@thoughtmecca Glad you’re happy about it, sir… he’s a good ‘un, isn’t he? in reply to thoughtmecca #
@thoughtmecca To be fair, I’ve LONG had it coming…! in reply to thoughtmecca #
@MissNixs Good for you! in reply to MissNixs #
Right. Sleep. Yay! Been waiting for this ALL DAY! #
@joshhechinger Your Wii should already be able to play GC stuff, shouldn’t it? I think even the Wii-motes can double up for GC controllers. in reply to joshhechinger #
@joshhechinger At least, on mine, you just lift the flap on top and it’s all there for you, baby! in reply to joshhechinger #
RT @mattfraction: “We were all in it together/it was just like Vietnam/except with a whole lot more leather/and a whole lot less napalm.” #
Mornin’ All! #
@kmellon That looks beautiful, but his pitch bumph about a comic “girls” will like turned me off a little. Stank of tokenism/condescension! in reply to kmellon #
@kmellon (It really does look & read beautifully, though, so may forgive it the obvious promo angle…) in reply to kmellon #
@JSCarroll “He was there. Most of the time.” in reply to JSCarroll #
@BeaucoupKevin You know, I hate to say it but from his post it sounds like that guy thinks that’s genuine comic content! in reply to BeaucoupKevin #
@marcellerby You should have gone for MARTY McFly instead… That would have confused the HELL out of the students… in reply to marcellerby #
This is ACTUALLY incredible, & maybe the only valid use of Flash I’ve seen in ages: http://soytuaire.labuat.com/ #
@marcellerby “Though”? I am reading that as a tiniest diss of the M to the J to the F, & it worries me. WORRIES ME I tell you! MJF is SKILL! in reply to marcellerby #
@RedMummy Did you have a bad day yesterday? I totally missed it! Hope today is better… in reply to RedMummy #
@belle_lulu … Good luck with your studies, you! in reply to belle_lulu #
Should clarify that the actual chain of RT on that Labuat thing is: Via @Plustenstrength via @verabee… #
… I don’t tend to RT unless it’s someone’s fresh content, but can’t take credit for it! It’s like a disease! #
@RedMummy Oh goodness… That sucks! Distract yourself with cake! in reply to RedMummy #
Oh wow you guys: Dan Lester is back at Elephant Words with an absolute beauty!: “The Museum Of July 22nd, 1987″ – http://bit.ly/7reg2 #
I like to read the EW pieces in sequence, but I feel the return of a favoured writer is as good a reason as any to change one’s habits. #
@SamShepherd Oh dear… “Political correctness gone mad” Really, Phillips? I suspect it’s just as acceptable as it ever has been… in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd …The mistake was announcing it! Whole point of dare like that has always been 1 part humiliation to 2 parts risk of capture! in reply to SamShepherd #
@erikamoen That cartoon is stupid cute, & can almost entirely relate, too. in reply to erikamoen #
http://bit.ly/19Cbyd – Another great DAR. Girl One is unreliable on this same subject. Thanks, @erikamoen! #
Wondering how different coverage of this “youngest dad in Britain” story would be if it was the boy who was older. Quite a bit, I think. #
@mrtonylee Find “Life”. Really! It’s the hidden gem in the schedules of the last couple of years. in reply to mrtonylee #
@mrtonylee (If you can get hold of it, Lie To Me is interesting, if formulaic, mainly for Tim Roth’s delightfully grumpy lead man…) in reply to mrtonylee #
@mrtonylee In Treatment is an interesting approach to episodic TV & features some damn good writing/acting. in reply to mrtonylee #
@mrtonylee … & The Unit is better than you’d expect – more in the 24 mode, though. Like 24 meets Desperate Housewives. But not shit. in reply to mrtonylee #
@mrtonylee Take a more zen approach… the overarching mystery gets dealt with by season close, but the characters/writing washes over you! in reply to mrtonylee #
@mrtonylee Lie To Me is another “investigation WITH A GIMMICK” show; often hokey but mileage varies depending on response to characters. in reply to mrtonylee #
@mrtonylee Do they finally escape from their bonds of service, only to find that the PRISON was in their MINDS all along? in reply to mrtonylee #
http://bit.ly/c4PNx – Michael Martin preparing to step down… #
Right, so…Complaints about the Reply Fuckery seem to have dried up, but anyone else noticed a massive drop-off on their timeline activity? #
@RedMummy Hmm… that’s odd. Mine is knackered…! in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Apparently I did. You know, it was better with the settings changed, but now it’s too late, innit? in reply to RedMummy #
@SamShepherd Hm. I wonder why the hubbub has died down on it. It’s SO quiet! in reply to SamShepherd #
@RedMummy The problem there is that it removes the choice to miss those tweets from the people who want to. It’s a predicament! in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy I am a libertarian at heart, & feel that it is mean to force them! in reply to RedMummy #
@georgelondon S’lovely, innit? in reply to georgelondon #
@Groonk S’horrid, innit? Just silent except for Guardian/BBC updates & open pronouncements into the void… For the most part. in reply to Groonk #
@psychicsarah Ha… Not me! How far did you get before you realised? in reply to psychicsarah #
@psychicsarah Hm. I wonder if this will ever be got to the bottom of? Now curious how hard someone would have to hoax to get me semi-nude! in reply to psychicsarah #
@Groonk Me too, sir… but the quietness can’t be ignored, I reckon. in reply to Groonk #
@RedMummy Actually, I suspect the full-stop breaks the “in reply to” bit. in reply to RedMummy #
@Sulman I forget to even check, which I guess is part of the problem…! in reply to Sulman #
@steevbishop No more questions, your honour. NO MORE QUESTIONS YOUR HONOUR! in reply to steevbishop #
@Groonk & even if you don’t end up following t’other person, it’s interesting to see what the people you’re interested in are interested in. in reply to Groonk #
DAMMIT! I should be working for Twitter’s PR department. Why didn’t I think of that…? #
“It’s interesting to see what the people you’re interested in are interested in” is fucking GENIUS! #
@VeryShortStory Do you fancy making a special weekly story out of the Elephant Words images? It’s what they’re there for… in reply to VeryShortStory #
That post, incidentally, was pre-published. I am FINALLY getting on top of some proper blogging, yo! #
@psychicsarah … Based on the sort of hoaxes you find yourself the target of, the answer to that question could be pretty much ANYTHING! in reply to psychicsarah #
@Herring1967 Seems a bit odd trying to “Bring Back…” something that’s just had a multi-million dollar remake released, anyway… in reply to Herring1967 #
@Herring1967 (But I’d be careful messing with the man… just noticed his initials, pretty certain he’s the second coming.) in reply to Herring1967 #
@psychicsarah Nobody ever bothers trying to scam me, either. Sigh. Sometimes I’m glad but other times it makes me feel unwanted… in reply to psychicsarah #
@kmellon Hah! Don’t you have the little “In reply to” link? I was talking about the Katie Rogers book you tweeted about! in reply to kmellon #
@kmellon Oh, the book looks beautiful, & reads ok – I think I’m just immune to the particular marketing slant! in reply to kmellon #
@kmellon But then, I’ve spent a chunk of my life disproving the idea that women a) don’t like comics b) need a particular sort of comic… in reply to kmellon #
@kmellon (Or at least trying to!) in reply to kmellon #
Right, Asda run, I reckon. #
Fair play, Mr Asda, if she was MY colleague, I’d probably make sure I was shelving near by, too! #
& applaud your instincts, looking like SHE does, looking like YOU do, leading with humour. #
@kmellon True. They are dropping the ball, aren’t they? in reply to kmellon #
@joshhechinger Hmm… pretty sure that isn’t the case here, but possible UK version of Wii a different animal from US. Or I’m wrong. in reply to joshhechinger #
Arrived home from Asda to discover UKIP & BNP flyers on the mat. It has put me in decidedly unpleasant mood. #
Note to BNP: Political Correctness & weakness of the left is ONLY reason you are allowed to put stuff thru our doors. WIthout them you… #
…wouldn’t be allowed to peddle your rancid wares & mainstream gov would feel more comfortable calling you out as what you are in public… #
…& if you’re confused about what you are – & I know you’re listening, BNP – you are cunts. Of the highest order. #
BTW, putting flyers thru the doors of people you’d see out of the country or bloodied in the street is a TERRIBLE waste of resources. #
