This is my personal Twitter account where I rarely post about goth music, roleplaying games and politics. You'll find me much more active over on @CotswoldJam where I tweet about the Raspberry Pi and related computing topics.
Hey @O2 - Cotswold Designer Outlet opened yesterday, it was busy but not packed-to-the-rafters busy, but your network was overwhelmed. Can you review capacity for Tewkesbury, Ashchurch and Northway residents please? GL20 7FY #Tewkesbury #Cotswolds cotswoldsdesigneroutlet.com/
The missus bought magnetic fridge poetry. I relabelled several so that Baldrick's magnificent war poem is possible. I wonder how long it will be before anyone notices? @Tony_Robinson #blackadder
Video of the "suite" on @dfds_ukire Newhaven - Dieppe route. This has a double bed, bunk beds and a TV lounge. Recommended.

Finally got through to @SF_England to support my daughter's student loan. "Your system can't find my account." "What's the email address?" "In 1990? [email protected]" "Don't you mean .ac.uk ?" "Not in 1990, no."
Am I just a tight-fisted so-and-so who buys cheap rubbish cables/adapters, or are all Micro HDMI connections prone to futzing out at the slightest sneeze?
Three in a week. I never get this problem with full size HDMI and I can't recall ever having this problem with Mini HDMI.
Ahoy @pimoroni , yon security certificate for pimoroni.com went overboard to Davy Jones' locker at twelve bells last night. Get yer shipmates to spend some doubloons so I can command my quartermaster to buy a @Raspberry_Pi 5
'tis done! The good ship pimoroni.com is no longer beached on the shores of SSL expiry. I can spend my employer's pieces of eight!
Apparently the @usairforce has trouble identifying the octagonal flying objects that it shot down recently. @EliteDangerous can you help? bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana…

Assorted "Black Friday" discounts from maker resellers, with small print saying that Raspberry Pi boards are not included. They might as well say that unicorns and flying pigs are also not included.
Hey @youfibre here's a loving but deeply nerdy review / set of tech notes from me as a new customer:

This Friday is "Druids in Aldi Day", a highlight of #Tewkesbury Medieval Festival @AldiUK @Tewkesbury
Dear Alexi Sayle, can your Imaginary Sandwich Bar please recommend some suitable snacks for anti-royalists forced to endure jubilee street parties? I note the Peak Frean Trotsky Assortment is sadly no longer available.
