  • @thoughtmecca Hah… As a literary experiment of some description? in reply to thoughtmecca #
  • @Plustenstrength @thoughtmecca Hah… As a literary experiment of some description? #
  • @Plustenstrength Ah, I think I got that. Was just suddenly all excitable about Ms Fink ‘cos of your mention of her. She is teh awesome. in reply to Plustenstrength #
  • @mrtonylee Is that seriously your first exposure? I love it, but was surprised that it was Girl One’s cup of tea. She is insane for it… in reply to mrtonylee #
  • @mrtonylee …Have you watched all three? Also, have you watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force? It is in a similar chaotic mode. in reply to mrtonylee #
  • @Schofe …Change up the format so you can have them both? I think a f-m-f seating arrangement wouldn’t be TOO much of a compromise… in reply to Schofe #
  • @SamShepherd Hallo again! You were missed! How was the marathon? in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @SamShepherd Quite an interesting post, but I struggled with the lack of a proof-read. I’m no grammar-queen by any stretch, mind… in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @SamShepherd Is there a term for typos that are caused by changing tacks on a sentence, but forgetting to delete bits from the earlier pass? in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @SamShepherd (Orphan grammar?) in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @DaveMcKean Watching/Listening to it now… lots of fun indeed. Wouldn’t have expected Danny Kaye to be able to hold his own with Armstrong! in reply to DaveMcKean #
  • Much as I say I don’t really take it personally if people don’t follow me, it still gurgles me when I recognise a name in a Qwitter batch… #
  • … That was a familiar name free batch of Qwitters, so yay! #
  • @steevbishop Well, not bothered so much as curious. There is a middle-ground. & you don’t really USE Qwitter. You sign up out of morbid… in reply to steevbishop #
  • @steevbishop …Curiosity, & then find that you’re not bothered enough to bother quitting the service. in reply to steevbishop #
  • @steevbishop Doing everything in TweetDeck, so otherwise have NO sense of follower base. What I COULD do with is a service that tracks… in reply to steevbishop #
  • @steevbishop …when Twitter unfollows ME from someone. I’ve heard it does it sometimes, & I’d hate to think I’d miss something! in reply to steevbishop #
  • Alan Cumming’s character in L Word mentioned a condition I think I might suffer from: MMS – Might Miss Something syndrome. It is a problem. #
  • @steevbishop Used to have a knee-jerk reaction to try services like that, is all. I recently made same decision as you RE: follower e-mails. in reply to steevbishop #
  • It’s not the cough that carries you off, it’s the coffin they carry you off in. #
  • @SamShepherd As always, the danger is when an org sees something that works well in 1 context, decides it’s a cure-all/applies unilaterally. in reply to SamShepherd #
  • Oh, Blip.fm, you’ve failed me… I will have to look elsewhere… #
  • Angela by Bob James: http://open.spotify.com/track/7aYVjPb5Dqq3H3YT5aIe1Q #
  • Hill Street Blues by Mike Post – http://open.spotify.com/track/51p3jvvaTRllGIxdmRVnRr #
  • Hm. Think yourselves lucky… a colleague identified the other TV themes I was listening to as “Some kind of cheesy gay porn music”… #
  • … So now I feel too self-conscious to keep listening to it! #
  • Caught this by accident – yes OKAY, was looking for the cartoon theme. But this is funkapoppy too… ♫ http://blip.fm/~574l9 #
  • @mrtonylee Remember, swordfishes love you, jellyfishes love you, also, starfish, they quite love you too…! in reply to mrtonylee #
  • Oh god this ham & tomato sandwich is AWESOME! Maybe it ISN’T just Girl One’s special abilities that make my packed lunches taste so good… #
  • Ladooz, Jellaspoons, Aye give you my old colleague and friend, @acheverton! #
  • @MissNixs Well, the little noduley bits on top of Lego have the secondary aim of allowing one to still breathe if lodged in the nosal area. in reply to MissNixs #
  • @jamiesmart What did you think of City Of Ember? Got Inkheart in the queue… in reply to jamiesmart #
  • @MOMBTWEETS Dammit…! No space on the site for qualifying statements. Still, I stand by my choice of Amazing Spider-Man #36… in reply to MOMBTWEETS #
  • @MOMBTWEETS EVEN I was emotionally affected by the WTC attack, but this was the 1st tribute that started to make the upset turn sour on me. in reply to MOMBTWEETS #
  • @MOMBTWEETS …It’s fair to say that it was an effort to parse the immense tragedy of the day, & as such it could be argued that it’s flaws in reply to MOMBTWEETS #
  • @MOMBTWEETS …are acceptable, but to have the issue come out mid-run, with the confused emotions of the day mapped onto Marvel properties, in reply to MOMBTWEETS #
  • @MOMBTWEETS … was just yucky. Seeing Dr Doom with tears in his eyes? Magneto acting like he gave a shit? Really! in reply to MOMBTWEETS #
  • IIRC, the only poignant moment in Amazing Spider-Man #36 was Captain America’s near emotional breakdown, & it was a throwaway moment… #
  • …A motif that was revisited again & again, to much greater effect, in the actual Marvel 911 tribute book, which had some amazing stuff in. #
  • I don’t question the motives of anyone working on that Spider-Man book, but for me it was an emotional misfire. #
  • @Emmavieceli What sport? Was it bowling? Wii Tennis? in reply to Emmavieceli #
  • @Specsneedaclean Hah! in reply to Specsneedaclean #
  • @serafinowicz … OH, but let me guess… It’s being posted & hasn’t arrived yet, right? #
  • @RedMummy Well, I should hope so! I’m awesome! in reply to RedMummy #
  • Oh for… so what, does swine flu kill the SAME demographic as most flus, or as the 1918 epidemic? Which is it, News? #
  • … I am about THIS FAR off panicking! #
  • …& now I know WAY more about the 1918 Flu than I needed to. THANKS, internet! #
  • I have a perverse love/hate relationship with diseases that make you bleed out of your orifices. #
  • @jamiesmart It’s a beautifully realised film… has something of the City Of Lost Children about it. A fable! in reply to jamiesmart #
  • @jamiesmart (I wrote my thoughts on it here: http://tinyurl.com/dd6w2p in reply to jamiesmart #
  • @MOMBTWEETS For balance, I should add off-record that: JMS provides some startlingly emotive prose, & JRJR as always provides beautiful art. in reply to MOMBTWEETS #
  • This is the Elephant Words post that gets the most spam comments: The Quiet Man In The Window by @xanderbennetthttp://bit.ly/G4eEU #
  • Lovely article by Tania Kindersley about Twitter: http://bit.ly/hBeRf – I am biased, mind. #
  • @rolhirst Hah… well, if you say nothing, I won’t notice I’m following you! So no pressure, innit? in reply to rolhirst #
  • @SamShepherd I don’t know… he’s pretty abusive but never steps over a particular line that I think would justify deletion/banning. A slap? in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @SamShepherd I think a graceful response would be to remind him that while he’s entitled to his opinion, abusive behaviour isn’t acceptable, in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @SamShepherd …& that doesn’t just apply to other users/commenters, but also Echo itself. in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @SamShepherd Well, now that’s unfair! His behaviour doesn’t demand banning, but I’d say he merits a polite nudge toward decency…! in reply to SamShepherd #
  • @SamShepherd It’s not like we’re talking a call to release the hounds…! Uh… Are there hounds? in reply to SamShepherd #
  • RT @steevbishop: If @wossy told us he joined a twibe we’d have to ask for clarification. #
  • @JoeQuesada Could be wrong, but think that’s lifted from here: http://bit.ly/ULwQr – Ep 15. Which is cool. Just mentioning for attribution. in reply to JoeQuesada #
  • May I respectfully request that Project Wonderful advertisers consider this space: http://bit.ly/Cex93 – SUPER cheap, may be delisted. #
  • @indiaknight …the obvious answer to which is: “Well, there’s not really anything to get. It’s not a magic trick or anything.” #
  • @indiaknight … then “It’s not The Usual Suspects or The Sixth Sense”. Rising in pitch to “It’s not a FUCKING RUBIKS CUBE!”. #
  • @indiaknight …Then kcik them soundly in the bottom, and OUT of your life forever! Philistines! …Sigh. #
  • @steevbishop Hang on. What they’ve just said is that if it truly becomes a pandemic, it will be a pandemic? Thank GOD they cleared that up. in reply to steevbishop #
  • If we had some ham, we could have ham and eggs. If we had some eggs. #
  • @Bournemouthecho Do you dislike it in a pan, or in a van, or from a can? Would you dislike it with some spam, or smeared in jam? in reply to Bournemouthecho #
  • If we had some green eggs, we could have green eggs and ham, if we had some ham! #
  • @Bournemouthecho Hah… AWESOME! in reply to Bournemouthecho #
  • Do you ever get the feeling like you paid for a debate, but got an argument instead? #
