@ourman Aww… that's too cute. in reply to ourman #
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. #

This Alice In Wonderland theme on This Week is really painful. #
@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 #
@Butwin in reply to Butwin #
Video: Well, this is all very exciting… Dr Who new series trailer! mayweed: http://tumblr.com/xi56u344q #
@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 #
I'm SO glad that @JaneMOMB chose to pick up a small-press book for one of her reviews in this week's #MOMBcast 23 #
#MOMBcomics – Friend to small press comics! – http://is.gd/5LWa9 #
@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 #
Getting tangled up about truth and fiction and stuff on #MOMBCast 23 http://is.gd/5LWa9 #
@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 #
http://is.gd/9flpK – #MOMBcast 23 Timings up! If you are @wossy @kierongillen @breagrant @Templesmith listen to your bit without the rest! #
#MOMBcast listeners/contributors… Timings up! And that's me out of here… #
@JamesMOMB You don't get to have a say in this. You are clearly a fool. A SEINFELD FOOL! #MOMBcast in reply to JamesMOMB #
Right, hometime! Peterborough here we come! YAY! #
@JamesMOMB, enjoy your birthday drinks, buddy. It's your time! #
