I admire your ability to come up with something amazing in one of those seminar things but I haven't hoovered since last summer. No way dude.

The number 11 bus <a href="http://thebounder.co.uk/blog/416/outer-circle-psychogeographical-report/" rel="nofollow">'psychogeography' report</a> was a useful intervention although it was a tad condescending about Bournville (although if you spent longer here you'd probably write even worse stuff). However, will this fall down on the geography of where the twitter community live? I'm not saying everyone on twitter is in south brum but we're probably going to learn a lot about the city if we swap Moseley with Falcon Lodge rather than Kings Heath with Bournville.

I have a wife, a 9 year old son, two cats and serval goldfish. Which do I bring with me, and which can I leave behind to be looked after by my visitors?
