- 18:31 Going to the cinema has a lot of the fun taken out of it if you're in a wheelchair - who wants to sit in the front row? #
- 18:32 Mind you, it's quite decent of Cineworld to let the person accompanying the wheelchair-bound see the movie for free. #
- 18:36 Also: hats off to the DART staff - holding the last train for us was damn fine of them. #
- 18:38 It's fascinating to observe how people react to someone in a wheelchair - mostly for the better, so far. Older people tend to be the worst.. #
- 18:40 (and by old, I mean people past retirement age. Also women in their fifties who are out shopping. Teenagers should not have more manners!) #
- 18:42 I'd really love to see how gender affects the treatment of the wheelchairee... Wheelchairer? Mighty cyborg warrior? #
- 18:44 So far, we've had a hot girl in the driver's seat: how would matters change were I (a prototypically masculine entity) on point, as it were? #
- 18:49 Case in point: the train is filling up, but I still have four seats to myself. Clearly the masses would fear my cyclically enhanced state. #
- 18:51 Mind you, belligerance and sarcasm usually don't lead to doors held open, so the experiment might require a less... Forceful temperament... #
- 19:02 Completely off-topic, I wonder if I could submit a proposal (the oft-considered Masters, or a service expansion) in the form of a comic... #
- 19:05 Panel 1: A badly drawn avatar states "this is what you should do, it is the nuts!" #
- 19:07 Panel 2: An exceptionally flattering rendition of the boss / supervisor / etc, replying "Holy Gods, that's some thinking - have this money!" #
- 19:08 Panel 3: DINOSAURS. #
- 19:10 (All panels contain emphatic gesturing which clearly indicate the requisite ideas - such is the power of the hand waggle!) #
- 19:13 Panel 4: Brian builds a time machine because he gets fired for wasting time. Unfortunately, he travels back to panel 3, where he is eaten. #
- 19:47 Andrei Linde sounds like my kind of dinner guest... New Scientist has ruined me for hosting tea parties. #
- 19:52 Teenagers - bane of public transport. Teenagers who talk about Stephanie Meyer books and try flirting with me - Nyeargh! #
- 20:39 The atheist's dilemma: praying to science is less likely to have lightning strike where teenagers sit... #
- 20:44 It seems the Irish word for sex (gneas) is the pinnacle of feminine teenage discourse - I've heard the word 372 times in the last 5 minutes #
- 20:46 When did teenage girls become more annoying than teenage boys? I wasn't that bad at 17, and I was a complete plank! #
- 20:52 In less depressing news, the Death Note movies have an emotionally satisfying conclusion, unlike the manga. Misa is somehow less annoying. #
