@noelrooney wake me up when it's over.
@jetlbomb Am not a big reader. should try more. scifi/crime/thriller/biog mostly. you?
@jetlbomb The screen is fantastic. ebooks costing > say 2/3 paperbacks really annoys me. sometimes > hardback. that's taking the ****
@jetlbomb when reading say a bio/more factual book the ability to mark (and share) a piece of text, and lookup in dictionary is real nice
@jetlbomb They're *very* different. Don't rely on kindle for anything other than long-form reading. But it excels at that. Has browser but
@jetlbomb not touch, slow screen refresh (e-ink) - just it's not *for* anything other than being a book. or lots of books. thats it.
@jetlbomb ipad clearly totally different. v. flexible etc. don't have one. But not a patch in terms of relaxing with a book IMO.
@jetlbomb sceen is just not same. kindle so *relaxing* to read. Basically two totally different devices. You might need both.
@jetlbomb you know some shops stock them now. John Lewis was the first so you can go and play if you don't know anyone with one.
@jetlbomb the way I look at it is that the kindle is single-purpose it's... err. an "e-book". thats it. and very good at it too. not more.
@jetlbomb remember they get heavier as you add more books... .. ok only joking ;-)
@jetlbomb Do you "need" any technology? limited. . I got one for my birthday on the basis it *had* to be something I didn't *need* ;-)
@EmpireSteve Also look at @pixelpipe -- very similar - I use it mostly due to good phone plugin for uploading! @vixisabel
@THEpastamaster @Rellativity79 Am not even going to click on the link. sounds repulsive
wish I knew how I could take 2 dogs out (fair way on leads) and take my DSLR for a walk at once ...
@Jayskiclimb the thought is scary
@kazb711 whilst I trip up. Yes that will work.
@deanupton tah. there's certainly a huge following for #eurovision and lots of knowledgeable experts!
@noelrooney Fortunately we have another engagement at dinner with friends. Of course they may have it on.. Best take extra wine :-)
RT @noelrooney: Nothing says Eurovision night more than fondue, you can't have enough cheese. #bbceurovision
@SlyRenard seems fine here, though I'm on the old-style messages despite applying to try out new style last Oct/Nov ..
@jetlbomb that was exactly what I was wondering myself after your posts earlier
@jetlbomb and having read the abstract - yep like that idea. Early days? publisher? reviews? doing? amazon kindle self-publish?
RT @F1_LewisFan: Between 12:00 and 1:00 UK time we can watch @NicoleScherzy and @elliegoulding on RWBW http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bigwe ...
@jetlbomb am guessing must be tough to figure out best way to distribute and also make some ££.pub. b4?
@slackbladd3r well I did watch it just after #eurovision so I could probably have made it through anything even xfactor auditions
@slackbladd3r
@Nickyhants mm. that short url directs to another short url which gives me blank page. was it a good article. Is url working for you?
@jetlbomb well good luck. Not my area!
@kateknight that phrase "resistance is futile" comes to mind. You are now under the jobs curse and being picked up by the apple tractor beam
@mel_chappelhow have a good time. Sounds like it will be a great event - last years certainly look brilliant on tv.
@AdamManning love it!
@saltyF1 #f1lunchclub indeed. At some point must get head around timings. Prob at track. Do know fri eve we have our special virgin bbq
Really should do a following/list clean. But for now. Gym time. Quiet out? No idea why. Not as if #f1 lockdown applies!
@AdamManning daddy will have to go next time to meet sis.....
wonders if any of #f1lunchclub (in fact any fans of course) will be at @badgetgp canada london event. Am planning to. @saltyF1
@Badgergp canada #f1 meetup info at badgergp.com/2011/05/canadian-gp-live/ @saltyF1
@OzoneVibe i did keep reminding you ..! @paulbackhouse
@saltyF1 u have your business cards ready then? Thats really cool. Tho demands on drivers v.high!
Good gym session and jacuzzi. Extra quiet too. Now to shops...
Seriously worn out. Grocery shopping. Out in an hour. Need to get home for a strong coffee..
used my single shot portafilter for first time in ages -- but only because I *need* a 3 shot americano. 4 is pushing it. #sotired
think our neighbours next door may have been watching the football. The obligitory bbq is on, and there's been some karaoke.
@jpapejr yes and that's something home deliv doesn't help with. I was so slow in the store today (tired)
@Trillionaire break cutlery? Plastic forks in mcdonalds?
@neicey I know my mum has cooked dinner becuase the cupboards are stripped bare of saucepans. May as well use it right...
@Gaila88 want to watch some of that later. should be great but hectic day & friends this eve.
@VickyLygoeF1 I'll be there in 30 mins. (wine that is - dinner with friends!)
RT @geraintwjones: Will NOT be watching Eurovision tonight. Booked myself in to have a whole body wax instead, as this is much less pai ...
@geraintwjones am with you . fortunately have to go out to friends (good). just hoping they're not fans...
@geraintwjones still trying to understand if anyone watches it apart from as a drinking game #eurovision
@etherealtype copy the portugese perhaps? at least it's colourful...
@saltyF1 worn out, but dinner with friends should be good. going for the 3x espresso shot as an alternative to matchsticks
RT @MarussiaVirgin: What are you doing next Thursday at 12:30h GMT? Keep an eye on Twitter – YOU can interview @realTimoGlock #Twinterview
@xplane0202 oops. Should be ok with the case and screen protector on we hope...
I hsould prob be leaving the house in 10 mins. Shower/change/sort out phone batt. ok then make that 5 more twitter mins.
@kateknight I figure should be obvious - guide not needed. Usually ok to read later beyond the basics, but if need it sooner it's a fail!
@kateknight sorry yes you tweeted about it a while back. Bit of light saturday night relief then ;-)
@miss_vix ha ha ha
Whirt shirt + red wine.. Maybe not
@saltyF1 don't want to fall asleep drinking my red wine...
@slackbladd3r that implies you have observations from previous years to base a comparison on #rumbled
@slackbladd3r right so everything else all year is in impeccable taste. Right ok then.
should be a fun non-eurovision (and mostly non-tweeting) eve :-)
Lovely evening with friends. No eurovision. Phew. And the red is quite friendly too. Tho voda cell seems down. Usually full sig.
Scrub that. Theyve gone in to watch the only artist that seemed decent earlier in week with sand artist
Not that i am thinking about #f1 but tried friends passive electronic military grade ear defender things. Wierd and wicked
