Enjoying a deserved pint poured by my favourite barmaid @lilja after my Monday Meeting Marathon.

My MacBook Air prefers Safari to Firefox. I know this because its fans don't go bonkers as they do when using the CPU hungry 'Fox.
Guessing that Twitter changed replies to reduce the number of records they need to write with each new tweet and so cope with scary growth.
Tonight: Chinese takeaway and The Apprentice on the sofa. Simple pleasures.
Apprentice task is Margate rebrand yet neither team are using Chas & Dave's song. Missed opportunity there.
I had a paper cut from a £20 note this morning. It hurt. If I was a superstitious man I'd take it as some sort of ominous money warning.
@cronkshaw Your first day's re-education back at Lilly: http://bit.ly/qxCxe
Recruiters, why do you keep asking me to connect on LinkedIn? I know your game - you just want to leech my contacts and annoy them too.
Morning everyone http://bit.ly/yLq7g
Malouda's hair = iced gem (via @gunnerblog)
Can't bring myself to feel sorry for Chelsea, but there were 3 or 4 pens not given there. Great drama for the neutral.
Settling down to the footy with Dominos' Football Special 2-4-1 on its way. Clever promo for lazy types like me.
Couple has bonk by Windsor Castle, possibly the least romantic/erotic setting in the world, and ends up in the papers: http://bit.ly/QZtRo
Thought from last night's football. Jonny Evans is a dead ringer for Seth MacFarlane, Family Guy creator.
I'm at Internet World, the conference for suit wearers who get excited about "enterprise CMS solutions" and other nonsense.
Nevertheless, some decent chats about sending email on a large scale with some enthusiastic providers. Off to Reading Hexagon to see Doves.
Doves were superb tonight in Reading. An immense live band. Can't believe that's the first time I've seen them. Lumps in throat throughout.
@mr_mcd I've never seen you and Jimi Goodwin of Doves in the same room. Are you hiding a stunning secret gift and double life?
Champagne, seafood and a hot tub. I'm at the lovely Crab in Chieveley with @lilja. Might stay here I think.
Attention marketing/biz people: when you post a new entry on your blog you are not "writing a blog". It's like nails down a blackboard.
@drewm You put your left leg in, your left leg out, in, out, shake it all about... #songswithinstructions
While the cat's away the mice will... do all his chores and settle down for a quiet rogan josh in front of the telly.
On the day the government offers £2K incentive for scrappage of old cars, my mechanic hands me £350 bill for work on my 10 year old Polo.
How not to rebrand: Protx is now SagePay but all of the Protx payment gateway URLs we use have now broken overnight.
The rugby in the Twickenham sun was lovely this afternoon but the stupid football ruined things. Should've just gone straight home.
Suffering Friday lady tunes here in the @wld office
In Recruitment mode... Interviewing two good-sounding Rails developers this afternoon. More later this week too.
Already grumpy from being poorly, I'm unimpressed with having Lady Sovereign interrupt me on Spotify. Go away and leave me with Doves.
9:30 and the server monitoring screen is green. Fingers crossed it stays that way...
My sweepstake horse was second in the #grandnational. Lazy. Ready for the glue factory.
The @wld dev team are now settling in to our big new office. I'm filling in as patching monkey.
I got Comply or Die in our #grandnational sweepstake. Pleased with that and rather appropriate given my mood today.
#flightcontrol 91. Damn those big fast planes...
Watching a grown man land pretend planes on his phone during his lunch break
Booked two #readingfestival tickets for the Sunday. Radiohead, Bloc Party, Vampire Weekend and more.
I'm rubbish and I know it. I've upset a good friend by not being in touch for a few months.
Listening to two workmen proper shouting at each other in our office roof. There's going to be fisticuffs soon.
Delighted to welcome @taryneast to the @wld dev team today. She's our team's first Rails developer - and first woman too :)
Stewart Lee is my hero. Very happy he's back on the telly
Proud owner of the lovely Typographic Desk Reference, hot off the press http://is.gd/a5kH #typodeskref
I'm watching all of you very carefully today... Beware the Ides of March!
Dusting off the Wii for the first time this year for some Mario Kart/Galaxy and Zelda. Forgotten how slick it is, even in SD.
Listening to nice music with the rabbit for company. A very civilised evening. http://twitpic.com/23nq0
Why are so many people here scrambling for Jackson tickets? Guys, he's a deranged freak who's been terrible since before you were born.
@Philip5150 Me too. Doves are one of my most played bands. Can't believe it's been 4 years since Some Cities.
RT @stooty: http://twitpic.com/2027s - congratulations mate. Top geek points for announcing the pregnancy via a twitpic!
@fuzzyness Let me know if you've any technical or other questions about whitelabeldating.com - happy to help.
Back from baptism. Silver choo-choo moneybox given to little Aaron and old uni friends seen. Time for some toad in the hole.
Inlaws coming over today so I've been cleaning, tidying up and definitely not arsing around on the internet all morning
