James Clowes was on trial one week for murder (poisoning) and the next he was back because someone had stolen some nails from him.
On the 17th of May, 1783 a 17 year old girl stole a gold watch from John Clowes.
She was found guilty and sentenced to death :/
Searching the Old Bailey’s website for cases regarding my ancestors.
Seemed people liked stealing from us.
Crap. Forgot I had a few pennies on Chelsea to win tonight at 1/4. Cool.
Wait. There’s an actual instrument called ‘hurdy gurdy’?!
Oh dear. The spiders are back. Ready your rolled up magazines!
It’s going to take me months to transfer all my @Spotify playlists to @Rdio! Very time consuming.
Tonight’s beer is from Laverstoke Park Farm: http://t.co/oImipLMJ
Always tastes best from the bottle.
They’re expensive to run, the phones are ugly and rubbish, and you only ever get spam calls.
Serious question: why do people have landline house phones? Surely there is no need for them anymore?
Just remembered this.
When I went to America on holiday someone broke into our house, read the porn mags, took nothing, and left.
I still can’t quite believe it.
We’re Champions of Europe!
I really didn’t think we’d ever get there.
This is a great day.
Holy crap. Just realised that Chelsea this season have mimicked me in Football Manager. Only difference is I finished 5th. cc @MrROakley91
Just too happy right now.
Quite how we’ve done this I really don’t know.
So proud.
Pleased for Cahill too.
6 months ago he was fighting for a regulation club. Now look at him!
That match nearly killed me.
Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea!
Not an emphatic win. But a win nonetheless.
Tonight we must thank Roman and co.
It’s oak aged for 77 days and you can really tell. It’s basically a whiskey beer.
Tonight’s beer is Innis & Gunn Original: http://t.co/rtQsx1LN
It’s lovely and strong and available in nearly all Sainsbury’s. Buy it!
Haha. The world’s oldest cave art (40,000 years old) is of female genitals.
Scratch that. I think it’s Ian Dury & the Blockheads who’s making me cheery.
Such a great lyricist was Ian.

‘London Lager’ is the right name. It’s as cloudy as the Thames.
It’s still a cheery beer though.
.@rdio is using 40mb of local storage on my Mac.
Spotify was using 5.2gb. Screw Spotify.
Todays consumption:

How many people are there on @rdio? Must be around 50 because Dylan’s “Blonde on Blonde” only has 48 plays!
They’ve also finally realised the importance of album covers. No more tiny artwork. They are big and bold now. Well done.
Okay. Ignoring it ripping off Spotify and killing sociality within the app I rather like this update now.
I mean the features are all still there, they’re just now either hidden or annoying.
In this update they’ve killed off one of their main advantages to Spotify: the social aspect of listening to music. Bad mistake.
I mean, how do they do that? Do they all have a meeting and say ‘okay, gang. Let’s copy our major competitor.’
They must know?!
