Wondering how many conflicts Justin Webb of @BBCr4today has been responsible for escalating with his overly aggressive interviewing style…

Running a bit late for my first visit to #leanliv – not very entrepreneurial I know!

RT @greenduck10: COBY! and YWAN! Come on footballs and score a goals! #footballs

Just wondering who @t1ingram is backing for the national. The guy has some considerable form in picking winners, you know!!!

Well that was crap. Sweepstake horse in top 2 and looking strong all the way round, then faded into obscurity at the end. Other bets fell.

When I heard @BBCRoryCJ was learning to code for @BBCr4today, I was impressed. But geek in me just sniggered cos it was HTML/JS.I’m horrible

It finally happened. A moment’s silence for the price increase of a Stagecoach DayRider on April 1st. We’re the fools now. #talesfromthe82

Self driving car, Stanford AI and now augmented reality glasses. Is Sebastian Thrun the greatest scientist of our age? http://t.co/XbzNuRUf

Off to @Aldi_StoresUK to look at their Thursday Specials – a comprehensive selection of running gear!

First time down Castle Street for yonks. What a difference the new pavements make!

Never any microwaves around when you need them, then two come along at once! @doesliverpool http://t.co/SA4mv7ju

The Apprentice. My bet is we’re gonna see the Ana-Lucia lookalike go this week.

Holy shit, she’s highly strung. That’s what being stuck on an island after a plane crash does for you I guess.

He’s a sly one that Sugar. Sucker for a low cut top.

This Liverpool Mayor thing. Don’t know much about it, but am I right in thinking the person to decide we want it is also the lead candidate?

Oh John Coyne’s running. Well as a St Michael’s ward resident, there’s no question then. Also, this: http://t.co/YYzgf0xk

Wish I could get behind the angry lefty pundits on @bbcr4today, but hating tories cos they have a dining room and kitchen is just dumb

Aww, Earl Scrubbs died. Lege. Might give my banjo another go later as a tribute. Or, given that I’m terrible, perhaps not playing is better?

RT @denofgeek: Join us in celebrating Quantum Leap… http://t.co/1nbMqHkl

Learning about VMware this morning. Googled for ‘ballooning’. Got an entirely different set of search results about erectile dysfunction!

Any local peeps at a loose end this evening, we’re gonna resurrect our Marantos music quiz team, feel free to join us

RT @ImLeslieChow: I almost had a threesome last night. I just needed 2 more people.

Why would you call your kid Malachi? I mean, that technically counts as child abuse, no?

Fear I’m about to do a Hugh Grant and say ‘bugger’ a lot when I realise I’ve underestimated the time it’ll take to get to today’s wedding.

Excellent wedding of @t1ingram and @Clare_Powell (shouldn’t she be changing that?). Had to go to bed early with a temperature though!

Wind chill factor is minus 8 billion today. #truestory

So the epic "Reeds in the Wind" on R4 gets weirder and weirder – the young guy’s in love with his aunt after they had a moment together?!?!

Anyone spotted the Bert & Ernie (or should I say EARnie) lookalikes on the apprentice yet?

Ok if Michael on The Apprentice isn’t Ernie, he’s one of those puppets with flappy ears whose heads pop off in Labyrinth

Quote from Lord Sugar: "It is completely unacceptable to enter my boardroom with ears over half the height of your body. You’re Fired."

Boris Johnson defies definition. Most peeps hoping to be elected as Mayor leave out the phrase "loony left" from monologue #madasaspoon

Love or loathe his politics, Boris will get re-elected by a mile, simply cos the other candidates have almost zero statesmanship, even Ken!

Woke up at 10 to 5 this morning, couldn’t get back to sleep. I know I’ve got a slightly earlier start than usual, but that was ridiculous.

Tweetdeck >= 1.0 has 25% less columns than < 1.0. It’s actually one of the few things in life that genuinely makes me f’in furious!

Merseytravel Hatton Garden HQ closing tomorrow?!?! #mymindisblown

It should come as no surprise to anyone, but @pealo86 is a bad influence

Lot of football talk going on this evening. Very much out of my depth. Nodding sagely is a reasonable tactic. http://t.co/UoIgAMqB

Just delivered 10 years of academia about management and organisational infrastructures to a friend in 25 minutes. He’s currently sobbing.

People who wear sportswear outside of the pursuit of sports should be killed, urgently and without prejudice. Just fucking die, please.

Spotted a couple of those old TV style iMacs down at the car boot sale this morning. Perfect for a #makernight project but no storage space!

Lark Lane Market: a cacophony of characters. Liv Cheese Co, Stetson-wearing Cyclist Farmer, Grumpy EggMan & my fave: the Gentle French Lady!

In my slightly warped mind I see all these market stall holders as manifestations of characters from ‘The Folk from the Faraway Tree’

Haha ever hungry for a quick sale RT @amcewen: well, if you had workshop membership at @DoESLiverpool that would come with a storage box…

RT @teknoteacher: Audioboo: BBC Click presenter Spencer Kelly describes impact BBC Micro had on him @beeb30 http://t.co/cYajgUng http …

Hellboy II is on ITV2 this evening, co-starring Calista Flockhart, who reprises her role as Ally McBeal, and the assassin from Mass Effect 2

Don’t watch much TV, so only just seen that new Colman’s advert. Genius, utter genius. http://t.co/6uOjV4X4 Cook you Villains!

Think I’ve probably fixed the final serious problem with work’s computer systems today. Dawn of a new age? Well, I never make promises!

Gonna boycott Greggs cos the owner’s a damn lier and awful person: pasties are obviously hot by default, not just in the process of cooling!

Have been accumulating an assortment of aches, pains & sniffles over the past 10 days. Also insomnia, and according to radio 4 tonight, ADHD

RT @cupcake_rachel: Mind. Blown. http://t.co/0bWnIriq

In Superdrug, trying to sneak subtle glances at people’s legs in order to determine whether my ankles are medium or large #thisisridiculous

Pretty god damn cross about something this avo, so gonna post links of drawings that express this succinctly: http://t.co/PvSuUQPw

This one is especially good for its surprise factor and jugular targeting http://t.co/9Gi01fcp

Finally, and most appropriately after a bad day: http://t.co/l2MCIG65

Working from home on my day off. It’s better than working from work cos you get things done, but also far worse cos you don’t get paid.

3 weeks of training: check. Caffeine detox: check. Embarrassing Lycra pants: check. I’m ready to run a half marathon tomorrow!!!

RT @Alex_Tookey: I wont be celebrating paddys day, why cause im not fucking Irish

Just been advised to eat trifle before the half marathon. Wasn’t expecting that!

Ready as I’ll ever be for the #liverpoolhalf! Fighting fit, full of pasta, breakfast trifle and Rennies. Come at me bro!

That was a tough #liverpoolhalf I just finished a 13.1 mi run with Nike+ GPS. #nikeplus #makeitcount

Time was about 2.05 or 2.06, not especially happy with that but it’ll do under the circumstances

RT @DailyPostNews: Thousands take to streets for Liverpool half-marathon: LIVERPOOL’S 19th annual half marathon saw more than 6,00… h …

Just found the backlit version of my laptop’s keyboard on eBay, an absolute steal at £12. Living the upgrade dream! Might buy stickers next.

RT @lydiajo: Check out "SWIG – For all web industry workers in Liverpool and beyond" http://t.co/ouGM78ck via @eventbrite

My half marathon training is going very well, but I’m really feeling the pain every morning!

So….just turned half five, and I’ve accidentally set a report running that takes a couple of hours instead of scheduling it. #awwcrap

So what the hell is going on with music venues in Liverpool these days? Every time I go some place, I guarantee it’ll be shut within a week!

Off to make things at #makerday! I has 2 bags o tech!

Excellent #makerday today, made a PlayStation Eye camera attached to a pc id and track a PS Move controller to cause a ripple effect!

RT @alaindebotton: The challenge for a human now is to be more interesting to another than his or her smartphone.

RT @alaindebotton: True love is a lack of desire to check one’s smartphone in another’s presence.

I know some people say they’ve had bad customer service from Three, but in my experience they’ve been consistently excellent!

This lunchtime I ran 4 laps of Sefton Park! Think that just about puts me on target for the half marathon next weekend! #couchtohalfin22days

#gec2012 week is starting well with a lively round table discussion with female entrepreneurs on #r4womanshour

Just remembered a dream I had the other night. Alvin Hall gave me a tour of Jabba the Hutt’s lair, whilst Boba Fett served nibbles. Very odd

Has that Homeland got every awesome actor ever in it or something? Yes, even Mandy Patinkin -Dr Geoffrey Geiger himself! Oh and Clare Danes!

#r4today John Humphries: "And the weather: dull." Evan Davies: "That it?" JH: "Yep." The nation performs a collective double-take.

Not going to make it to #leanliverpool #gec2012 fringe event this evening as I’m absolutely exhausted and have a full diary. Another time!

Just received a Cooler Master Notepal U2 fan-assisted laptop cooler in the post. Design and build quality is second to none. #mynewfavething

LoveFilm sent me Treme series 1 in the post! ‘The Wire’ it ain’t, but it does bring something new to TV: compulsory living room dancing!

Making my way over to #jellyliv this avo, beautiful day though, shame that Leaf don’t have an outdoor area

Wished you knew more about Computing? Do something about it: http://t.co/iwahLswa – local study group available

Off for my final run before I make my decision: do I do the half marathon in a couple of weeks?

So #thearchers has got so bitchy recently that for once Ruth isn’t the most annoying character in it – Tom’s in the lead by a nose!

Just got home after a long, but really great day in the infinitely varied world of computing. More like that please!!!

Grouplove are in the house at Static tonight. And very upbeat they are too! (@ Static) http://t.co/D4y8uOnl

I just unlocked the "Wino" badge on @foursquare! Cheers! http://t.co/0pNOE9Vd

So Grouplove were really fantastic tonight, but I just wish it didn’t sound so dodgy to talk about them 🙁

I just ousted Leo A. as the mayor of Lark Lane Market on @foursquare! http://t.co/UZz5Fzl6

Just been for a pretty long, pacey run with my new running buddy. Way, way, way too much too soon. Think I’m gonna die.

Hello Twitter, how’ve you been? Off work this week and taking time out whilst tinkering away at a couple of little projects, has been great!

Of the two @Raspberry_Pi suppliers, the Premier Farnell website has ground to a halt, and RS Components don’t actually have a link to buy…

For my non techie followers, essential reading about Raspberry Pi,which I intend to bore you with from now till forever http://t.co/YE8SHqgC

Actually this might be an even better article on Raspberry Pi for the uninitiated http://t.co/gRpptXq1

RT @alaindebotton: A good part of mental health is the capacity to respond to humiliation without (too many) tears.

I’m so god damn fickle sometimes. I used to hate NewLauren (off of Eastenders) but she’s grown on me: now I hate NewLucy instead.

Is it just my imagination or has the UI of Google Search gone really messed up in the past few days?

Ahh, Firefox Nightly builds #thatllteachme

My desk is rammed full of tech today. Some people say it’s exemplary of an untidy mind, I say I’ve just got more important things to do.

Whatever crap they’ve got on radio 4 at the moment is pushing the limits of what they call the R4 6.30 comedy slot. More laughs in a morgue.

My electricity’s gone off!!! I hear alarums in the distance!!! Has the end of the world finally arrived?!?!

TBH for the end of the world, there’s a surprisingly good mobile phone signal

Gonna boycott another Subway. This one’s due to rudeness and stupid questions. #boycottsubway

New Tweetbot for iPad app’s just joined my list of essential Twitter clients, along with the iPhone version and Tweetdeck 0.38.2 on PC.

Off over to #Threshold12. Was decent last year…

#threshold12 acoustic and soul stages both of a very high quality this afternoon!

Some absolutely fantastic bands & singers at #threshold12 today, and excellent coffee from @ElevatorStudios and @boldstcoffee. Back later.

Oh good, what we’ll call the ‘Pillbox’ stage is running a bit behind so I’ve not missed Tibi and her Cello at #threshold12

Lots of people going :-O here at #threshold12 http://t.co/6WvaQQlE http://t.co/bCDCtUav http://t.co/7pfafTDx http://t.co/pxhdbhmy

Ok that’ll probably do for all day gigging for today. Excellent event, needs to be better promoted, though understandable given the CUC shut

RT @7streets: #threshold12 officially great today. Too many highlights to mention – it’s an ambitious grassroots festival we should all …

Interesting. My work are sponsoring GEC. How to lever this for maximum awesomeness….
