@sarahditum Jump magic jump? Oh dear… (Actually, can imagine it's VERY easy to write Labyrinth erotica… It's the bulge!) in reply to sarahditum #
@winkswitheffort Hah! So did Anya. Imagine her tolerance is lower than your dog's, though… in reply to winkswitheffort #
@moongate Oh dear… that was out a bit ago… I managed approx 2 episodes before I decided it wasn't worth my time. & my time is cheap! in reply to moongate #
RT @jamiesmart: 'now i'm basically retarded'. http://is.gd/8V4s5 – Brilliant! #
…& that leads to this. "I'm just tryin' to make internet harder to use": http://is.gd/8V4zS #
#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 #
@steevbishop I'm not that far in, though. in reply to steevbishop #

@davidwynne That sounds good enough critique for me! Kodiak can function in other genres, but Critical Space pushed it far enough for me… in reply to davidwynne #
@davidwynne …That said, Patriot Acts was still a pretty good book. It just wasn't as well written as I've come to expect from Rucka. in reply to davidwynne #
@winkswitheffort I'm sure you're doing fine! in reply to winkswitheffort #
@winkswitheffort Your track record and innate sweetness would go a long way in that industry! in reply to winkswitheffort #
@Butwin … Stupid wedding. in reply to Butwin #
@winkswitheffort Ha! I lack the patience, though, don't I? Most people aren't as easy to listen to as you! in reply to winkswitheffort #
"6 Do keep a thesaurus, but in the shed at the back of the garden or behind the fridge, somewhere that…" http://tumblr.com/xi56p2t0b #
@winkswitheffort I think you'd be surprised. Maybe not pleasantly so! in reply to winkswitheffort #
About to start listening to #MOMBcast 22 as I work. 22! Blimey! That's… more than… 5… months? That's AGES! #
#MOMBcast 22 available here: http://is.gd/5LWa9. This episode only 1:19 minutes long! Awesome intro by Nick! That's me! #
I wanted to do the whole thing in a Matt Berry voice, but I can't do a Matt Berry voice. #MOMBcast 22 #
Ha! @JamesMOMB can't spell Euthanasia! Also, "Sex Change For The Cheap Seats" is a great name for a webcomic. #MOMBCast 22 #
"Don't forget to mock Jane". #MOMBcast 22 #
@bevismusson Uhm… Longshot? in reply to bevismusson #
We are discussing Valentines' Day on the #MOMBcast It would probably have been better if we weren't all boys during this. #
@bevismusson Oh, actually, no! @Al_Ewing reminded me… I want a Patrick Troughton Doctor! in reply to bevismusson #
Oh god. We're talking about pancakes. Like over and over. & now we're talking about Chinese food. It's hunger making. #MOMBcast 22 #
Heh… I really went for that Apple gag, but just, y'know, the other two just didn't like it. BUT IT WAS A GOOD GAG! #MOMBcast 22 #
Is there already a comic-related bukkake website? #MOMBcast #
Hmph. @JamesMOMB, we sound a bit quiet through this bit. #
I bloody KNEW we'd end up talking about football at some point, if I was stuck in a room with those two. #MOMBcast 22 #
Oh, apparently I had a lot to say about The Hurt Locker. Boring! #MOMBcast 22 Oh, plus, NOT disassociated – disaffected. Fucking idiot! #
And now I just can't believe anything @JamesMOMB says anymore. #MOMBcast 22 #
@JamesMOMB Y'see, now that sounds plausible… in reply to JamesMOMB #
I just said that Spider-Woman goes buck wild. I'm unsure that that's exactly what I meant. #MOMBcast 22 #
@JamesMOMB That also sounds plausible. You are just sucking up to @Chris_TOMP at the moment in the #MOMBcast Did you only review one comic? in reply to JamesMOMB #
Y'know what I didn't liken Joe The Barbarian to that I should've? It has a similar feel to Moonshadow or other JMD 80s/90s stuff. #MOMBcast #
The car park is made of lego! #MOMBcast #
Oh blimey me & @JamesMOMB keep referring to The Journey. We are useless cunts. #MOMBcast 22 #
Mention of @Davidwynne at 24:50! OH YEAH! #MOMBcast 22 #
@bevismusson That's almost definitely what it is. in reply to bevismusson #
#MOMBcast 22 – Which one is PJ? Is it Ant or Dec? & IS it possible to say Byker Grove without the accent? http://tumblr.com/xi56p41gm #
I just really amused the hell out of myself then, with a stupid voice. Giggling like a fucking idiot. Oh dear! #MOMBcast 22 #
http://is.gd/8W0AL – Deathstroke on Wikipedia. They talk a bit about similarities between him & Deadpool. #MOMBcast 22 #
God, I sound like SUCH a bitch when I tell @JamesMOMB off for throwing his comics down. He's still a fucking idiot, though. #MOMBcast 22 #
@JamesMOMB Pardon? I can't hear anything after having my earparts blown by you dropping a comic on the table… #MOMBcast 22 in reply to JamesMOMB #
"What, then, are we left with? A generation of conspicuously compassionate, “passionate” people who…" http://tumblr.com/xi56p4whl #
I am really quite enjoying the whole "@JaneMOMB's voice as @JakeMOMB" translations. @JamesMOMB is sometimes quite funny. #MOMBcast 22 #
@JamesMOMB in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB I actually do work alongside listening, but generally not on anything that's particularly heavy going. in reply to JamesMOMB #
@JamesMOMB Heh… no worries. It's hardly the first time someone has made that observation. I wouldn't feel comfy doing it, mind. #
Nothing warms me more than hearing @JamesMOMB when he's genuinely enthusiastic about something. He's much smarter than he thinks. #MOMBcast #
@JamesMOMB It was a coincidence. COINCIDENCE! That last bit about Shatners Basoon etc at the end is delightful. We're all good. #MOMBcast 22 in reply to JamesMOMB #
How's the xylophone teaching going, @JamesMOMB? #MOMBcast 22 #
Fuck me, @JamesMOMb. That song is making my ears bleed! Good choice! #MOMBcast #
The bit at the end of #MOMBcast 22, where @JamesMOMB stole my farewell, reminded me of this at 3:10 http://is.gd/8Wa6k #
(Massively underrated film, btw.) #
"It’s decisions like these that have earned record companies a reputation for being greedy and…" http://tumblr.com/xi56p6amf #

@Sulman Had you heard that Vincent is the only character confirmed by a showrunner to survive to the end of the show? #
@Sulman Oh yes the dog! in reply to Sulman #
