Maybe try @GooglePay ?

@dpfdpf The local primary school and the US Government still insist I write them cheques occasionally.

@auchmill So you thought you'd hop on over to twitter to work on your long-form prose?

@saniac so they can localise the weather icon/report for you.

@petrajane I don't disagree, but can see how some readers might go there. Research needed, just downloaded the long stories to re-read.

@petrajane I don't think "addict" is an unreasonable inference, especially for a reader with contemporary knowledge/attitudes on addiction.

@petrajane Though in A Study in Scarlet Ch. 2 Watson assets the "temperance and cleanliness" of Holmes life precludes narcotics.

@petrajane Certainly he was a user. The Sign of Four, first page. "It is cocaine... a seven-per-cent. solution. Would you care to try it?"

@simcul We did LAX on the way in. Massive queues. Staff nicer than I remember though.

Hi @AlexArchivists, @NLNZ: Any idea how many bibliographers (people who write about books) there are in NZ? @simcul wants to know.

@simcul Hey I got stuck again in SFO 2 weeks back. Only two hours, but in a plane with two kids up late--and no alcohol. Felt much longer...

@simcul Where bibliographers means....?

@percent20 nzherald is worse for me, often fails to load its fonts at all (Chrome/Mac). #reload

@norightturnnz "manspalin"? Nice mental image.

@finnatic We've had long discussions in the office about that suugestion.

Ever wonder how many newspapers have been published in New Zealand? Me too: nznewspapers.appspot.com

One of these things is not like the others... (thanks @guardian)

@nzben No, couldn't make any sense of it, turned it off.

@petrajane I've only just realised you were snarking about race relations, not librarianship.

@gpay Applause for the idea of ditching the Matangi trains and bringing back the English Electrics. #jville #squeakytrains #no #no #no
