@srushe Christmas magic for the Cleveland Browns! Win a game and still be the worst team in football. Bring on that No. 1 pick!
@kathrynrushe It’s a Christmas miracle! I figured we’d get a win somewhere to mess the draft up, but a 49ers win was not expected 😀
Follow up thought. We went from not being able to fly to 2000mph at 85000 feet in 60 years
@tyndyll We went from not being able to fly to flying to the moon in under 70!
@srushe Sorry Stephen Metro are unable to contact the driver so i'm not sure what's happened there, all I can do is apologise^CD
@Translink_NI I gave up and headed for the train instead. Sounds like that was a good decision
@srushe Stephen what bus are you waiting on & what direction are you travelling?^CD
@Translink_NI The 9A from Donegal Square East
@octonion The Browns are breaking my heart too :(

@swmcc @paddycarey True, but his views on the Enterprise theme are causing me to re-consider that opinion!
@ManyHues @srushe And then afterwards, you, he and JJ Watt can grab a pizza from Papa John (who I find a bit scary for some reason).
@kathrynrushe @ManyHues Then you can all search for Matthew McConaughey. I’m worried about him. Haven’t seen him jump into a pool in 3 weeks
Being in the room while @srushe watches NFL GamePass TV means I’m developing a strong urge to buy a pickup truck and drive it to Wendys 😏😄
@ManyHues Also developing a hankering for lemonade?
Anybody seeing @awscloud SQS problems in us-east-1, affecting other services too?
@maxmanders @awscloud Yes, seeing the occasional error, both via the API and on the website.
@mauricerkelly When I installed Vim 8 on my laptop a few weeks ago it totally hosed my perl install. Had to jump through hoops to fix it :(
Couldn't make it to #VIMFP this year so I'm at the original Venetian instead. Disappointed by the lack of slot mach… twitter.com/i/web/status/787022170526478340
@kathrynrushe Very unconvincing sky there. They’ve really gone downhill on ceiling painting in Italy since Michelangelo.
Giving ST: Enterprise S1-3 a re-watch. I'd forgotten how racist & sexist Archer and Trip are to T'Pol in S1. S4 still the 'best' of the lot.
@ManyHues Season 4 is very much the tallest mountain in the Netherlands of Entreprise.

(Okay, I'm keeping one light dimmed, in case I get scared)
@mauricerkelly Boo!
The problem with having a week off is that sometimes I fall asleep on the couch and wake up 3 hours later barely able to remember my name.
@kathrynrushe I struggle to see how this is a bad thing.
@srushe @ManyHues I know. Very random. BTW I do hope @ManyHues has adopted the phrase ‘7-9 bullshit’ and is using it in everyday situations…
@kathrynrushe I just went in to the living room, after doing the dishes, to find @ManyHues watching episode 1 of Hard Knocks from last year!
@srushe It’s near the end. Case Keenum and wife are out for a walk near the Hollywood sign. Look behind them…
@kathrynrushe Just checked. Unexpected. @ManyHues was very surprised too.
@srushe Have you watched the last episode of Hard Knocks yet? There is a really random ‘celeb’ sighting near the end…
@kathrynrushe We watched it last night, and I’ve obviously missed something. /me goes to check
@swmcc @paddycarey @declan_traynor @srushe @brrygrdn Where can I get one of these? My sticker collection requires it.
@marramgrass You can get your own @swmcc at www.redbubble.com/people/deeden/works/22643047-swm?asc=u&p=stickerAnd, now that I’ve found out how to change prices, you get it at cost.

@swmcc @paddycarey @declan_traynor @brrygrdn I was going to say “nothing to do with me guv”, however I suppose technically I am the source!

@swmcc If I’d known that was all it took I’d have gotten a mechanical keyboard years ago ;)

@swmcc Click, clack, click, clack.
I did it! It took me feckin ages but I finally watched all of Sons of Anarchy. *needs quiet time to recover*
@ManyHues More importantly, I managed to avoid having to watch all of Sons of Anarchy!
@ManyHues it's even better for learning if you're taken hostage/set on fire/stabbed! These bold techniques will soon be used across the UK 😄
@Canonisation @ManyHues I’m annoyed I didn’t suggest Holby as a model we should work from to the US HR person who’s in our office this week.
I’ve reached to point in my life where I’m seriously considering spending silly money on a pair of noise cancelling headphones.
@kathrynrushe Best ones people in work have for noise-cancelling are Bose. When they turn it on it sounds like the world has stopped. 2/2
I’ve reached to point in my life where I’m seriously considering spending silly money on a pair of noise cancelling headphones.
@kathrynrushe A number of people in work have some. I got a pair of Sony ones. Wireless is great, noise cancelling not so much. 1/2

@deanobarn No need to leave the hotel room now. You can just lie back and enjoy room service?

@swmcc You bought a lawnmower? I can only assume that the old one finally fell apart like a clown car!
@kathrynrushe hug
To every EU national in the UK who feels unwelcome today. I want you here. I am grateful for you. I am sorry. #EUref
@hannahkaty I don’t know you, but thanks. That was nice to see this morning
@marramgrass 😁 Rodney McKay gives SGA that wee bit extra for me. Once SG-1 loses O’Neill it doesn’t work as well, I feel.

@swmcc Me too 👍🏻😁 My musing has caused a genuine interest 🙀
@srushe That’s what it always used to be but suddenly Alt+3 is giving me £ and Shift+3 is giving me #
@kathrynrushe Have you accidentally changed your region to the US in System Preferences?
Did the hash symbol move on Mac keyboards or have I done something silly? It’s swapped places with the £ sign
@kathrynrushe Alt+3 is your friend
@srushe I’m watching an old @NFLRedZone that features a game between powerhouse QBs Brandon Weedon and Charlie Batch…
@kathrynrushe Surely there’s something better you could be doing? Watching paint dry? The dishes? Smashing your hand in a door?
Orphan Black S2 & S3 DVDs at a low price? And me with gift vouchers? I couldn't possibly comment 😈😁
@ManyHues If it makes you feel any better I just spend all of my vouchers in one go, bar a single penny.
@srushe They probably don’t even know who lives at 29 Acacia Road
@tyndyll Or 52 Festive Road
@kathrynrushe The theory from @ManyHues is that he was recreating the Shirley Bassey boot sketch from Morecambe and Wise.
@kathrynrushe Were you not sitting there thinking, “what this needs is some really dodgy rap”?
I'm tempted to demand that we all watch 2 hrs of Anime or Indian soaps as recompense for having to put up with this Rugby on the telly 😈😈
@ManyHues Do I have to call in the credit I’ve built up from watching Indian soaps for the last year? 😝
@srushe @sammillerbp Sorry. We've asked about the difference in release dates. Publisher is investigating.
@BenLindbergh No need to apologise. I should have noticed earlier. I’ll just enjoy it next month instead. Just avoid giving any spoilers ;)

@swmcc We’ve been having silverside roast recently too. Very nice :)
I would definitely listen to an album of songs by Vic Fontaine from DS9. Nice songs, good voice #GeekTweet
@ManyHues You might enjoy itun.es/gb/s5Jzr
Whoever does English subtitles for Star's Hindi serials often uses cool & slightly obscure English words. It's fascinating & enlightening😀🤓
@ManyHues That person should definitely be coronated!
I'm proof that idle hands get up to mischief 😈 After reading blog posts, I cut layers into my own hair. Went well, can see me doing it again
@ManyHues /me adds “hide the scissors” to morning checklist
Watching 'Siya ke Ram' and the king of Ayodhya's palace has a sulking chamber. Why are these not a thing?! I want a sulking chamber 😈
@ManyHues If you promise to stay there while you sulk I’ll call the builder tomorrow 😈
@srushe You are vicious!!! 😳
@ManyHues You can paint yourself blue all you want, I’m in this to win!
@srushe Don't force me to break out the Foster & Allen and Big Tom. I'll go down fighting, hi!
@ManyHues /me heads out to buy “Now that’s What I call Twee manic pixie dream girl versions of songs you may have heard on adverts recently”
I think @srushe might want to move out, seeing as I've found the Muse playlists on Apple Music AND I got Bluetooth speakers for Xmas 😈
@ManyHues I will just point out that bluetooth speakers will play Jazz just as well as they’ll play Muse.
@mauricerkelly You with the man-flu as well? We should just quarantine the whole office.
@Canonisation Speaking of shunted TV programmes, are we still waiting for the Ben Richards novel he promised to continue Outcasts?
And they were doing it before guys got hurt. Rotating guys in and out during games, even series by series. twitter.com/SI_PeterKing/status/689840657540763649
@MitchSchwartz72 You tell Joe Thomas he’s being rotated out for a few plays, I’ll get the popcorn ;)
@NFL Did Manning just break the record for most career wins by a QB?
@kathrynrushe @NFL Not according to @TheFootballDB www.footballdb.com/stats/qb-records.html?type=&alltime=1Still 2 wins to break the record.
Those songs it's better than? Another Way to Die, Die Another Day, Tomorrow Never Dies, GoldenEye, License to Kill, All Time High...
@Canonisation I misread and thought you were listing good Bond songs. I was having serious doubts about you!
#OscarsSoWhite it's just started snowing. (Not a joke - it's just started snowing in Belfast) 😳
@Canonisation It must be moving south then. /me prepares the bunker before it gets to us.

@swmcc Good to see that there’s already some paper on the floor too. They know you well ;)
@srushe I don’t know how the Browns did it. Congrats on the new head coach hire!
@kathrynrushe I’m also quite excited by DePodesta joining. Could be interesting. Worth trying different things after so many failures.
@srushe I don’t know how the Browns did it. Congrats on the new head coach hire!
@kathrynrushe I know! I knew the interviews were happening, but I didn’t think we had any real chance of getting him. Pleasantly surprised!
