  • has, for some reason, decided to watch an episode of House that isn't making any sense. It was supposed to make me feel good but it isn't. #
  • @cookiedude I'm wondering if it's the doctors that are the problem. They're all miserable: one of them is crying. in reply to cookiedude #
  • @cookiedude They may not be miserable doctors, they may just be trying to be deep. Which isn't right on a Monday evening. Where's funny? in reply to cookiedude #
  • @cookiedude True. If I search all these digital channels I may find one somewhere … then again #glee is on too. in reply to cookiedude #
  • just watched somebody spilling milking a TV programme the funniest thing he'd seen all day! Much better than a medical drama. #
  • @RadioPaulo but a bit overdone with the moody/grainy walking around scenes, don't you think? in reply to RadioPaulo #
  • notes his favourite #glee line this week: RT @andrewlonghofer: "That and a majority share of the tire store, that's all we got." #
  • feels in need of a decent coffee. (@ Cardinal Cafe) http://4sq.com/9QkJFh #
  • @SeanieSS Well, they remain better than I can get elsewhere in the building. in reply to SeanieSS #
  • loves it when there is a twist that you weren't expecting (I guess that's the definition of a twist). Fantastic. #

  • is quite interested in the idea of a Londonwide wifi zone that'll connect me to the rest of the planet: http://bit.ly/bW6TED (hat tip @LDN) #
  • rejects all suggestions that he is listening to anything that may be "rockin' into 1995" … you can't hear it so you don't know for sure. #
  • is, seriously, listening to Big Ben chime in 1995 on a cassette tape I found in a drawer … East 17 was the last song of 1994! #
  • learning it's only the 4th time Microsoft have sued over patents (http://bit.ly/a6I5LN) and learning lawsuits aren't exciting reading. #

  • is reminded that this is the week of the iPad in the UK (he hasn't ordered one – yet). But stand by for media overkill. Welcome to the week! #
