  • Won't be getting this in Wandsworth! RT @David_MacLean: Leicester City Council planning to give 54 cllrs a £700 iPad http://bit.ly/dcsjor #
  • Take iPhone, put camera app into front facing mode, place on floor, et voilà, a narcissistic MiniMe amused for hours. #
  • There's a Waitrose and a Cineworld app. That's pretty much all your Southside Wandsworth needs taken care of. #
  • The songwriter clearly didn't foresee that 'if your happy and you know it turn around' would only result in dizzy toddlers falling over. #
  • I love the happy combination of Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and left-handedness. #
  • Blogged: Dear Taxpayer, don’t buy me an iPad http://bit.ly/8YNzVB #
  • Can't I do anything without people knowing? (Rhetorical question, venting frustration, before you answer.) #
  • A belated afternoon tea. It's like cake tapas. #
  • Enjoying some cake tapas. (c)2010 James Cousins. (HT @CEisenhart for the intellectual property advice!) in reply to CEisenhart #
  • Just emailed someone advice on blackmailing the government. Fear I've breached the councillors code of conduct. #
  • Blogged: Crime mapping and reassurance http://bit.ly/95mPZp #
  • I do so love that chuggers are coming to my door so regularly. It's so inconvenient having to go out to be annoyed by them. #
  • Could we crowdsource chuggers and churglars like was done with #uksnow #
  • Of course, having done my stint electioneering I shouldn't complain about churgling, but I didn't make anyone feel guilty for abusing me. #
  • What the hell is the "Socialist Resistance" RT @NeilDotObrien: Dave Spart was mistakenly missed off this letter: http://bit.ly/aLp4Xn #
  • Oh, it's an 'ecosocialist magazine'. http://j.mp/dxPz21 #
  • Oh. Bloody hell. #
  • I'm going to be home by 2330. I don't know whether to be pleased or depressed. #
  • Can anyone give me a compelling reason not to delete FourSquare from my phone? #
  • This is actually someone else's sofa. But I want to be Mayor. (@ My Sofa) http://4sq.com/9rKyfR #
  • Or I could start checking in at lots of people's houses to freak them out a bit. #
  • This is actually in Battersea, whatever Lisa says. (@ Lisa's sofa) http://4sq.com/dlgOWk #
  • That's all the social media apps removed from the iPhone… except Twitter. Should I keep that one? #
  • Time Machine is making my iMac crawl like it's processor was built in the 90s. #
  • Blogged: Council houses, or homes? http://bit.ly/bXdeoP #
  • I should go on facebook book more than quarterly. Sorry to everyone waiting for replies to messages! #fb #
  • This August has 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays, 5 Tuesdays, all in one month. It last happened in 2004. #
  • Not sure why I'm so annoyed by this five Sundays thing, because it's so obviously wrong, or because it makes me realise how anal I am. #
  • Deep Impact would have been better with worse acting and more Star and Stripes. Like Armageddon. #
  • Now I've deleted FourSquare I can't tell you I'm at the Town Hall. What? You never cared?! #
  • Does the size of an estate agent's tie knot say anything about them? You know, like the size of your feet correlates with Viagra spam? #
  • I'm no fan of Ali Dizaei, but even so can't help but dislike the way the Telegraph insert subtle digs: http://bit.ly/bdH7v2 #
  • Blogged: Walkabout http://bit.ly/aOkS2t #
  • Twitter's put @DMiliband at the top of my 'to follow' list. They didn't get that right, did they? Don't they know I'm all about @EdBallsMP? #
  • Curses, it transpires that I'm not one of those with 'real talent' amongst the ranks of Conservative councillors. #
  • Realising I've just spent an hour reading about Spectrum games on wikipedia I'm beginning to understand why this week hasn't been productive #
  • Do I want to go and see Crawley v Grimsby next week? It's Town's first Premiership outing, be an historic match. #
  • Should be getting on top of work. Seem to have accidentally re-arranged my office. Now lacking excuses not to work. #
  • Finally flicked the page on my @localleadership calendar, apparently "we build too many walls and not enough bridges." #
  • Finally ready to get down to it… perhaps a coffee first. Yes. A coffee will set me up nicely for a productive afternoon. #
  • Of course, I should probably clean the coffee machine. Then make a proper coffee. Then get down to work. #
  • Paying the credit card bill on which the iPhone 4 payment appears. Ouch. That is all. #
  • Room re-arranged. Desk tidied. Coffee machine cleaned. Time to crack on with some work. Mind you, it is nearly 6. #
  • Oh Boy. “@martingoode: Scott Bakula Says That A Quantum Leap Movie Is On The Way http://bit.ly/ctMnFQ” #
  • Absolutely corking day in the @cnps stakes, 4 numbers added. #
  • Dr Internet is suggesting my recurrent calf injury is actually a spasm. I don't see myself as the spasming type, it sounds too energetic. #

  • So these elected police-types, will they be called Sheriffs? If so I might be interested if it comes with a badge. #
  • I know I tweeted about this yesterday, but I'm so excited about staying in Meppershall's top hotel http://j.mp/a22aLi #
  • How far to Hitchin? It's Hitchin I'm missing. #
  • Train station has no taxi rank. Call number for local firm. They're on holiday until mid-August! #
  • 60p to use a payphone. No wonder no-one uses them for their proper purpose any more. #
  • Managed to locate the county's only cab company not on holiday. #
  • Killing time reading the graffiti. It seems Amanda W isn't well thought of. #
  • To pint or not to pint? Paper thin walls and an clock radio that buzzes when within 100m of a phone are pushing me to the bar. #
  • I know that I'm not missing anything only having five channels but I wish I had a programme guide to know exactly what rubbish I'm watching. #
  • The fact walkjogrun.net redirects automatically to their iPhone app stops me wanting to buy it on principle. #
