- London Road is just awash with rotten, rotten people this morning… #
- …surprise! Spending all that cash pedestrianising bits of it DIDN'T encourage continental culture. #
- 2 seperate incidents of abusive behaviour to staff in front of me in Post Office. #
- @steevbishop …Oh, yes, it looks lovely for the feckless drunks during the day & the drunk teenagers and students in the evening! in reply to steevbishop #
- @Sulman Heh… you'd think so, wouldn't you? But no. It was some OTHER layabouts… in reply to Sulman #
- @JamesMOMB This once, it wasn't you. Two wankers verbally abusing counter guy impatiently, as I guess they were in a hurry to get to Giddy. in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @JamesMOMB …One older lady, impatiently berating staff member for something a different staff member had done some time in the past… in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @JamesMOMB …Thing about that was that she was being impatient, but obviously wasn't in a REAL hurry, as she was just slowing things down. in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @steevbishop Who are you, and what have you done with our Steev? in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop The particular issues I'm talking about ARE more prominent on London Road. They've made it more erratic for pedestrians… in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop …more dangerous for drivers, & created pockets of pavement to accomodate drinkers, while not improving anything substantial. in reply to steevbishop #
- @JamesMOMB Nope. Post Office people in Rymans. in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @steevbishop My experience has been different – been using Bedford Place/London Road almost daily for years, & changes have made BOTH worse. in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop Ha! My level of misanthropy is such that I'm not a complete cunt to people who work in shops, or step out in front of cars… in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop …I'm pretty happy with it, thanks! in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop If nothing else, I'm at least consistent. This isn't a different opinion from the one I had of London Road six months back. in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop (I mean I don't step out in front of cars in an entitled way, not that I'm not a complete cunt to people who do.) in reply to steevbishop #
- @JamesMOMB It's true… they ARE oddly lumpy & morose. But then, Friday morning abuse would make ME less Customer Friendly, probably. in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @JamesMOMB (Who am I kidding? I've worked in pretty staff-abusive places, & it never really affected my customer service.) in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @steevbishop My point is, two years ago, London Road was a more pleasant place to walk through. New layout doesn't breed safer crossing… in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop …in my experience it's only bred more entitled pedestrians. On a key artery into the city… in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop Town planning informs and manages the way people use the town, you know that. in reply to steevbishop #
- @JamesMOMB I quite LIKED working in a supermarket. Mind you, I was only ever a shop floor laddie. Never had any real responsibility. in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @steevbishop Um. What? I'm fine. I restate – I'm the guy who was listening to Lemon Jelly & smiling, while the other people were yelling. in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop Planning decisions don't change people. Situations change people. Traffic calming, for example, makes traffic erratic… in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop It's Friday… I'm perfectly cheery. If anything, that made the behaviour I saw more notable, to me. Your mileage may vary. in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop Problematically, as an experienced pedestrian, it just means it's more difficult to judge how fast a car is going to be going. in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop …But, I mean, it doesn't matter. It's just a road. My initial tweets were more "Phew, glad I'm not the post office person"… in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop …Than anything else. I was MORE aggravated by the fact that they were dressed up for some charity thing that's going on? in reply to steevbishop #
- RT @steevbishop: Looking forward to the nationally promoted, join-or-die charity event to bring awareness to arthritis: Hand Relief. #
- @steevbishop Huh. I wasn't absolutely sure it'd let me RT that. Now I'm not sure if you want people to RT you. in reply to steevbishop #
- Love when responding to a comment makes me rethink or clarify my own views on something. This time, "The Road": http://is.gd/ak7VS #
- God, I hate changing phones. #
- Does anybody know of a good tool for grabbing & archiving tweets (based on hashtag or search) to keep for later? Colleague asked – only… #
- …solution I've ever used was the blunt instrument approach of copy/pasting into a document. #
- Oh, also, @JamesMOMB, you've outdone yourself with that Changing Phones gag. By which I mean, you've outdone yourself. #
- @JamesMOMB No… it can only go UPhill from here…!
in reply to JamesMOMB # - Audio: Justice vs John Williams – Imperial Stress One of the few mash-ups that still gets me properly… http://tumblr.com/xi57buczf #
- @JamesMOMB In other news… can you read tumblr posts at work? in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @rolhirst That's good for individual tweets, but not so useful for tracking/keeping hashtag-defined back-chatter from events. in reply to rolhirst #
- @JamesMOMB Then you should totally see if it'll let you play the song I just tumbld. You know, as a stakeholder in Lucasarts & that… in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @rolhirst Oh, trust me, some things aren't worth knowing… in reply to rolhirst #
- @JamesMOMB Have you tried it? Have you? in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @jhewlett "What am I, here for your amusement?" in reply to jhewlett #
- @acheverton Heh. People REALLY DO equate iPhone with magic, don't they? I hear the iPhone can cure leprosy! #thingsIveheardtheiphonecando in reply to acheverton #
- @steevbishop Oh dear. Floyd related puns? Really..? in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop Speaking of, apparently a friend of ours dad is in a well-thought of local Floyd tribute band – we may be going to see them. in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop I'm… not sure. Playing The Brook I think next month…? in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop Our friend's dad is a long standing member of the lineup – I think it's his last gig with them. in reply to steevbishop #
- Righto… about to listen to #MOMBcast 25… listen along with me! http://is.gd/akp3v #
- Yay! I'm doing the #MOMBcast intro! I changed the script! Corey Haim tribute imminent…. #
- Yay! Zombie JohnMOMB! #MOMBcast Course, we fuck it up almost immediately after the intro! Also, I sound so loud! #
- Teehee… @JamesMOMB to @JaneMOMB – "Your necromancy is SHIT." #
- Took us a few seconds of getting JohnMOMB in tune with our new professionalism. Then I utterly forgot what I did last week. #MOMBcast #
- I need to learn from John Mayer's mistakes. #MOMBcast #
- John was on great form for this #MOMBcast REALLY good to have him back for this one. #MOMBcast #
- We were really down on @JaneMOMB's necromancy skills. Inexplicably, I felt more bad about how that reflected on John. #MOMBcast #
- Heh… @JamesMOMB really did look like @jupitusphillip this week, while we recorded the #MOMBcast #
- I don't know what was wrong with the tea I made, but @JaneMOMB really wrinkled her nose up at it. Also, I'm really loud on this #MOMBcast #
- Unsure if it's my dirty mind, or @Chris_TOMP's innate cuteness, but when she says "Buckle up, this is going to be a big one!" I take note. #
- @McKelvie Me too! It's like we're twins! Who don't look alike. And aren't the same age as each other. Even nearly. Captain Scarlet=Awesome. in reply to McKelvie #
- Ray Winstone story-time with @JamesMOMB #MOMBcast #
- @McKelvie Yes, alright, if you're going to split hairs. Geez. in reply to McKelvie #
- You guys… @JamesMOMB really fucking loved the Super Hero Squad Show comic! #MOMBcast #
- …And @JaneMOMB is totally impressionable when it comes to jelly. #MOMBcast #
- EVERY comic universe should have a place called VillainVille. Not just the Marvel Super Hero Squad universe… #MOMBcast #
- Feeling pre-emptively defensive about how irreverent I was about Girl Comics #1 to begin with on #MOMBcast 25… #
- …Reasons for attitude should have become clear through rest of our conversation, but I think it came off as mean at start. #MOMBCast #
- @georgelondon She did find some stuffs about that, but I don't think it worked quite how she hoped it would. in reply to georgelondon #
- @Chris_TOMP Sigh, you're giving me mixed signals… you just told everyone to follow me! in reply to Chris_TOMP #
- We are ACTUALLY DEBATING THE texture of the Red Skull's head. #MOMBCast 25 #
- Zombie JohnMOMB has serious gaps in his memory. Bringing people back from the dead is fraught with unexpected consequences, kids. #MOMBcast #
- Ha! @JaneMOMB was "Off being busy and important" at work. Really, what sort of response did she EXPECT? LOLs… #MOMBcast #
- .@JaneMOMB says "X-Men" like they are the weirdest words she had ever heard put together. It kind of puts things in perspective. #MOMBCast #
- Actually, I feel less bad about my comments about Girl Comics, now that I'm reminded of that Punisher story. It offends me. #MOMBcast #
- God, Dr Octopus really has a one track mind, huh? "I think I'll buy the Cheerios & MUST KILL SPIDER-MAN!" #MOMBcast #
- Hey, women in comics! I totally understand your situation! Listen to me talk with COMPLETE AUTHORITY about it on #MOMBCast 25!</irony> #
- @Chris_TOMP You're right, you know, I really AM a creep.
in reply to Chris_TOMP # - The first genuine "e-mail us about something substantive" request from @JamesMOMB. We've come a long way, baby! #MOMBcast #
- "It’s like his super power is maturity." – About @JamesMOMB, on #MOMBcast 25 http://tumblr.com/xi57bwi8q #
- "That's my MO"… Really, @JamesMOMB? #MOMBCast #
- To reiterate a point that I made on the #MOMBCast last night… When S.W.O.R.D hits in trade, you HAVE to read it. It is just lovely fun. #
- @rolhirst It's great stuff… the sort of comic that reminds you, half way through, that you started reading comics because they were fun. in reply to rolhirst #
- @rolhirst Actually, I prefer reading comics in trades. Wouldn't be buying singles if it wasn't for the #MOMBcast in reply to rolhirst #
- I don't know why I said that @Jamiesmart is back to dick jokes. He doesn't really DO dick jokes. #MOMBcast #
- Ha! JohnMOMB's bag didn't sound as bad as the fuss we made about it! #MOMBcast #
- EVERYTHING @JAMESMOMB IS ABOUT TO SAY ABOUT JOHN CRAVEN IS UNTRUE, COMIC FANS! #MOMBCAST #
- God, @janeMOMB, you are SUCH a girl. Ponytail swinging mid-#MOMBcast? Really? #
- @Primewax TOTALLY. ACE. COMIC. in reply to Primewax #
- @steevbishop Very briefly, just to draw attention to it. It was an incredibly poignant strip. in reply to steevbishop #
- Really, Nick? Not – "I don't AGREE that that's important, John"? Just "That ISN'T more important!" Way to dictate terms, dude. #MOMBcast #
- JohnMOMB just threatened zombie violence on @JamesMOMB. #MOMBCast #039;s hotting up! #
- Obsession with origins is entirely a comic medium spasm that's awkwardly transposed onto the film medium. We should grow out of it.#MOMBcast #
- …It doesn't make for better movies AT ALL. We never needed to know James Bond's origin. Or John McClanes. Or any of his villains.#MOMBcast #
- Is Tony Stark's arm off in either of the Iron Man trailers? After the race-car crash? #MOMBCast #
- Wow, we really talked about movies a LOT in this one. #MOMBcast #
- We're definitely the only comic podcast recorded on a Thursday in Southampton paying tribute to Def Leppard & Jenny Powell, guys! #MOMBcast #

- @stace_w (Did you get to listen to those podcasts yesterday? Is the fact that you haven't mentioned it a sign that you're being tactful? ) in reply to stace_w #
- @stace_w Well, I'm dreadfully sorry we don't all have different regional accents! Blimey, SOME PEOPLE. in reply to stace_w #
- @stace_w (It's funny… it's so clear to me when I listen back that it still really surprises me that people can't tell us apart!) in reply to stace_w #
- @davidwynne So do I. And I'm, like, right there in the room with them. in reply to davidwynne #
- @stace_w Oh, thank goodness! I didn't want to say anything, but I was worried that something was wrong with you! in reply to stace_w #
- @stace_w (I secretly actually really like the geordie accent… I don't really think it's the result of a brain injury!) in reply to stace_w #
- YAY! YAY ORANGE! My old phone has officially stopped working, which is a sign that the activation of the new phone is in progress… #
- …Of course, the downside to this is that the new phone isn't actually activated yet. So I now don't have a phone. Fuck. #
- @stace_w Honest to god, when you say divvent, it sends chills through me! in reply to stace_w #
- @stace_w (Are you actually in Newcastle? And if so, do you use the FP there?) in reply to stace_w #
- @JamesMOMB I did the commentary! Did you see? Did you? in reply to JamesMOMB #
- @stace_w As an ex FP manager, I have to say, damn straight! Much as I like our FP, if you've got a good independent, you should use them! in reply to stace_w #
- @SorenLorensen Yay! You've broken cover! Hello, sweetie! Nice to catch you here. It's just been horoscopes every other time.
in reply to SorenLorensen # - @stace_w (I really liked the guys at the Newcastle store, the couple of times I met them. Doubt it's the same staff now, though.) in reply to stace_w #
- @ciaranlucas You are most welcome! in reply to ciaranlucas #
- @SorenLorensen No need to apologise! It just always gets my hopes up! Only to be thwarted! in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @stace_w It was a pretty great store when I went up there for some training, years back… Didn't get to see much of Newcastle, sadly. in reply to stace_w #
- I tried watching that Gaga/Beyonce video earlier… & I finally have to admit – I can't get behind Gaga at all. More for the rest of you! #
- @SorenLorensen Yay! Tattoo? What sorta tattoo?? Are you getting a majestic bald eagle on your bum? I know how you love America. in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @SorenLorensen (NB: I have never heard you mention a love of America even blumming once. That was entire fabrication!) in reply to SorenLorensen #
- It feels like overcooked spectacle without merit. Like trying to fake the camp Carry On effect. If I liked the music, I could ignore that. #
- @RedMummy Her shoes! Oh my goodness! They are so overdone as to all blur into one another, aren't they? in reply to RedMummy #
- …By which I mean, I don't mind a bit of spectacle & silliness, but to the extent that Gaga does it, it tonally flattens out completely. #
- @RedMummy Am good, btw! Thanks for asking! Frying tonight! in reply to RedMummy #
- @SorenLorensen So you're not getting one of those ones that the youngsters all have across their lower back? TBH, I'm relieved… in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @SorenLorensen Of course, I'd have PRETENDED to like it, if you'd got one, but inside, I'd be dying a little of sadness. in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @SorenLorensen Ankles are a good place for tattoos, espec if they're a dinky one. The way I feel about tats is either go delicate or go big! in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @SorenLorensen <sarcasm>Yes, OF COURSE I thought that was your style. You'll remember that I'm forever underestimating you.</end sarcasm> in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @SorenLorensen No, I guessed you'd get something cute. You're a pretty good judge of such things, I reckon. in reply to SorenLorensen #
- @RedMummy Yeah, finally in February. Three months and lots of expense further along than we'd hoped. in reply to RedMummy #
- @RedMummy Heh… it was a Carry On quote. We're actually drinking in pub, then lazying it out with some pizza! in reply to RedMummy #
- @idsharman @davidwynne I'd go as far as to say that a lot of that pretentious hipster bullshit comes from Gaga herself, & invalidates her. #
- @winkswitheffort It's white noise, when it's pitched that heavy. The vid I saw pretended to apply movie production, but failed on narrative. in reply to winkswitheffort #
- @davidwynne "But you hate gatherings!" "But I love people. Isn't it ironic?" in reply to davidwynne #
- iPod Touch – Do they ALL have wifi? Need an answer probably quicker than research will bring it! #
- @davidwynne Enjoy Aguilera, really quite dislike Pink, for similar reasons to why I don't like Gaga. in reply to davidwynne #
- I'm always agitated by people who walk into a room, & open with the gambit "You can't tell me what to do, I'm a free thinker motherfucker!" #
- …& then proceed to repeat it repeatedly, without adding anything, until someone acknowledges them. & that's why I don't like cricket. #
- …No, hang on… that's why I don't like Gaga and Pink. #
- @davidwynne Teehee! in reply to davidwynne #
- @DJDarren @steevbishop Thankyou, both of you. I guessed so, and said so. Cuz is on the street, thinking about buying one, basically. #
- @RedMummy Sorry about the fry-up, but well done on the house. I'm assuming a house? in reply to RedMummy #
- @JamesMOMB HEY MO! in reply to JamesMOMB #
- Anybody else with the Sony W995 notice a slight repetitive flicker on the screen? If it's a design flaw, fine, but wondering if mine broked. #

- Why? Why am I following this woman on Tumblr? Pretty much ALL of her posts just irritate me, to the extent that I don't remember why… #
- @DJDarren Ah, I see. Now that I think about it, it does look kind of like I mentioned it because I was gagging to tell someone, doesn't it? in reply to DJDarren #
- @DJDarren But no. Just someone even more self-absorbed and insufferable than I am. in reply to DJDarren #
