Green Party: “Massive investment in renewable energy will create 1 million jobs”. Potty. Paid for by who, exactly?
I am busy being unsurprised about all the expense revelations. What, you thought the politicians were all paragons of virtue? Please
Sore back today from gardening yesterday. At least one can see some instant results from this kind of graft, unlike the day job!

Tomorrow I am heading to Ljubljana and for once I may have an hour or three to just… check the place out. Any recommendations?
I respect the business expense rules. When a drone halfway around the world short pays you for minor admin issues it makes your blood boil.
Wow - GBP39 for a return rail ticket Wokingham-London. And I get to stand all the way. Glad I don’t have to do this much!
Early train tomorrow heading to #IPTVWF. Looking forward to doing some business and keen to understand how business is holding up

Gah! #Gmail down again. What in gadzooks is going on.
UK taxpayers required reading from FT Alphaville… http://bit.ly/11IljX. My blood has stopped boiling and remains in a gaseous state
Landed Heathrow late last night, headed eagerly to the M4 and home only to find it… shut. Brilliant. Maybe some signs BEFORE getting on?

In training - digital video grooming, program insertion, rate shaping. Lovely :-)
The weather in Madrid is jolly nice today. Shame I am stuck in an office dealing with unreasonable customer requests.

I am explaining Twitter to a colleague. He doesn’t get it.
iTunes was getting stale as a way to organise my music, very happy to have found Songbird: http://bit.ly/kkvrl
I don’t watch much TV but whenever I do @lilyroseallen seems to be on it. Saturation marketing.
Woken up by @stephenfry this morning, he was recommending that my wife spend more on the credit cards. Can I reprogramme that bloody clock?

#England 2 satellites have collided in space, if they crash land in Seville it will at least result in something interesting to watch on ITV
Time for bed. Sounds like my daughter is going to be waking up every 30 minutes… post MMR blues. Might be a long night!

#England But I agree, the game is pretty shite.
#England Can I just remind all the moaning twitterers out there that the team have generally played pretty well under Capello
#England Need a beer for this second half
Andy Townsend is talking bollocks - how is Heskey supposed to stay on his feet if his feet have been kicked from under him?
#England I am watching TweetDeck more than this footie game. Says it all
Pondering how Reading (the place) has a semantic disadvantage on the web… it never appears in search results!
Cadbury eyebrows ad just came on at half time of the footie. I really tried not to smile, but failed. http://bit.ly/FI7S
