• Despite getting to bed at a decent time, I didn't sleep well. Anya was sick a little before bedtime, & my dreams were full of vomit. #
• @jhewlett @jhewlett Oh, nice. Well done @TeeshMgray, I say. in reply to jhewlett #
• Someone in my office just said "It's pay day Pandamonium". I'll give you 3 guesses who. (It was @samwisemoss) #
• @jhewlett Well, then, you, sir, would be wrong. in reply to jhewlett #
• BTW, that would have made more sense if I'd said it properly. It's Pay Day PANDA-Monium. #
• @georgelondon He meant that there was no point him using the hashtag, cos he's got a private account. in reply to georgelondon #
• @Sulman Oh, nice! No point asking whether YOU'RE around for Starbucksing, then! in reply to Sulman #
• @Sulman Oh, very droll… in reply to Sulman #
• Apparently Portsmouth has gone into administration. Sigh, we were only there the other night & the place looked fine. A little quiet, maybe. #
• Watching This Week on iPlayer. Oh, Jesse… I like the sentiment, but I'd be surprised if ALL of those people really WERE necessary. #
• @jowadsworth I really, really haven't ever understood it. in reply to jowadsworth #
• Teehee. Michael Portillo just said that there was a big black shadow over the economy, in front of Jesse Jackson. My inner PC Monkey winced. #

• @JamesMOMB What's going on? in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @georgelondon There you go! in reply to georgelondon #
• Are Michael Portillo and Diane Abbott a couple? They act like a couple! I kind of want them to kiss. #
• @loscampesinos Oooh, Microserfs! Who's reading that? in reply to loscampesinos #
• @loscampesinos It's a great book… it was my primary route into enjoying Coupland – I never got on with Generation X. (Sigh.) in reply to loscampesinos #
• @steevbishop Well, it's not me. Mine are still working, look… Oh, hang on. Fuck, busted. in reply to steevbishop #
• @JamesMOMB Haven't looked – have the stats dropped? in reply to JamesMOMB #
• Watching This Week with @belledejour_uk. I mean, she's on. I'm not watching it with her here. That would be a bit peculiar on a work day… #
• @belledejour_uk …Problem with Portillo's notion of teen pregnancy as a lifestyle choice is that horrid as it is, it's not hard to come to. in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk …tho idea that it's entirely financial is simplistic, it's an observable behaviour, at least in some places. in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk I think Abbott's point is closer, but it's enabled by the situation Portillo described. Some teens DO make that choice… in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk (It's the difference between a calculated decision & a smart, educated one, of course!) #
• Is that really why Carnivale got canned? Hm. #
• Ok, no, scratch that… it WAS because of low viewing figures. #
• @steevbishop Have you looked at @glasses_direct? They're pretty quick… though not immediate, if that's what you need… good value though. in reply to steevbishop #

• @acheverton Is this a trick question? in reply to acheverton #
• @Butwin But… who does that make me? I'd like to be whossname – Michael Bien – but suspect I'm actually Dyson. in reply to Butwin #
• @Sulman "Had some proximity" sounds more loaded than I'd like… in reply to Sulman #
• @Butwin Yup! in reply to Butwin #
• http://is.gd/9f0hu – MOMBcast #23 – listening to it now. COMICS! #
• #MOMBcast #23… @JakeMOMB introduces the show… peculiarly, because @JaneMOMB is ALSO in the room. Hm. Can there be an explanation? #
• #MOMBCast #23 Jake sounded a little different this week… #
• @Sulman Hah… I fully expect to read about this in the local papers… in reply to Sulman #
• …Oh, yeah, there apparently IS an explanation. It's just not a very good one. #MOMBcast 23 #
• Oh, apparently that WASN'T @JakeMOMB. It was one of @JamesMOMB's cuckolding cockheads… #MOMBCast 23 #
• Yeah, you can tell I was in an odd mood because my voice went all high-pitched for most of these first few minutes. #MOMBcast 23 #
• Oh yeah, this was the bit where I mentioned that I stinked at the @loscampesinos gig. I kind of wished I hadn't brought it up. #MOMBCast 23 #
• Things I've learned about @loscampesinos from listening to the #MOMBcast 23: There are 50 of them. They are all so young & pretty. #
• How many James Bond films have ski chase bits in them? I need to know! (From anyone who isn't @JamesMOMB or @RichMOMB) #MOMBcast 23 #
• @acheverton I meant that the "Anyone Knew Why?" bit sounded like something a teacher might say to find out if class has been listening… in reply to acheverton #
• @acheverton …It wasn't meant to be taken seriously. in reply to acheverton #
• #MOMBcast 23…I'm absolutely right about effing & jeffing in films. Films with big budgets tend to not be that explicit any more. #
• Teehee… @JamesMOMB made a Queen joke. #MOMBcast 23 #
• "Are you suggesting that the Green Lantern is a lesbian?" – #MOMBcast 23 – we think that the Green Lantern is… http://tumblr.com/xi56u4275 #

• @acheverton S'alright, youse! in reply to acheverton #
• .@RichMOMB talking about Choker #1 – I think Rich is really hitting his stride with his #MOMBcast reviews, now, which is lovely. #
• GoldMAN, not GoldSMITH, @JamesMOMB. Thought as much! #MOMBcast 23 #

• @SamShepherd I feel your pain on that one. in reply to SamShepherd #
• Poor @JamesMOMB, taking the full weight of my despondency on #MOMBcast 23 #
• @belledejour_uk Will look forward to that blog! Agree with what @Sulman just said, but also think it ties into what you said on show… in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk Part of problem is there's little to no emotional value placed on the whole milieu for many kids, by education OR society. in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk It's no surprise to me, but should be noted by others, that you've got these particular opinions on these subject… #
• @belledejour_uk Problems with sex culture aren't promiscuity or quantity – it's the opposite extremes of hollowness & hysteria on subject… in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk Your comment about faith schools caught me by surprise at 1st, but then made PERFECT sense to me. in reply to belledejour_uk #
• "You have to put Jesus out of your mind." Also: "Tina Fey is like Jesus". @JamesMOMB, ladies & gents! #MOMBcast 23 #
• "I'm James Insert Surname Here Can I Have My Standing Order Please. Can I have my standing order please?" @JamesMOMB #MOMBCast 23 #
• Oh, I think I really tear into Mark Millar in a second. I got a bit more fired up than I meant to. #MOMBcast 23 #
• You can't believe a single word he says, though. #MOMBcast 23 #
• Oh, forgot about @JamesMOMB's endless notebook. #MOMBcast 23 #
• Oh god. @RichMOMB sounded a bit like Ricky Gervais for a brief second there, & now I can't hear anything but! FUCK. #MOMBcast 23 #
• YES, @JAMESMOMB, THAT WAS MY POINT! The whole thing about @butwin THAT WAS MY POINT. JESUS. #MOMBcast 23 #
• @belledejour_uk I think people don't give some organised religions enough credit for some of the more moderate attitudes expressed in them. in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk I… am probably not explaining myself particularly well, as the end of the day approaches & requirements bundle together! in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk OH FINE! Go off to bed, when some of us have hours to go before sleep… in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk Or, I mean, bed. Hours to go before bed. in reply to belledejour_uk #
• Was Tintin a baddie? #MOMBcast 23 #
• FFS… @JamesMOMB is INSISTENT that Seinfeld invented "Yadda Yadda Yadda". He's an IDIOT! #MOMBcast 23 #

• #MOMBcast listeners/contributors… Timings up! And that's me out of here… #

• @rhodri I got the feeling there was an element of mischief in there, certainly. But that seemed quite a measured response, really. in reply to rhodri #
• @rhodri …It's not like he'll be unused to the abuse, is it? in reply to rhodri #
• @SamShepherd I hear that! Oh, last time you were in, did you notice if they've got stock of any extra shelves for… never mind. in reply to SamShepherd #
• @JamesMOMB I thought DAF was a Welsh word. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @rhodri Understood the raw bluntness of the reaction, but thought comparison people seemed to make to the Moir thing a little distasteful… in reply to rhodri #
• @rhodri …the visceral reaction to his quite tame anti-obit diminishes the nasty sentiment in Moir's piece by comparison. in reply to rhodri #
• @rhodri But then, I would say that. I didn't know who McQueen was, & got into trouble for similar arguments after Diana died. in reply to rhodri #
• RT @dailyecho: Arsonists torch car http://bit.ly/bO6eZ5 Well, obviously. That's what arsonists do. #
• I love the accidentally philosophical nature of the RSS fed-headline. It amuses me no end. (No disrespect to the papers involved…) #
• RT @dailyecho: Watch out for flooding http://bit.ly/bmJYbc – Would seem to be excellent advice for life in general. #
• @rhodri Wouldn't like to say, 'cos I obviously don't value fashion – if you saw me, you'd understand! – but I did find it disproportionate. in reply to rhodri #
• Ikea is a vortex of incompatible emotional reactions, innit? I hate the place instinctively, but can't help loving the ease of use. @Sulman #
• …Maybe because I just don't like shops very much, and Ikea is like the ULTIMATE shop. But is good at it. #
• @SamShepherd It might be your eyes, by this point. Tho, what am I saying, you're using spirit levels, innit? The instructions say so. in reply to SamShepherd #
• @Sulman Fuck me. That's perfect! in reply to Sulman #
• RT @Sulman on Ikea: If I was to put my finger on it, it's the zenith of convenient, homogenous consumerism. #
• @rhodri What bothers me most about things like this is that they make people I think of as smart behave appallingly. Or like Alan Davies. in reply to rhodri #
• @SamShepherd Ah, I think screws etc can still go in at funny angles, if you're not careful. The shelves we got needed constant checking. in reply to SamShepherd #
• @SamShepherd (spirit-level still didn't agree with my concept of spatial awareness, mind. Seemed right at angles at odds with wrong ones.) in reply to SamShepherd #
• Nobody ends up covered in glory from a full-on slanging match, but I think Young's tweet yesterday undercuts complaints of whining somewhat. #
• @JamesMOMB "Mix you metaphors"? LOLs. I'll mix YOU metaphors, you big lug! in reply to JamesMOMB #
• "Jay Leno has been on Twitter since last May, has sent 500 tweets, and has 30,000 followers. Conan has…" http://tumblr.com/xi56snftl #

• Overheard: @AndreinaCordani: I thought being flamed was an all part of the job description for you… http://tumblr.com/xi56snid5 #
• @JamesMOMB I think it's been framed that way in subsequent commentary, but I thought he was actually pretty reasonable. It would have… in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB …been disingenious to not say anything, & he could have been a LOT more defensive. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB Frankly, sometimes I think these journo flip-attacks are orchestrated just to get us chuntering about it. in reply to JamesMOMB #

• @rolhirst Congratulations, guys. CONGRATULATIONS! in reply to rolhirst #
• @JamesMOMB Course. Did you really get that much doe-eyed whining from his post? I thought he was saying he COULDN'T really call it bullying. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB But you see, I'm choosing to take that tweet as you passive-aggressively complaining about me calling you an idiot. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @Sulman My point exactly. Well, one of them, anyway. in reply to Sulman #
• @JamesMOMB (Though in that instance, I'd argue that you act like an idiot & admit you're an idiot in a mostly wry way, so if someone… in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB …misses the point in a non-ironic way, they're a cunt. But then, I might be projecting, there… ) in reply to JamesMOMB #
• Once you START reading headlines as abstract, hard to stop. Guardian says "Boy dies after being hit by falling lamp-post." My mind: blown… #
• Did the boy die BECAUSE of the impact, or was it just incidental? The phrasing suggests intent on the part of the lamp-post! & so on. #
• @JamesMOMB I'm choosing to believe THAT tweet was part of a continued elaborate campaign on your part. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @ourman Oh, well done! Haven't read post yet, but extrapolating from your tweets with @SamShepherd… Congratulations! in reply to ourman #

• @davidwynne No, I'm having a proper, full-on, in-depth conversation. @JamesMOMB is using Asterix analogies. in reply to davidwynne #
• @DJDarren Listen, I can't help it. I'm whiney. And liberal. in reply to DJDarren #
• @belledejour_uk Oh, lovely. Are you bolstering a pre-existing Wire habit with the DVDs, or this your first time? in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @JamesMOMB Polygamy ALREADY has a bad name. Who puts two ys in one word with all those Ls and Ps? in reply to JamesMOMB #
• "Terry Pratchett welcomes assisted suicide policy"? That's one of those headlines where you know what it means, but it doesn't sound right. #
• @idsharman DAMN YOU SHARMAN! I love being in the main hotel. It is swell. in reply to idsharman #
• @Sulman Jesus… managed an hour and twenty earlier, but it was still a little tiring. in reply to Sulman #
• Nice lunch with @Steevbishop. Did get a nasty splinter under my thumbnail from the Starbucks stirrer. 2nd coffee related splinter this year! #
• @Sulman That doesn't help… I'd just be MORE tense when I couldn't smoke, surely? Like, in Starbucks? in reply to Sulman #
• I think of it more as nervous energy than tension, mind. Tension suggests restraint, but I go through beermats like the Tazmanian Devil. #
• @JamesMOMB Thought you'd like that one. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @Sulman Yeah? I never FEEL particularly different, but then I suppose I wouldn't! in reply to Sulman #
• Fucking Libsyn! What use are HALF the useful stats, huh? HUH? #
• @JamesMOMB No I think it's true… it's just not very helpful! in reply to JamesMOMB #

• @winkswitheffort Did you not like them? in reply to winkswitheffort #
• @belledejour_uk …I know how this sounds, but I early adopted, & half resent the friends who get to watch it from the beginning, brand new. in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk …Which is to say, I will never get that amazing feeling of watching The Wire for the first time again. in reply to belledejour_uk #

• @steevbishop Stupid killer whale! I bet if the killer whale was a fashion designer, people wouldn't make so many jokes. in reply to steevbishop #
• RIP Dawn Brancheau. You were a genius at getting the killer whale to go through the water the way you wanted it to. You will be missed. #
• @BeaucoupKevin Seriously, I was pretty sure I'd end up spelling it wrong, so I figured I'd be sa… oh, hang on. Someone ELSE, right? in reply to BeaucoupKevin #
• @SamShepherd In the immortal words of Facebook, it's complicated. I'm seeing a lot of flip comments about killer whales, which is v.funny… in reply to SamShepherd #

• @JamesMOMB Tough one to call. If I go too far down the road on this one, I start to think too hard about fact that I own a dog. in reply to JamesMOMB #

• …but fun. One of the loscampos girls was just right, right THERE. I'm sure of it. #

• #bdjbc Just reading "Let The Right One In" by JA Lindqvist. Had it for a while, but put it off because of film connection. It is wonderful. #
• #bdjbc Just finished Patriot Acts by Greg Rucka. A decent thriller but not one of his best. Only really on its feet in 2nd half. #
• @belledejour_uk So far I'd go as far as to say a little better. An absolutely astonishing translation job – the prose is gorgeous. @rolhirst in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @belledejour_uk …I'd put it off because the film is just SO good – I don't read enough, so have greater fear of disappointment! in reply to belledejour_uk #
• @steevbishop A bunch of reasons. The main one being that a book has to be bloody amazing to get me through already familiar territory… in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop …Which is valid in this case cos if the writing wasn't exceptionally rich, knowing the story's secrets would yank much value. in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop …I mean, I obviously BOUGHT the thing, so intended to read it. Just hasn't been at top of pile for these reasons. in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop (It's also a bigger deal for something that's notionally a horror story, because much of the power is often in the reveals.) in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop When I bought the book? Yes. That's how I knew about the book. Didn't know about it before watchign film, mind. in reply to steevbishop #
• @davidwynne Not yet… Is it that good? I love Rucka's work, but felt that last couple of Kodiak novels had the Die Hard 4 effect… in reply to davidwynne #
• @davidwynne …That is, they were good enough action-thrillers, but felt far removed from what made Kodiak interesting. in reply to davidwynne #
• @davidwynne …Rucka is normally great at compartmentalising styles – Q&C novels very different, for example, so not sure what problem is. in reply to davidwynne #
• @ladychatterley You don't really have to comment all that intelligently. You have WATCHED the Wright Stuff before, yeah? in reply to ladychatterley #
• @steevbishop Mine too! With it so firmly stuck in my memory, reading the book seemed a foolish endeavour. in reply to steevbishop #
• @steevbishop Not so much difference as embellishment. The language adds a LOT, though. Not always the case, but this time, oh yes. in reply to steevbishop #

• @georgelondon Heh… have you entirely spaced out on what I was like as a teen, or was I just careful around you cos you're so delicate? in reply to georgelondon #
• @neenerspb Huh. Had you asked for a tow somewhere, or had he misunderstood your situation? in reply to neenerspb #
• @neenerspb Hang… On… The guy was a racist fuckhead, wasn't he? I missed the point again. in reply to neenerspb #
• @neenerspb Girls who win at Halo are HOT, too! in reply to neenerspb #
• @georgelondon That wasn't really my point! You suggested I had changed… In fact, I've simply refined my intentions… in reply to georgelondon #
• @georgelondon …That half a lifetime has allowed me to hone my swearing skillz. in reply to georgelondon #
• Fuck. Did all the pertinent research on this project after the last meeting, but now can't make sense of my notes, & follow up is tomorrow. #
• Hah… One of the Alternate Reality guys just cut in on another with a bad joke that fell flat. NEVER do rubbish shit like that on #MOMBCast #
• @neenerspb I know, that's lame. What's he saying, that black people are good at FPS games? It's a pretty shit insult, as it goes. in reply to neenerspb #
• @steevbishop ? Okay! Uh… I guess? Bickering? in reply to steevbishop #
• @kierongillen I think you & Sanders should kill the Beast & sneak it past editorial. That'd make the fuckers think twice next time! in reply to kierongillen #
• @kierongillen NB I know that that's both unlikely & impractical, btw. in reply to kierongillen #
• @Mykx Actually, I think I agree. in reply to Mykx #
• @JamesMOMB I don't know… I think he may just have gotten away with killing someone in public. But, you know, more honestly than the McC… in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB …No, I'm going to self-censor there, I reckon. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @steevbishop Okeydoke! in reply to steevbishop #
• If I'd killed someone 30 years ago – I mean, that I cared about – was a proper documentary maker & 70 years old, I wonder what I'd do… #
• …Some people can't keep much smaller secrets locked down for much shorter periods of time. Secrets can be painful to the keeper. #
• I'm talking about the mercy killing, btw. All those contracts I carried out in my teens sit very easy on my conscience. #
• @JamesMOMB LOLs. It depends on how you look at it. Had he worked in a supermarket the confession might have come out on the shop floor… in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB …I get the impression it wasn't about honouring the dead so much as getting it out of his system. At 70, he might feel wth! in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @Chris_TOMP I had to Google him, but he's all over the news today here. Ray Gosling will get you the story pretty quick. in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• Just to clarify: Are we shocked that Ray Gosling done the Bad AIDs murder, or that he was crazy enough to tell people about it? #
• @JamesMOMB Ah, what's the point of being that old if you have to be dignified at the same time? in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB I don't know if he's all that bothered about being punished for it. Crazy, yeah… but that's the forum he communicates in… in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB …If he was on Twitter & no longer cared about hanging onto that secret, he'd have done it here! in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @taz699572 I'm not really sure about that – I think it's smart to have the law there. There are some laws that are pursued more than others. in reply to taz699572 #

• @JamesMOMB Look, I keep telling you, you don't need an excuse to admit to those prossies in Old London Town. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @Chris_TOMP Oh no. Back then he'd have got a slapped wrist, but now he'll be tried as an adult, THANKS TO YOU. He'll be sent to Australia! in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• @Chris_TOMP Well, it's not far from Sweden so it wouldn't be the end of the world. Both are, by all accounts, quite near Canada. in reply to Chris_TOMP #
• @RichMOMB Kraven's Last Hunt. It is NOT rhyming slang. It IS awesome. in reply to RichMOMB #
• @jhewlett Is Kraven's Last Hunt in print as a TPB at the mo? in reply to jhewlett #
• @Primewax Hell yes. in reply to Primewax #
• @JamesMOMB He doesn't like U2? Seriously? (What did he think of my Lost breakdown, btw?) in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB Was that the "Previously On", or the huge fucking essay? Also, With Or Without You actually a U2 song I like! in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @Primewax Tut. Wives, eh? in reply to Primewax #
• @jhewlett Stupid damn comic industry. STUPID! in reply to jhewlett #
• @JamesMOMB My guess is, if it's the one that you read too, it's the short one. in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @JamesMOMB You SHOULD be offended that it's true! in reply to JamesMOMB #
• @Primewax I remember reading it on release. Very few other comics have been as affecting. I mean, truthfully… in reply to Primewax #
• @Primewax KLH was in-continuity, so it blew me away much more than DKR or Watchmen did. in reply to Primewax #
• @Butwin BTW, in case you missed it, there was an excerpt from last week's #MOMBcast that you should definitely use on the next edition… in reply to Butwin #
• @Butwin http://is.gd/8Apuk – Obv, you'd have to swap out the bit about Sweet Tooth for a bit about 45 in reply to Butwin #
• @Primewax It was properly creepy, wasn't it? I wasn't expecting to care about Kraven, either. in reply to Primewax #
• @JamesMOMB I DIDN'T STEAL IT! You handed me two copies and I accidentally put both in my bag. It was a SIMPLE MISTAKE… in reply to JamesMOMB #
• …Oh, that reminds me, does anyone want to buy a signed copy of 45 – about to turn up on eBay? Will be better if your name is James. #
• @Sulman Mmm, Yeah. in reply to Sulman #
