Finally saw The King's Speech last night. Thoroughly worth all the acclaim it has had.
Door-to-door bible bashers: if you're trying to convince me there's a God, don't use the Garden of Eden story as your main argument.
Sad to be missing out on a London reunion with ex colleagues tonight, but happy to be making progress with rebooting the @globaldev team.
This has ruined my Friday. Sickening. http://goo.gl/Kfgu
Subverting the system: scoffing a chocolate muffin with the queen's head on. Thanks @timblair #muffinanarchy
Git, Heroku, Ruby, PostgreSQL, Sinatra, Active Record... getting back to some hacking and learning.
Masterstroke from Sky: replace Andy Gray with Sam Allardyce in the commentary box so that we're left begging for the sexist Scot to return.

Endured 2.5 hours of meandering, inaccessible gibberish watching the latest Harry Potter film at the cinema. She loved it.
Watching Fiona, an unflappable Eddie Stobart female driver, reversing an articulated lorry down an icy slip road on Five. Balls and beauty.
Sent a wink to my other half, Laura, one year ago today. Online dating works.
Has there ever been a worse advert than that Confused.com singing cartoon woman nonsense? What do you sell? 18m strong? Eh?
I'm hoping that Santa reads @hicksdesign's hands-on Apple TV 2 review and decides I've been a good boy this year - http://bit.ly/eb4acz
Eyes recovering well after fighting through the snow to Harley Street for laser surgery today. Yes @cronkshaw you can smell the burning...
Genuinely pleased Arsenal have drawn Barcelona in the Champions League. They're the best team in the world right now so nothing to lose.

Off to the O2 tonight to see Suede, 14 years after I first saw them

Reading was heaving today but chuffed that all my offline Christmas shopping is done.

Lunch in Marylebone with my housemates from 10 years ago in Auckland. We're all older but very much the same.
Giving this recipe a go. Milk and white wine in a bolognese? 4 hours' cooking time? Better be good: http://bit.ly/e462Qs
In Economics lecture at the Emirates. Looking around for Wenger.
