Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-08-27

August 27th, 2011
  • Back at work today after two weeks off. Quiet on Twitter this morning. #
  • China losing hold on manufacturing? Falling quality, poor service & supply levels, rising prices. Official stats seem way behind real world. #
  • Another 0 stars. The Barn at Swinfen. http://t.co/gR3JFXZ #
  • I think the ratemyplace inspections can be a little fussy sometimes but 0 stars is serious stuff. No way I would eat anywhere with a zero! #
  • It seems the property company which owned Burntwood Town Shopping Centre had debts of £22m when it failed. #
  • @pezholio Definitely "pretty but useless"! Eyes can't even focus on any part of it without being distracted by the other crap around it. #
  • Planning application gone in for car wash on Queen Street, Chasetown. Operating hours "not known"! 7 days a week then? http://t.co/3dNzbtc #
  • Didn't know that 2 out of the big 3 comparison websites are actually owned by insurance companies. Wonder if they favour their owners? #
  • comparethemarket.com = BISL (Budget Insurance), confused.com = Admiral Group #
  • GoCompare made £30m pre-tax profit last year, not bad for a dodgy opera singer, lol. #
  • Jacqui Smith got inmates on day release to paint her house. You couldn't make it up! http://t.co/NroBXhb #
  • Just had to use IE for the 1st time in ages for a site using an activeX plugin. I feel unclean. #
  • Is floors-2-go on it's way to floors-2-gone again? Branches close without notice. http://t.co/ZAAXDOE #
  • @pezholio Are you allowed access to the registry? #
  • Lichfield "Book Barge" owner on tour banned from trading in Bristol as it "would not be in Bristol's interests". http://t.co/x27zVzs #
  • Someone bought rock from Weston-S-M in today. 15xE no's and a warning on packet that it may cause hyper-activity in children! #
  • @pezholio Can't beat multi-monitor setup. I have 2 x 22" at work and 2×24" at home. Couldn't do single monitor again. #
  • Sex shop plan for Ex-Christos Restaurant A38, fradley not well received! http://t.co/nJiMQim #
  • @pezholio Do you use multi-desktops as well so you can switch between different workspaces? I use Dexpot http://t.co/lV8hKJj #
  • Wow, CmdrTaco has resigned from Slashdot. Bit of a techie-internet institution that guy. http://t.co/pamjtEv #
  • @pezholio Skating? #
  • Just noticed I'm posting from two accounts again. Oops. #
  • @pezholio Picture you skating, @philipjohn getting excited, MAKE IT STOP! #
  • Enduring a few days of generating management accounts. Easily the most boring and tedious part of my job. #
  • @theaardvark Search for nothing and you will find everything, didn't know Oracle fancied itself as a bit of a Buddhist. #

  • Put wedding ring on wife's finger last week. 6 days later got it off before being cut off when she broke her wrist on honeymoon. #bummer #

  • @pezholio Good luck. It's a good idea, I hope you don't get much resistance to it. #
  • Counting the days to my wedding on Saturday now. Fingers crossed for everything going smoothly, including the less than reliable weather! #
  • @pezholio blends in well with its surroundings doesn't it? Someone gave it a big dose of ugly. #
  • @pezholio QR Code to be printed on planning notice for new cash machine. http://twitpic.com/5zbkna #
  • UK manufacturing contracts. It's certainly quiet at the moment, particularly the UK market. Hopfully not a trend. http://bbc.in/nh0vWX #
  • Twitter feed is very quiet this morning. #
  • @BrownhillsBob Love the hypocrisy there. E&S is always disabling comments on any contentious subject! #
  • @philipjohn There's a massive lack of respect in the real world, I doubt there's much hope for it online. Sad but true. #
  • @philipjohn Thats true, people suddenly become very brave when they're not face to face. Things they would only think suddenly are said. #
  • It's not about the music, it's about the money. Exclusive retail deals for new albums are short-sighted. http://bbc.in/nKL24J #
  • OK who broke the VPN to my home server? #networkfail #
  • Names for new Olympic suburbs: Chobham Manor, Eastwick, Marshgate Wharf, Sweetwater & Pudding Mill. Errr…ok……. http://bbc.in/o8Hwk5 #
  • Seems to be lots of military jets over burntwood tonight? #
  • Why do some websites insist on cryptic username? I use one which is in the form A2KXQLJ7FI5C and cannot be changed! #
  • @BrownhillsBob I can understand that for passwords but it seems overkill for usernames as well. #
  • So the courts say ISPs can be forced to block sites & the government say they have no plans to make it law. #confused http://bbc.in/oVkaVv #
  • @philipjohn Now we just need a way to get carrier pigeons down the phone line and we're sorted ;) #
