Ok, you have probably forgotten about this, @RebeccaFront, but the story I was obsessing about was "The Over-Night Bag" by GG. It is odd… #
Ah, balls. Just read an interview with Graham Greene that gives a really obvious reading of my fave Greene story that I hadn't registered… #
@davidbaillie But, what? NOW I'm confused. Didn't @iamschmurgen just post on his blog that he IS Azzopardi? Did I miss the point completely? in reply to davidbaillie #
@davidbaillie … I'll be honest, I find his accent completely impenetrable. in reply to davidbaillie #

@RebeccaFront (It's still an excellent read, but in researching just now I realise that I may have misunderstood it entirely.) in reply to RebeccaFront #
"They can take my lungs and kidneys, but my heart belongs to Daphne. Daphne!" #
@MikeScantlebury No. Yes. I … don't know. How would I be able to tell? in reply to MikeScantlebury #
@douglasnoble I was joking! Sean is about the ONLY person that I hadn't considered might be Schmurgen. Now I think only Schmurgen can be he. in reply to douglasnoble #
@Sulman What's slightly unnerving is that I wasn't one of them. I'm nearly ALWAYS the source of giant turd jokes in my life. in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman NOT JOKES STORIES. STUPID MONKEY BRAIN! in reply to Sulman #
@douglasnoble I… so… what you're saying is he's not Sean? You know, before today, I hadn't considered it MIGHT be Sean… in reply to douglasnoble #
@Sulman Have you read any of his stuff? It's really very good. He's a bit odd, though. Like, not @acheverton odd. A different sort of odd… in reply to Sulman #
http://is.gd/1szJW – Omniscience – my cousin @georgelondon, ladies and gentlemen… A man who claims that he can't write. He's wrong. #
@MissNixs Evenin' missus. in reply to MissNixs #
Sitting down to first episode of this week's Torchwood. Spooky lights & close encounters. Oooh… #
@_wild_rose_ I have no idea how to answer that question… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
@MissNixs Ha! True enough indeed. Bloody charity… in reply to MissNixs #
& that is now officially me a day behind on Torchwood. Sorry, @steevbishop, I tried, but couldn't get up to date. It's too good, you see… #
…NORMAL Torchwood, I can do other things while it's on, but this series has been great fun, & I have things to do before sleeping. #
…Barrowman, incidentally, shouldn't complain about the series length. Torchwood might have decent lifespan as Prime Suspect style show. #
@steevbishop My thoughts 'xactly. Of course, this blows plans to watch the finale live tomorrow a bit out of the water. I won't catch up… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop …& G1 enjoyed what she saw of the 1st ep, but her day was a long one & she had to turn in before the 2nd… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop …Hoping she'll watch it all with me some day soon. in reply to steevbishop #
Ooh… Has everyone else already seen this Doctor Who: Waters Of Mars preview? – http://is.gd/1sLS5 – Heebiejeebies! Also, The Thing-ish. #
"What did she say?""She said… the jungle… passed wind?" #1stdraftmovielines #
"This is madness!""No! This is the way we do things within our cruel and unforgiving culture, here in Sparta!" #1stdraftmovielines #
Heh. "If that's how you treat your friends, imagine how you treat your enemies, worse I expect." #
@MissNixs Did you use a swear on her comments section. Also, have you bled all of your blood out of your nose? in reply to MissNixs #
"You're bleeding…" "Darn it. This is a pretty inconvenient time to bleed." #1stdraftmovielines #
Loads of these 1st draft movie line things keep occurring to me, but I haven't seen the funny side since the first. Kind of. It's a disease! #
OMG! LOVED this trailer a bit back, but now it has a dvd release date?? Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus – http://is.gd/1sMxQ – @Sulman oh gosh. #
Also, video of Resident Evil: Dark Chronicles & Deadspace: Extraction over @geeksyndicate – http://is.gd/1sMEk #
"I'll have what the woman overcooking a fake orgasm is having, because I saw you walk over with it and it looked tasty." #1stdraftmovielines #
RT @michaelfurious: #1stdraftmovielines: "I'm here to kick ass, and chew bubble gum. I love bubble gum." (HA!) #
@_wild_rose_ That suggests that I ever take anything anyone says on the internet all that seriously! No point getting worked up, is there? in reply to _wild_rose_ #
"She won't live forever. But then again, why would you want her to?" #1stdraftmovielines #
Can't get a bead on whether or not Section 8 looks good, but the trailer ticks the right geek boxes: http://is.gd/1sOIk #
@_wild_rose_ Wow. I have NO idea who you are. Should I? Is it really, terribly important? Or are you just this cute with everyone? in reply to _wild_rose_ #
http://is.gd/1sUQF – Public Enemies review. The very short version is that it was alright. #
There's a very short list of things I love, @_wild_rose_ …Ambiguity isn't really one of them. It's a useful tool to hide behind… #
… But I've never been a big fan of hiding. #
Right. Night. #
@_wild_rose_ @nixsight leads to http://www.nixsight.net, which leads to my Flickr, MySpace, LJ etc, all of which have my real name… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
@_wild_rose_ …Without mentioning Elephant Words, that I am ALL over. My real name is Nicolas Papaconstantinou. It's too long to use here. in reply to _wild_rose_ #
@_wild_rose_ …I'll use vagueness for professional expediency, but I actually resent the implication that I'm lying when I'm not… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
@_wild_rose_ …& I'm unsure what you think the various passive aggressive suggestions on how I should communicate are going to achieve. in reply to _wild_rose_ #
@thepetshopboy You didn't like Collateral? For reals? This, I'd like to hear more about – I love that movie. Though Jamie Foxx is an odd un. #
@_wild_rose_ I'm REALLY not. I am, by most accounts, on a scale measured down several years & bridges burned, a terrible cunt… Morning! in reply to _wild_rose_ #
@thepetshopboy …What the hell is this? It's… oddly… awesome. I mean, you know, PROPER awesome. With devil horn fingers & everything. in reply to thepetshopboy #
Ooh… Nice @Plustenstrength! We have a routine, now. Spaghetti Bolognese 1 day makes left-over sauce to be used for Chilli 2 days later… #
@Plustenstrength …I make spag bol, Girl One makes the Chilli, & both are just lush. Is there a difference between UK chilli & con carne? in reply to Plustenstrength #
@dcurtisj Oh, ha! in reply to dcurtisj #
RT @dcurtisj: "That's funny. I totally recall owning this droid for years and years." #retconmoviedraftlines (RT'd for @Sulman's benefit.) #
@_wild_rose_ Ah, I see how that might look like a disingenuous statement… I AM capable of moments of heat & fury in online discussion… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
@_wild_rose_ …But my expectations of people, online & off, are generally low these days. So if I argue on the internet, well… in reply to _wild_rose_ #
…It's just arguing on the internet. @_wild_rose_ #
@thepetshopboy Agreed on Cruise, & at least in this movie Foxx was required to be a mumbling fool. I think I like the film's tightness. in reply to thepetshopboy #
@thepetshopboy: "more @bandofskulls for you @nixsight …this one would make a perfect soundtrack to the next r… ♫ http://blip.fm/~9oap8 #
"Now I have a machine gun! LOL!" #redraftedmovielines #
@charlottelydia I see what you did there… Start high, negotiate down… Very clever…! in reply to charlottelydia #
Open mic plus feature acts – Open call for poets or filmmakers at @making_theatre. (Disclaimer: I am somehow related to @making_theatre) #
… Thought this #1stdraftmovielines thing had exhausted all possibilities. @DaveMcKean has woken up to it, tho, & is rocking out. #
RT @Sulman: Oh Barack http://i27.tinypic.com/24n4377.jpg (Awesome!) #
@Templesmith Wait, what? Did I miss Viking #2? Or are you just showing off? in reply to Templesmith #
@steevbishop Re Tuesday Tweetup, it might be nice. Course, I'm loathe to make plans in case we're looking at wedding venues that night… #
@Templesmith DAMMIT! Thanks, tho. Will look at weekend. in reply to Templesmith #
@RebeccaFront …It is, isn't it? But for me, it was like my ideal short story for years: a kinda genre story but not shouting "I R HORROR!" in reply to RebeccaFront #
@RebeccaFront …But while trying to find it to share yesterday-ish, I found interview with Greene in which he states that the bag is empty! in reply to RebeccaFront #
@RebeccaFront … EMPTY!! Incredibly, that had never occurred to me before. in reply to RebeccaFront #
@PiaGuerra Blimey! in reply to PiaGuerra #
Incredible piece of footage of what happens when engineering meets extreme weather – http://is.gd/1txHl (Yay, thanks @PiaGuerra!) #
@Emmavieceli Yay! Well done to all concerned! Is this your first neicephew? in reply to Emmavieceli #
@Sulman Heh… my experience of you on Twitter today is entirely you tutting at things. In, uh, 2 tweets. It amuses! in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman Yay! Grumpy old man mode! Went to Starbucks with G1 – looked at girls – you were missed! in reply to Sulman #
@MOMBTWEETS When you say DRESSED as a policewoman, what do you mean exactly…? Actually policewomen dress as policewomen, don't they? in reply to MOMBTWEETS #
@nixsight What did you do in London, btw? in reply to nixsight #
@nixsight Oh, it was lovely. I did some shopping and… in reply to nixsight #
… I'm fooling no-one that that was intentional, am I? #
@RedMummy I was asking you, yo… just doing it badly! in reply to RedMummy #
@georgelondon Wow, 40? Really? Hm. Course, some might have left comments, if they didn't have to log into MySpace to do so. Or else not! in reply to georgelondon #
@Eamon_ Had that happen. Gave me the book THEN asked for the donation. I had to tell him I didn't have any cash but ta – & took the book. in reply to Eamon_ #
@giagia I honestly think it's the best series they've had so far. in reply to giagia #
