by Stephen Tall on September 23, 2011

Registration underway @oxfordalumni's #oxfordalumniweekend Best of luck with it guys! http://t.co/8J17baHc #
And the @oxford_thinking Campaign stand is ready for business. #oxfordalumniweekend http://t.co/FOhTmjWV #
RT @peterc Why the Oxford/Harvard comma is important (funny pic): http://t.co/DXoXirmO « Excellent! #
@markpack Congrats! in reply to markpack #
Good #hackgate cartoon on front cover of British Journalism Review. http://t.co/MGBERE63 #
RT @markpack Tonight I will be @stephentall. Anyone got a hat + more importantly his joke book? < NB #ldconf feel free to heckle this year. #
BBC's James Landale on #ldconf – a good, fair assessment here: http://t.co/v4tJ6ESO #
(Tho Lib Dem-haters may enjoy the unintentional(?) double entendre of the headline 'What lies ahead for Nick Clegg?' http://t.co/v4tJ6ESO.) #
Just turned on Sky News to find one of @millenniumdome's daddies being interviewed. (& some guy called Ban Ramm, bleugh). #ldconf #
@matttcasey Alas, not: work calls louder than #ldconf this year 🙁 in reply to matttcasey #
@matttcasey "Glee without the singing". Sounds good. Can we go 2 stages better: no sound or pictures either 🙂 in reply to matttcasey #
@matttcasey Lol will do -have a great #ldconf in reply to matttcasey #
@graemearcher Depends if you think the Govt is centre-right. Elections are won at the centre: that's where the LDs have dragged the Tories. in reply to graemearcher #
@graemearcher Not surprisingly, I disagree. Stopping excesses of Toryism has totally proved continuing need for a liberal party. in reply to graemearcher #
Just read Nick Clegg's #ldconf rally speech, embargoed til later. Lots of family values stuff; but the Lib Dem kind. #
@graemearcher *any group* – really? My point's simple: this Govt is more liberal for having Lib Dems in it. And that makes me happy (ish). in reply to graemearcher #
@graemearcher No probs, Graeme. No party has a monopoly on liberalism: I think LDs have more u think Tories have. Why we're in diff parties! in reply to graemearcher #
Missing folk at #ldconf this year. On plus side, just off to watch Tinker Tailor, then dinner at Oxford's new Turkish restaurant. #
Guardian's Andrew Sparrow highlights @libdemvoice members' survey results at 10.33am update here: http://t.co/IvNrz2kD #
Just applied for tickets to Paralympics 2012. Feeling more enthusiastic about them than I am the sessions we got for Olympics 2012. #
@lordbonkers I think he said he would. Not sure if he did, tho. @helenduffett will know. in reply to lordbonkers #
@CllrIainRoberts Surely @markpack and @helenduffett can remember what I look like? in reply to CllrIainRoberts #
Ooh, less than 3 hours to Downton. Excitement is building. #
@alexhilton I think I may be jealous of you, Alex Possibly for the first time. in reply to alexhilton #
I tell you straight: the riots would never bave happened if we cd guarantee every teen tearaway an #xfactor audition. #
@richard_morris_ @helenduffett I just wanted to prove the @libdemvoice Golden Dozen could make it against the #xfactor Case proven. in reply to richard_morris_ #
I've always loved the line "a fist of pure emotion". Ahh, takes me back to Norman Lamont / Julian Clary. #xfactor #
RT @IainDale Dale&Co: The Top 50 Liberal Democrats http://t.co/XQ9qAAvz « Congrats to @markpack and @OllyGrender #
Oxford University launches furniture range to raise cash http://t.co/WWTGvJdx via @Telegraph < What's Latin for 'never knowingly undersold'? #
'What is the Lib Dem position on ‘The Big Society’?' http://t.co/pO7nJES2 with thx to @thirdsector for their analysis #ldconf #
Okay, so on the plus side I've discovered the secret to getting a massive spike in blog readership: writing about the Oxford comma… #
On the minus side, I've almost exceeded stephentall.org's bandwidth for the month. So I'll keep my thoughts on ellipses to myself… #
@rfenwick @helenduffett And I so thought the National Trust had singled me out. So it's not a blogger's briefing then? #disappointed in reply to rfenwick #
@martijn_grooten Thank you 🙂 Tho cartoon not mine *adds hastily* in reply to martijn_grooten #
@GHmltn By getting a warning from my hosting service. Grammar cartoons are apparently the best blog pron going. in reply to GHmltn #
@alixmortimer @rfenwick @helenduffett @alexfoster Can I just say: Not a member! How middle-class do you think one is? in reply to alixmortimer #
@alexfoster Lol, only cos Habitat's closed 🙂 in reply to alexfoster #
I have missed many things about #ldconf this year. But not Glee Club. TY twitter for reminding me of the horror! #
2 jobs to get done before 6am: put out the bins, pack my black tie for tonight. Pure symmetry. #
Love this >> Q: How many sub-editors does it take to change a light bulb? A: Too. << h/t @popbitch old joke's home. #
The Economist's verdict on the Lib Dems: "they can live with being martyrs, but not with being thought Judases" http://t.co/YnJmr9Yv #ldconf #
@helenduffett *an all-nighter?* Madness, I tell thee. in reply to helenduffett #
Did you spot the JS Mill quote in Nick's #ldconf speech? "The only struggles worth having are the uphill ones" >> http://t.co/msuSYwsz #
