  • 08:29am: @spaceboy Come ON Radio 4, you couldn't find someone to give the Pope's message the hammering it deserves!? That was feeble and appalling.
  • 08:32am: And don't get me started on 'Thought for the Day' today. Nothing more than blatant free advertising / propaganda for the C of E. Shocking.
  • 08:33am: (No idea why that other Twitter was @spaceboy. Weird.)
  • 09:04am: Oh dear, Elgato's EyeTV forums have been hacked: http://forums.elgato.com/ Looks like the hackers have emailed all users. Not good.
  • 09:35am: Joining @smagdali in writing middle class, middle aged complaints to the BBC about Today. http://tinyurl.com/5fxcuw
  • 09:38am: @alanconnor About the show's apparent inability to find anyone to provide a view opposing the Pope's crazy one on homosexuality.
  • 10:37am: Sharpening elbows for festive trip to Waitrose. Have I forgotten anything off the list?
  • 01:43pm: Darn... two CDs of backed-up old applications from a few years ago fail to read properly. Should have kept them moving...
  • 02:21pm: Making the mince pies, listening to the tunes, ho ho ho.
  • 05:30pm: Despite festivities, still fuming.
