- @helenduffett @stephenpglenn "Illustrious" – aw shucks. Wait, does that mean someone who's rubbish at being randy? Happy #nye 🙂 in reply to helenduffett #
- The table is set, 2011 awaits – seeing the #nye in with 3 Spaniards + a Welsh (@mssusieday) over a Mexican. Mmm. Or MMXI to be precise. #
- And here is said table. There's posh. http://plixi.com/p/66962443 #
- iFeliz ano nuevo! Have just eaten las uvas while watching the Santiago celebrations on Galician tele. iChin chin! #nye #
- Fuck me that was a heck of a London fireworks display. Sod austeriy in 2011, eh. #
- Up before 12, knackered but totally un-hungover. Comfort-watching an old Poirot, waiting for hot choc and churros. Hello 2011. #
- 4.20 pm is early to be getting a shower on New Year's Day, right? Thought so. #
- @Glenn_Goodall In my defence I've done all washing up + cleaned house. Next stop: lunch! in reply to Glenn_Goodall #
- @NickThornsby Good stuff – intrigued who you voted for…? (@libdemvoice Liberal Voice of the Year http://ldv.org.uk/22605) in reply to NickThornsby #
- @lordbonkers Erm, hadn't thought that far ahead. It's Liberal Voice of the Year 2010, so I'm thinking soon will be timely. (A week?) in reply to lordbonkers #
- @lordbonkers Many thanks 🙂 in reply to lordbonkers #
- @NickThornsby I'm sure being love-bombed by Lib Dems will be just the thing to keep Ken Clarke liberal 🙂 in reply to NickThornsby #
- Sort of enjoyed Elizabeth: The Golden Age. But not a patch on first film. Geoffrey Rush sorely under-used & anti-Spanish plot risible. #
- @davidallengreen @rikwilliams It's not the Mail journos who're the problem. It's their editor/proprietor. And above all the readers. in reply to davidallengreen #
- Re-reading @markpack's Liberal Democrat challenges for 2011 http://bit.ly/fX4nCT < excellent, thought-provoking series #
- @chriskeating You can mention the Spanish without comedy Blackadder-style 'Bastardo' accents or claiming Eliz. was defending an English God. in reply to chriskeating #
- @charlotteahenry I assume a Tory's linked thru to us urging a Cameron vote? Or else a Leftie wanting to 'prove' LDs are just Tory-lovers? in reply to charlotteahenry #
- @NickThornsby @charlotteahenry Guido tweeted it. He voted for DC. << Ah, was right about a Tory tweeting the link then. in reply to NickThornsby #
- @charlotteahenry Tbf, "I want people to see the truth. W'out informatn, you cannot make informed decisions as a public" is a liberal statemt in reply to charlotteahenry #
- @LibDemKitty You can be a Tory and not a member – same's true for LDs too 🙂 (Assumed Paul Staines was still tweeting as Guido.) in reply to LibDemKitty #
- @helenduffett Nah, that's cos I haven't got @artesea's technogenius to hack the code and keep 'em private 🙂 in reply to helenduffett #
- @charlotteahenry Don't disagree with you. Anyway I voted for Naomi Long 🙂 in reply to charlotteahenry #
- @charlotteahenry And a very HNY to you too. Relief to know you've fully recovered from #ldconf Glee Club. in reply to charlotteahenry #
- RT @jimthehedgehog is it bad that I can remember the names of the 3 people who finished above Jade in Big Brother? < Yes. (Kate, Jonny, ?). #

- The @libdemvoice Liberal Voice of the Year 2010 poll is open http://bit.ly/hRNW6p – who's going to get your vote? #
- @jpshaddock But we never have Lib Dems in the LDV Liberal Voice poll. The point of it is to recognise liberals who ain't Lib Dems. in reply to jpshaddock #
- @jpshaddock No probs. Suspect you won't agree with my scheduled post this aft arguing Cameron's a credible candidate! (Tho not my choice.) in reply to jpshaddock #
- @jpshaddock Sorry, just re-read your original tweet. I think the only one I'd really question is Manning. in reply to jpshaddock #
- Wrapped up and ready for my annual visit to Bicester Village retail outlet (to remind myself why I go only once a year). #
- @MarkRClay You mean hunting for a parking space, then traipsing round over-crowded shops of rude, barging people isn't your idea of fun? in reply to MarkRClay #
- @caronmlindsay He was nominated by a number of commenters on the original thread asking for names. in reply to caronmlindsay #
- Just about resisting temptation to totally pimp out my wardrobe from Dolce + Gabbana. A good thing I'm not rich. #
- @caronmlindsay I think we'd have had to include Assange: nominated by many folk. Fwiw, I voted for Naomi Long. in reply to caronmlindsay #
- @caronmlindsay Not sure – poll's usually open for 7-10 days. A few days yet to decide! in reply to caronmlindsay #
- RT @charlotteahenry Very good piece by @stephentall on why David Cameron is a legitimate 'liberal voice' http://bit.ly/dHZa4V << Thank you! #
- Ah, 7.30 am. We meet again, you bastard. #
- Indy front page claims Lib Dems at 11% is lowest ever poll rating. Heck, I don't like it but that's so clearly not true. #
- 'Nick Clegg may have to back down on scrapping control orders' http://bit.ly/gRlhoW (Guardian) > Put it another way: so may Theresa May. #

- @stuartbonar Optimism: the greatest (and most necessary) thing about being a liberal 🙂 in reply to stuartbonar #

- @DuncanStott 949/1 on offer via Betfair here http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/relegation in reply to DuncanStott #
- RT @TimothyJMoore @StephenTall gets flustered on @libdemvoice over bookmaker's press release http://ldv.org.uk/22651 <damn, going for ironic #
- @DuncanStott They apologised for "any offence" – http://bit.ly/eFiR9o – and I just wanted them to accept the bet. Shame 🙂 in reply to DuncanStott #
- Fancy "an interesting compensation package"? http://bit.ly/grMaT0 > European Liberal, Democrat and Reform (ELDR) group wants a head of comms #
- @alexfoster But who now will compensate your package interestingly? in reply to alexfoster #

- @rfenwick @alexfoster * gets own coat * in reply to rfenwick #
- @rfenwick Watch out for aubergines. They look easy. They're not. (With apologies to @alexfoster who's demurely ignoring the twsmut.) in reply to rfenwick #
- @rfenwick "from ELDR to anally inserted vegetables" Ooh, you've just split your infinitive. (Told you to watch the aubergines). @alexfoster in reply to rfenwick #
