@davidshrigley Very nice! But does it fit? For thou art a gargantua. #
Traditional tribal pipe-playing busker men pumping clouds of nasty looking fumes into the air from their mobile amp! el oh el #
@dsjuliea This is beyond awesome! Looks like Aleister Crowley was in charge of the eggs. #
Just got back from IKEA. Drew a cock and balls on a Billy bookcase. With the pencil provided. #
Open fridge. Egg plummets to floor. Crunch! Quick, grab a cloth. Too late! See egg slither yolk-first through big gap in floorboards. #
Repo Man is showing at the #GFT tonight at 11pm. ohyeah! @glasgowfilm #
@BenEarl52 Wonder if she can. #
Ikea man just delivered my nice new bookcase. Can't believe some idiot has scrawled a cock and balls on it though. #
Never attempt to trim your hair with a Stanley knife. I know this now. #

Fuck all this Two Thousand And Eleven shit… it's Twenty Eleven… we're in the future now! #
A hearse with nobody in it is parked outside my house. #
He says the questions RT @sparkles_x: The real challenge on #universitychallenge is not the questions it's understanding what JP is saying #
@Koncher Impossible to tell as of yet. #
@magic_girlie I'll let you know if any undead action unfolds. #
@TwopTwips LORD SUGAR. Achieve even greater fame and fortune by firing your entire workforce one by one and recording it for TV. #
@Koncher I got it dawg! #
Happy Birthday to Edgar Allan Poe and woo! yay! at news that John Cusack is going to play the spooky genius in The Raven http://j.mp/heP6fj #
@dsjuliea I know. Seems to be a fictionalised account of his last days rather than based on the poem. Fingers crossed though! #
@RichardWiseman You've probably seen this one already, but if not… Impossible Motion > http://j.mp/eWJuCy #
Jack The Ripper. #
GOURANGER!!! #
Come on Apple, where's the Caps Lock on the iPhone? We're not all right-on latte sippers… Some folks LIKE TO SHOUT OCCASIONALLY! #
Mixed reality game idea: Shove annoying chuggers (charity muggers) out of the way, go home, donate to charity- point made, karma balanced. #
@danbuck But what's going to happen to coin magic once money is a thing of the past? #

11:11:11 11/1/11. Woo! You'll have to tune in at 22 minutes & seconds past 10pm on 22 Feb 2022 to experience this sort of excitement again. #
Oh no wait, it's going to happen again in November. So if you missed today's numerical excitement, don't panic. 11:11:11 11/11/11 is nigh. #
@Gatehouse_Live Indeed. It's just a drill. A warm-up, if you will, for 11:11:11 11/11/11. That's when things are really going to kick off. #
@JanieNicoll Well… be sure to turn up early for the 11:11:11 11/11/11 celebrations to avoid disappointment. #
FFS @LimaSky you're supposed to be an indie dev! Yet you make a bit of cash and start acting like Sony. How sad you are. http://j.mp/erg0qZ #
@JanieNicoll It is! Because it's international. Even Americans with their inexplicable mm/dd/yy convention can join in the hysteria. ohyeah! #
@rpaulwilson How did you get into card magic? Did Roy Walton give you hands-on lessons? How did you hook up with guys like Jason England? #
@rpaulwilson Sorry, that was 3 questions all at once. But, y'know, there's a lot to ask. #
@rpaulwilson Awesome. Always been interested in card magic, never got around to learning. Finally am (at 35)! Your best advice please sir? #
@rpaulwilson Great. Thanks for taking the time. #

@rhodri Will this do? -> http://j.mp/fhNNm4 #
There is no sadder site than watching a minotaur spinning into the sun. #
@rhodri You can't beat a bit of feline satsuma meditation! #
@andynyman Whereas in Scotland, we have this -> http://j.mp/dXcFsY #
I've deleted Doodle Jump from my iPhone in protest at @LimaSky's cynical attack on other indie devs #DeleteDoodleJump (pls RT) #
@LimaSky Can't see why you've decided to start bullying other devs. Absurd. Unless the plan was to generate bad publicity. If so, well done. #
@Koncher BOOOOM!!! 1.2 million. Tearing it up on Minotaur Rescue! #
@Koncher #mythbending I like this hashtag. Let's go nuts. #
@Koncher Actually, maybe not. We need a good hashtag for making stuff up. Anyway… http://j.mp/hqyuna #mythbending #
@pennjillette Seen it. Love it! #
@LimaSky Thanks Igor. I've never been a Doodle-clone fan and always knew TM law was crazy. Just thought you're move was quite aggressive. #
@LimaSky Thanks Igor. I've never been a Doodle-clone fan and always knew TM law was crazy. Just thought your move was quite aggressive. #
@rhodri Invoice them for the printer ink. #
@llamasoft_ox There has got to be a Commodore64 instalment of the Minotaur project. Got to be! #
@AidanJohnMoffat To deter footpads, vagabonds and other ne'er do wells. #
@AidanJohnMoffat They should be made to use pogo sticks, lolo balls and space hoppers. Tricky to stop the cops shitting in the street tho. #
@simonpegg Nope. Is it emoji you're trying to dazzle us with? Because there is a way to get them working. #
@BretEastonEllis Understanding Comics is a great analysis of the medium. Do you read many comics? #
Killed a pig with a hammer once lol #confessionhour #
Happy Birthday Wikipedia! I only know it's your birthday because you told me. So you better not be bullshitting me again. http://j.mp/f44jYd #

Gotta gotta see @pennjillette and @MrTeller's Fool Us (Fri 9pm ITV). Saw them a couple of years ago in Vegas and it completely fried my wig. #
Those undeletable default iPhone apps GRRAAARRGh!!! Stocks. STOCKS! Seriously, WTF Apple… you really think we're all fuckin stock brokers? #
@Koncher I do. But I don't want to hide it… I want to never have to see the damn thing! #
@andynyman A bit late but think you need to take a look- http://j.mp/9SigOz #
@davidshrigley You should feature them on the spines of people. #
The sort of elaborate homemade contraption you've always dreamed about. http://j.mp/kXPc @RichardWiseman #
A really creative and stylish live-action optical illusion. http://j.mp/oXhW4 @RichardWiseman #
Beautiful and surreal optical trickery. http://j.mp/eAkXTr @RichardWiseman #
Woot! 8-bit era computing genius Jeff Minter has just released his first iOS game… Minotaur Rescue! http://j.mp/dU5z5Q @llamasoft_ox #
@DerrenBrown's last stage show is on the telly tonight! Enigma, 9.35pm on Channel 4. Should be dead good. If you're into that kind of thing. #
Death Worm for #iOS is free at the moment. Just so you know. http://j.mp/guaNE0 #iPhone #games #
@AidanJohnMoffat Nice find! #
Incredible. Can't believe that Steve Jobs has confirmed rumours that the #iPhone5 is going to be made out of meat. #wtf #
Looking forward to Pen & Teller: Fool Us on ITV at 9pm tonight. Potentially amazing TV. @pennjillette @MrTeller #FoolUs #

@pennjillette and @MrTeller #FoolUs .. Wow! Best show since television began! The big cheeses in the TV world need to do a full series, now! #
@Wossy Well you should wave your magic media wand and get it on our screens every week. #

Just cooked up some words of wisdom for all y'all… http://j.mp/febEsA #
@RichardWiseman How can that be? #
@ITRIED2WARNU Good call, I'll give you a shout tomorrow fo sho. #
http://j.mp/htPZrx #
@rhodri Listen, you good for nothing lay about, if you don't get to work I'm gonna send some goons round to knock the tweet out of you. #
@AidanJohnMoffat Hangover. Every time. #
Well, there goes 2010. Why did #Nostradamus never predict the important stuff, like an acoustic version of #AceOfSpades http://j.mp/ii6zgk #
Right, I'm off out to drink whisky and gin and make merry. I bid thee a Happy New Year. x #
All the best for 2011, pals! x My brain has crashed… Just settling down to start watching the 26 DVD box set of Battlestar Galactica. #
2011 is going to be the year of magic becoming cool. You heard it here first folks. #

Right now, out there somewhere.. thousands of One Direction CDs are being shipped out of warehouses, shovelled into a furnace. I sleep well. #
Still can't believe that today's crucial Countdown conundrum was LARGEBAPS… and the answer was GRASPABLE. #
@ITRIED2WARNU It's the anagram from a popular TV word game. The key here though is that 'baps' is Scottish slang for 'boobs'! #
@ITRIED2WARNU oh god, OD were finalists in this year's X-Factor so had CDs ready to ship if they won. So glad they got crushed. #
@alkapranos Cage Against The Machine FTW!!! #
Ah, Dungeons & Dragons. In your face, real life!!! #100greatesttoys #
