe Sorry Stephen having a few issues with the social Media dashboard at the minute did you get my response to your earlier tweet?^CD
@nirailways I did thanks. Might want to tell the website people the train was listed as cancelled, and then delayed, for a while.
-
@srushe I’m in the Crown if that helps. At least it’s warm here
@tyndyll Surprisingly the train ended up leaving on time. Thanks for the suggestion though 👍🏼
-
@marramgrass I’m hoping the day never comes where Cadbury stop making chocolate down south here. Much nicer even than UK version.
-
OMFG I have to watch the Browns again tonight. Better hit the liquor store this afternoon.
@BarryMcBride It’s on overnight our time, so I’ll wake up early to watch the condensed version of the match on Gamepass. Then go to work.
-
@tyndyll One of your friends. At least someone you know. It will make the conversation easier. (troll)
-
@srushe I thought you just didn't care.... *sniff*
@tyndyll I didn’t say I care, I just feel I should fulfil my social obligations ;)
-
Last day @ShopKeep Great bunch of lads and lasses.
@tyndyll Argh, meant to say “Good luck” yesterday while I was in. :(

When a TE accomplishes something that invokes the great Ozzie Newsome, you know he's been pretty good. #demigod
@brentsobleski We should have put him in charge when Farmer was suspended!
-
Peter Andre - it's Peter Andre. What else is there to say? At least he hasn't been going on about his kids non-stop. #Strictly
@Canonisation He has kids? Never heard that. You’d think he’d mention them every once in a while.
-
@srushe Smiling Mike Pettine scares me.
@kathrynrushe It is disturbing. Sadly I don’t expect to see that too many more times this season. It was nice last night though.

CIPD say “Forget the Great British Bake Off, cake is the curse of the office”. It’d be a brave manager who tried to ban birthday buns in NI😳
@ManyHues Good to see the CIPD are focussing on the big issues affecting business and workers today.

The Browns couldn't have suspended operations in 1943, @les carpenter, they didn't exist until 1946... Sorry. gu.com/p/4dv9f?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Tweet
@gerrylynch @les Yep, Cleveland suspended operations in 1943, not the Browns. The Rams were in the city at that point.
-
@srushe Hi, was going through your "missing" games. Didn't get this -- Why don't you pick that data up from cricinfo or something?
@adityeah If Cricinfo has a missing game, I’ve tried and found it has errors. One day I’ll add to the site the reason each match is missing.
-
@srushe Turns out I needn’t worry - neither is compatible with my phone. *stupid phone - I hates it*
@ManyHues I know a campaign for a new phone when I see one ;)
-
@srushe Well, felt it might be overkill and didn’t want to cause conflicts with both running. But might give it a try…
@ManyHues I had both running earlier and had no trouble at all.
-
Eeep! When it comes to installing iOS ad blockers, I’m torn between buying Crystal or buying Peace. Anyone got a preference?
@ManyHues Why not both?
-
@srushe You are going to have to find something else to bug me about when we next talk on FaceTime! #boom #renewthatpassport
@kathrynrushe Wow, straight in there with the retaliation :) Good work!

Anyone have any iPad IDE recommendations (ideally Python, go, Java support)? Git integration a bonus, Dropbox or SCP would do in a pinch
@tyndyll As @stuhacking mentioned Textastic is decent. I use it for basic web dev work along with Dropbox.

“There is no season 6 of Community” is my new “There is no season 9 of Scrubs”, which replaced “There is only one Matrix movie”
@tyndyll Which replaced “The second Highlander film is Highlander 3”

@srushe which train are you getting?
@tyndyll Portadown train.
-
@ManyHues it is a shame I bear with a heavy heart every time I think to myself "I quite fancy watching some Earth: Final Conflict" 😳
@Canonisation @ManyHues Sliders I would watch again, however nothing will compel me to watch Earth: Final Conflict again. Nothing!
-
@joannedunlop Congratulations!!! As a fellow “student who went back to Uni again in later life” I’ve found it challenging and v rewarding 👍
@ManyHues @joannedunlop I’ve found that supplying chocolate to the student seems to help things work. I advise lots of chocolate. Lots.

@srushe Hi Stephen, here's a link to all the tickets: www.ticketmaster.ie/Cricket-Ireland-tickets/artist/40832?tm_link=artist_artistvenue_module
@Irelandcricket Thanks very much :)

I’ve been surprisingly restrained this year and only voted for four songs in #Eurovision 😳
@ManyHues Don’t lie, it was 5!

Of course, now I’m wondering if German-speakers hear a Kerry tinge to Fassbender’s accent when he speaks German. Yup, I am that boring 😁
@ManyHues I wonder if people in Kerry watch his films and wonder whether he’ll ever lose the German accent :)

@swmcc Happy Birthday! I’ll buy you dessert at lunch during the week in place of a cake!

@Canonisation But if this is a robot surely it allowed you to come to harm and did nothing about it! Somethings not right here.

This is a very good Friday… variety.com/2015/tv/news/muppet-show-reboot-abc-bill-prady-1201466006/
@kathrynrushe I was very worried it was an April Fools joke I’d missed. I was very happy when I checked the date :)

Putting a line in my @ullconf talk about minorities that it’s ok to persecute such as people who have the dock on the right of the screen :)
@bazscott I’m taking that up with HR on Monday. Stop oppressing me!!!

@Canonisation @ManyHues I would subscribe to that podcast so quickly!

I bought a Nora Roberts novel for a friend from Amazon USA in 2001 & Amazon’s algorithms have NEVER let me forget it 😖
@ManyHues I have only 1 thing to say. Joe Dolan!

Hmm, using twitter native mac app, and getting rate limit exceeded. I don't think I'm doing anything special (posted from website).
@rem I’ve been having the same since late last night.

FINALLY got TuneIn app to properly cast to Chromecast. Needed to disable FSecure VPN app to establish connection & then re-enable #GeekFace
@ManyHues Well done sysadmin!
-
@srushe That is crazy! Are you watching NFL Network as well? :)
@kathrynrushe No, just following on Twitter. It’s probably more entertaining on there, good choice!
-
@srushe Just saw that. :) Your Browns have a lot of money to spend… I'm expecting more excitement than Brian Hartline!
@kathrynrushe And now Bradford and Foles news. This could be an interesting few hours. Cleveland will probably end up with a tight end!
-
Somewhere between me leaving the train station and getting home, Jimmy Graham moved across the country. #NFL #WTF
@kathrynrushe I’ll wait for you to get to the Haloti Ngata news ;)
-
CJ Spiller has had one 1,000 yard season in 5 years in the NFL, yet I just saw a stat graphic comparing him to Jim Brown and Barry Sanders.
@PeterDellaPenna That’s totally nonsense. They haven’t even combined for a single 1,000 yard season in the last 15 years!
-
@Canonisation I was a huge fan of The Man From Atlantis when I was a kid. Frankly, I was scifi mad and watched anything vaguely SF on telly😁
@ManyHues @Canonisation It hasn’t really changed to be honest. I’m still being made to watch Extant every Friday night!
-
.@srushe blasts it from the windows of his house😁 Scientists create music that appeals to cats: theatln.tc/1AEAkaR(via @TheAtlantic)
@ManyHues That’s my weekend sorted :)
-
@kathrynrushe Fantastic! Very much looking forward to having you here :)
-
@srushe Ná habair é! I'm glad you liked it 😊 (despite what I'm guessing is the total lack of any guitars 😝)
@ManyHues Yes, you would have been disappointed!
-
@srushe This may interest you: m.soundcloud.com/ukgoldfilm
@ManyHues I’ve been really enjoying the soundtrack you pointed me too. Thank you :)
-
How did I fail to know about a new Neal Asher novel?!😧 *buys it & awaits @srushe teasing me about adding to the 'Asher Wing' of our house*😁
@ManyHues Of course there’s a new Asher novel. It’s been at least 3 months since you last bought one. There must be a new one by now!
-
@srushe What...but...how...this has blown my mind 😳
@Canonisation I thought of not telling you, but was worried you’d walk past it while in town, and I hate to think of your response!
-
Last RT - I mean, I love Tayto as much as the next person, but this seems a BIT much...
@Canonisation I hate to break it to you, but there is a crisp sandwich shop in Belfast. It’s about 5 minutes from me now. I’ve not been.
-
@srushe that makes sense, wonder why they do that
@grib I think they prefer people to listen to older episodes on the website.
-
@srushe past episodes are always in the feed, I think it’s something to do with the episode number, iTunes is confused
@grib Not an iTunes problem. The feed on the website only has the most recent episode listed now.
-
@ThisAmerLife since the rerun episode dropped all the other episodes seem to have disappeared from the iTunes feed
@grib Probably because you can only download the most recent episode. Doesn’t make much sense to leave them in the feed.
-
@srushe @Canonisation I'll rest in advance but if anyone is under the weather we'll postpone? Precise details to be arranged?
@ManyHues @Canonisation Yep, sounds good to me. Also, if we make it there I’ll make sure you use the comfy chairs :)
-
@Canonisation @srushe We could try a short, exploratory visit tomorrow afternoon (health & energy levels permitting)?
@ManyHues @Canonisation Works for me :)
-
@srushe @Translink_NI @thegrieve Same noises have been made for years, I'll be impressed when we get *actual* data, not promises.
@Bolster I’m still sceptical, but that’s the best answer I’ve ever received over many years of asking via different routes.
-
@srushe Hi, we will have the info available to all through opendata / LPS portal - hope to confirm date soon
@Translink_NI A much better response than I expected. I eagerly look forward to the details.
-
@ainemagu 2 9A's on the route at present City bound Aine-1 is at City Hospital now & the other is going through Dunmurry Village
@Translink_NI For you to know that there must presumably must be GPS on all of the buses. Any chance that data could be made available?
-
@Canonisation I meant to tell you, there's a new book shop near your part of town called @BelfastBooks & they have a SciFi section 👍
@ManyHues @Canonisation Road trip??!
-
Sainsbury's UK call centres are in NI = so nice for me & care rep to not have to do fake English accents to be understood by each other 😄
@ManyHues That’s all well and good. Where were they when I was pulling splinters out of you with tweezers? That’s what I want to know ;)
-
Wow. Starbucks app lists 32 stores within a mile of my current location.
Thirty-two.

-
@ManyHues @srushe yeah, it's better than it should be...probably McG's best film (not that's saying much 😈)
@Canonisation @ManyHues His best film? Obviously you’re forgetting how much we all enjoyed This is War. Admittedly for all the wrong reasons
-
@Canonisation @srushe You both probably know about this TMWRNJ podcast but in case you don’t….bit.ly/1AreIU5😀
@ManyHues I didn’t, but I’ve now downloaded it. Thanks :)
-
Why are my browsers frequently telling me Adobe Flash plugins are out of date - it feels like I'm forever downloading Flash updates *grumpy*
@ManyHues I’ve found that the solution is just to uninstall flash. I’ve not missed it :)
-
Anyone recommend good podcast apps? I've been using @Instacast but it has stopped downloading episodes yet again and I'm ready for a change
@kathrynrushe Overcast is my app of choice at the mo. Might be worth a go.
-
@kathrynrushe @ManyHues is currently blowing raspberries in response!
-
@kathrynrushe You are on the side of all that is right and proper!
-
@srushe ...a scene with John Alderton out of Please Sir?
@Canonisation Well you make a compelling argument :)
-
I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that sometimes u have the urge to watch #Zardoz and it's hard 2 resist
@Canonisation I’ve never even seen Zardoz. I’ve always been a bit scared too.
-
@Canonisation You’re back!!!! 😃
-
@Irelandcricket Thanks for the update. Appreciate it.

@srushe I'll be rewatching games on the Game Pass over the next few months. I can recommend rewatching RedZone too. #sadbuttrue
@kathrynrushe I might have to do that. I’ve been meaning to watch a good number of the Football Life episodes.
-
Long shot - I don’t suppose anyone has a dot matrix printer (the ones with the perforated paper) lying around they don’t want? #tweetni
@tyndyll If you get your hands on one I’ll be so jealous. I used to love those. Must check ebay to see can I find one!

Finally calmed down after the 'joys' of dealing with Microsoft tech support; gonna take @srushe's advice and have a strong hot chocolate :)
@ManyHues I especially approve of this plan if it will calm you down before I get home :P

(2/2) Apophis’ motherships = safety hazard: lit with bowls of flaming oil. He must have great inertial dampening/fire suppression systems
@ManyHues I’m surprised that hasn’t been raised with HR. Much like I’d love to see the correspondence received about Riker by Starfleet HR.

@srushe We miss the OBR radio program too. If there's a local station interested in a great free Browns radio call-in show, give us a call.
@BarryMcBride That’s as good an answer as I could reasonably hope for. Good luck with your move back to @ScoutMedia.
-
@DrChrisRaymond I'll be real busy, but should be able to devote more time to @TheOBR again, yes. Plan on tweeting more, too :-)
@BarryMcBride I take it that hoping for a return of the OBR Radio Program would be a bit too much? Still miss it.

Decided to try watching Stargate: Universe again; 3rd time lucky maybe. Love SG-1 & SG:A but I’ve never taken to SG:U apart from soundtrack😏
@ManyHues Let me be very clear, if you try to make me watch it again I will consider that grounds for divorce!
-
@tyndyll Technically every bus timetable is wrong, as Translink pay no attention to them anyway.
