I told my son about Lego's excellent #BuildToGive , where they donate a set to a child that wouldn't otherwise get one. It was supposed to be just one ornament, but he gets carried away...😀

Someone needs to sell Farnell and RS some small, cheap computers to run their sites so they won't be overwhelmed by demand for #Raspberry_Pi

Who uses the dark side of the force to cure headaches? Anadin Skywalker.

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

@lxbxr 'Folkers', maybe?

A belated Happy Christmas to all, especially my old mate Hermi, whose Japanese seems very convincing now - of course really I have no idea!

Weather has forced me on to the bus. As I sit here on the lower deck I see a stream of brown snow melt flowing under the seats on the left.

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

The last election was close, right? So what sense does it make to alienate the next 5 years of new voters?

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

If I was still a student, hope I'd be supporting the (peaceful) protests. 9k fees per year way too much. We thought we had it tough.

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

Remake of 'Sleuth' (the one with Jude Law) worse than original, but - without spoiling it - end of mid section still genuinely surprising.

Apparently bus DIDN'T hit car, just stopped an inch away.

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

Just been in accident on bus. Car in front just stopped and bus went into back. One bus passenger hurt sadly.

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

Flat tyre on bike forces me to take bus. Bus late. Will be late for appt @ work. At least Oxford traffic not at its worst. But still: aargh!

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

Just cycled - carefully - past a large cow on the Banbury Road cycle path. The police were there, looking rather sheepish. *ahem*

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

Having a great time at my friend Michelle's birthday drinks.

Surely the UK needs the talented and hard working to stay? Petition for #xfactor 's #Gamu: http://www.gopetition.com/petition/39599.html

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

Some people are suggesting tactical voting on the #xfactor to protest about Gamu's omission. Simon Cowell will love that - more $$$.

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

Rumours that The #xfactor will change the rules *again* so the intriguing Gamu goes thru after all- might still be worth watching this year.

Upgraded my Googlephone to the latest operating system, 2.2 (Froyo). First impression: is noticeably faster.

[Garry Lancaster @garrylancaster]

Hunting a neighbour's missing tortoise in north Kidlington. Can't have got far, surely?
