@JaneMOMB We were spotlighting our AWESOME personalities! in reply to JaneMOMB #
@SamShepherd I think the weather took the edge off somewhat… lots fewer people than I'd have expected! in reply to SamShepherd #
@rolhirst Ha! Lucky guess, but not as many as I expected! in reply to rolhirst #
RT @ryanklindsay: They'll stop making every mini a $3.99 comic and find that more people suddenly buy them #marvel2010 (What are the odds?) #
@Sulman I see what you mean about the boat, but that is just gorgeous… in reply to Sulman #

Braving town for 1st time in days. Anyone about? #

@rolhirst I think it may say more about RTD's mishandling of the other 2! Martha was my fave, but was ill-serviced by RTD… in reply to rolhirst #
@rolhirst …RTD struggled with the notion of having a pretty hetero female assistant without overworked hormonal guff. Donna bypassed that. in reply to rolhirst #
Anyone else with XBox 360 have problems with out-of-synch audio on DVD playback? Happened on Ferris Bueller, & now happening on Kill Bill. #
OK, put another way, anyone using their XBox 360 as a DVD player with NO audio problems? #
@steevbishop I don't know… I think it's something that's started since we started using the HDMI cable. But the picture is MUCH better! in reply to steevbishop #
@LouMarieH Hm… are you using SCART, Component or HDMI leads to connect to the TV? I am a bit anal about things like audio lag. in reply to LouMarieH #

Boxing Day! Oh, what glorious excesses of digestive regret you bring! #
So, who saw Who last night? Didn't it just epitomise all the triumphs & flaws of the RTD era? #
I do love me some Cribbens, tho! And Donna, who I think is best of all recent assistants! #
We watched the BBC version of The Other Boleyn Girl last night. FAR superior to t'other version. #
Also Ferris Bueller. Love that film. Cameron is quintessential Hughes hero… #
… Though he created some memorable front men, Hughes obv had great love for the drummers. #

@acheverton That was the baby Jesus telling you that you've sinned. in reply to acheverton #
Still looking for buddies on XBox Live, in case you missed me asking the other night. My gamertag is predictably "nixsight". #
Does that… That sounds desperate, doesn't it? #
@ryanklindsay You're back! From your honeymoon! How was it? in reply to ryanklindsay #
@Glinner Happy Christmas, sir! Am already happily playing on my new Xbox – Present to myself! Are you an XBoxer? I can't remember. in reply to Glinner #
@Glinner Heh… nixsight! in reply to Glinner #
@Glinner (I am not blessed with a hell of a lot of imagination on that score…!) in reply to Glinner #
@Glinner Yay! Mostly playing Peggle with the missus today, but absolutely loving it! in reply to Glinner #
Probably stupid XBox 360 question: How do you play with/against other local machine Profiles/players? Not been able to fathom it out… #
…I mean, me & Girl One can play against each other anonymously, but it'd be nice if her points were being logged! #

@JaneMOMB, I made it home alright, and feel much better! Thanks for worrying! #
Been a fun but odd couple of days. FInished recording #MOMBCast earlier, then my stomach fell apart. It was gross & horrid. #
Also, XBox360 experience thus far is rocking. Please do send me gamertag whossnames via DM if you want to be friends on there. #

@thoughtmecca @georgelondon Yes, yes, I'm a fuck-up. Sorry, been a lunatic day, & I forgot to sort Matthew, or pop online. GAH. SOrry! #
@RivkaJacobs Hey, Rivka… thanks tons for posting that for Matthew… I'll go in and sort it when I'm on my PC in the morning. in reply to RivkaJacobs #
@gimpnelly VERY glad my gf isn't on the Twitters… the Fraggles give her the fear. in reply to gimpnelly #

Brittany Murphy was a fave in Clueless & I like that film lots. Thought it was a shame she went the starlet way & this is MORE of a shame. #

@georgelondon Between those hours, yes. With the picture it's better if you do it earlyish, so the next person gets a head start, tho. in reply to georgelondon #

http://bit.ly/44bt3 #MOMBcast 13 is now available…this week in super 3d (glasses not provided) Please RT #
@TeeshMgray What? Wait, WHAT? in reply to TeeshMgray #
@JamesMOMB I feel a bit wonky this morning too. How odd. Something in the pizza? in reply to JamesMOMB #
@RichMOMB LOLS. You already listened to it? in reply to RichMOMB #
You always wanted to be Marty, but some days you realise you're actually Doc Brown, moments before he decides to turn to the Libyans. #
(Just occurred to me that Back To The Future is all about ERASING mistakes, so you don't have to learn from them. Sigh.) #
(That thing about Doc Brown, incidentally, was one of the only notes I wrote during the meeting I was just in…) #
@gimpnelly The trick isn't keeping your sanity intact… it's keeping it all in the same place once it's broken! in reply to gimpnelly #
Video: NZ Book Council – Going West How lovely! http://tumblr.com/xi54s0y4j #
Yay! Glasses arrived! Thanks, @glasses_direct! #
@acheverton @georgelondon You two are BOTH wrong. It's about the power of love. & erasing your mistakes. #
Brace yourselves, people… I have just over an hour and a half, so we're going to do this motherloving #MOMBcast. Episode 13! 13!! #
Strap yourselves in… #MOMBcast #
"All the ladies GET IN MAH BELLY!" #MOMBcast #
Wow. #MOMBcast Nick actually did a pretty good job of the ident bit at the beginning this week. AND pronounced Amish JUST RIGHT… #
Then fucked up @JamesMOMB's awesome Berlusconi joke. #MOMBcast @JamesMOMB is convinced that we're going to jump the shark in this one. #
(I think @JamesMOMB might be underestimating how far from the shark we were in the first 12 #MOMBcast s) #
Bit of chatter about Dodgem Logic, peoples. It's quite dense & ability to read it depends on how long you spend in the toilet. #MOMBcast #
This is the bit of the #MOMBcast where @JamesMOMB claims that @glinner & I are buddies. Then does a vaguely offensive impersonation of him. #
Well, I SAY vaguely offensive. It depends on whether making him sound like Colin Farrel counts as offensive. #MOMBcast #
Apparently this week we are minituarised & inserted into the colon of a marmoset. There's lotsa heavy science stuff here, PEOPLE! #MOMBcast #
"I'm kind of like Stephen King in that regard." #MOMBcast Nick? REALLY? #MOMBcast #
"Tapestry fans" #MOMBcast @JamesMOMB, really? #
We KILLED THE FUCK out of @RichMOMB & Jon in this #MOMBcast, guys! KILLED THE FUCK out of them. Got off more lightly than if I'd done it. #
…We had a minutes silence, but we edited it out for you, listener! #MOMBcast #
God, I just come out with so much comedy gold on these #MOMBcasts, & these mfs don't listen to a WORD of it. I SAID SECRET ASIANS, fuckers! #
This is me explaining one of my jokes. You know, #MOMBcast Nick, if you have to explain a joke, it probably wasn't worth making… #
Heh. @JamesMOMB's short-version Avatar review "It was long." #MOMBcast #
I WAS JUST SINGING! Also, schooling @JaneMOMB on what the cinema experience was like in the olden days. #MOMBCast #
@Alfie Teehee! in reply to Alfie #
OH GOD isn't @JamesMOMB EVER going to stop talking about AVATAR? Thank god his neighbours decided to start drilling at this point! #MOMBcast #
"Let’s see how healthy YOU are with podcasters in YOUR anus." – Heh. @JamesMOMB on #MOMBCast 13. http://tumblr.com/xi54s1do8 #
OH SNAP, Empire Magazine! There goes any potential jobs for them, huh @Nixsight? #MOMBcast #
I'm going on & on & on about the bloody 3D fetish I've got. Also, who ACTUALLY says "discombobulated"? IN REAL LIFE? #MOMBcast #
Huh. I wouldn't say you were OLD, @JamesMOMB! #MOMBcast #
For all I know, @JamesMOMB has LOTS of friends who he pretends are dead. #MOMBcast He claims he'll do it to us by #MOMBcast 20. #
"That's just terrifically, typically female" #MOMBcast Nick? #
@Roramb SO DOES @JAMESMOMB! So that's two of you! in reply to Roramb #
Oh dear… I probably shouldn't have pushed @JaneMOMB on this bit. Me & @JamesMOMB got a bit quiet & peculiar. #MOMBcast #
I'm talking about AMAZON there, by the way. In case anyone didn't get it. #MOMBcast #
Yes, @JamesMOMB, that IS how you pronounce Matthew Holness. Also, stop talking about past #MOMBcast s, Nick! You twat! #
@Roramb @JamesMOMB! He's a delight! in reply to Roramb #
Heh. Tune in especially for the "Fuck me @JaneMOMB has a grating voice" campaign that @JamesMOMB tried to start. He's a git! #MOMBcast #
Girlfriend slash fiancee! In other news, I've absolutely lost the capacity to deal with city-centres around Christmas. #MOMBcast #
20:00, @JaneMOMB starts reviewing issue 2 of NOLA. @JamesMOMB makes first mention of Scarlet Witch. #MOMBcast #
@Bournemouthecho Always a little disgusted by the peculiarly rat-like behaviour of the mob when places like that go. Woolworth footage yuck! in reply to Bournemouthecho #
Oh for… @JamesMOMB needs some schoolin' about what the creators do on comics. Dang! #MOMBcast #
Oh wow. I had a total senior moment about who created Murderer, which @JaneMOMB is reviewing right now at 24 minute mark. #MOMBcast #
…The narrative footwork performed by the creative team on Murderer apparently baffled @JaneMOMB at first. WOMEN! #MOMBcast #
Photo: blackandwtf: http://tumblr.com/xi54s1o56 #
Heh heh heh… we're professionals! #MOMBcast #
"Don't turn into robots!" @JaneMOMB's name inspires song, too! #MOMBcast #
TaDAH! @Jhewlett mention at 30:20 point! #MOMBcast #
Listening to this #MOMBcast, I can't tell what we're doing differently. Must be SOMETHING… it came in at only an hour & a half. #
31:00: @JaneMOMB & I talking about Forgetless, which I thought was an interesting read. Some LOVELY production design, too. #MOMBcast #
@jhewlett Did you say the writer of Forgetless was on here? #
YOU GUYS! @JaneMOMB totally ISN'T SORRY to be interrupting me, at this point. She is like the #MOMBcast Kanye West! #
The brit references in Forgetless have apparently baffled the shit out of us, here. We're IDIOTS. #MOMBcast #
DAMMIT JAMES! If you listen out, 35 min mark was when I started to lose it a little bit. I went from feeling maudlin to frisky. #MOMBcast #
YOU HEARD ME, Forgetless! You heard me comic world! I SAID "Computer Jiggery Pokery!" #MOMBCast #
It really is quite obvious that @JamesMOMB & I hold ourselves to a lower standard than @JaneMOMB does. #MOMBcast #
Result! 39 minutes FIRST MENTION OF MASTURBATION! Also, of John Peel. @JamesMOMB was gonna be mean to @JaneMOMB but chose not to. #MOMBcast #
Ha! @davidwynne sneakily manages to get himself in there, somehow. Also congratulations to @Ryanklindsay for… something. #MOMBcast #
I was trying to review Doctor Voodoo, which I struggled with BECAUSE @JamesMOMB was TYPING. Ignorant BASTARD! #MOMBCast #
I LOVE the art in Doctor Voodoo. @JaneMOMB is totally treading on her own comics. Jesus. To protect her comics from herself. #MOMBcast #
NOBODY cares that you WANTED to read Empowered but failed to, Nick. You total nubbin. #MOMBCast #
In a minute I make a really sniffy comment about the way @JaneMOMB handles comics. Vaguely ashamed of myself. For many reasons. #MOMBCast #
I totally told the other two off, for lack of focus, there. Then @JamesMOMB started free-associating new fictional Richards. #MOMBcast #
Then @JaneMOMB kicked the table. It is like being in a room with a pair of chimpanzees. #MOMBcast #
Heh. @JamesMOMB is describing the #MOMBcast parties that take place, in various locations around the world, every Friday. THEY SOUND GREAT! #
@jhewlett A dude, you say? Hmm? Hmm? Do you suppose @nickspencer would like to hear us talking nonsense about his comic? in reply to jhewlett #
Do you say the at? #MOMBcast #
Apparently you're always supposed to talk directly to one listener. Hello, listener! #MOMBcast #
See what happened there? My attempt at passive-aggressively guilt-tripping @JamesMOMB TOTALLY backfired on me! #MOMBcast #
She totally does flap them around by the front cover, you know. #MOMBcast #
We like @andydiggle! We like Daredevil! We like The Hand! We like Hand Puppets! #MOMBcast #
Heh… I forgot that I was trying to derail this Daredevil review from @JamesMOMB. It was funny… #MOMBcast #
"Yeah, but the Kingpin, all you need is for him to turn up and strangle someone." – @JamesMOMB on #MOMBcast… http://tumblr.com/xi54s28ob #
#MOMBcast @JamesMOMB just totally invented a very private tattoo on @JaneMOMB. Plus, I made a silly joke about having a small penis. #
Also, that bit where I was talking about us having issues was where I properly lost it. #MOMBcast #
Hoping Girl One doesn't listen to this bit until AFTER the wedding. #MOMBcast #
THIS IS A LIST OF THE PEOPLE WE LOVE. #MOMBCast #
Jon & @RichMOMB are more loveable now they're dead. #MOMBcast #
Burglars… don't go round to @ryanklindsay's & steal the Playstation he may or may not have, okay? Just DON'T. #MOMBCast #
"Australia is the reason I don't trust London." @JamesMOMB #MOMBcast 13 #
"Can we stop talking about this now?" – @JaneMOMB on #MOMBcast 13 http://tumblr.com/xi54s2bju #
@jhewlett Well, we'll just have to see who says the most awesome quoteworthy things, won't we?? ?? ?? in reply to jhewlett #
#MOMBcast question… – Do you dance or sing out loud while listening to music on the street? http://tumblr.com/xi54s2ecd #
"I’m new to minituarisation, James, give me some credit!" – @JaneMOMB on #MOMBcast 13 http://tumblr.com/xi54s2ext #
Hot shit Santa sound bombs! @JamesMOMB is convinced that the special Christmas #MOMBcasts are going to be awful. Not sure why… #
Overheard: #MOMBcast exchange – Nick: Not right, God. James: Yeah! And we know you listen. http://tumblr.com/xi54s2i1a #
We talk about Christmas songs. Cliff Richard dancing freaks @JaneMOMB out. A bit after recording #MOMBcast, @JamesMOMB loved JLS a bit. #
HAY YOU GUYS, I don't think we're giving this Skizz showcase the appropriate level of respect. #MOMBcast #
No, @JaneMOMB, we HAVEN'T read Skellig. PUT THAT in your pipe and SMOKE IT. Listener, she doesn't smoke a pipe. It is a euphemism. #MOMBcast #
I think @JaneMOMB is about to start crying as @JamesMOMB talks about Skizz. #MOMBcast #
I think we had quite an interesting chat about 2000AD in #MOMBcast 13. Worth tuning into, in the last 20 minutes. #
@thoughtmecca The slots you & @georgelondon have are Sunday/Monday to begin. If you don't mind, I want to give you Monday, to ease GL in. #
@georgelondon …Which means you need to find an image to post on Sunday, cuz. #
"This anus is suffocating us." @JamesMOMB #MOMBcast 13 #
I want them to read Halo Jones, listener. You too. #MOMBcast #
Burglars! Don't come round to my house and burgle me! There will be a man with a machete in there. #MOMBcast Also, dog on a tiny piano! #
The best reason I can give @JamesMOMB for not wanking while eating the pizza is it will reduce his pizza eating time. #MOMBcast #
Overheard: …Another #MOMBcast exchange: – James: Don't make me angry when I've got my cock in my hand…. http://tumblr.com/xi54s2xk4 #
This week, @JaneMOMB just suggested that fucking corpses is my specialty. OH NICE. Having a girl on #MOMBcast was meant to make it gentler. #
Hm. I think that went well, @JamesMOMB. No sharks in sight. HAVE FAITH, BROTHER! #MOMBcast #
I'm singing. I'm singing again! We don't even drink any more when we do these, either. #MOMBcast #
Tune in next week for the #MOMBcast Secret Santa results, listener! #MOMBcast Oh dear, I just totally lost it again. #
@georgelondon Yeah… most important thing is that you've permission to use it. We can talk over weekend about what that means, yeah? in reply to georgelondon #
And that's the #MOMBcast done. See you later! #
