Wandering around a university waiting to meet a mate of mine. #
Just managed to avoid getting a parking ticket. Being polite and apologetic works sometimes. #
@Ryan Join us… Join us… Have you never #
…wondered why there are so many Reynolds around? #
and those two were directed at @euan #
About to iceskate for the first time ever. I may die. #
Not only am I alive but apparently I can also skate. #

Am old and near death. Year++ #
Wondering if I should write a piece for the Daily Mail. Could do with the money, but… Its the *Daily Mail* #
@whiskey_kitten about clean/dirty ambulances. #
Thanks for all the advice. Although it seems that my Twitter readers are all mercenaries. #
Currently struggling with the Daily Mail article. I feel like a whore. The ‘research’ they want me to comment on hasn’t been published. #
I feel like I’m writing utter fluff. It offends my artistic sensibilities. Why did I say yes? (Oh yes…the money – I want a new Mac). #
Trying to find a way to blame dirty ambulances on Polish immigrant benefit scroungers in an effort to please the Mail’s editor. #
What is ironic is that it is the Polish cleaners working for minimum wage at 4am in the morning that keep the motors clean. #
@Suw – Yep Unison had a press release but have not published their data that led to it. Hence the horribly fluffy writing. #

For some reason my iPhone stopped syncing correctly with my Macbook. I’d get a message along the lines of “Contacts failed to sync because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone” I’m the type of person who considers it a failure of character to call tech support.

So, after hitting the forums I stumbled across the answer.

Open the iSync application.
Go to the preferences of iSync.
Under the ‘Advanced’ section is a button that says ‘Reset sync history…’
Press that button.
It may be helpful to restart your computer.

And that should do it – it worked on mine at least.

(Next up a tip that will be handy for anyone who lives in a city with a public transport system)

Knackered. Will probably sleep for 14 hours after I get home. Disturb me at your peril postman for I sleep naked! #
Mwah-ha-ha-ha Have been given overtime covering the new year’s eve celebrations in central London. I am a glutton for punishment! #
(Now – how many drunk’s clothing can I cut in half that night?) #
erm… If any of my management are reading, that last was a joke.
Honest.

Really.

Promise. #
After 90 minutes of sleep today I begin to feel a little tired. #
Curious as to what @annapickard is watching. #
Having a strange desire to have an all night coding session. Spoilt only by having forgotten how to code. #
1 hour sleep in the past 32 hours and suddenly I’m wide awake with a churning brain. Sodding great. #

Thinking that GTTFD is *much* better than GTD. Kudos to @Ordinal #
Have reached that time of the night where, unless you are actually dying, you are quite unlikely to get sympathy off me. #
Oh dear. Someone’s been shot on my patch. Wonder if it’ll make the news? #
And was the double stabbing mentioned yesterday at all? #
@ordinal you wouldn’t be unique in trying that trick. #
Losing the will to live. And this I’d before I’ve seen any patients. #

I’ve been put on the FRU on a strange (and disturbingly clean) sstation. This means I am now carrying *four* phones. I am an important man. #
Only a hour to go before I stop dealing with drunks and get to to home to bed. #
Hoping that people have fun at BarCamp London – I shall instead be making a noise rather like a man sawing a log in half… #

@snowgoon someone was being annoying because they didn’t have haggis. #
Have been given a 3G skype phone to play with for a month. Am famous blogger! #
Suspect that my iPhone may have poisoned the well somewhat… #
@annapickard only out of my cold dead hands. #
@snowgoon Of course, I’d love to chat. #
@minfig where did you get it? I must have some! NOW!!! #
@Suw What’s that then? #
@minifig I am indebted to you. I must buy you a drink sometime. #
@warrenellis – Make your own http://www.smart.net/~tak/haggis.html #
@Warrenellis – Or order some online http://www.scottishhaggis.co.uk/ #
What the HELL is a ‘vegetarian haggis"?! #
@Suw Could do with a UK blogger type piss-up. #
Very sad that Verity Lambert died. #
Re: Veggie haggis, surely it’s just vegetables in a bag? Seems like a crime against nature/Scotland. #
@girlwitha1trackmind – No… you get to go to the House of Lords…<grin> #
@timd Hahahahaha, I’m guessing that they don’t have the strength to fight back. #
Leaving for work. Think kindly of me as you sleep in your warm beds while I wrestle with drunks. #
@ordinal – well, yes. But they shouldn’t be calling me (although you never know…) #
Bugger it. Crewmate is on leave, so will probably be sent to the far corners of the earth. #
Still single on station with 11 hours until the end of my shift. Not clockwatching at all. Nope not at all. #
