@whoisdanw Oh maybe you're right. I was never into the comics. But I do cosplay Dan Cruikshank at the BBC Four conventions.

I went to see Colin Stetson this evening. Amazing to see (and hear, loouud). Almost inhuman. youtube.com/watch?v=k9YJM2…

@whoisdanw Is that the one where they unite to defeat evil Jonathan Meades' plan to turn everything into concrete?

@whoisdanw It's a Summer Crossover Event! Are the crane operators part of Crossrail canon now?

@tobybarnes Where do I send my invoice?

@tobybarnes To the Patent Office!

@tobybarnes There’s so much unmonetised space in that Now Trending block! They should also put a banner on Bob Marley’s forehead.

Now *thats* an ugly web page…

@blogjam I’m sure. And now I’m listening to the support I think that’s what I’ll be doing :)

Because after all these years I still have no idea what time to arrive at gigs. Or houseparty-type things, come to that.

Songkick emailed me the set times and a link to listen to the support band for a gig. Worth all the money (er, no money) the service costs!

@mildlydiverting Buy one of these in case he comes home wearing it: etsy.com/uk/listing/191…

@phil_wright @pkqk @tomstuart And a system of penalty points for doing things wrong which can lead to a total ban.

@smagdali Three. At least one too many.

@jaggeree @russelldavies @engineeringdept @benterrett So if those flowers weren’t useful to bees, it wouldn’t look amazing?

@benterrett Yes I’m being very picky, but sub-140 character slogans of more complex issues cause my natural de Botton response to kick in :)

@benterrett So a meadow in the middle of nowhere without adequate signage wouldn’t look amazing?

@benterrett The amazing English meadow.

@benterrett Dear Ben, I’m sure some things can be amazing without being useful. flickr.com/photos/benterr… Yours, Mr Picky.

@paul_regan I can’t reply to your DM and not sure if you got my text… but I’m around this afternoon, so let me know when you’re near!

@jamesweiner There are fancy tea houses in SF but as (I think) @antimega said, there are fewer variables to obsess over with tea than coffee
