  • RAC not interested in keeping me as a customer, and not even called them out. #fail Oh well plenty of other breakdown companies. #
  • Dayum! Fill in all your details, get a quote, read all the t&cs, enter you credit card, click BUY NOW, and then, only then, the site fails. #
  • Ha ha, it did work after all, just had email confirmation. Hello Green Flag! I'm a new customer! #
  • So I just saved myself £75 for the same breakdown cover. Supposed to pay £165 to RAC, offered £140, since that's the online rate…. #
  • …they said no, and weren't interested in keeping me as a customer at all, so went with Green Flag for the same cover at £90. #
  • Trying to book holiday – ummed and ahhed, then decided yes. Price went up £100 in the five minutes I took to decide, then the site crashed! #
  • Bought a colour printer/scanner/copier with the money I saved on breakdown cover today. Wireless too! #fb #
  • Needed one to scan my passport tomorrow for my UAE visa. Photocopier function will come in handy I guess. Doubt I'll use the printer much. #
  • OMG – a printer with a USB cable in the box! #
  • Installing my new printer – very exciting! #
  • Impressed with the mini step by mini step complete idiots installation guide… #
  • 10 steps for putting in the ink cartridges, lol! #
  • Oops, wrong button! #
  • London Victoria today, renewing my passport. #fb #
  • OMG – Westfield is huge! So much to buy and no money to buy it with! #fb #
  • has a new passport! #fb #
  • Updated the theme on my blog. "Warning: all customisation will be lost" means just that, lol. Dayum! Forgot how much customisation I'd done! #
  • Now I've forgotten what colour I was! #
  • It's # 7A1E99 – Yay! Twitter to the rescue! #
  • Oh dear, all gone wrong! Don't you just love cascading stylesheets! Think I might just have to start all over again and choose a new theme! #
  • Ha ha @TomFidler – and now Rich is feeling sorry for me too, so he's making me a cup of tea and giving me half his chocolate brownie! in reply to TomFidler #
  • There are some great #wordpress themes. Quite like the 'Smells Like Facebook', lol. #
  • Okay so the new and improved #wordpress blog at http://www.pafoster.com is now working. Not that you'd notice the minor differences! #
  • Just remember that when you update a theme in #wordpress you DO lose any customisation. It does warn you! #
  • Right, now to sort out my MSN. Mine mysteriously failed earlier today and I haven't been able to sign in. I'm feeling very lonely! #
  • Feeling very lonely! My MSN isn't working. We keep having handshakes, but they won't accept my cookie! Obviously not hungry! Dayum! #fb #
  • Ummm, not good. Can't even sign in to MSN via my web based eBuddy account. #
  • Drawn a blank on MSN. #
  • Yay! My MSN is working again! #
  • Really needs to get some decent sleep. #fb #
  • Weekend of work again… #fb #
  • is at home again. #fb #
  • Funny how the oddest searches on Google end up with a visit to my blog: http://bit.ly/47Wn0f #

  • Typical, I joke that's it's so hot that my mackbook is sweating, and a spammer tries to sell me a cure for my embarrassing sweating problem. #
  • They have some very fast readers over at the @OffCut2009. The deadline was 5pm Monday, and now, less than 48hrs later, they have… #
  • …chosen their 24 plays from the 'overwhelming number of submissions' and emailed everyone else! #

  • is screaming bullets under the ocean… #fb #
  • decided against the train option. had no idea how inconsiderate it is. epic delays to southampton, and back. two separate fatalities. #fb #
  • got to the North Circular before he realised he'd missed the M25 on his way down the M11. #fb #
  • Been working at Newmarket Racecourse again. Served lunch to Boyzone, and chatted with them after their gig. Nice guys. #

  • Playing with Adium, and very good too. Excellent MacOS IM alternative to Mac:Messenger. http://www.adium.im #fb #
  • OMG – Guess who's been asked to go to Abu Dhabi for 10 days to work at their Grand Prix! #fb #
  • Just applied online to renew my passport. Very easy. #
  • London bound, and late, lol. #
  • Stood next to Robert Lindsay outside the Royal Court today. Wanted to tell him I'd have a play running there one day, but didn't. #fb #
  • A little deflated today. Ho-hum. #fb #
  • The word 'shit' comes to mind… Again. #fb #
  • Going to Weymouth Sunday – £10 return with SWT Midsummer Madness Offer. Don't tell everyone though, I want a seat! http://tinyurl.com/kmwlh #
  • Great! My first and probably only invite to a barbecue this year and it's pissing it down. #fail #
  • Heard about a new entry in the Kama Sutra last night. It's called the Plumber. Apparently you stay in all day and nobody comes. #
  • Saturday, and hoping to be able to do something other than sleeping or roaming the internet in a daze. #fb #
  • Now wireless in the little bedroom – FTW :D #fb #
  • Blogging – been a while. #
  • T-Mobile (UK) makes Twitter's UK text number 07624 801423 an International Number, and so charges accordingly. Just cost me 60p! #epicfail #
  • So what's the point of having unlimited texts on my T-Mobile if I can't use them to tweet? #fail #
  • Time for an iPhone methinks. But I'm waiting till October since allegedly O2 will be losing their exclusivity! http://tinyurl.com/ndqa5 #
  • Brilliant! http://www.fuckthiswebsite.com/ (via @mfhorne) #
  • Home from Weymouth. £10 return on SWT Midsummer Madness Offer very well spent; and judging by a full 10 carriage train, very popular too. #

  • Interesting week ahead. Psychiatrist first this morning, then off to Bristol with Rich. Seeing Tyntesfield tomorrow, then Banksy on Weds. :) #
  • Back from Bansky v Bristol Museum. 2hr queue, but well worth it. Go see! #fb #
  • Good morning. A day at home catching up with stuff before I whizz off to Silverstone again for the weekend. #
  • http://bit.ly/9zELs #
  • Working in the BRDC again, though just had a phone call. Only needed Sat and Sun now. #
  • Oh and the Pussycat Dolls are performing Saturday night. So I might well get to work with them again, lol. #
  • Checking out the iPhone again. #fb #
  • Bollocks! O2 have sold out of the 3GS 16GB. #
  • And why do they have to charge for tethering? #
  • Small Business tariff – 300mins 50txts. Thirty four quid a month for THREE fucking years and they still want another £175 for the phone!!!!! #
  • "Tethering", @alexgdowding, is a neat thing whereby you can use your iPhone as a modem by bluetoothing with your laptop. in reply to alexgdowding #
  • Currently on a 350min, unlimited texts, 30 day notice deal for £14.50 a month. (T-Mobile) #
  • Beginning to wonder how O2 are, allegedly, getting away with this. The word monopoly comes to mind. #
  • These extortionately expensive iPhone tariffs are depressing me; so this penniless playwright is now off to Morrisons for the food shopping. #
  • Just had a sudden jump in followers so a big HI! to my new ones, including new band @waylayers, who I'm looking forward to seeing live soon. #
  • http://twitpic.com/b8qwn (via @waylayers) I'm guessing the Lynx comes in handy, lol. #
  • Spending the afternoon sending 'Spaceboy' and 'Room 20' off to various competitions and theatres – time to get the word(s) out. #fb #
  • Still trying to start eating my breakfast btw. Mango and peach smoothie staring at me, lol. #
  • Don't you just love the recession. On my ISA last month I got £15.01 in interest. And this month? #
  • 61p #
  • Gunna try an experiment. I bet, in the following month, I can FIND on the pavement more money than I can earn in interest on my ISA. #
  • Ever get the feeling you're going nowhere fast? "Navigation gone astray, went anyway I could…" #fb #
  • #listeningto Artist (Erasure) Radio feature on Spotify #
  • Well that's me done for yet another day, night all xx #
  • lml #fb #
  • One of those pretty useless days where I doubt I'll actually get round to doing anything reasonably constructive and meet a deadline or two. #
  • Brilliant… http://bit.ly/4mRn61 (via @Andy_Francis) #
  • Off to Silverstone for a couple of days… #fb #

  • At the Ricoh in Coventry, watching them set up for the Oasis gig tomorrow. #fb #
  • I'm managing one of the corporate hospitality areas overlooking the stage. Set up for 250 covers today, and now wondering what to do. #
  • I'm staying in one of the corporate boxes that double as hotel rooms. Very nice too. Don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight though. #
  • They'll be setting up all through the night. Times like this I really wish I had an iPhone. Could have posted some great photos. #
  • Was here a couple of weeks ago doing the Take That concerts. #
  • A bit weird watching them build these concert stage set up things. Loads and loads of big men in shorts and fluorescent tabbards… #
  • … but not a lot appears to be happening. #
  • I'm sure it is. A bit like waiting for the kettle to boil I suppose. #
  • It's stopped chucking it down so I'm off to tescos for a walk. Will see if it looks any different here when I get back! #
  • Back. There now testing the huge screens. The left screen has 'left' written on it. No prizes for guessing what's on the other one! #
  • Was told in the briefing this morning that Oasis fans are completely different from Take That fans – No shit Sherlock! #
  • Apparently Oasis fans drink alot. Loads of discussion about managing the long beer queues. Glad I'm not gunna be any where near them! #
  • OK for those that need to know re support acts for Oasis at Coventry Tues 7th July (@DigitalDiablo) … #
  • Gates open 3.30pm #
  • 3 Piece – 5.00 to 5.30pm #
  • Twisted Wheel – 5.45 to 6.25pm #
  • The Enemy – 6.45 to 7.45pm #
  • Oasis – 8.15 to 10.10pm #
  • Curfew – 10.30pm #
  • lol, 3 Piece, might even be Free Peace! #
  • ooooohhh flashy lights time! Just testing the blue ones! Shows up the rain though. A different colour please? Blue's getting boring now! #
  • All quiet on the westren front. Must have gone for a tea break. Gunna have a wander on the pitch, since there's no one there… #
  • 18,000 on that pitch tomorrow! #
  • Oasis set up on hold for a bit. Watching Torchwood! #
  • we are coming – back! great stuff! #
  • well i've had my torchwood fix, shame i'll miss the rest of them this week. have to catch up on iPlayer at the weekend. #
  • Sat in the press box now. Not every day you get to watch them set up an Oasis concert. Chocolate muffin and peppermint tea to hand… #
  • Dark now, so the lights look really effective. White, if you were wondering. Testing them with the smoke machines. #
  • Round abouts where the elephant appeared during Take That, there is now a fuckin great sturcture the size over two double decker buses…. #
  • One on top of the other. Can make out all the computer screens, so obviously the control desk. Pity anyone at the back of the stadium… #
  • Sort of blocks the view of the stage somewhat! #
  • Assuming, that is, you can see over the beer tent! #
  • Loving the gobo's! #
  • Lol, Sat up in bed with a full view of the Oasis stage watching them practice the lighting routines! #fb #
  • Okay, so I'm now getting a little pissed with the blue ones. Very pretty yes, but please can we have a different colour! #
  • Gunna be a bit boring with just blue and white lights! #
  • Got the screens back on now. One huge left, one huge right, and five smaller ones across the back of the stage. #
  • woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! #
  • Wondering if now would be a good time to streak across the pitch, lol. #
  • Morning All. They've started the sound checks here at the Ricoh. The bass goes right through you! And the sun's out too. Yay! #
  • One of the lighting bars across the stage is down, so I guess they're replacing one of them. Sure they must have a few spares, lol. #
  • Great light show last night. Fell asleep about 1am and it was still going on! Visual screen stuff good too. #
  • Food service for me will pretty basic today. 250 for a 2 course. Roast Chicken for main and Summer Fruit Pavlova for dessert. 25 staff. #
  • Intend to watch as much of Oasis as I can tonight. I'm in the EON lounge on the third floor overlooking the length of the pitch. Great view! #
  • And getting paid too! Nice one! #
  • Lots of activity on the stage now. Sound checks for the drums and keyboards atm. And still fart-arsing about with the stage lighting rigs. #
  • Funny how light travels faster than sound. I can see the drummer bang with his stick, then hear it through the massive sound system after. #
  • Liam is doing his sound check! #
  • "yeah-seven-pounds-fifty-two-cars-notes-brussels-yeah" #
  • Right, gotta go. Time for my hospitality briefing! Gunna be a great show! #
