  • Grrrarr fuck, fucking WordPress! I just lost the post I’d done on Watchmen, Doomsday & Let The Right One In. The one time I’m not careful… #
  • Oh hey, you guys… you were ALL right about Portal. Even the song at the end is perfect. It’s left a little tear in my eye. #
  • That’s tear as in “beer”, not tear as in “bear”. #
  • …locals painted a clear picture of an odd & lonely person that they didn’t interact with at all. Technology/entertainment doesn’t drive… #
  • … psychosis, it just sometimes informs it. Did you ever read Warren Ellis unpublished Hellblazer story? He rants on about this A LOT! #
  • @jensaltmann Oh, agreed completely. It’s a thing that’s had me furiously angry since quite young, when Crash magazine got pulled apart… in reply to jensaltmann #
  • … by this same debate. Back then, it was violent images of barbarians & semi-clad women on the cover that caused concern. Interestingly… #
  • … no reported bare-chested sword-swinging murderous rampages to speak of around that time. #
  • @Sulman Hah… I believe the term is “Normal for Nicolas”. But yeah, I see that. Balanced against the character loss of multiple @replies… in reply to Sulman #
  • @Sulman … when people have long usernames, it makes sense the way I use Twitter. Mind, I get Tweetdeck to do the grunt work on that stuff. in reply to Sulman #
  • Have been asked by friend at last employer to go talk to adult learners about Graphic Novels & Elephant Words. Separately, I’m assuming… #
  • … Don’t feel qualified any more to talk about one, & no idea without context about the other, but there may be money! & free coffee! Yay! #
  • @jensaltmann It can’t even accurately predict the Whether… Hence, no accurate Whether forecasts… in reply to jensaltmann #
  • Oh, dear, I can’t believe I just made that pun… #
  • Does anybody know which comic publisher, if any, holds the license to the Res Evil MOVIE series? Something someone said has brain ticking… #
  • Can’t believe even the official label accounts at YouTube aren’t able to show most vids thumbnailed to me in the UK. I understand why… #
  • … YouTube have done this, but if they’re going down the route of making content unavailable, they should work out proper region filtering. #
  • Having to click on each thumbnail in turn to find something isn’t going to be visible to me frankly sucks, & makes for unhappy consumers. #
  • @Eamon_ You know, when you see them all lined up & tidy like that, it all kind of makes more sense… in reply to Eamon_ #
  • @jensaltmann Thanks! that seems to be the consensus! in reply to jensaltmann #
  • If a consensus of two works… #
  • @marcellerby DAMMIT! We watched that Tuesday, & I wrote lovingly about it last night. THEN LOST THE DAMN POST! Stupid WordPress… in reply to marcellerby #
  • It should be noted that despite my whingeing, WP has only lost 1 post in years of use & in fact normally errs on the side of TOO MANY saves. #
  • @Eamon_ Heh… that’s a fairly specific proverb, but it makes sense I guess. Mine are all in a box, somewhere. But under bed, not in loft… in reply to Eamon_ #
  • @Eamon_ … Not sure what that says about me! Actually, of course, I’ve already worked out one possible interpretation… in reply to Eamon_ #
  • Oh, zang! Sweet screengrab interpretation from ISB – GI Joe awesome: http://is.gd/n2KC #
  • @idsharman I’d say not. Listening to a song at a time on YouTube is NO substitute for listening to it on a player of some kind. I’ve tried! in reply to idsharman #
  • @steevbishop Totally agreed. What’s incredible is the leap in quality between third & fourth films! It’s like two different creative teams! in reply to steevbishop #
  • Huh. Just looked at my post about the 2 Futurama movies & I say 3 as much about the naff one as I do about the really good one. SO NEGATIVE! #
  • @Sulman Understood. Guessing you’re blocking out @ tweets somehow? Apologise for the confusion – as I said, we use it very differently… in reply to Sulman #
  • @Sulman … having said that, when someone has a short user name, like you or I, I try to include the @ in every related tweet. in reply to Sulman #
  • Quick question to everyone reading: What do you perceive as the Twitter demographic? Just been asked the question in a professional context. #
  • I of course have my own thoughts on why that is a trick question, but it would be interesting to have some actual live feedback on this. #
  • JONES! DOCTOR JONES! #
  • Huh, how odd… Missing tweet renders that correction tweet completely redundant. What I said was: #
  • Direct message me if you think your response is too trivial for public timeline, Reply otherwise… no time for hashtags, Dr Jones! #
  • Also, is there a consensus on what to call someone who Tweets? A Twitterer? And a collective term? #
  • @davidwynne Hah. And Tut. Now you’re just being precocious. in reply to davidwynne #
  • Wow… I mean, just wow: Frank Miller’s Charlie Brown – “That Yellow Shirted Such & Such” – http://is.gd/mJcM #
  • @davidwynne Never too old for that, no way, no sir. Nor to be put over my knee, young man. in reply to davidwynne #
  • Just testing out the Jiscemerge Twitter ap. Nothing to see here. #
  • @idsharman Leading question. What you’re trying to ask is: How many have violent games and haven’t gone on a shooting spree at school YET? in reply to idsharman #
  • @idsharman Nah… I’m not necessarily FOND of my parents, but I at least know who both of them are… in reply to idsharman #
  • Oh, la! Yahtzee’s review of Spiderman: Web Of Shadows has lots of goodness for comic as well as game geeks! http://is.gd/lMm9 #
  • BUT THEY ARE! @nikkicook, BUT THEY ARE! #
  • New Todd Diamond Economic Advice!: http://bit.ly/1JyeFP – I think there are metaphors in it, but I think I missed them because of the sexy! #
  • Did someone tweet earlier about a way to get DMs sent to your phone if you were in the UK? I’m sure I saw it, but can’t find the tweet, now! #
  • Oh jesus… Had forgotten how different Shirley is… The place smells of old white fast food… #
  • … That is stale chips, fries & MacDs versus sweet & sour of Indian & Chinese takeaway. #
  • Who are the McGregor family? There is a hastily scrawled note taped to the cardboard in the broken… #
  • … Front window of number 47. It says ‘The McGregor Family Left This House November 2006′. But why? #
  • The streets of Shirley around 5 make me feel like I’m living in a Ramsey Campbell short story… #
  • Who were they? Why did they leave? Why is it still important that it’s announced, such a lot later? #
  • How did the window get broken? & why, here & nowhere else, are there circling, fragile bugs, on me? #
  • … & why is there so little signal in that spot and nowhere else around here? #
