  • The phone does do the photographs, @douglasnoble… it is I who is strangely shy of taking photos of strangers without their knowledge… #
  • @MissNixs TA! Where the heck have YOU been… in reply to MissNixs #
  • What a delightful weekend – lots of Greeks, & a nice sunny lunch with @belle_lulu, @glossaltwinster, @RedMummy & Josh. Big fun! #
  • @RedMummy Only just… just long enough to check that they're doing what they're supposed to at Elephant Words, then bed. in reply to RedMummy #
  • A very big thankyou to @RedMummy for being a very gracious host. I had thought my afternoon would seem rushed, but quite the opposite! #
  • @MissNixs What is a Blissfields? in reply to MissNixs #
  • @belle_lulu Uh, Bulletproof? By Pop Will Eat Itself? in reply to belle_lulu #
  • Right, peoples… Tweetdeck is only showing me back to around 22:40. Tell me what I've missed, before I go buh-byes! #
  • @MissNixs For the last couple of weeks?? (That does sound like it was fun, though…) in reply to MissNixs #
  • @RedMummy No no – I thought fitting in a visit with you, & walking the dog, after getting back from London, might be tougher than it was… in reply to RedMummy #
  • @RedMummy … Though by the time the train pulled in at Southampton, I didn't know if my legs would still work. Big weekend! in reply to RedMummy #
  • Free Project Wonderful ad slots at http://www.elephantwords.co.uk as I tweet…! Head on over now! If you have a need for free adverts, that is… #
  • @RedMummy Ah yes, indeed! Dan Lester has done another classic provocative image choice: http://bit.ly/E9UJ8 in reply to RedMummy #
  • @RedMummy Wha? What is an iHat? in reply to RedMummy #
  • @RedMummy She's not eating triffically well, no. She seems to have gone back to being fussy rather than not eating full stop, tho! in reply to RedMummy #
  • http://twitpic.com/9fzzq – I don't know if this just got done, but I've never noticed it before. AWESOME! #
  • http://twitpic.com/9g04d – Please note – these dials go up to eleven… #
  • @RedMummy She's already on a special food – we bought 2 different flavours & one she's actually picking out & eating. in reply to RedMummy #
  • @belle_lulu You too, ma'am… G1 has had a great time, but isn't back till tomorrow. LAME! in reply to belle_lulu #
  • OH FOR… GODDAMMI… BED! #
  • @giagia Oh, man… how cute! My nephew has the furry ears thing, so George's hair patterns are fascinating to me… in reply to giagia #
  • @caitlinmoran That's just… not right. in reply to caitlinmoran #
  • Offered without comment – Cadburys Creme Egg Twisted ad: http://is.gd/1oE5r #
  • @kidbritishmusic Very nice song, btw, gents. in reply to kidbritishmusic #
  • @GlossalTwinster So you out "child" them? That's MY trick, missus. in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @alandavies1 You've had the tache on your avatar for a while, though, right? Children can be so cruel… in reply to alandavies1 #
  • @imjustmike Huh. I'm struggling to get ANY ad revenue on mine. Sigh. in reply to imjustmike #
  • @GlossalTwinster Heh… youngsters like you are supposed to have more stamina & fortitude than this. Macho up, soldier! in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @loscampesinos Ohmygodohmygod! Seriously? Southampton? in reply to loscampesinos #
  • @loscampesinos Ah, but I am old & uncool & prob didn't know you back then. Dang Joiners site not showing it yet. I CAN NOT miss this gig! in reply to loscampesinos #
  • @Glinner That's the case with so many Onion articles – blow their load on the headline. But they give such GOOD headlines… in reply to Glinner #
  • Man Stroke Woman dvds arrived today, as part of my newish ethical stance on downloads. We love Man Stroke Woman! #
  • Just in case nobody spotted them yesterday, 2 music shops in Southampton: http://twitpic.com/9fzzq & http://twitpic.com/9g04d. #
  • @imjustmike I've only got Elephant Words wired for PW ads at the mo… & Nixsight doesn't get nearly as much traffic. Doesn't earn much. :( in reply to imjustmike #
  • http://ow.ly/gz0w – What? SEE The Actual Birth Of A Baby!? For reals @imjustmike? #
  • @imjustmike That all adds up (HA ADS UP!) tho! You saw Superman 3, right? in reply to imjustmike #
  • @imjustmike Hah, of course. My text tone is a Bill Lumbergh "Mm, yeah." in reply to imjustmike #
  • The Other Night. Me: I'd forgotten how antagonistic you are. Gog: What the fuck does "antagonistic" mean? Spi: He means you're being a cunt. #
  • My favourite imaginary line for a sanitary product ad: "Keep the Crimson Pirate at bay!" @Templesmith #
  • Backstory of which is that I had a colleague who was V old, & obsessed with that film. It always sounded euphemistic to me. @Templesmith #
  • @imjustmike Heh… yours the more aggressive aggressive than passive aggressive types? in reply to imjustmike #
  • "Truly cleanses the vaginal canal even in the presence of mucous matter."? WHAT? In an ADVERT? WHAT? #
  • Seriously, you guys, go look at the Creepiest Ads of All Time: http://is.gd/1oHn0. Thanks, @idsharman, THANKS A LOT! #
  • @SamShepherd Hah! No… Seriously, though, the one good thing about the link I just shared? It makes you feel privileged to live today… in reply to SamShepherd #
  • Privilidged? Priveleged? Pri… Jesus, one of those words… #
  • @GlossalTwinster Heh… you'd say that, even having met me? Kids are easy… it's other grown ups that are hard…! in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • Gents, FYA: Kid British have Disco Potential – http://is.gd/1oIys – @kidbritishmusic #
  • Oh, go on then, #moonfruit. I could do with a laptop. Also, lap of honour, dance. #
  • @imjustmike Oh, FINE! Rub it in! in reply to imjustmike #
  • This #moonfruit thing is excellent, in that it combines several of my least favourite things… advertising, hashtags, fruit & the moon… #
  • … also, shameless opportunism, encouraging the worst sort of empty optimism in the human condition. #moonfruit #
  • Oh, also, it just exacerbates my confused feelings about Apple. Stupid confused feelings! #moonfruit #
  • @imjustmike Aww, lookit! in reply to imjustmike #
  • @bremxjones Is this on the new video game, or you rocking it old skool on tabletop? in reply to bremxjones #
  • @purseonality I don't know if I'd ever go that far, but it IS nice how most of that stuff just WORKS together. in reply to purseonality #
  • @bremxjones Oh, now that looks nice. Is it lame of me that it's the turn-based mode that appeals to me the most? in reply to bremxjones #
  • @bremxjones Loved DOW 2 as a simple RTS, but kind of hoped for something that replicated that tabletop gameplay more. BB looks like it does! in reply to bremxjones #
  • @GlossalTwinster Oddity? The cheek. It is Just How I Roll. in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @Glinner Oh, woah…! That's… was wondering at first if this was an ironic post, but he's a bit hardcore… in reply to Glinner #
  • @moontweet I'm glad you said this, but perhaps a little late in the promotion? I mean, of course, the #moonfruit promotion. For Moonfruit. in reply to moontweet #
  • @giagia Is it something that can be blamed on the baby brain? in reply to giagia #
  • @caitlinmoran Think I'm going to need to switch that off before the whole day disappears up the plinth! in reply to caitlinmoran #
  • @GlossalTwinster Merp :( My instinct when receiving compliments like that from youngsters is to assume they are mocking me. MOCKING ME! in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @bloggerheads Hah… You can almost hear the wheels spinning in the editorial department's heads… in reply to bloggerheads #
  • @GlossalTwinster I… I don't know if that's a good thing or not… in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • Daily Mail existential crisis imminent: http://is.gd/1oMCZ #
  • @GlossalTwinster Phew! Was a bit worried for a second there. Though, shortbread? #
  • @caitlinmoran Wondering if people like this guy was the sort of point of the exercise? To see how quietly mad the populace is… in reply to caitlinmoran #
  • @GlossalTwinster Hah, true dat. @belle_lulu I am merely giving the lady tips that should benefit you & yours massively…! ;) #
  • @GlossalTwinster She know what she got, if THAT'S what you mean… ;) in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @thecraigmorris HAH! Heh… a quick sidestep into my Mentions list & suddenly there's a whole conversation I wasn't aware of. Awesome sauce. in reply to thecraigmorris #
  • @GlossalTwinster Damn, forgot to mention the "non-stalker" bit. Will address this when I get home. I will say "She said over & over again." in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @giagia Well, then it is acceptable. Anything that doesn't end in damage to person or persons can be forgiven, under the circumstances! in reply to giagia #
  • @steevbishop OH GOD! Colin and Colin! I hadn't read that far because the confusing editorial implications were wigging me out, but… in reply to steevbishop #
  • Hang on: NZ gives a 2 year waiting period before you can become a permanent resident. Not renewing visas within that 2 year period… #
  • …It's unfortunate, yes, but it's… y'know…a fairly black/white situation surely? I hope nobody I know gets affected by it, but outrage? #
  • Hey, @GlossalTwinster, @belle_lulu & @RedMummy – How come nobody touched MY knee? It just occurred to me… #
  • @douglasnoble Heh. There's time yet for that to occur. Actually quite enjoying this guy – he's taking an early opportunity to take the piss. in reply to douglasnoble #
  • @GlossalTwinster I'm GREEK, for god's sake… I'm pretty lucky I'm not already up on charges… in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @GlossalTwinster (I had thought that it might be because you were all basking in my quiet masculinity…) in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @GlossalTwinster The line "No-one puts baby in the corner", incidentally, always reminds me of that last scene in Blair Witch. in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • @GlossalTwinster @belle_lulu Which, what? Ah, the Dirty Dancing thing? So we're all just IGNORING the thing about masculinity, huh? #
  • @belle_lulu Oh, ha! Sorry, didn't see that. STUPID TWEETDECK! I thought I was VERY masculine. No? Was it the white wine? The deference? in reply to belle_lulu #
  • @GlossalTwinster I don't think Au Pairs actually have to act as prostitutes. I mean, outside my wildest fantasies. in reply to GlossalTwinster #
  • (If I can't impress with my masculinity, I will have to let my chauvinism do the trick…) #
  • @belle_lulu Hah! Thankyou, but I have been told recently by someone who'd know that if I found my twin, I'd be the evil one! in reply to belle_lulu #
  • @belle_lulu I don't know whether I have a choice. I'm not good at suppressing my negative character traits. I revel in them. And revels… in reply to belle_lulu #
  • @belle_lulu Heh… I don't know… is it a reference to my ex, or… not sure which tweet you're responding to. Not caffeinated enough… in reply to belle_lulu #
  • @belle_lulu Hah! Bloody hell, that's an impressive memory. (And an INCREDIBLE misnomer, incidentally) in reply to belle_lulu #
  • @belle_lulu But of course! in reply to belle_lulu #
  • Hah… this guy has a cute gimmick. #oneandanother #
  • Oh, tut, @dailyecho. That's more local jobs gone. http://bit.ly/ZN5hy #
  • Sorry, @DimitriMOMB… it's going to be murder on the economy… #
  • @steevbishop (Keep coming back to this, and marvelling at the peculiar humour it brings out in the story!) in reply to steevbishop #
  • @belle_lulu I… I am REALLY confused by this tweet. in reply to belle_lulu #
  • There are 2400 hours of this to come – I get the feeling by the end, this guy will look like high-art. Beats David Blaine. #oneandother #
  • LOT of people Tweeting about shooting panda guy. Can't help but feel dissing him so badly is going for low hanging @moonfruit. #oneandother #
  • SEE WHAT I DID THERE? #
  • @nanuanu Yeah… fair play – he's using his time to give people who aren't up there a chance to say something interesting. #oneandother in reply to nanuanu #
  • @nanuanu (It's worth saying that they aren't managing to. But that's hardly his fault!). #oneandother in reply to nanuanu #
  • Those mocking, bear in mind, these is the measure of the questions people would ask, where they to talk to god, or aliens. #oneandother #
  • "Are you really aliens?""What's it like in space?""Will you flash your UFO headlights at me?""Have you met Michael Jackson?" #oneandother #
  • @indiaknight HEY! His girlfriend made that! It's hardly his fault she's incompetent! in reply to indiaknight #
  • @indiaknight I actually think he's kind of sweet. I suspect this is going to be one of those events that makes me get annoyed with Twitter: in reply to indiaknight #
  • @indiaknight … It tends to get a bit nasty round here when there's cultural blood in the water…! in reply to indiaknight #
  • @nanuanu Oh, we're hearing his responses. I think that's plenty! MANY hours to come, maybe they'll be more sophisticated as it continues… in reply to nanuanu #
  • @nanuanu (I suspect the opposite will be the case!) in reply to nanuanu #
  • #oneandother He wasn't chatting up 14 year old. She called him. He spoke to her is all. Do calm down. He's mentioned his gf repeatedly… #
  • @cvh2009 Someone JUST suggested that him moonwalking AS REQUESTED is like shitting on photo of MJ. Far too much ire to cover in 140 char. in reply to cvh2009 #
  • @steevbishop HAH! I'm a fucking idiot. But hey, I'll not win anyway, so fuck it. Could really do with a laptop, though. in reply to steevbishop #
  • (For anyone not following @steevbishop, yes, I fucked up the #moonfruit hashtag, yes, I'm an idiot. YES I STILL THINK IT'S FUNNY!) #
  • @davidgilray Panda man said that he needs a wee a few minutes ago. Hence the pacing. Bless! #oneandother in reply to davidgilray #
  • @steevbishop OH SHUTUP YOU! In actual, factual truth, IT CAN'T HURT ANYBODY. And we're ALREADY saving for a wedding. Laptop not imminent. in reply to steevbishop #
  • @belle_lulu I CONSTANTLY use Mrs Slocombe's Pussy as a reference point. That's where my problems always begin. in reply to belle_lulu #
  • @steevbishop Some days it's like I don't even know myself. in reply to steevbishop #
