Speaking to @Chris_TOMP with @JamesMOMB & @JaneMOMB was a LOT of fun on the #MOMBcast tonight. Failed t'ask silly questions that were silly. #
@disqus I think there may be a small delay on how long it takes for reblogs and comments to be picked up on some posts, is all. in reply to disqus #
Right. Bed! #
@ILoveMyBrick Oh, man… What's up with her? in reply to ILoveMyBrick #
@JohnnyThomson2 Ok, that's hopefully the most terrifying thing I'll see this morning… in reply to JohnnyThomson2 #
@Wossy Thankfully, the journo assigned to scour celeb accounts won't understand nuance & allusion… in reply to Wossy #
@Wossy …Because I'm PRETTY SURE that "checking all bits are working" translates as "had a wank". At least, that's how I'D put it! in reply to Wossy #
@SamShepherd I got an e-mail from them last night – let me check what it says… in reply to SamShepherd #
@SamShepherd … Hm… apparently they had a redesign. Not sure why that'd break their site… in reply to SamShepherd #
Colleagues have set up webcams to try & catch cleaner stealing coffee. This morning is like an extremely low rent version of 24 or CSI… #
@JamesMOMB Heh… Intermittent smiling sounds vaguely positive. & yes, ALWAYS the SCARLET WITCH DID IT. in reply to JamesMOMB #
@rolhirst Heh… and where would be the fun in that? in reply to rolhirst #
Heh… @Al_Ewing is killing me softly with his #dullhaiku this morning. Very dull, and very haiku. #
@jamiesmart "Tonight thank god it's them instead of you"? in reply to jamiesmart #
About to listen to last night's #MOMBcast (Number 18!). A bit nervous. @Chris_TOMP was clever, & I think I got a bit whiny about SWORD. #
#MOMBcast 18 is RIGHT HERE: http://is.gd/5LWa9 #
(No, Google, I did NOT mean fucking BOMBcast. I meant #MOMBcast. Cheeky fuckers.) #
@Al_Ewing Oh, for sure, but you are the person rocking it in my timeline, so as far as I'm concerned you are the only person doing it! in reply to Al_Ewing #
@rolhirst Oh, for sure, torture is fun. But I'm damned if I'll do it just to find out where the coffee goes… I'm a professional. in reply to rolhirst #
@acheverton Sadly, that's the modern workplace. in reply to acheverton #
@mmetcalfe LOLs! in reply to mmetcalfe #
Warning: new Dr Who geekery – mayweed: You just can’t help yourself, can you, missus? Great stuff, though -… http://tumblr.com/xi55qqfpe #
Some days, for some reason, Firefox really doesn't work all that well, here at work. Decamping to IE for the rest of the morning. #
@JamesMOMB TOO GOOD? in reply to JamesMOMB #
@DJDarren Weirdly, I've found that on the days when the network/my poor, punished work pc doesn't like Firefox, it ALSO doesn't like Chrome. in reply to DJDarren #
Chris Morris is a genius – Yes… yes he is… (via mayweed) http://tumblr.com/xi55qqlo4 #
@Sulman Heh… which one? The inexplicably white guy? (Doesn't Morris know that all terrorists are dark-skinned?) in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman Oh, yeah, THAT one… in reply to Sulman #
RT @loscampesinos: Just a reminder that our new album is currently streaming over at http://is.gd/6NnES (& it is a thing of AWESOME) #
@JamesMOMB You sound lovely! in reply to JamesMOMB #
@Sulman @steevbishop It is mostly very very exciting, with a side order of actually, properly hilarious. I want to see it! #
@Sulman @steevbishop Was curious whether he'd go the Barley route of crushingly claustrophobic neutral performances, or go with jokes… #
@Sulman @steevbishop …He went with jokes! I lolled! #
@Sulman (Are you following #gamesblamedforrickets tag? Some moments of awesome, there. Immune System Shock! Meningitis Of Honor! brAIDs!) in reply to Sulman #
@Al_Ewing The landlord visit? I hate it. Surreal as fuck – stress over tidying up, only to discover their priorities are totally different. in reply to Al_Ewing #
@Al_Ewing …finding yourself almost WILLING them to look closer, so your efforts to hide shit weren't TOTALLY futile. in reply to Al_Ewing #
Right. Computer finally seems to be working the way it should be. Yay! Will have to listen to #MOMBcast after lunch now, though… #
…Got a lunch meeting (heh, that sounds importanter than it is!) about an Elephant Words thing. A LUNCH MEETING! Cuppa tea at library cafe. #
@Al_Ewing We've been dodging a bullet on a final pre-move inspection, for various reasons: I haven't missed the hassle… in reply to Al_Ewing #
@Al_Ewing My punctuation on that last tweet is just confusing… sorry! in reply to Al_Ewing #
I think @jamiesmart is WAY prettier than Leona Lewis. #
http://is.gd/6NtQZ – Romance Is Boring vid by @loscampesinos, in ASCII. Best in Simple mode. LOTS of static, punctuated with flashes of YAY. #
@steevbishop Heh… You know, cos I'm being careful with cash (too little too late?) I'm going to be sitting there with no tea or food. in reply to steevbishop #
Video: The Sea Is A Good Place To Think Of The Future There isn’t a single thing about this song that I don’t… http://tumblr.com/xi55qrs7x #
http://is.gd/6Nxbr I normally quite like The Oatmeal. Problematically, this strip represents my top Twitter behaviour bugbear… #
FUCK! #
…The only Twitter commandment that means a damn to me, ultimately: Thou shalt not dictate other people's usage of Twitter. #
Option to unfollow/block means bitching that people use Twitter in a way that doesn't interest you is just angry, unsatisfying masturbation. #
(Yes, yes, I know, is there ANY OTHER kind of masturbation, really?) #
@belledejour_uk Prob no need to make that question specifically about sex, either, is there? Strip out "about sex" & ask/answer still work! in reply to belledejour_uk #
@Sulman Nah, I don't always find The Oatmeal funny, & it wasn't selection what done it this time. They aren't new observations, are they? in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman You thought it was uncomfortable, I thought! The strip just felt more about snark than gags, to me, is all. I prefer surprises! in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman …I mean, in jokes. I prefer surprises in jokes. I don't like surprises in any other situations. REALLY don't. (@georgelondon) in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman Oh, not at all… I'm guilty, at times, of 1 to 10, after a fashion… If guilty is the right word. I REVEL IN IT! in reply to Sulman #
@belle_lulu Hello, you! in reply to belle_lulu #
@Alfie Heh… was that in relation to the song video things I posted, or the conversation about Twitter/Oatmeal? in reply to Alfie #
@TeeshMgray Well, I DID want to be black. But the only 2 black people I know in real life have spoiled it by being SO uncool. in reply to TeeshMgray #
I think @TeeshMgray is going to kill me, now. #
@Alfie Are the BBC seriously expecting me to look up those inscriptions? Couldn't they have included them in the article? Lazy fuckers. in reply to Alfie #
@Sulman @georgelondon James hit the nail on the head… it's leaving the house that has me worried… #
RT @badmachinery: PRO TIP: To see how you'll look with your tattoo in 50 years, have your nan get it first. #
@gimpnelly That's a road that's best not gone down. Everybody sees everybody different than how somebody wants to be seen by everybody. Uh. in reply to gimpnelly #
@gimpnelly …hang on… I know there was a point I was hoping to make there somewhere… in reply to gimpnelly #
OH GREAT. Another pair of trousers with an untenable hole in the pocket. Tell-tale sign was ipod sliding down leg during that last tweet. #
@georgelondon Perish the thought. I was thinking all facebook? in reply to georgelondon #
@jamiesmart I thought so. Haven't seen a picture of you before, but I am going on INSTINCTS! I have good instincts… in reply to jamiesmart #
@rolhirst The one silver lining that seems to be consistent across ALL my dark clouds. When in doubt, the plus side is pocket billiards. in reply to rolhirst #
@el_matt Oh, bloody hell. I'm Harry, aren't I? Because of the glasses. I'll NEVER get to be the one who snogs Hermione. in reply to el_matt #
@el_matt Heh… Keep looking for the probably underage younger sister of my best friend…? That's… actually, you might have something. in reply to el_matt #
@JamesMOMB No no no no no! The lesson learnt is "take a local recording". We'll know next time. It's all good. in reply to JamesMOMB #
Guh. Dammit. We've run out of sugar. I have to use vile sweeteners in my coffee instead… #
… #
… Wow, I'm all about the lame middle-class winnying today, aren't I? #
Right, then. Come on, let's go, pretty darling. I mean, #MOMBcast 18. http://is.gd/5LWa9 Listen along with me… #
What! What is that made up language at the beginning? #MOMBcast #
The sound is a bit weird already. @Chris_TOMP is telling you all to go screw yourself in Klingon. #MOMBcast #
…Also, because we introduce her as Christine, you can hear me faltering whenever I say Chris, despite me KNOWING it's okay. #MOMBcast #
God, we were all REALLY showing off for @Chris_TOMP. Before last night, I didn't have the SLIGHTEST problem with the Finnish. #MOMBcast #
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 #
