• @belle_lulu Um. Sorry, Mr Winner… I'm not going to calm down about finally getting the keys to the new house… This merits excitement! in reply to belle_lulu #
• @belle_lulu Also, this Michael Winner thing is becoming a bit of a problem for you, isn't it? You do KNOW that you're much prettier, right? in reply to belle_lulu #
• @TeeshMgray Yeah, but proud of her child's achievement, or how lovely they were? No! The fact that they're "Emo", of all things! Goodness! in reply to TeeshMgray #

• @belle_lulu She was born in Widnes, and studied in London… do they talk plummy fake English there? I am not a fan, mainly cos of Samantha. in reply to belle_lulu #
• @jamiesmart What on earth TV is that? I don't remember that scene from World's Deadliest Warrior… in reply to jamiesmart #
• @TeeshMgray Sad to be missing you tomorrow. I was just talking to my other local black female friend tonight about you going. It was sad. in reply to TeeshMgray #
• @jamiesmart Heh. It is pretty much what the word AWESOME was invented for. in reply to jamiesmart #
• @Sulman Heh… can't do that till Elephant Words is sorted for another six weeks! Almost there… Good night? in reply to Sulman #
• Poor dog is totally freaked out. From days and weeks of boxes, to sudden packing flurries, to houseful of gorgeous, excitable girls earlier. #
• …Oddly enough, dog will prob settle totally, once we're in the new house. She's well-used to that part of the process… #
• …Sad to admit, dog has been on average in a different house for every year of her life. It's the activity that freaks her out! #
• @thoughtmecca It was Girl One & a bunch of her friends. Your mileage may vary, but wonderfully, I think most of them are cute as fuck. in reply to thoughtmecca #
• @TeeshMgray Course, dude. Of course. Mind you, she's ever such a tiny bit cooler, on account of she's a black LESBIAN. in reply to TeeshMgray #
• Fucking hell… Girl One just dropped a Tescos own-brand pepper grinder, which we'd assumed was plastic, a tiny distance to the floor… #
• …It exploded & (no pun intended) peppered her leg with a mini-shower of glass, leaving streaming bloody cuts. Blimey. Fuck you, Tesco. #

• Was sleepy for #MOMBcast recording last night. Then @JamesMOMB fed us with lovely chilli, but I badly burnt the roof of my mouth. BADLY. #
• …The roof of my mouth is now all smooth & wobbly & feels like wannamakemesick. I was already coming down with something. Now I feel Blech. #
• Also, when they say that moving house is one of the most stressful things, I think they mean "moving house with someone else"… #
• …One situation where two heads aren't always better than one. #
• Also, it doesn't matter what you go through, and with who, throughout your life… We will all die alone. #
• …Unless we come up with some sort of suicide pact. #
• @rolhirst I was tired and oddly nervous when talking about PJANG last night, & feel like I drastically sold it short. I LOVE that 1st story! in reply to rolhirst #

• RT @JamesMOMB: @nixsight 23rd in the Brook, great band, tiny venue HAPPY JOY! (@georgelondon) #
• @Sulman I, also, am amused. in reply to Sulman #
• @neenerspb Definitely. Apparently, though, you can't just steal someone else's? I'm not entirely sure how Girl One & I will achieve one… in reply to neenerspb #

• @georgelondon @neenerspb Nope. NO! I refuse to compromise on this. There is a very specific tone we're after. We need to make this happen! in reply to georgelondon #

• The lady in the little training video I just saw had the most awesome Bjork-esque Icelandic-Cockney accent. It was lovely! #
• @georgelondon No, I think it might be Billy I'm thinking of. Oh. Hm. Confused, now. in reply to georgelondon #
• @Chris_TOMP It may come as no surprise, but I'm a big fan of both 2nd hand American AND English accents. Lovely indeed. Lost Bjork a bit. in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• @georgelondon Uh, seems stupid to ask, but did you get my DM? in reply to georgelondon #
• Don't think I'm going to be able to make Goblets after work, you guys. Anyone fancy helping us paint a room tonight? #
• @JamesMOMB Who said anything about no beer? @Sulman I'm afraid there's too much not been done for us to move tomorrow… #
• Kitchen needs cleaning/Few hours of packing needs doing, & we can't sleep in an actual BED until the room has been painted & dried. #

• @Sulman G1 actually told me to go out for a couple. G1 hasn't quite got the hang of how much still needs doing. in reply to Sulman #
• @JamesMOMB (The paint, incidentally, doesn't factor into tonight's workload. It just means we'll have to do it tomorrow, once moved. ) in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @Sulman True enough. The moving itself isn't the hassle, but the packing has proven problematic, this time. Due to half doing it months ago! in reply to Sulman #
• @Sulman 'Fraid not. G1's parents are hiring the van/bringing furniture from Oxford. Tbh it'd be better to have Sunday to calm down b4 work. in reply to Sulman #
• @SamShepherd Heh… I think it depends on how fucked up your purchase is likely to get. I mean, of course, G1 & I were a rare case… in reply to SamShepherd #
• @SamShepherd …This week HAS been fucking ridiculous, though. G1 had a parent's evening AS WELL AS two evenings at work. & her birthday. in reply to SamShepherd #

• @RichMOMB Like I'm glad I didn't choose you as my best man. in reply to RichMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB Yes, well. You are a bigger man, & as such can take heavier hits. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB Well, in that case his suggestions in those tweets were misrepresentative of his intentions! in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @Sulman Should I put that caveat in my Tumblr, d'you think? I mean, I've always been pretty pro-American, but it might not be that obvious? in reply to Sulman #
• @Sulman Yup. That's one of the reasons that I posted it. in reply to Sulman #
• @Sulman Otherwise it'd just be another "Angry, dumb American versus irritatingly smug European" exchange, & those are pretty annoying. in reply to Sulman #
• @Sulman That he's addressing it to Obama makes it more interesting, I think. in reply to Sulman #

• Oh dear, Wilf, do stop crying. #
• Fuck me, does EVERYONE have to have a bit of a cry in this episode? Also, how long exactly does it take to make a decision on who to shoot? #
• Is this how RTD always imagined the regenerations should be, as a wee little man sitting in his bedroom of a Saturday night? It scares me. #
• …Admit to being a bit warmed by the bits with all of the assistants, mind. #
• Feel like it diminishes Tennant's often badass Doctor somewhat that he went out more whiny than any other I can remember. Not very heroic… #
• …& ends his run by being the only Doctor who almost takes out the TARDIS as he goes. Sulky! #
• …And swoosh! The gurning charmer exits, the young conservative enters, flapping and being VERY likeable on entry. "I'm a girl!" Nice! #
• …Can't help but think that "Geronimo!" was a quite natural thing to shout, given the circumstances. Doesn't HAVE to be a new catchphrase. #
• Oh, what? So I'm tweeting about the Dr Who finale, as everyone else talks about Apple? I'm a month behind? Fuck. #

• @sgtmongoose Y'know, if that was a YT comment instead of a Tweet, it'd take someone exactly 5 seconds to work "nigger" into a response… in reply to sgtmongoose #

• @neenerspb See, "fag" I can see, as though it was intended as abusive to a sexuality, now I think it's more indicative of behaviours… in reply to neenerspb #
• @neenerspb …By which I mean I can you can see gay people using it as descriptive of particularly camp or lame behaviour. But "nigger"? in reply to neenerspb #
• @neenerspb …What the fuck is THAT supposed to be indicative of? It's prob the ONLY word that's off limits in our house, tbh. in reply to neenerspb #

• This lady's English is better than she gives herself credit for. I think she's using it as a defense against not comprehending the tech. #

• I totally agree with this. http://is.gd/7dAcL @hannahnicklin Issue isn't so much the existence of such porn as the lack of other influence. #
• @steevbishop Moodle replicates – a little awkwardly – the folder structure that Windows encourages & Apple avoids. It throws some people… in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop …But not in a way that is to the detriment of either system. That there's a language barrier outwardly appears to be issue… in reply to steevbishop #

• @Chris_TOMP Maybe he's in a relationship with you? in reply to Chris_TOMP #

• Dammit, @Chris_TOMP is totally wrong. The thing I made up on the spot about the Swedish Chef is DEFINITELY true. #MOMBcast #
• @RichMOMB Dare! Dare! in reply to RichMOMB #
• Geez, listen, every time @Chris_TOMP cut out, she was being AWESOME. Stupid recording processes. #MOMBcast #
• This whole thing about @JaneMOMB & smurfs is GOLDEN. #MOMBcast #
• @Chris_TOMP Phonecall with G1… on we go! in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• Overheard: #MOMBCast 18: Really, James? The ONLY explanation? – @JamesMOMB: Jane'll know all about smurfs…. http://tumblr.com/xi55qw64d #
• Post imperial guilt! OH YEAH! #MOMBcast! #
• We are SO fucking Bourgeois! #MOMBcast #
• Nick Papaconstantinou: Psychopath magnet! #MOMBcast #
• Hooligans, rotters, and nasty young men. #MOMBcast #
• #MOMBcast – @JamesMOMB has a page of filth on his wall. #
• I don't know that, by the way… I don't know that Grant Morrison & Mark Millar are good friends. I know they KNEW each other. #MOMBcast #
• Having @Chris_TOMP on made me feel really preoccupied with trying to make sense. So had the opposite effect. Oh dear. #MOMBcast #
• .@JaneMOMB "pointed out" that story element by silently pointing at the panel on the page repeatedly with sweet look on her face. #MOMBcast #
• Overheard: MOMBcast 18: An Euphemism for Death – @nixsight: You sound like you're in another room…. http://tumblr.com/xi55qwf6p #
• Actually, talking to @Chris_TOMP about Spider-Woman & Daredevil has reminded me that you CAN be enthusiastic AND critical. #MOMBcast #
• On Spider-Woman – @Chris_TOMP COULDN'T stop staring at her BREASTS! #MOMBcast #
• What we DIDN'T ask @Chris_TOMP was whether she's got the first hand experience of spandex that it sounds like she has. #MOMBcast 18 #
• Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth. Dept of THANKS FOR THAT, @JaneMOMB. #
• @Chris_TOMP That was a bit out of order, wasn't it? It was a private moment of conversation between the four of us & I've betrayed it! in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• @Chris_TOMP He's not ALWAYS that booby, is he? in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• Bazooms, #MOMBcast Nick? Also, Genitalia isn't pronounced like that. #
• …Also, is there a single other podcast that has used the word "bifurcate" in more than one episode? Or is it just #MOMBcast #
• Oh, ZING, @Chris_TOMP. Yes, @JamesMOMB & @Chris_TOMP, I talk a lot. HA HA HA. #MOMBcast #
• Did @butwin really tell @JamesMOMB that he has to do the #MOMBcast with no pants on? #
• @Chris_TOMP Heh… yeah, I was making a cheeky joke! in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• From the point when @Chris_TOMP started using the "sucking on hard candy" analogy, I knew I was fucked. #MOMBcast 18 #
• Reading Spider-Woman is like sucking on hard candy. That's all you need to know. #MOMBcast #
• "I couldn’t help myself. I’m Swedish, we’re like that." – @Chris_TOMP http://tumblr.com/xi55qwt0s #
• JIM BROADBENT! I'm talking about fucking JIM BROADBENT! The king of Sweden looks just like him. #MOMBcast 18 #
• Hey, @JamesMOMB, I was only sniping on you so much to try & build myself up to the new girl. You know that, right? #MOMBcast #
• I STILL think that it sounded like @Chris_TOMP was stalking @andydiggle. @JaneMOMB REALLY got upset with me, too. #MOMBcast #
• Whenever I say "research", that's what I mean. Also, @JamesMOMB DOESN'T rape geese. He ALWAYS gets consent. #MOMBcast #
• Greeks ARE supposed to be able to roll their "r"s. I really wasn't making it up. And I can't. It's not interesting, but it's true. #MOMBcast #
• Stop saying "monkey". For the love of god, stop! #MOMBcast #
• I am actually defining what counts as stalking, now. WTH? One stupid internet debate & I'm King of aberrant sexual relations. #MOMBcast #
• @Chris_TOMP No no no no no! I didn't say you WERE. I said it sounded like… look, it made sense at the time. in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• Weird echoes! WEIRD! #MOMBcast #
• When @JamesMOMB says "That's the thing with these established titles, though…", he sounds like a mechanic making an excuse. #MOMBcast #
• @TeeshMgray I THINK you'll find that the coolest black person I will ever know is Will Smith. Aww, hell, yes! in reply to TeeshMgray #
• "No. I did almost have a strop, though… a tantrum. I just wanted to chuck all the comic-books off the…" http://tumblr.com/xi55qxd99 #
• First live pussy cat on the #MOMBcast. Also, Robot Fear from @JaneMOMB. #
• @TeeshMgray Oh, no, I don't know Will Smith NOW. But I WILL do one day. You said "coolest black person you'll ever know." in reply to TeeshMgray #
• @TeeshMgray …actually, I think the coolest black person I know is probably Vince. in reply to TeeshMgray #
• Not sure who @JaneMOMB thinks is going to slate her. Everybody Loves JaneMOMB. Also, I loved "Done some murders"… #MOMBcast #
• "Tons of robots!" "No, no robots!" #MOMBcast #
• Hope @Chris_TOMP is okay at this bit. She's gone all quiet. Oh, cute, I just checked on her. I'm so thoughtful. #MOMBcast #
• Talking about relative national guilt complexes. The Swedish have Luther at their shoulder. Not LEX, you understand. #MOMBcast #
• This is basically two minutes of @JamesMOMB talking about Superman shitting himself. Also, @JaneMOMB ACTUALLY BRINGS NOTES. #MOMBcast #
• @imjustmike You know, it really, really is. in reply to imjustmike #
• @TeeshMgray Officially? You have, like, a formal process & such? Love you, really! All 3 black people I know are EQUALLY the coolest! in reply to TeeshMgray #
• Hah, @JamesMOMB… we've totally taken over your review bit! Also, none of these people have ever heard the term "In anger". #MOMBcast #
• @JamesMOMB Well, I don't really think of you as a fat person. If I DID, I think so, maybe, yes. Otherwise, no. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• Hang… on… I sound really negative about Marvel in this bit. I'm sorry. I'M REALLY SORRY, YOU GUYS! #MOMBcast #
• Just going on and on and on about this S.W.O.R.D thing. I'm sorry. I just love it so much! #MOMBcast 18 #
• @JamesMOMB Yup. I don't see body shape. Or colour. Or disability. I'm One Of Those. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• Marvel are apparently listening to which comics I like the most on the #MOMBcast, and cancelling them. It's a CONSPIRACY! #MOMBcast #
• STILL talking about it. Still. Just starting to run out of steam now, seven minutes later. #MOMBcast #
• Mentioned after recording the #MOMBcast that I could happily have talked to @Chris_TOMP about Daredevil for HOURS. Really cool. #MOMBcast… #
• …Also, @Chris_TOMP not agreeing with me on Ann Nocenti's Daredevil run made me realise that I'd idealised it somewhat… #MOMBcast #
• @Butwin That's EXACTLY what you are. You're Robert Redford in Indecent Proposal. And @JamesMOMB is Demi Moore. Which makes ME Woody… in reply to Butwin #
• …I wondered whether there's an argument for the idea that Nocenti was exploring what happens when Murdock gets too arrogant. #MOMBcast #
• …Not something that's particularly in the foreground, but it followed Murdock surviving the worst & ended with him battling ACTUAL demons. #
• At the time, I thought Nocenti's run was quite grounded & when it went "out there" it felt like a shift in pace, but wonder now if it's… #
• …what she intended all along, and the early, Hell's Kitchen stuff was the slow-start. #
• NEED to re-read those issues. #
• @andydiggle @Chris_TOMP is talking about your Daredevil from around 01:43:00 on #MOMBcast 18. She's very positive about it. YAY! #
• @Butwin Hell yes! Doughnuts for old rope, innit? in reply to Butwin #
