I hate wearing clothes to bed. Wake up feeling sweaty and tangled up. 11:04:46, 2011-08-13
I must be hungover. I just marmite. 11:38:39, 2011-08-13

@londonhackspace @darksidelemm Will be sad to miss it. But should be bringing a vacuum test chamber to the space on monday. in reply to londonhackspace 17:26:30, 2011-08-13

@meekoblue I'd like to know how old the persons son is, since it's the sons actions that caused it. in reply to meekoblue 15:53:36, 2011-08-12
@meekoblue Hard to imagine what a family will go through being homeless & knowing their childs actions directly caused it. in reply to meekoblue 16:02:03, 2011-08-12
@julesmattsson It sounds plausible with the other reports and videos we've seen over the past few days. in reply to julesmattsson 16:11:03, 2011-08-12
@julesmattsson Has there been any confirmation on those beaten by GMP in the circulating video not having been arrested afterwards? in reply to julesmattsson 16:13:10, 2011-08-12
@julesmattsson Or that guy filming the stop & search? in reply to julesmattsson 16:13:36, 2011-08-12
@kitschnkaboodle I'd give even odds it's because a lot of progressives live comfortable lives and haven't really been afraid before. in reply to kitschnkaboodle 16:15:31, 2011-08-12
So if you have a rioter in your family, or a rioter *has visited your home*, you could loose your council housing? 16:54:21, 2011-08-12
Why am I thinking of George W Bush now? "If you feed a terrorist or fund a terrorist; you're a terrorist!" Please do not feed the rioters. 16:55:33, 2011-08-12
@kitschnkaboodle Distance is a powerful distorter. EG: Wikileaks and more talking about the riots like they were a popular revolution. in reply to kitschnkaboodle 16:57:32, 2011-08-12
@avon_deer Report your friends and neighbours, fabulous prizes to be won! in reply to avon_deer 17:07:28, 2011-08-12
@meekoblue If ASBOs don't work, why are we skipping the "send them to prison" stage and evicting them? If it's a whole family, they all go. in reply to meekoblue 18:12:40, 2011-08-12
@meekoblue I object to civilian punishments to punish unrelated legal crimes. It's dripping with abuse potential. in reply to meekoblue 18:13:49, 2011-08-12
Is rioter the new paedophile? That which once accused, no-one will believe you however much you deny it? 18:15:15, 2011-08-12
@meekoblue Let's hope the ones you're hating on are actually the ones getting evicted then. Because nothing's said so yet. in reply to meekoblue 18:23:26, 2011-08-12
@meekoblue That's something, but I still think they should be booted out for what they do to you, not what someone who visits them did. in reply to meekoblue 18:29:38, 2011-08-12
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/yflFJVY sony distribution centre playing Christmas music… 18:38:29, 2011-08-12
@meekoblue At least it's made the legislation clear. Just get a photo of them doing it & they should be gone. in reply to meekoblue 18:39:52, 2011-08-12
@meekoblue Time to bring it up again then, I think. Or upload it to YouTube. in reply to meekoblue 18:47:35, 2011-08-12
I can only be disappointed by Episode 3 now, since I got tired waiting and star (@YouTube http://t.co/pfh9ull) 19:10:29, 2011-08-12
On the upside of all this shite lately, people are being made to feel there's actually some point in calling the police. 19:17:24, 2011-08-12
@Eithin Only a good thing indeed! Just wish there weren't still those exceptional cases still pulling it back. in reply to Eithin 19:21:07, 2011-08-12
You get dramatic readings of books, has anyone managed a dramatic play-through of a computer game? 19:24:37, 2011-08-12
Wonder if my PC's up to running screen video capture? Maybe I could do a dramatic playthrough of HL2? :P 19:31:08, 2011-08-12
Or peggle maybe. 19:31:27, 2011-08-12
@pandaririn I've given up and have been writing my own conclusion. in reply to pandaririn 19:48:04, 2011-08-12

Before you click on that RT I just did from BoingBoing, which country do you think it's talking about? 20:00:22, 2011-08-12
@davidgerard @ciphergoth I detect the hint of something to deny that, so will say it's general thing, not everyone o/c. in reply to davidgerard 20:03:27, 2011-08-12
Right, I'm going up the pub. :P 20:12:33, 2011-08-12

Why the hell did people want Cameron to come back from holiday? He has and now he's using the riots to stomp on everyones freedoms. 12:54:21, 2011-08-11
Also, this video from Barking is disgusting. Want to bet the guy filming is one of the riot statistics now? http://t.co/LjZRim3 12:55:25, 2011-08-11
Do the news-orgs have some sort of standing vendetta against Twitter/Facebook? Even after the BBM thing came out, they carried on against. 13:16:17, 2011-08-11
And why am I feeling scared talking about media bias, government and police abuses? Because they're going to clamp down on talking about it? 13:17:38, 2011-08-11
@bluedevi Working on it! Race you to the moon! in reply to bluedevi 13:48:10, 2011-08-11

RT @julesmattsson: Cameron in talks with Chinese to share web filtering techniques, are you taking the fucking piss!? 13:54:27, 2011-08-11
@julesmattsson A source, please. o_o in reply to julesmattsson 13:55:11, 2011-08-11
@julesmattsson Really would be the icing on the cake right now. :( in reply to julesmattsson 13:58:18, 2011-08-11
@julesmattsson Shows how much we believe in Cameron though that it seems plausible enough. in reply to julesmattsson 14:03:01, 2011-08-11
@armury @Glinner Going to go out on a limb and say those that do understand are more chilled out so don't shout as loud. in reply to armury 14:16:41, 2011-08-11

I feel the need to play a game. Then I'll go back to the workshop. 17:16:42, 2011-08-11
Okay, stress levels relating to the riots have peaked. Shutting down for a bit. Please fix the country while I'm away. 21:50:36, 2011-08-11
I'm amazed how many how many of the #bbcqt comments work fine on what I'm watching too. http://t.co/c0NGSCQ 23:16:40, 2011-08-11

I seem to have a distinct lack of countersunk M3 screws. 20:24:11, 2011-08-10
Entering the "slightly high" stage of drinking coffee. 20:32:38, 2011-08-10
@warrenellis What was that comic from your blog ages back, about the next brilliant general being raised in a ghetto? Vote to win published? 20:40:18, 2011-08-10
@warrenellis Thankyou very much! Don't see much in Google. Did it ever make it to a full run or just that pilot? in reply to warrenellis 20:47:33, 2011-08-10
Need to order some heatshrink tubing and those M3 countersunk tonight. Still, enclosure's coming along well. 20:49:26, 2011-08-10
Anyone know about immigration law in the UK and rights of appeal? Passing on a callout here. 20:54:41, 2011-08-10
@Scaley_Jencen Thanks, I'll look into them! Will probably just grab something of ebay in the end tho. Free shipping, etc. in reply to Scaley_Jencen 20:56:44, 2011-08-10
@Sniff_Wuff California I think. in reply to Sniff_Wuff 20:57:22, 2011-08-10
@Scaley_Jencen Good point! Wonder if they do M3 eyebolts? in reply to Scaley_Jencen 20:58:49, 2011-08-10
@Scaley_Jencen Ah, nah was after M3. My currently-stalled 3D printer project was to use them for drive-wire tensioning. in reply to Scaley_Jencen 21:03:20, 2011-08-10
@Scaley_Jencen Will keep the other purposes in mind tho! XD in reply to Scaley_Jencen 21:03:36, 2011-08-10
@TinyTeaDragon Because intelligence and creativity is hot? :) in reply to TinyTeaDragon 21:10:33, 2011-08-10
@Sniff_Wuff I gathered that sadly. Know a few non-twitter folk who've married people from the USA. Process never ends. in reply to Sniff_Wuff 21:17:20, 2011-08-10
@ChaseLioness That sounds rather more than allowed dosages! in reply to ChaseLioness 21:32:28, 2011-08-10
k, need at least 16x M3 10mm countersunk, mixed sizes of heat-shrink and to find an 80mm hole saw. 21:38:48, 2011-08-10
@ChaseLioness That's alarming in so many ways. D: Some professional counselling & prescription painkillers might be best. *hugs!* in reply to ChaseLioness 21:40:03, 2011-08-10
@TinyTeaDragon Like moths to a flame. Or a spark, anyway. :) in reply to TinyTeaDragon 21:40:50, 2011-08-10

I know this lavender oil was cheap, but I expected whatever smell it had (even if chemically) to be STRONG. Barely getting anything. 23:38:02, 2011-08-10
Has anyone suggesting rioters be shot in the streets said "You're either with us or against us!" yet? 23:41:01, 2011-08-10

I have just had a wonderful (or terrible) idea. 17:21:11, 2011-08-09
Going to have a shower. Then going to experiment with the air compressor, a nozzle, ice-cold water and a 50Gallon pressurised barrel. 18:04:47, 2011-08-09
The West Londoner is providing good commentary again tonight. Another shop burning. http://t.co/QCHtypp 19:19:48, 2011-08-09
Nothing makes you question the "truth" put out by distant people like hearing their opinion on things happening on your doorstep. 19:41:19, 2011-08-09
Such as the tweets by Anonymous and Wikileaks lauding these yobs as some sort of popular revolution. Muppets. 19:42:03, 2011-08-09
Welp, guess that's moving things on from multicultural thieving into race-hate. :/ 19:46:52, 2011-08-09
Recommended music for tonight: The Fallout 3 soundtrack. Peaceful and ironic. 19:51:14, 2011-08-09

Rioters showing the rich who's boss by attacking small local shops. Total sense. :P 21:13:05, 2011-08-09
Feeling about Duggan shooting: Police gun accidental discharge, assumed to be suspect, suspect gets sniped. 21:15:20, 2011-08-09
@meekoblue Don't think I have been excusing them, have I? It's obviously opertunist mobs. May be social issues behind that, but not excuse. in reply to meekoblue 21:18:20, 2011-08-09
Police chopper on the route NNE again. Slower tonight. 21:36:02, 2011-08-09
