The Week on Twitter: 31 March, 2011

  • Radio DJ: "Do slugs dream?" Dream Expert: "Nobody knows". Well I'll be fucked, nobody knows if slugs dream. Glad we've sorted that one out. #
  • @GeeMarks Alas, it was inflicted upon me! #
  • Street Fighter IV and Sonic for iOS on sale with 100% going to Japan quake aid. Great games, v cheap + help = BUY NOW! http://j.mp/dH5OrK #
  • Obviously would be v cool if you RT that last tweet. #
  • @rpaulwilson Tell me about it! Still, good opportunity for some artifice, ruse and subterfuge at the checkout. #
  • @magic_girlie @dsjuliea Hope you guys are all okay. Get well soon to your mum and you guys look after yourselves x #
  • @llamasoft_ox Not only that… he's the son of pornographer Ben Dover. #
  • These guys are pumped so full of tiger blood but still need to get WINNING! http://j.mp/g4yYqJ @charliesheen #tigerblood #WWF #
  • 'Will' & Kate royal wedding memorabilia. http://j.mp/fTk1kr @vizcomic #
  • Rediscovering early Napalm Death and realising that they're like the Twitter of punk/rock/metal. All that insanity mashed into 40 sec songs. #
  • Pink. It's my colour. #
  • @plasmatron WAYHO!! #
  • @Koncher You maniac… lose is spelled L O S E. Stop contributing to the internet destruction of language you loser. :p #
  • @Koncher I'm the Dirty Harry of grammar cops. I shoot fast and loose. #
  • Feeling kind of sketchy today. Suppose I shouldn't have eaten a copy of the King James Bible for Comic Relief. Still, was for a good cause. #
  • @Dynamomagician Not on Twitter! #
  • @elizabethhare Takes a long time to get it out of your system. #
  • You know you're in the countryside when all you can smell is shit and it isn't human. #
  • @elizabethhare A Tron gingerbread man. I like it! #

  • The great thing about @charliesheen is that he's just so full of win! #
  • I'm considering doing some drawing with a tattoo gun. If anyone is interested in being inked, let me know. #
  • @ellichapman Hey Elli.. Idea is doing some drawing on people instead of paper as a kind of art project, just getting a gun and going for it! #
  • @ITRIED2WARNU Hey, no worries Brent. Take your time and give me a shout when you're ready to get going. ;) #
  • @ellichapman I'm into how meaning is generated. Tatts are meant to be all about meaning/significance etc. But really? No. So let's subvert! #
  • Sorry to all who received nasty messages from my account. Was spam. Got so bored of getting it, thought might as well join in, so sent some. #
  • Just switched on the internet, very sad to hear bad news from Japan :( #
  • @ellichapman Yes! #
  • Twitter take a 2+ yr old username away because a ltd company *demand* it. Depressing. http://bit.ly/hQsv0c @girlgeeks_ @twitter #copywrong #
  • @ellichapman That's great Elli! I'll keep you posted for sure. #

  • Going to start uploading some books today. And don't mean to the internet from my computer… I mean to my mind from the page. #worldbookday #
  • I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion etc… and I'm still dreading Blade Runner 2. #
  • @Koncher Yeeeeeeeeesss!! What a game! My hi is 4484… just sayin o_O #
  • If you've got an iPhone and you're not playing Spike Dislike, you're an idiot. #
  • @gedmundson Unfortunately, it's non-refundable. You should have read the small-print. #
  • @alkapranos Sounds like you have just learned one of life's harshest lessons first-hand, Alex … And I couldn't agree more. #
  • Am now officially out of Twitter negative equity.. more Follow -ers than -ings. Momentous occasion. Going to celebrate by throwing the cat. #
  • Launched cat. Went well. Much hilarity. However, please refrain following/un-following me strategically in order to repeat feline flinging. #
  • Okay, so my Spike Dislike hi score is currently 11,769. Just saying. #

  • @DANIELmadison Congratulations! #
  • Just took delivery of some Bulldog Squeezers. Yeah, thought you'd be jealous. #
  • @AidanJohnMoffat haha, good guess! But Bulldog Squeezers are actually a really old type of playing cards with a weird design on the back. #
  • @AidanJohnMoffat haha! #
  • Listening to Kerrang Radio. See if @plasmatron fucking swears. #
  • Turns out the traditional translation of 'Gaddafi' is: 'delusional autocratic potato in bad wig'. #

  • @VictoriaCoren One of the great things about @mrmichaelwinner is that he really has got a fantastic set of ta-tas. #
  • @BenEarl52 Are you going to open the show for Penn & Teller? #
  • Everytime I switch on Twitter another country is on fire and Bieber is a trending topic. World peace and him on fire would be a nice change. #

  • @dsjuliea John Wayne Gacy said that. #
  • @dsjuliea nooo… just kidding!! :p #
  • C'mon now people, Twitter is supposed to be really real-time. Nothing should start with 'I just' or end in 'ed'. Allow me to demonstrate… #

The Week on Twitter: 7 February, 2011

  • Fact: without The Doom et al in one form or another, much of the best art & culture never exists. Stigmatise it at your peril. #whatstigma #
  • @RichardWiseman Look at these crazy magic fish! http://j.mp/fXE4KW #
  • @RichardWiseman That would be SYNONYMOUS. #
