• I'm such a n00b! #
• Top tip: drinking too much during day screws up plans for evening. Always start slow! #
• Bit of a miserable day outside. Not the hot, sunny day I was hoping for. #
• Adversity is a real test of friends. Those that have stepped to fore over the last few weeks were not always the ones I expected #
• Stupid 64 went early. What is it with buses and the number 4??!! #
• Just stood next to young lady (mid 20s) at bus stop whose perfume reminds me of my very first girlfriend. Weird. #
• Looking forward to dinner with @sarannity tonight had extra meat at lunch tho to make up for vegetarian fayre-which is delicious #
• I think I want my own personality cult. Might make that last step of #operationrenaissance #
• Also #operationrenaissance fits quite nicely with #eurotrip2010 #
• Decided on new operation name. Was tempted by Operation Metempsychosis but decided too pretentios, so going with #OperationRenaissance #
• Also step 2 in Operation "get life back on track" is coming on quite nicely. Need catchier operation name tho. Suggestions? #
• Night off tonight no plans at all. Feels quite liberating actually. Rest of weekend booked up so should prob start my #enquiry2010 talk #
• Step 1 in Operation "get life back on track" complete #
• Right. I'm gonna man up. Those that treated me badly aren't gonna learn their lesson, so no point me wasting my time on them. #
• An eventful 24hrs all in all. Best of people and the worst of people in seemingly random jumps. #
• Finally! RT @thinkbroadband: O2 clarifies limit on 'unlimited' broadband package http://bit.ly/90Ia9g #
• So yeah. Job interview + recent ex announcing new fella + new flat falling through = bad day. Pretty low right now. #
• I had to stop my mum calling the police about @O2 niggles ad. She thought it was racist! I think its pretty bad and would put me off. #
• I've now looked at about 10 houses and not really any closer to a solution. Really have to decide by the end of the week #

• Just struck me how blatant the Apple product placement is in House! Its starting to really annoy me now I've noticed. #
• Apparently builder is finished and landlord wants to inspect on Monday. So much for chilled out weekend of football and beer #
• RT @gibmasterflash: Right I'm on 99 followers anyone wanna reweet this so I might get to 100 #
• Heading home early to move some furniture so builders can get access to window etc. fun stuff. #
• Hmm, dreamt about a new application server. I wonder if I should act on that dream? My subconscious is very insistent. #
• Productive evening considering I didn't finish work til 9. Managed to rebuild my home network to increase security #
• So, I can get a Sega Mega Drive free from work with 15 games !! #
• So, appears I am invisible. Dr Rich walked straight past me this morning despite me shouting quite loudly. #
• 13 hours down, 44 hours to go for this week. Gotta love overtime availability and domestic issues :S #
• Is it wrong that I've remapped my BB keyboard to Dvorak? #
• Anyone remember a BBC drama set in Serbia called Warriors? Had Damian Lewis and the scouser from Spooks in it. #
• Band of brothers on blu-ray then bed I think. #
• So, 12hr days seem like a fucking holiday compared to be being at home right now. #
• RT @jackofkent: "Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!" #twitterjoketrial Everyone please RT. #
• At the half way stage of today's money grabbing. #

• 13hr day over. To do list almost finished. Got builders in over weekend, any one got any ideas what I should do instead of staying in? #

• Gah, I hate it when its rainy when I leave for work then sunny when I leave. Just look a twat with umbrella and rain coat. #
• Half day at work today. To be fair I shouldn't have been in at all, but still, half day is half day #
• Come to #enquiry2010 RT @SLSingh: Major skeptic/atheist conference in Birmingham in June – http://bit.ly/bmhv1k #

I have just had confirmation that I will be speaking at this year’s Enquiry conference in Birmingham in June. I am not sure yet what I am speaking on, but the theme for the event is on “atheism in the 21st century” so should be a really great opportunity. What is most exciting is that I am speaking on the same bill as people like Professor A.C. Grayling, Dr Evan Harris, Andrew Copson and Maryam Namazie. What a coup!

• Only an hour left of shift, then got to fight 35000 leeds fans to get home… Not gonna be fun of leeds don't go up! #
• Good job Blackpool. Ahead going to City Ground #
• 9hrs at work today with no lunch break. How I love the overtime system at work… #
• Oh, I forgot… Lord @DrEvanHarris as whoever it is that chooses what stuff gets 2 debate etc so he can overrule anything unscientific. #
• My Con/Lib Dem dream team: PM-David Cameron Chanc-Vince Cable, HomeSec-Nick Clegg, ForeignSec-William Hague JusticeSec-George Osborne. #
• Only been awake 34 of the last 36 hours. Let's go for the burn. #
• Not a bad #ge2010 party at @chrisworfolk 's place. Late show by @MR_OJR was a suprise. Loved how old and grumpy Pax was #
• Up for work. Gave up about 5.30, so pretty fucked. Still no idea who will run the country… #
• Still up watching the results. Sleep is for the weak! Sad news for @DrEvanHarris dark day for common sense and evidence based policy. #
• And whilst doing it rescue the country from its mountain of debt, put the power back into the provate sector and free up market forces. #
• And by drinking the blood we gain the power to become thatcher clones and kill all the gays and unmarried folk. #
• Off to #ge2010 party with @chrisworfolk Us capitalists need to gather together to drink the blood of labourites and socialists. #
• The scene in my local polling station reminded me of the episode of the West Wing where Josh gets annoyed at voters who rule 20. #
• Enjoying my Englishness today. Fish&chip supper, voting, saying sorry to someone that bumped me and complimenting something that was shit. #
• RT @ProfBrianCox: Apparently, if you say climate change skeptics are nobbers, you get loads of angry tweets #
• Today is dragging horribly. Maybe its the excitement of voting although I'm pretty sure its the idiots that keep phoning me and lying to me. #
• Its decision day y'all. I think I'm going to vote lib dem today. Mainly cos I'm in a seat that the tories have basically never won. Ever. #
• This song is getting me through this week :S Tim Minchin – If I Didn't Have You http://youtu.be/Gaid72fqzNE #
• Just over 12 hrs til those polling stations open-who y'all going for? Im still torn between party policy and individual idiocy. Hmm. #
• RT @DrEvanHarris:Evan still needs hlp 2 win.If u can help fone Evans supporters today/tomoro 2 get them 2 vote, email info@evanharris.org.uk #
• 24 hrs to make up mind who to vote for.wish I lived in a marginal gonna add that to my housing requirements. 1,broadband 2.marginal seat #
• Anyone else think belmarsh is a bad name for a new housing development? #iliveinaprison :-p #
• My talk for @leedsatheistsoc went ok. Think it always help to play @timminchin 'storm' as the finale #
• Giving a presentation at @leedsatheistsoc tonight on #atheists in the media. Mainly a chance to show you tube videos of famous atheists. #
• RT @RufusHound: RT @michaellegge: Christian Peoples Alliance says a vote for them brings you closer to God. That just sounds like a threat. #
• RT @DrEvanHarris: @RayPeacock @RobinInce http://xkcd.com/386/ – how can you not vote for a man that tweets about xkcd? Come on oxford west! #
• Thanks to all for the messages @malahath @sarannity @theblindking @gibmasterflash @NQRW in other news-can I justify 500quid rent? #
• Now the number 3 is running late. FFS. #
• Stupid number 4 bus. If it doesn't come on time on bank holidays I'm late for work, guess what? Its late. #
• I don't think the full magnitude of what's happened has hit me yet. Still just numb and in shock. #
• I don't think I'm gonna get used to being single again. Life is just so different when there is nobody at home to share it with. #
• RT @RufusHound: @pzmyers: Can U help? Getting a count of atheists on twitter by hashtag! If youre an atheist, RT this whole message #atheist #

• Hmm, can't decide if this new early start time on a sat is a good thing. Means I'm done before 2 but also I start before 8!! #
• The no4 was on on time! Or rather the no4 from earlier was late enough to appear on time for me #
• Another day, another dollar. Often feels like I'm actually earning dollars for all the spending power my salary gives me atm, lol. #
• So #firstleeds that's ANOTHER No4 bus that hasn't shown up. I want my 80quid a month back!! #
• Correlation versus causation example – everytime I am late, all my connecting busses run late. Ergo my lateness causes busses to run late! #
• Back to work tomorrow. Night all. #
