- TIL that Upper Slaughter is a "doubly thankful" village with no casualties in WW1 or WW2 – and so has no war memorial
http://t.co/p7cuPVob # - …rather puts in context the number of villages which _do_ have War Memorials… #
- Pandemonium at Hartley Wintney WI – they've changed the layout of the tables! http://t.co/uDYEHttu #
- .@ramtopsrac it… was… terrible… nobody knew where to go to pay, grannies falling over each other like ninepins… utter carnage #
- MUST READ: RT @JackGavigan: In Defense of the Google Chef: http://t.co/yBDXY57Q – Greed rears its ugly head at Zynga. #
- @HantsPolice Depends on the granularity; I am clearly in NE Hants, but village-by-village or cross-border tweets might be hard to track #
- @HantsPolice For my perspective police-tweeting is best by region rather than team, unless you have some super-charismatic dogs tweeting? #
- @shortblue I prefer the Dutch approach – Pedestrians > Cyclists > Cars ; the arrogant militant gits amongst cyclists should be expunged. #
- QR-Code on bikini bottoms of GB Womens' Beach Volleyball team in #DailyMail http://t.co/5jAszxct so much for #prurience subtext #thumbring #

- Am reading @davidallengreen explaining more precisely "intent" to @CO11MetPolice, and what s.4 of the Public Order Act means #worthalook #
- @JackGavigan Good Q. The headline at s.4A http://t.co/2CvguDRQ seems to cover insult directed _at_ an individual? Query @davidallengreen ? #
- @davidallengreen Computer security does that to us, we tend to lean towards absolutism. That said am still confused re: s.4 vs s.4a offences #
- @davidallengreen So wd "Deliberately using abusive or insulting words or behaviour" be an offense under s4A? Cd one be booked for swearing? #

- Here's fun: if you have a blog in Lebanon the Government there wants you to register it http://t.co/yt9CJgmb #cantthinkwhy #censorship #
- Of course this also means the Lebanese Govt have decided the boundary of #Lebanese #Cyberspace to be "citizen's activities"-based #
- @churchnewspaper Am I right to understand that "The Church of England Newspaper" is unaffiliated / not actually an official CoE journal? #
- oh my god the #java generics syntax is ugly as sin – who on earth thought that looked pretty? #
- @shortblue the List<Foo> syntax has to the type info out-of-band; great, but why do it with HTML markup? shades of "#define" #
- @shortblue s/has to/holds/ #
- @bensummers Oh, great, so not merely is it ugly but it is not actually enforced at runtime? It's just syntactic sugar? #explainsaalot #
- @bensummers I would have Generics impl an interface with an "ofType()" method mandate setting it at instantiation, and enforce _that_ #
- @bensummers Then to hell with backwards compatibility … yah, when a .NET phone comes out, then maybe… #
- @shortblue See my suggested implementation for something more orthogonal; compiler could relax about anything implementing Generic #
- @bensummers If Generics typechecking is just syntactic compilation sugar, can you see a reason that Annotations are of a different syntax? #
- @bensummers Oh hells bells, I've just worked out why. What have they done to my very-nearly-pretty JDK1.2 language? #
- @bensummers I suppose they _are_ trying to compete with C++ nowadays #
- @bensummers Yum – raw memory malloc() in Java, crunchy goodness. Feeling like my estranged child has been booked for vandalism and self-harm #
- Call me paranoid, but why does my Airport Extreme claim to have a firmware update to 7.5.2 available, and also says it is running 7.5.2 ? #
- Mushrooms on toast, lightly fried in olive oil, then tossed in french butter. #
- @ianwalker Re Chi for Xmas, citation please? I had that argument with a Catholic once, and we found no evidence to support it. #
- @ianwalker Aha! So it is – thank you! TBF the agro was over the "it's a blasphemous secularisation" thing alluded to in http://t.co/5xyRsLq9 #
