Considering going on the @balf weight-loss plan. But I suspect it involves cycling 30km a day in cold rain. Incompatible with kids+commute.
In Bournemouth to meet Jon Wardle at CEMP and Prof Heppel. The south coast train route from Hove is ocassionally beautiful.
On train to south coast after v quick drink to celebrate @philgyford’s wedding. Lovely to catch up with fellow haddocken.
About to start on my panel about politics and web. Will be checking #omc09 afterwards for hecklers.
#omc09 There’s a strange squeaky echo in the main conference room- sounds like dry marker on whiteboard, or trainers on a basketball court.
Routes goes live! Www.routesgame.com well done @mikeyb @mildlydiverting @joroach et al. Breeder is *ace*!
Ed Richards, not ‘We’ Richards. He’s actually quite tall.
#omc09 it’s all gone a bit quite on the tweeting front, as the delegates retired to smoke-filled rooms for plotting. We Richards up now, tho
#omc09 Will Perrin is the *spit* of Harry Hill today. “public innovation or market forces? There’s only one way to find out. FIGHT!!!!!”
#omc09 BBC’s Canvas- is this just an attempt to do Kangaroo without annoying the Competition Commission?
Richard Halton at #omc09 -“R&D is in the DNA of the BBC”. Too many TLAs IMHO.
Andy Burnham: “The Channel 4 brand for viewers is here to stay”
Burnham also says that BBCW/C4 partnership is the most interesting option, but many others need to be looked at.
Off to Oxford to watch the vultures.
I’m embarassed we’ve won this match. Burnley outplayed us for all but 30 mins of the two legs.
Burnley totally deserve to win this. We’ve just not even turned up.
We brought on Gareth Bale. That’s what’s gone wrong.
Oh Christ.
Ad for co-op funerals in the break before extra-time. Spurs hopes of retaining this cup ate already six-feet under…
Everything is just too damn *interesting* right now, it’s hard to know what to do first. Ah yes- watch Spurs beat Burnley.
Watched Obama with my 4yrold. Had to try and explain racism to her. Tough ask, but exactly the right context to do it.
