From Twitter 05-05-2011



@EmmaGx sad but true I think. So expect many will take safe option.
@Kateroon at least with postal you can drop papers in envelope off at polling station on actual day (but not get fresh papers)
@Kateroon very high tech really. online would be "easier" though obv tech/security challenges
@Shelley__Lee the 70-200 lenses reviewed in the mag are fast (f2.8) but heavy (1.3kG +) and pricey (800-3000 ukp). Great for sports on
@Shelley__Lee tripods etc - more pro. Good quality optics. The 18-270 is a small light (450g), cheaper lens for travel/holidays
@noSPicedhAM well working at home meant the salmon was probably paid for by skipping two commercial priced coffees
wonders what's going on and reminds ppl I'll be missing #f1 fp1/2 tomorrow due to this thing called work... some iplayer later!
@EmmaGx "us" ? ;-)
@_pocketdynamo why increased traffic though? Bit out of touch with news today
So if you haven't voted a) understand what AV is b) GO OUT AND VOTE. (whichever way). #ukelection
@_pocketdynamo no!
@_pocketdynamo the poor thing will get emotional being left alone in the dark all night
@eileenb BTW as an update the swarm moved on mid morning. Off towards the woods it seems.
@TashaDragonfly Glad to see you're tackling world problems ;-) #tashaparty
RT @SarahAnnGreen: Whoever decided to put the polling station next to the Chinese takeaway is a genius! #yestoAV #yestochinesetakeaway
@SarahAnnGreen nice one Sarah -- one of ours on the otherhand is next door to the pub..... #yestoAV #yestochinesetakeaway
@_pocketdynamo ah yes of course. I'm slow. you're right up there today!
@_pocketdynamo though the change is only enforced when connecting from an "unseen" IP address it seems (should stagger a little)
@epredator sounds tough but that is one "good" thing about funerals - remembering friends/family that are alive too..
@xspyda hi again. Will you ever find a good phone. lol! So what did you think/why return?
RT @shellk1984: RT @jakehumphreyf1: We'll be on BBC Two and BBC HD Channel on Saturday. BBC One and BBC One HD on Sunday. Simples!
@shellk1984 @jakehumphreyf1 Fortunatlely us fans really don't mind which (bbc) channel.. ! like any (that is showing f1...!)
@eileenb yep they were really quiet over night, then lots of scouts this am going all over. When the swarm took off it was loud.
@pj_kent actually it would have been easier with AV... as same process across all of them!
@LNT89 how "given two votes"? #fb
@Queen_of_Snarks Yes - Mr Sugar posted that earlier. Looking forward to it. recently lost my respect/interest in trump #TeamSnark
@sAWESOMEd <wonders if sky can track across channels> Errr no. Should be able to #f1
@slackbladd3r why new? get rid of old contacts?
@sxa555 you mean on the envelope
@TashaDragonfly like a record
@Queen_of_Snarks the american show (up to 2006) was more celebrity/BB style than task focussed it seemed anyway
@Queen_of_Snarks I had been watching them but not now
@xspyda son's was freezing constantly (2.3.3) . Got swapped out. No freezes (2.3.1). then updated to 2.3.4, still none.
@xspyda samsung do some decent stuff (like TVs, fridges). Was it sw customization, build ?
@sxa555 don't know as I have the postal vote "package"
@pj_kent when are you around again (working fri+mon daytimes).
@sxa555 so will I -- we just elect to get the postal pack as it means can still vote if away/bus trip etc
@sxa555 you can drop envelope off at polling stn rather than postbox if you prefer
@Alexandra_1608 GOOD! Unfair on everyone else if they get away with it
@MarussiaVirgin are you trying to keep up with the Lotus team's exploits last time around! Competition time?
@andiecapes use it somewhere there's no wifi. Prob depends if mostly use at home/office or out/about
@xspyda I think bottom line is all the platforms are pretty good, but none are perfect nor are their devices...
@melissa_RBRx I imagine you discounted one quite quickly
off to vote (well hand in postal vote)
@saltyF1 dentists are expensive. generally we're ok (NHS) but daughter has had orthodontics privately (3k) #Ripoffdentist #Ihatedentists
@saltyF1 and now needs more treatment (800 I think). Youch. so you prob got off lightly.... #Ripoffdentist #Ihatedentists
Just voted (dropped off vote), walked dogs and then played taxi. Now for dinner
CYCLISTS - If there is a (decent) CYCLE LANE **Use it** rather than slowing traffic on single track/humped back bridge. INCONSIDERATE #fail
@LNT89 sounds like an opportunity for some data cleanliness activities...
@saltyF1 Our issue with orthadontics was the alignment wasn't quite up to the NHS spec... #Ripoffdentist
@saltyF1 Latest advice we've had is our dentist probably doesn't want to do the (simplish) procedure due to NHS payments #Ripoffdentist
@saltyF1 They are discouraging us from having it done there but a private dental surgeon we spoke to reckoned financial pressure
@shellk1984 @jakehumphreyf1 Talking of which would be real nice if the "old" races on red button were also on iplayer :-)
@jodyeric as well as local/very local elections we have the YES/NO to AV referendum too. prob more significant long term
@slackbladd3r I gave up on MSN pretty much - how about facebook chat? Most people use (have access to?) that now
@saltyF1 But you're right to get it done properly and look it's best... I'd do the same. #Ripoffdentist
@rachelclarkef1 Don't you think it will be outdated by phones though. I guess battery life/simplicity are strengths? @MarussiaVirgin
@DaveMyers1 I'm not so sure. I do think a lot of people seem to not understand it and then go for a "safe" approach.(diff to conscious vote)
@OzoneVibe Great! Am sure Tivo and Windows Media Center manage it but @skyhd EPG can't deal with channel switches it seems? #F1
@DaveMyers1 Maybe.. and I'm with you. it's easy. But have seen odd comments from people.
@saltyF1 Schedules look to have been cleared so I rather think so :-) #F1lunchclub #F1 #Turkishgp
@DaveMyers1 Sigh
@etherealtype and I take it you've been to vote!
@slackbladd3r yeah it can be a bit tedious. There are other clients you can use though. Not as pretty as MSN (I use pidgin).
@etherealtype Oh silly me.Thanks for putting me straight. So you miss the bad things like politics but get good like waitrose! #YestoAV
Just had to remove (whilst holding hand over) some facebook posts from a LIKE - Spoilers for TV prog on in US, but later in UK.... Grrrr
@slackbladd3r or just stick to twitter....
@NickiDavies you mean in chrome? Had you setup sync? (works nicely).worth checking config files lying around?
@sxa555 errr in that case no (for same reason my WHS server is staying on v1 for now!) #ubuntu
@NickiDavies Ah yes I played about with that a little (silly thought of creating family domain etc)
@mike_griffin_f1 Yeah for quite a few shows all the interaction sadly assumes US airing
@The_F1_Laura patience is everything #F1
So if I order a package worth say £19 or £20 from china (over £18 limit) and it gets checked, is it £6 fee+duty+vat (batteries).
Are chinese "scud" batteries a good brand (I think they are a major player?) like http://bit.ly/mG0wHH
Quite tempted by http://bit.ly/iUBX9O but never used aliexpress. 30 USD not big deal, though could be +6 ukp+vat+duty. Order 1/2 instead?
Crazy RT @RhiFace: Lady on the TV who is pregnant with her 16th child. 16! Jesus Christ!
@Booooothman that's why I was asking about manufacturers...
@Booooothman can get cheaper/lower capacity, thought based on http://bit.ly/msiPlo #batteries
@OzoneVibe Or I order one or two (higher unit price) which def comes under limit. Or go elsewhere
@NickiDavies Yeah I share your concern though I have some basis for that link -- http://bit.ly/msiPlo
@mike_griffin_f1 or if americans (sorry the good guys) realised the rest of the world existed
@OzoneVibe <whispers> don't want your sensible self to hear...
@anniemare @RhiFace I don't think I want to know. what a terrible thought
@The_F1_Laura not so bothered about practice -- but you're around for quali+race right?
Other option is 8.70 USD from dealextreme for "Japod" battery http://bit.ly/msiPlo wondering if SCUD a lot better quality for premium..
@xplane0202 it's in the lovefilm list
@sxa555 would be china or hong kong post
@sxa555 so would assume royal mail in uk?
def risk, though at < £20 it's not exactly end of the world
@jaylimburn and yes I had a great day too. Seriously though sounds like a bit of a cr*p day. back in sunny south now :-)
@VickyLygoeF1 glad feeling better. if happens again, tweet lots then when you remember everyone else can tell you what you were saying ...
Just watched hestons prog on cineworld food. Those prices and popcorn markup ridiculous tho some new options intriguing
@iainduncani proper cycle path off to side of road with brand new expensive bridge. Only short bit but its not only time not used
RT @pj_kent: I see Labour are *still* in denial about having anything to do with near bankrupting the country. Conveniently short memory ...
Looks like one of my main phone batteries has gone more dud. now powering off early. official batt. time to get spares
@50ftwoman the event.. well it looked like a spoiler. I did the visual "na na na na" fingers in hear equivilent and hit the X/remove
@Shelley__Lee thanks for the #FF
@minxymoggy though how do you define. what about drs/nurses/police/teachers etc etc.?
decided to unlike US #apprentice. will focus on british (good/better) esp with trumps recent political exploits
