@parsnipnose3000 @Glinner is the man behind Father Ted, Big Train, Black Books (1st season?) & The IT Crowd… all classics. in reply to parsnipnose3000 #
@parsnipnose3000 Oh my gosh… Black Books is especially good first series. IT Crowd is broad as it is deep… in reply to parsnipnose3000 #
@parsnipnose3000 …Big Train is a sketch show: as such quite variable, but the high points are sublime. Features Pegg, Heap, Eldon, Morris. in reply to parsnipnose3000 #
@parsnipnose3000 & THEN SOME. We haven't even started on Armando… in reply to parsnipnose3000 #
@RivkaJacobs S'good innit? in reply to RivkaJacobs #
@parsnipnose3000 Oh, gosh… well, he's been a top rank comedy producer for years – far as DVD goes, tho, look for Day Today on… in reply to parsnipnose3000 #
@parsnipnose3000 …so I'm Alan Partridge, The Armando Iannucci Show, The Thick Of It, Time Trumpet…his name is a mark of surreal quality. in reply to parsnipnose3000 #
@parsnipnose3000 …Then Chris Morris, who is a collaborator of both, who followed his work on Day Today with Brass Eye, which was great… in reply to parsnipnose3000 #
Some key Armando moments from his own show: Happiness – http://twurl.nl/mlh4ec, Imagination – http://twurl.nl/ekg4bk for @parsnipnose3000 #

@RedMummy Had you heard that September 11th WTC thing before? in reply to RedMummy #
Way overdue, but now that it's finally done, maybe I can get back to posting! Bristol Con Small Press haul review: http://is.gd/1lRaQ #
@RedMummy If he has any questions, feel free to pass them on, or if you like you can give him my e-mail addy. I promise not to swear. in reply to RedMummy #
@williehewes I have written up, among other things, Leek & Sushi. It is here: http://is.gd/1lRaQ. Thought you'd like to know! #
@caitlinmoran Not TOO pretentious. Under the circumstances – massively covered celeb death, I mean – pretty good read! in reply to caitlinmoran #
"It's cool to dance, but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance" It's a classic @thepetshopboy. Fairplay to accidental props. #
Yes… yes I am, @thepetshopboy. No, hang on… I'm the motherfucking Brit fresh prince, dog. #
@thoughtmecca Isn't it oddly infectious? in reply to thoughtmecca #
Nice choice @thepetshopboy: "my all-time fave JOY DIVISION cover: JOSE GONZALEZ's haunting version of "love wil… ♫ http://blip.fm/~9avd6 #
@thepetshopboy But I'm the BRIT Fresh Prince. WE keep it gangster thin. in reply to thepetshopboy #
@thepetshopboy I do enjoy his work! Tho I don't know that much. An artist I wouldn't have heard without Girl One's influence, I suspect. in reply to thepetshopboy #
There are 417 accounts following me. Most of you are probably bots/marketers & some of you I already talk to, but who are the rest? TELL ME! #
(& yes, 417 isn't that many, I know. I am just curious, is all!) #
@purseonality I would delete MY bots, but I have a suspicion I'd have very few people left! in reply to purseonality #
RT @shockozulu: there are now MJ death channels – they seem to even threaten he will keep dying somehow & the show will never end. #
@DimitriMOMB MOST of the people I follow Tweet, but yeah, some activity has kind of died off somewhat. in reply to DimitriMOMB #
@belle_lulu Huh. That's LOADS! in reply to belle_lulu #
Ambulance helicopter just landed on putting green in Soton centre. Taxi driver hit a cyclist in the bus lane. Oh dear. #
Still, HELICOPTER! #
@_arien Whoops. Tweets crossing over there. in reply to _arien #
Excitement over… helicopter did not crash on the cafe. Not sure how the patient is, though. #
Ha! Perfect! RT @Sulman: On a lighter note http://bit.ly/2uNt4 #
@Sulman You disappeared like a ninja. Sorry I went mercenary for a better vantage point of the helicopter. HELICOPTER! in reply to Sulman #
RT @empiremagazine: The A-Z Of Michael Mann. It took us ages, so do check it out and tell all your friends. http://bit.ly/j1C2Z #
@Sulman How come? Is it in the print version, or do you mean you're going to have to go DVD shopping? in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman Actually, yeah… the book with the gorgeous dark blue cover, of the guy in silhouette? in reply to Sulman #
Aw, thanks, @thepetshopboy. If I did followfriday, I would totally suggest @thepetshopboy… #
…Because, well – he's a ruggedly attractive, bronzed American & yet he chose the name @thepetshopboy. This tells you all you need to know. #
… And your morning refreshment, and your nightly salve, @philkirby? #
@thepetshopboy … Ok, that might be the first Follow Friday I actually respond to! in reply to thepetshopboy #
Our office actually overlooks the cafe/green – I have never seen a helicopter up that close! @DimitriMOMB #
…Girl One lived on the isles of Scilly, so helicopters are like busses to her. Sigh. #
Though I think that @thepetshopboy's way of doing FolFri makes more sense than some. But needn't be limited to Friday, @philkirby #
Incidentally, I try to flesh out my conflicted feelings about Western Manga Style comics in yesterday's post: http://is.gd/1mh6D #
Possibly least helpful insight into MJ's life: He had a stand-up of little boy anakin peeking out from folds of Darth Maul's cape. @Glinner #
@Glinner … All I could think when I read it was: Oh dear. Uri, you're not helping, not EVEN yourself! in reply to Glinner #
@philkirby V.true indeed. in reply to philkirby #
Reminds me of a guy I once knew, who would loudly bring up his cock piercing then complain about people hassling him to see it. @DaveGorman #
…Then KEEP bringing it up, until someone eventually relented, at which point he would expose himself, with fake impatience.@DaveGorman #
RT:@Sulman View from @nixsight 's office. Note yellow helicopter ambulance excitement. http://yfrog.com/0h79925158j #
It was amazing, how quickly colleagues from elsewhere in the building rushed over with vid camera & tripod – OPPORTUNISTS! @Sulman #
Isn't it funny how the word "documentary", now that it's been said so many times in the schedules, now has no meaning, @steevbishop? #
@Sulman Oh, yeah, I know… it's a bit grotesque, isn't it? in reply to Sulman #
Oh, he'll LOVE that!: RT @thepetshopboy: #followfriday @sulman cuz he's the straight gilbert to @nixsight 's straight george…lol #
Tweeted without comment: Uri Geller Meets Daredevil – http://is.gd/1mkNq – (Ta @douglasnoble) #
@ronskanky I've been trying to find a routine on the changing shape of innuendo, that referred to Mrs Slocombe's pussy. That WAS you, right? in reply to ronskanky #
Had all but disengaged from the story, but: Michael Jackson? Danny Baker? Compulsive reading? REALLY? – http://is.gd/1mlzH – THANKS, @rhodri #
@SamShepherd That's abusive language, & as such should remove them from the discussion, I'd say. Boundaries need to be set for these idiots! in reply to SamShepherd #
Jeez, Wolfman wrote some tripe – "…After you're behind bars… PRISON bars, that is." YEAH THANKS FOR X'SPLAININ! – http://is.gd/1mlJt #
@ronskanky THAT'S the one… what was that for? Not as far back as Mary Whitehouse or Newman & Baddiel, was it? in reply to ronskanky #
@douglasnoble Can't take a man to task for something he wrote decades ago! Why on earth would you have had to say that before? in reply to douglasnoble #
This is old, but my sister showed us it at the weekend, & it's become an instant hit in our house: He can't say blood – http://is.gd/1mm21 #
Jeez… this Wedding Etiquette site is like the Marriage equivalent of those fake abortion clinics run by pro-lifers: http://is.gd/1mmQt #
@Glinner Is it a picture or Uri Geller? in reply to Glinner #
This won't interest many people, but my sister has posted some pics of me & Girl One with my nephew Logan, over at Facebook. He is cute! #
@Glinner Is it "Infinite Hasselhoff"? in reply to Glinner #
@Glinner Goddamit! So CLOSE! in reply to Glinner #
@Velvet_Whip Isn't that the same of all of us? in reply to Velvet_Whip #
@SorenLorensen Horrid. I don't know whether I can find a decent rationale for using that picture. It's emotive, but ultimately irrelevant… in reply to SorenLorensen #
@SorenLorensen Oh, certainly, but that's what I mean – it's a fairly potent emotional story all by itself. in reply to SorenLorensen #
http://is.gd/1mowz Royal Guard do Thriller. Not tribute. Oh, Sun. Great moment caught on film, but hilarious? Awesome, maybe, but hilarious? #
Also, anybody else feel like they might be having some sort of synaptic breakdown at the end, when the quote repeated? http://is.gd/1mowz #
… Must be a glitch in the Matrix. #
The BBC! Reporting on Solent University! And it's positive news! http://is.gd/1moIV – Students cleaning up after themselves… #
Oh, sorry, apparently somebody in the office had heard about it already – it was obviously too trivial for me to mention out loud. #
@Sulman Aren't that, and a glitch in the Matrix, compatible theories… in reply to Sulman #
Oh, yeah, I was going to look up @caitlinmoran… she makes me laugh on Twitter, but apparently I should know her from before… #
I KNOW, @davidwynne, I AM SUCH A POINTLESS FUCKER! #
@acheverton Teehee… in reply to acheverton #
@DimitriMOMB I think those kids done a good job! in reply to DimitriMOMB #
@Sulman I… oh my god, no. I've looked all over YT for @caitlinmoran back in the day & honestly I don't recognise her. SO out of touch, me! in reply to Sulman #
You shared giggles with Bjork,@caitlinmoran! That's good enough for me. But yes, we're all older now, aren't we? Not ALWAYS a bad thing… #
@SorenLorensen NO! WHY? in reply to SorenLorensen #
@caitlinmoran I love that you didn't make the obvious comment when she said: If you drink every day, you know, you're kind of an alcoholic. in reply to caitlinmoran #
By the way, everybody who hasn't already seen it should TOTALLY go check out @Sulman's current profile pic. He was straight up the cutest… #
@SorenLorensen What man where? in reply to SorenLorensen #
@Sulman OH I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT LOLZ. in reply to Sulman #
I am going to go to Walkabout fairly soon. I will be in good company, but bad surroundings. Anyone else in Southampton Walkabout tonight? #
@DimitriMOMB Will exfil before combat starts. Got a loyalty keyfob so will be drinking mostly red bull and vodka, I think. in reply to DimitriMOMB #
@RedMummy I've just been reliably informed that there will probably be fighting. I will try to escape beforehand! in reply to RedMummy #
@Sulman has gone #followfriday on my ass. I REFUSE TO PLAY HIS GAME! I mention him enough peeps following me must already know my love… #
@caitlinmoran I think there was giggling. Hang on. in reply to caitlinmoran #
@RedMummy Ah, but you know I'm badass, yes? Actually, just too little to bother with in a scrap! in reply to RedMummy #
@caitlinmoran But that just makes it more fun! Ah yes, you gave Bjork a Pot Noodle, then provoked her to talk sex while high on additives… in reply to caitlinmoran #
http://is.gd/1msiQ – I kind of agree with Bjork's point on drinking to excess… If you're going to do it, blumming DO it. #
@caitlinmoran It is all @Sulman's fault. I was plodding along, thinking you were born on Twitter. The Mark E Smith interview was harsh… in reply to caitlinmoran #
@caitlinmoran … was he joking, or just being a knob with you because you were a girl? in reply to caitlinmoran #
@caitlinmoran Hah… I suspect you'd deal with him easily now. But I may just have been blinded by your Tweeting competence…! in reply to caitlinmoran #
@GeekSyndicate The draft post at blog isn't ripe for posting – will finish it when I get home. SORRY! #
@GeekSyndicate Ah, balls… doing my research (hitting search on the blog!) I get the feeling my post is redundant… in reply to GeekSyndicate #
@GeekSyndicate Nuge et al already got a hands on on Batman: Arkham Asylum? I just saw the developer diary today! May scrap the post. Blah! in reply to GeekSyndicate #
@davidwynne I struggled with the movie a bit – though it should have been up my alley. in reply to davidwynne #
RIGHT! PUB! #
