Just landed at Heathrow. It’s disgraceful. Threadbare carpets, broken chairs propping open doors, no ceiling. #baa should see YVR.

Friday October 1, 2010 - 13:16

Jet lag really kicking in now. No sleep for what feels like 2 days, but is probably only 26 hours. My internal clock is protesting…

Friday October 1, 2010 - 16:26

@catspartacustwitter.com we landed safely in the 3rd world ‘port of Hea’throw.

@catspartacustwitter.com just ignore them. It’s either junk Twitter spam, or PhilMan has a secret identity…

@tchisles ah yes, the horror is certainly terminal 3. I’m flying out of #T5 on Tuesday and expect a slightly more welcoming experience.

Saturday October 2, 2010 - 08:52

Pets were a little confused this morning, as we woke at 2am and watched tv until 6am, then went back to bed. #jetlag is a bitch.

Saturday October 2, 2010 - 09:13

I don’t often get the chance to play on my PS3, but does it really need to update every single frickin time?

Saturday October 2, 2010 - 21:29

Good grief, did Len Goodman slip in a Nazi reference about Ann Widdecombe’s dancing in #Strictly? Awesome…

Sunday October 3, 2010 - 14:23

Relaxed? Of course I’m relaxed, why wouldn’t I be?

@khaitutwitter.com true but I wonder if existing small players may have something in the bag. #boxee and #xbmc. Plus appleTV has a bad rep so far.
