Not sure what you meant there, so googled twiggles.
Found its urban slang - and he's going to love this one.

twigglin
the act of being really XXXX up. It is used to describe being extremely drunk, high or tripping. It is not used, for example, if you just had a few beers.

I would say a Digital Voice Recorder is the way to go, basically the modern version of the old tape dictaphones.

Look like you can easily pick up a used one on eBay for under 20 quid that will record hundreds of hours.
