Attention difficulties

When you’re lying across the front seats at the top of the bus, it’s really easy to miss your stop. #

I really feel the different languages one hears in this country are beautiful. Beautiful and embarassing, as I don’t speak them. Damn. #

Now I have to buy a Megarider, all bus routes are open to me. I’ve just got overexcited and boarded an 84. I think we’re going via Wigan. #

I wish there was a way of sharing links on Opera Mini. I do a suprising amount of my reading on Mini these days. #

Very warm welcome to the North @cubicgarden (Ian Forrester), I’m a southerner too and they treat me passingly well, so don’t worry too much. ;) #

Disappointed not to have made it over the Pennines for GeekUp Leeds, although plenty of good work has got done. Off for fish & chips now. #

Frank Turner himself was great, albeit overwhelmed by the ambient noise at points. He’s a very unassuming man on stage. #

Next act is immediately appealing. Vituperative cockney musichall pi-ann-er playing lady. Loving it. #

At a gig. First (support) act have rayon shirts, and black electricians tape on their cheeks. Interesting look. #

Kids on the bus with neat haircuts trying to be bad. Singing along to the loud tinny stereo, but stumbling over the word fuck in the lyrics. #
