@harikunzru TV docs these days seem full of shots of the presenter talking to camera from exotic and unnecessary locations.

@harikunzru Er, unless you're Stephen Fry, who travelled round the world for a 2011 series on the history of language. bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01…

@joe_malia Maybe it's some kind of reverse Occupy?

There are increasing numbers of packs of lost-looking men in suits roaming Shoreditch of an evening these days.

@stml KEEPING VICTORIA SAFE

@D_Nye_Griffiths @designswarm @zzgavin @makielab Come on over!

@alruii Yes, I know, I was agreeing!

@alruii True. Would also have been nicer to have, er, Pret instead of McDonald’s and Irn Bru instead of Coke. Or something.

@hex Thanks, glad you liked it!

@alruii BMW donated the cars. I believe the drivers are also all volunteers.

@MareseMcGrane They’re all cute until they start taking over the world.

@phl Don’t you buy your robot overlord expensive gifts?

@antimega aldebaran-robotics.com/en/ I was just curious, and they're very cute. But LOADS of money.

I take that back. I won the chance to spend £2.9K on a robot.

I have successfully passed a test that means I’m qualified to spend £2.5K on a robot. I dread to think what failing the test would mean.

@tomcoates Big up happiness on the birthday tip thing yo etc!

Don't worry, everyone. The courts say that G4S and the Metropolitan police haven't murdered anyone. ENJOY THE OLYMPICS.
