@mrtonylee That’s one of those very hot forehead moments, I’m guessing. I often get a very hot forehead. Normally at moments like that. in reply to mrtonylee #
@jonronson Seems to be getting more outraged mainstream press than bailout! I’d happily pay my share of £10 without question but 10 billion? in reply to jonronson #
@Wossy Frente? Did a great version of Bizarre Love Triangle, & also Something Stupid. in reply to Wossy #
For @wossy. Well, not actually FOR him, just, you know, as discussed. I do NOT have a bizarre love for Jonathan… ♫ http://blip.fm/~3lrwt #
@Wossy Have you been reading Four Eyes by Joe Kelly? It is… the nearest thing to a damn perfect comic I have read in ages. in reply to Wossy #
@psychicsarah http://twitpic.com/2lxlt – Those are ludicrously cute… What breed? Were there only the 3 in litter, or are there more in … #
@RealBillBailey I hope the promotion that so many people are giving to The Wire’s broadcast will counter the BBC’s awesome bad scheduling! #
@sulman Ever thought of getting Quesada or JRJR on the show, see if you can’t get yourself a beautiful piece of art like JRJR did for TVAM? #
Girl One was groaning at the lack of romance in a CSI NY wedding. Until the montage of key moments in their relationship. She went aw dopey! #
@ferretprincess Saw 1st Brass Eye again t’other night. Seeing Paul Daniels implore us to help elephant with it’s trunk stuck up it’s bum… in reply to ferretprincess #
@ferretprincess … Now THAT’S magic! in reply to ferretprincess #
Whoops… @sulman, that OBVIOUSLY wasn’t meant for you. Though I think it’s about time someone gave you your own chat show… #
@wossy Any chance of having a Quesada or JRJR on the show, see if you can’t get yourself a personalised piece of art like JRJR did for TVAM? #
@psychicsarah That’s a really very tiny litter. Is that normal for the breed? Mine was one of twelve, but she’s a dalmatian, quite typical. in reply to psychicsarah #
@ferretprincess We are working up to a viewing of the Special next time @steevbishop visits… it is, I’d say, one of the best things ever! in reply to ferretprincess #
@ferretprincess Did you catch City Of Ember? Been trying to decide if that’s steampunk or something else entirely, but we liked it. in reply to ferretprincess #
@ferretprincess Well, as with all, ymmv, but there was something delightfully individual about the film’s approach… a proper modern fable. in reply to ferretprincess #
Dog just raised her head up from under the covers on the sofa, only to shake her head & sneeze all over Girl One & I. Lovely. #
@ferretprincess … but interestingly, despite plot issues, no holes that one could drive a potential sequel through. http://is.gd/jVae in reply to ferretprincess #
@psychicsarah Whereas dallies are apparently famous for it… in reply to psychicsarah #
@steevbishop Hmm… Wish that post had room for comments. It’s possible they’ve misunderstood how people use that @ symbol… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop … Like people sometimes filtering out other people’s @ replies, who might still like to see their @ mentions. I think. in reply to steevbishop #
@SamShepherd That’s an interesting story – think it’s very different here, but would be interested to see @sulman & @laineyw’s thoughts. #
Morning so far has almost entirely been spent to the tune of loud proclamations about how much of a tosser someone from another dept is. #
In the cold light of day, half expecting/dreading Wire backlash from people coerced into watching it whose cup of tea it will not be… #
@andydiggle They obviously realised they were running under time. It’s the Garth Marenghi school of film-making… in reply to andydiggle #
How anyone can use so much slo-mo in a world where this clip exists, I don’t know: http://bit.ly/uJwoi – 16:19 in. (Mainly @andydiggle) #
“I know writers who use subtext, and they’re all cowards.” #
@thoughtmecca You may be right, though I tend to think that if everyone liked the same things as me, the world would be a very dull place… in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca … full of incredibly intelligent human/alien hybrids. in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca I’m pretty careful about who I recommend stuff to – old comic selling habits dying hard. Wire just aired in UK for first time, in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca … and it’s other people putting the pressure on for people to watch it now…! in reply to thoughtmecca #
@Specsneedaclean Is someone asking you lots of searching questions ABOUT bagels? in reply to Specsneedaclean #
@steevbishop … & for sure, there’s a reason people started using the @ in different ways organically. It’s an elegant function at mo… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop … a way of using one symbol for two different needs that fits with the simplicity of Twitter as a system. in reply to steevbishop #
Oh, my… @alannucci, is it you? A friend & I were discussing the possibility of you on Twitter. @steevbishop, look who it is! It’s him! #
@laineyw Oh, our situation is very different here, so I’d say it’s unlikely. Apparently we don’t have the problem where it interrupts… in reply to laineyw #
@laineyw … academic use, & at least one of the schools uses Facebook a lot pedagogically, so I doubt it’s even a question here. in reply to laineyw #
@Specsneedaclean You know, I really don’t know. It’s a good question… Probably. Or a really obvious one that we just both don’t know. in reply to Specsneedaclean #
@Specsneedaclean Quite… you need to give them a try, else you’ll never get in touch with your inner New Yorker. in reply to Specsneedaclean #
@giagia They need to give you shots before you’re let into a recording studio, now? How dirty ARE those places? Or have I missed something? in reply to giagia #
@giagia Oh. Sorry, should have just kept on reading… in reply to giagia #
@steevbishop Like one of those awesome ground escalator things you get at airports? in reply to steevbishop #
@serafinowicz Is now really a good time to be trying to start new businesses, especially ones that require such a niche clientele? in reply to serafinowicz #
@serafinowicz I mean, who wants to enjoy their granola in public these days, with all the restrictions on smoking and such? in reply to serafinowicz #
@idsharman I don’t know… I think that joke about Pagliacci came from a pretty angry, depressed place… in reply to idsharman #
@steevbishop Actually, watching that with the benefit of hindsight, contestants on Gladiators were pretty good athletes, weren’t they? in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop … till you watch the more recent Saturday afternoon “sports” – like uh.. the one Hammond presents? – it seemed a bit silly. in reply to steevbishop #
@idsharman … True enough. Walk, sir! Walk for your life! in reply to idsharman #
@giagia In some ways this “No links to recommend. Unless you count this clip of a dog milking a goat:” is the perfect internet sentence… in reply to giagia #
@giagia Oh, now that’s just the height of too muchness… in reply to giagia #
@rhodri No, I think it’s just a sign that you lived through a particular period, and are typing. I hear it all the time when I’m writing. in reply to rhodri #
@rhodri Heh… that might fly. You could pitch it as a reality game show, and the funding would come flying in… in reply to rhodri #
Via Kevin: Star Wars/Dallas mashup: http://is.gd/pOjV. A little disturbed by what left hand Solo is doing at 1:11… #
… But ALWAYS loved haircare Chewie, and pretty glad that bit made it in. #
I want a McDonald’s Star Trek Meal! – http://bit.ly/l4fM – 2 odd things: No recognisable signature music or sfx for EITHER franchise… #
… & really, Star Trek The Motion Picture kid-oriented tie-in promotions? Didn’t anyone involved SEE that movie? Maybe ST4, but ST1? No! #
@steevbishop I know… it’s like some beautiful dream! in reply to steevbishop #
@girlonetrack Now, now, ma’am… one shouldn’t be so rough on the luddites. We do, after all, need SOMEONE to collect our bins and such… in reply to girlonetrack #
New prescription sunglasses ordered from @GlassesDirect; time to go meet G1 for ASDA! And then, grud willing, there will be Digital yums! #
