Arrrrggghhhhhh! I cannot write business cases!

2011-06-12T21:05:00.001Z

Absolutely brilliant end to the gp. Hard luck to schumi. #f1

2011-06-12T20:36:00.001Z

After all that, it's looking nice again. Lovely racing. #f1

2011-06-12T20:30:00.001Z

No huge fan of Schumacher, but great to see him racing again. #f1

2011-06-12T19:55:00.001Z

After giving up on celery after last week's disaster, I've now developed a love of tomatoes + olive oil + salt & pepper. I may be pregnant.

2011-06-12T16:10:00.001Z

Canadian Gran Prix looks tasty. Wet race should be fun #f1

2011-06-12T13:03:00.001Z

Well done to @villagepig for a great boys' 5th birthday party yesterday. All the kids who attended were ace, too. Parents should be proud.

2011-06-11T17:39:00.001Z

Tired.

2011-06-06T20:55:00.001Z

I'm sure that's Alexander Armstrong in game of thrones.

2011-06-06T17:44:00.001Z

Lots of #kinect announcements at #e3. Hope @villagepig doesn't think this is why the kids got #kinect for their birthday.

2011-06-06T06:36:00.001Z

Happy Birthday to my little dudes. Can't believe it's been 5 years. You've given back a million times more than you've taken.

2011-06-01T21:01:00.001Z

Sepp Blatter IS the emperor.

2011-06-01T12:48:00.001Z

Never listen to #IronMaiden immediately after listening to #AdamAndJoe. You won't be able to take it seriously.

2011-05-29T13:55:00.001Z

Ok. What's the pit/tyre situation now? #f1

2011-05-29T13:53:00.001Z

Hope Petrov is ok. #f1

2011-05-29T13:46:00.001Z

Bollocks. Safety car will give vettel the race #f1

2011-05-29T13:36:00.001Z

Who'd have thought we'd even get an exciting Monaco gp? Great #f1 season.

2011-05-28T08:36:00.001Z

There's a fifa ethics committee?

2011-05-28T08:35:00.001Z

There's a fifa ethics committe?

2011-05-21T19:37:00.001Z

That was a long day. Both sons' smart-arse genes appear to have kicked in at an alarming rate.

2011-05-21T13:48:00.001Z

If you're in London and want a great night out please support @herring1967 by going to aiotm @ leicester square theatre. Hilarious filth.

2011-05-21T09:58:00.001Z

Today is not the end of the world! That's not till October. Today is just express check-in day.

2011-05-19T05:14:00.001Z

Peterborough! W00t!

2011-05-17T20:46:00.001Z

It's not obligated, it's obliged you knobs.

2011-05-14T19:46:00.001Z

mmmm nachos

2011-05-09T21:05:00.001Z

"He'll be a recurring character". Lance to the neck. Maybe not. #GameOfThrones

2011-05-08T12:05:00.001Z

Kobayashi is by far my favourite driver to watch. #f1

2011-05-07T19:55:00.001Z

Catfish. Wow. Won't say any more.

2011-05-06T18:30:00.001Z

No to AV campaign's argument was electorate were too thick to understand it. Thanks Britain for proving them right. :( #yes2av *whimper*

2011-05-05T06:29:00.001Z

Given a choice between something a bit better or something no better i'll go for the marginal improvement. So I'm voting #yes2av today.

2011-05-02T08:37:00.001Z

Can't help thinking that Four Lions had a bigger effect on the war on terror than killing Bin Laden #obl

2011-04-29T21:32:00.001Z

Can't get the beauty and the beast music out of my head.

2011-04-29T12:29:00.001Z

Harry is so gonna nail Pippa.

2011-04-29T08:34:00.001Z

Watching wedding coverage on The Wright Stuff (with @DaveGorman). Much more entertaining.

2011-04-25T08:44:00.001Z

Sad that the most intelligent discussion about av is on the Wright Stuff. Thanks @timminchin and @DaveGorman. Can the news do this now, pls?

2011-04-24T18:47:00.001Z

Tough weekend of sick kids. Still, it's the times when your kids need you most that make you realise how much being a parent means to you.

2011-04-21T20:48:00.001Z

Just watched Four Lions. Funny, sad, sweet and tragic all at the same time. Brave and very, very good. Chris Morris is a genius.

2011-04-21T18:21:00.001Z

Just completed Dragon Age 2. I know it had it's critics (and i'll admit it had a couple of flaws), but I loved every minute. Great stuff.

2011-04-21T12:47:00.001Z

Finally getting rid of this cold. #Claire - I'm looking at you.

2011-04-19T20:37:00.001Z

Wow. RIP Sarah Jane. First Dr Who companion I was aware of. Very sad and shocking news.

2011-04-19T12:48:00.001Z

If anyone's in any doubt about AV, this might help explain it: http://ping.fm/HXRXk #yes2av

2011-04-17T21:30:00.001Z

WTF does Anne Widdecombe give up for lent?

2011-04-17T12:48:00.001Z

J Mascis's guitar is still one of the best sounds in the world. #seeyou

2011-04-17T08:40:00.001Z

Really great grand prix. Excellent stuff.

2011-04-16T22:24:00.001Z

Love how monarchy going through the male line is discrimination issue, but being head of state through accident of birth isn't.

2011-04-15T21:19:00.001Z

Just watched Yukiko Horie on BBC news. This is the real story of the tsunami. Enough of this nuclear cr@p.

2011-04-13T20:47:00.001Z

Wow. Tom Selleck is possibly the coolest man ever #BlueBloods

2011-04-11T21:25:00.001Z

French con. on Muslim women protesting the banning of the veil - "they need to understand, this is not how we behave in France". Really?

2011-04-10T09:47:00.001Z

Alonso is such a dick. Petulant little spanish arse.

2011-04-08T20:59:00.001Z

Social Network was great. Know I'm gonna be thinking about it for a while afterwards, too.

2011-04-03T07:41:00.001Z

Hi to all the yummy mummies out there. Hope you have a great day. Especially the yummiest of all, the one I'm married to.

2011-03-26T18:26:00.001Z

Home alone with the kids. One now has a temperature, other will be lucky if he hasn't broken his nose. It normally goes better than this.

2011-03-26T09:48:00.001Z

In interviews, Fernando Alonso is played by Ben Stiller #truef1fact

2011-03-26T07:39:00.001Z

Ross Brawn is Daddy Pig.

2011-03-19T12:16:00.001Z

Trust our kids to have a best friend called Tom. Three kids. Two look the same. Two are called Tom. Confused.

2011-03-17T17:29:00.001Z

Off to see Russell_Kane in Sept. Yay!

2011-03-16T21:02:00.001Z

Think Merrill may be the best character in any game ever.

2011-03-14T07:34:00.001Z

Happy Birthday, Einstein. In honour of your birthday, can we have more sensible reporting of the actual nuclear risk in Japan?

2011-03-13T21:58:00.001Z

Made a lovely chicken chaseurre tonight. Even the brats ate it. #winning

2011-03-12T21:40:00.001Z

My God. Why does Alex Jones still have a job on tv?

2011-03-12T15:44:00.001Z

Sorry there was no comment on #decemberists last night (battery shot). Absolutely fantastic. Plus, @colinmeloy is a very witty man.

2011-03-11T19:19:00.001Z

Decemberists here we go :)

2011-03-09T12:31:00.001Z

Ok. Let's try proper food again...

2011-03-08T17:14:00.001Z

Just watched Sigur Ros - Heima on Sky Arts. Beautiful stuff.

2011-03-05T23:32:00.001Z

Van Helsing. Fun film, slightly let down by plastecine cgi. Still... Kate Bekinsale.

2011-03-05T10:28:00.001Z

Responding to kids' philosophical questions would be so much easier if I was a dogmatic religious type.

2011-03-02T18:23:00.001Z

Second helping of my carbonara for Tom. Not sure if that means it was really good or really bland.

2011-02-26T22:26:00.001Z

Only a matter of time before Obi starts humping cushions. Dude needs to be fixed.

2011-02-26T21:28:00.001Z

Surprised by The Heartbraker. Should have hated it, but really enjoyed it.

2011-02-25T23:18:00.001Z

Impressed. Jesse J seems like a real talent.

2011-02-20T17:55:00.001Z

The King's Speech was absolutely amazing. Totally blown away.

2011-02-18T21:33:00.001Z

Jennifer's Body was a lot of fun. Never knew where it was gonna go next. Nice.

2011-02-17T13:05:00.001Z

Ed Milliband looks and sounds like Fry from Futurama.

2011-02-14T12:52:00.001Z

Desperately resisting the urge to go around spell/grammar correcting people's romantic status messages.

2011-02-12T21:54:00.001Z

Hot Fuzz was ace. Just want to watch all of Spaced back-to-back now.

2011-02-12T19:43:00.001Z

I'm disturbed by how much I laugh during Total Wipeout. Hot Fuzz next, methinks.

2011-02-12T09:55:00.001Z

I'm gonna start DadsNet.

2011-02-05T10:26:00.001Z

"The King Is Dead" has met the kids' approval. They're swaying, riding horses round the living room and singing their version of the lyrics.

2011-02-04T19:53:00.001Z

I wanna move to Oregon.

2011-01-31T19:40:00.001Z

We prop up an oppressive dictator for years and then have the cheek to worry that his people might democratically elect Islamic extremists?

2011-01-31T09:16:00.001Z

RIP John Barry.

2011-01-30T09:29:00.001Z

Wow. Tennis can be quite tedious, can't it?

2011-01-29T19:24:00.001Z

Tonight's feature presentation: Iron Man.

2011-01-29T12:54:00.001Z

Check out flushtracker on Friday, need to get septic tank drained on Saturday #irony

2011-01-25T22:05:00.001Z

If anyone is feeling down, the best advice I can offer is "get a kitten".

2011-01-25T17:02:00.001Z

That's one parent's evening down. Another 16 (at least) to go. Kids have done well, hope they can keep it up ;)

2011-01-25T17:00:00.001Z

So Andy Gray sacked. Not sure that adds a great deal. Think it would have been better for them to have to interview Massey on air.

2011-01-21T20:40:00.001Z

Impressed with 10 o'clock show. Funny and refreshing in the way it actually lets interviewees answer questions.

2011-01-18T07:32:00.001Z

Awful night's sleep as expected. Why are most British hotel room thermostats stuck at about 30 degrees?

2011-01-17T20:45:00.001Z

Confit of duck, followed by cheese board. Always wondered if I suffered from gout.

2011-01-17T19:51:00.001Z

Guy on table opposite, eating burger with knife and fork #tryingtoohard

2011-01-17T19:38:00.001Z

How did we cope, away for work, in restaurants, on our own without smartphones?

2011-01-16T22:13:00.001Z

Misfits season 2 watched. Absolutely fantastic. All those who never watched it - you're all fools. Fools I tell ya.

2011-01-15T21:32:00.001Z

Wow! Kick Ass was brutal. Brilliant, but really f*ckin brutal. Hit Girl was ace.

2011-01-15T18:39:00.001Z

Welcome Obi to our strange little household. Pics to follow.

2011-01-13T08:06:00.001Z

2011-01-12T19:35:00.001Z

Looking forward to f1 in hd next year. Should be v. perdy.

2011-01-11T19:04:00.001Z

Sausage casserole was bloody lovely tonight. Very proud.

2011-01-10T17:42:00.001Z

Bizarre, watching Sky News fumbling to separate Arizona shooting from rights' rhetoric.
