I like the idea of running a long way when I’m not doing it. Over-analyses cameras for a living, and everything else while awake. Hits drum kit in the office.

Ordered @dominos Got charged £3.99 for delivery. I thought the fact you charge 20 times the cost to make a pizza implicitly covered the price of delivery.

Garmin knackered then? Another ransomware attack, or just incompetence?

Also, while I'm chastising people. @Architectsuk , can you stop making albums. TSTEAAB has been in my ears almost constantly since Feb 28th, but nothing else hits the spot. Either stop, or get something new out in about 3 months or I'm in trouble 👌👏👍

Er... when you post a positive twee... x... whatever the fuck it's called now, then read the next page about a school shooting 😬 I'll never listen to that song in the same way again, but I love a fact and I shall amaze (bore) my family and friends with it now. @keithapearson

Oi @keithapearson . I'm sitting in the sun in Lanzarote (oooh, get me!), 33% of the way through The Fourth Clause, and you're banging on about first cars, speakers, Boomtown Rats etc. My body is in the sunshine, my head is back in the 80s. Bloody love it, wonderful book!

131 days and still waiting for a home. 💔 Walter hopes his age isn't putting people off. At 13 years old, this loyal and loving boy is looking for a quiet home to relax and retire. Could you help encourage applications by reposting? 👉 bit.ly/41fdQDq #Caturday

Cheers @amazon - 2 minutes ad breaks makes it worth getting off my arse and doing jobs. 60 seconds is about my limit for staying put.

Dull post, but we genuinely should all be taking vitamin D supplements from now until spring because we live on a dark, dank little island.

Hey @BCPCouncil, what new and exciting roadworks have you got planned for the New Year to bring us all to a continued standstill? The current situation is quite spectacularly ridiculous, it surely can't be accidental. Nice incentive to run more, as you won't bloody move in a car!

No more @THORPEPARK for us. Second visit where rides randomly closing while we're in queues, wasting hours of the day. Way too expensive to get ONE ride, and kids too disappointed. At least you made your money though, eh?

Dearest @virginmedia. Our broadband has been as reliable as a chocolate tea pot recently (1 week ish) - any chance you could sort it out? Ta awfully.

Harlees Fish and Chips in Corfe Mullen... Decent grub, but £9.60 for this "Large" fish is taking the piss.

Been meaning to print this out for ages, finally got around to it. Cheers @keithapearson 😃👍

After a few beers, I did what I usually do which is to go out and take some photos of my neighbours house (you all do that, right?) Anyway, I think my camera is broken as the sky has gone all stupid. Can anyone recommend a repair shop in the UK to remove purple from my camera?

I've just dismantled two washing machines so I can take them to the tip on my own. Was quite fun, although now I'm going to have to do 2 trips as it all takes up more space. Saturday as a grown up, eh? Fucking awesome. 🙄

Runner peeps, a question! Hillyish ultra (20k ft in 100mi, no single hill very big, but lots of them). Which is more important: hill training, or speed training? Or both equally? I've tended towards hill training in the past, but am questioning whether speed will help more.

Quick question @JamesMontemagno - do you have a proguard.txt example for the latest InAppBilling library (7.0.5)? I can't seem to get it right - getting missing ClassNotFound or NoSuchMethodError with various configs.
