[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

This place is a CSAM-friendly Nazi bar.

Shame. Used to be a fairly nice place.

I'll be at @nick.gark.net

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@Identatron @Grady_Booch I shall send you the proposal.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@JimDaws93102644 Well *obviously* I’m jealous!

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@richardgomer Lecturer minimum for us is £38,205.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@emax And the lecturer minimum at our place is £38,205.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@emax It’s going to hit HE hard - £38.7k is halfway up the pay scale for research fellows.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@JimDaws93102644 Ooh, fancy!

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@Nicki_SotonLib Also: spectacles rhymes with Heracles

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@moongazer8 @JonMarkHicks Ooh. I think that I had both. Wonder what happened to them?

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@DameWendyDBE @BBCBargainHunt Hope it heals well and you’re feeling less sore soon.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@Identatron @RobBlackUK Really excellent Sichuan food, with dishes that you don’t find on the menus at most restaurants in the UK (lots of offal, for a start).

@lescarr (excuse me if I wax lyrical for a while - the South Bank remains one of my favourite places in central London)

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@lescarr It’s great until the Xmas crowds start, then it’s awful.

The South Bank is at its best at 8am on a crisp Sunday morning in spring, before the booksellers have set out their wares and you can hear the skateboarders in the undercroft all the way from Hungerford Bridge.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@JonMarkHicks Excellent soundtrack too (and a Daft Punk cameo).

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@biomassart Ngggh. I do not have the space. I really don’t have the space.

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@Grady_Booch Blimey. This was not how I expected to hear that hixie had left Google (we first met when he was a callow undergraduate and I was doing my PhD - I introduced him to W3C and Web standards).

[Nick Gibbins @nmg]

@Kavey Oh no, this is purely a non-work thing. I was given the long arm stapler by an SF fan friend who had been using it to bind fanzines.

In fact, a large part of my printing at work is *whispers* not for work.

@angelajnewton @bugsandfishes They’re game changing. You will not have realised how many things are worth turning into A5 saddle stapled booklets.
