• 18:51 Victoria Line closed Saturday and Sunday. I have no plans to use it, but still worth reminding myself
• 19:01 My new tactic is asking those indiscriminate mass 'followers' why they have selected me. If no adequate explanation - they get reported spam

• 19:59 Suffering new toy-itis & recording TV progs I'd normally skip - on Sky+ which is NO DIFFERENT from the one it replaced. Lunatic or what?

• 21:21 Or when the continuity announcer says 'Millennium bug, that went all right. And so did the whole decade"

• 22:06 So Bodycare UK has 'backed down' - or given into bullying over poppy. What a gross insult to those who support cancer charities, for example
• 22:07 I'm not saying that Bodycare UK have insulted the cancer charities. It's the bullies in Wigan Borough Veterans' Council who have done so.
