You’re so vain you probably think this tweet is about you.
“Look look! Someone said something nice about me!” Maybe ask yourself why such an event is unusual enough to be noteworthy.
I’ll say it again. RTing all the compliments you get is fuckin’ pathetic. Being your own fan club echo chamber FTL.
I’m an Australian, @R_Chirgwin, of course there is beetroot on the burger why would there not be you weird Communist freak?
I think I can trust these bastards to make a burger without fucking it up. Probably.
Those tweets weren’t as funny as you think they were.
Swearing at a Senator. Australians’ birthright.
Sigh. Another media release from Senator Wong about what Tony Abbott said. So. Fucking. Bored. With. That.
Re-crossing the Nepean.
Sure, of course I’ll reinstall all my software and reconstruct my production workflows because some arsehat has a favourite new toy.
“Foomp!”
@abcmarkscott Orly?
Previous tweet a quote from @mrbenjaminlaw’s @crikey_news yarn today. arseh.at/t1m
“There is an unbearably tense stand-off between a sea of Young Liberals and a man dressed as a platypus.”
@andrewdotnich @oliyoung I hate you. Obviously. But yes, “riffing on corsetry” is a phrase full of win.
Hey @crikey_news I don’t seem to have a @crikey_news today. Have I (perish the thought!) offended someone?
Oh RI win!
The train departs.
Fear not, I’m leaving town in 15 minutes.
Competition time! Complete this sentence. “Why doesn’t @jimschembri <insert your answer here>.” Note, I cannot cover your legal fees.
Uhuh. Boundary crossed.
@andrewdotnich You’re just daring me to make a joke about anal sex, right?
The clear message there for Wayne Swan is to frock up. The full whalebone.
Right, so we go on about “class warfare” and then watch “Downton Abbey”? Uhuh.
Yes, there is time for one more beer before the 1723 departs Central station. For some value of sensible.
Yeah, you guys remember the “B Ark”, right?
Oh do forgive The Media. It’s the Monday after Mardi Gras so they’re “proving” their “diversity” by running token stories about poofs.
@ataraxite Remind me to tell you about the psych research done by the ABC on audience complaints and the authoritarian personality.
My opinion? I reckon the behaviour being attributed to @jimschembri looks like nothing less than that of an egocentric bully, and worse.
“Jim Schembri goes after fake people, too”, it says here in @crikey_news. arseh.at/t1l
MT @paulwallbank: I suspect #SMEG s are more rapacious robber barons on training wheels… [Cue Terry Gilliam animation?]
@paulwallbank So that’s prima facie evidence that #SMEG == Communist, right?
I’m fairly sure “soliciting” is the word.
New “Patch Monday” podcast: “Cybercrime and the Russian mob”, plus @ChrisGatford on security stuff. arseh.at/t1j
Well, meetings are done. Enjoying the calm of a refreshing Singha before the train journey back to the mountains.
@gusworldau Clearly I’m more respectable and compliant than you are. Oh wait.
Amused that Art Coviello from RSA, having met me only 10 mins beforehand, called me “incorrigible”. Smart guy.
Scuttling down George St to my 1500 interview.
Well that was most adequate.
So, I have to have lunch at The Summit now. I’ll leave you to it.
My advice to @channel_21 would be to keep screeching loudly on Twitter because that generally makes up for every kind of incompetence.
Gawd, @channel_21 comes across as the kind of person you’d want to give the benefit of doubt to, yeah? Me neither.
Robotripping what even is it?
RT @jeamland: I can’t help but think that @stilgherrian has something to do with this. Or @dannolan. arseh.at/t1e
MattCowgill Profits in the retail industry were up 11.2% in 2011, total wages in the industry up 3.1%. Looking forward to the next penalty rate whinge.
The barista wears a shark’s tooth around his neck on a leather string. There his masculinity ends.
And such impressive dexterity! The whole shake and zip-up done with one hand, shouting all the while.
Yeah, mate, if you’re going to shout orders into your phone while standing awkwardly at the urinal, Cantonese is the language of choice.
expectproblems @stilgherrian That’s tragic. The last time I arrived at Central and had to go to Wynyard? I was killed. Let that be a lesson to you.
Stop talking French to me.
I am arriving at Central station, but I must continue on another train to Wynyard. The things I have to put up with!
Mind you, the very term “landlord” should go. If the arrogant bastards want “lord” in their title, well, the French Option should apply.
RT: Audio from the Recordkeeping Roundtable panel “Freedom of Information?” with @Ausflatfish @purfler and me now at arseh.at/t14
That’s right, @SnarkyPlatypus, dead people can’t own things. Except copyright, of course, which they can milk for decades.
Finally, someone’s doing an article on landlords from hell rather than tenant-bashing. Have you a story to tell? arseh.at/t1d
Actually, “Patch Monday” podcast filed! It took 6 mins to upload via Telstra Next G as the train sped from Parramatta to Strathfield.
Yes, @franksting, we should make mobile broadband more like the #NBN. That is, not mobile at all.
Crossing the Nepean.
The “Patch Monday” podcast is complete, but I’ve learned that uploading a 25MB file from a moving train is a fool’s errand.
Does it improve the picture if I tell you that the male backpacker has an ill-kempt Afro and is balding back to a latitude of 70 north?
Right. Earphones inserted, so I can edit my audio. At least I won’t hear the squelching.
German backpackers snogging? FFS I can’t face that on an empty stomach!
Well, I made it to the station but with insufficient time to grab some breakfast. Train arrives NAO!
@SnarkyPlatypus @jeamland More like “Logan’s Run”, given the demographics up here…
Cab arrives. Driver naturally blames operator. We now drive fast.
Right. Cab driver went to the wrong cottage, didn’t think to check back with base? Arsehat. Will I still make the 0931 train? We shall see.
Hmmm… If this cab isn’t here very very soon the day’s schedule will be toast.
Podcast links recorded just in time. Cab arriving momentarily, in theory. I hope I have enough #batterylife to edit on the train.
Messiah complex. Typical.
@R_Chirgwin Indeed. I check the bookings calendar regularly. I know it is always 100% accurate. ;)
@R_Chirgwin FYI, I’ll stay in Wattle Cottage through to Wednesday, I think, to photography more birds and maybe a few more of the house.
Mon plan: Record podcast links; 0931 train to Sydney, editing en route; 1230 RSA lunch The Summit; 1500 meeting; 1723 train back; thud.
Oh fuck, that’s right, I have to do The Long Commute down to Sydney and back today for a lunch briefing and an interview. Buggerama.
Monday. Uhoh.
