Twittering - Chicken Yoghurt

My tweets and twittering from Twitter

Tension, apprehension and dissension have begun

Oh Good God. Can’t we at least wait until his balls have dropped? http://is.gd/5LG #
A nice juicy Sunday PaperRound this week: http://is.gd/5KV #
I can hear drums. In Portslade. Where are they and why? #
The drumming. The drumming. Can’t you hear you hear it? #
It’s definitely not the hangover. #
The trouble with this is that Brown’s standing is so low, Clarke might actually win and then we’re *completely* boned. http://is.gd/5LL #
I’m off to find them drums… #
It’s the Scouts in their hut across the road. How very disappointing. #
I’m pissed off now. I thought it might be a Viking invasion or the vanguard of a military coup. Bloody scouts. #
I had sneaking sympathy for Gordon Brown after the shafting he gets in today’s papers. And then I read this: http://is.gd/5LO Fuck him. #
We’re being told the Blair years were a golden age. Looking at those lining up for Gordon’s job I think we might be in one now as well. #
Can I just say I turned Doctor Who off after five minutes last night? Never done that before. This new series is going to suck. #
I’ve nothing against James Purnell or Andy Burnham being the next Labour leader, just not the next Prime Minister. #
Instead of empty gestures like ‘Armed Forces Day’ - http://is.gd/5MA - how about sorting this kind of shit - http://is.gd/5Mz - out? #
I bet the service is excellent at this hotel: http://is.gd/5MK #
Well, I’ve nearly finished the Tom Baker scarf. Should I have a crack at this next? http://is.gd/5Nj #
Because I wanted to. Because I can. Because nobody can stop me. http://is.gd/5NE #
http://is.gd/5NP Damn, I wish I could find that clip from The Day Today. #
Why in the name of God’s Holy Trousers would you want 500,000 songs on an iPod? http://is.gd/5xc #
Doesn’t Madonna look great at 50 blah blah blah. Baby boomer journalists feeling intimations of mortality, are they? #

How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?

It’s that time of the week again: http://tinyurl.com/3wz2av #
Jacques Rogge really is an oily little tick: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/olympics/article3724308.ece #
Colour me amazed. Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition: http://is.gd/5Da #
Go Richard Herring - http://is.gd/5Db - look out for the flinty eyes… #
Look out Mugabe! If you don’t listen to Gordon Brown’s warning, Gordon might have to send another warning: http://is.gd/5Dc #
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! http://is.gd/5De #
A demon put on this earth to lower the standards: http://is.gd/5Dt #
What a shock! ‘Tories.. to support Downing Street in facing down critics… keen for the BAE investigation to be reopened’ http://is.gd/5DF #
Must. Have. http://is.gd/5DI #
Good grief, has Robert Mugabe got some really serious dirt on Thabo Mbeki or something? http://is.gd/5Fk #
Splendid: http://is.gd/5Fo #
Be careful of the claws: http://is.gd/5Fq #

Cobwebs and strange

Kenny Baker’s not well. The majority will know him as that robot but us connoisseurs celebrate him as the mighty Fidgit http://is.gd/5oP #
‘No doubt this will be condemned as a thoughtcrime’. No, just the lamest of weak pissy drivel. http://is.gd/5p3- #
Yay! New Collings and Herrin: http://is.gd/5pC #
So, this despot’s retreat thing: http://is.gd/5q4 Is it Superman’s Fortress of Solitude or Doc Manhattan’s Martian crystal palace? #
Pass the mindrubbers: http://is.gd/5sv #
I’d quite like to know what criteria Politics Home used for choosing its ‘top’ 100 political blogs… #

Cobwebs and strange

Ha! Brilliant: http://is.gd/5aR #
Watchmen video diary - http://is.gd/5aV - The film may or may not suck but it’s going to look the business. #
If you have a parade and nobody sees it, is it still a parade? http://is.gd/5b9 #
So they finally decided to give The Independent the coup de grace: http://is.gd/5bn #
The thing is, Jack Straw would never have hit Ed Balls himself. He’d have got someone else to do it and held their coat for them. #
The post was a mixed bag today - Amnesty mailshot: ‘1,000 Chinese executions’, BT mailshot: ‘Be at the 2008 Olympics with a BT credit card’ #
Here’s an Olympic statistic for you: 22 people are put to death in China every day. Is it a record, Norris? #
Politics Home is a bit twitchy, no? After the yellow links on a white background they now have articles in black text on a black background. #
Dear Foreign Office web monkeys, thank you for the SIX emails telling me of the change of ambassador to Ecuador. Love Justin xxx #
http://is.gd/5eo plus http://is.gd/5ep equals an evening of geektacular fun #
Blimey, ‘The Midwich Cuckoos’ is a massive bummer, isn’t it? The ending has quite spoiled my normal ebullient mood. #
‘Labour break new ground’: http://is.gd/5fz By getting a ‘confused’ comedienne to ask the Prime Minister questions. #
The Tories are rather quiet on the subject of that BAE ruling. I wonder why? #
Gordon Brown’s team ‘a bunch of losers.’ says former chief policy adviser to William Hague: http://is.gd/5g6 #
Make that SEVEN emails about the new ambassador to Ecuador. #
Warren Ellis is a real whiner. The way he bangs on about his health you’d think he was an old dear on a bus not a kick-arse comic writer. #
How much Camembert constitutes a lethal dose? #

As I was going to St Ives…

"Darling ‘optimistic’ on economy" - http://is.gd/4Uu - and why shouldn’t he be, with his salary, paid expenses and copper-bottomed pension? #
‘Pisces: You are about to enter a time of rapid personal growth. Make sure your flies are done up.’ http://is.gd/4V1 #
Yellow on white! MY EYES! MY EYES! MY BEAUTIFUL EYES! http://is.gd/4Vw #
Ach, zis Tom Cruise is no good as ze German? Did he not read Commando books as a boy? http://is.gd/4VE Gott in himmel! #
I like big butts and I can not lie: http://is.gd/4VY #
Dear Bastards, please stop publishing Doctor Who spoilers in unlikely, innocuous locations. Lots of love, Justin xxx #
Down in Hove Park with the kids. It’s full of neds and hoons. Don’t they have XBoxes and masturbation to attend to? #
The Snow Wolf Commandos - http://is.gd/50x - Not so cuddly when they’re not wearing the baby blue tracksuits… #
Stories of John McCain being unhinged and dangerous are legion. The circumstantial evidence is piling up. Then you read… http://is.gd/510 #
Gordon finds some cojones at last: http://is.gd/51q #
It’s not right that two bits of kids came up with this: http://is.gd/51B. It’s amazing, the little bastards. #

This guy should have his own show. http://is.gd/4FR The self-important tax-lawyer persona is fantastic. I bet Steve Coogan is spitting. #
London: ‘vile’. Paris: ‘despicable’. What will San Francisco be? Why don’t the Chinese regime just declare ‘you’re all a bunch of bastards’? #

Jesus Christ, who starts an article ‘Debo was always my mother’s second favourite Mitford sister’? That’s as far as I got: http://is.gd/4KG #

Woohoo! I’m getting a tingle in my dingle. Awesome firepower! http://is.gd/4Lx #
If like me you couldn’t care less about the credit crunch, here’s a quick intro to let you nod along in dull conversations: http://is.gd/4Lz #
To earn a £200 Asus EEE you need to collect 6,800 Tesco Computers For Schools vouchers. That’s £68,000’s worth of shopping. #

Chicken nuggets

Snowing like crazy in Brighton. Muggins here left the washing out. The sun was cracking the pavements here yesterday. It’s the End Times! #
Blimey, it’s put down three inches of snow in two hours. #
I take it back about not watching the Olympic torch - it’s bloody gripping television. #
You have to admit, it’s a glorious spectacle watching all those coppers protecting a glorified fag lighter. #
Dear BBC, please stop talking about the Olympic torch LIKE IT’S A BLOODY PERSON. IT IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT HAVING A LUNCH BREAK. #
This just gets better and better - the torch is now being carried by THE SUGARBABES on a BUS. You can’t get more Olympian than that. #
Bloody hell! Look what’s happening now: http://is.gd/4n3 I thought this guy was supposed to be against repression. I’m really disappointed. #
Nice to see us paying tribute to the Chinese junta by laying on thousands of policemen just itching to hit something. #
Ha! Konnie Huq says the Olympic ideals transcend money! So Somalia will be putting the games on soon will they? #
What a farce. The torch now has a three-ring protection. Or should that be three-ring circus? Anyone know if this is on Chinese state TV? #
Hey! It’s Denise Van Outen! Drink Coke everybody! #
Well, at least Gordon didn’t touch the torch. That would have been terrible. #
If JFK had had as much security as the Olympic torch he’d be alive today. #
Dear BBC, they are not ‘anti-’ Chinese protesters, they are ‘pro-’ Tibet protesters. Get it right, you sound ridiculous. #
Can I just ask - what is it that makes us happy being the world’s wanksock? #
Gordon wants kids to be military cadets. It can be educational. I met a bunch at a party once. They taught me the words to ‘Her Dicky Dido’. #
New Labour should recruit whoever’s running the Met’s propaganda today. It’s a brilliant counter-offence against reality. #
Yay! The torch is back from ‘its’ lunch break. I hope we find out what it had. Smoked salmon? Devilled kidneys? Wood-fired pizza? #
This one’s for all you appeaser of tyranny out there: http://is.gd/4nq #
Christ, this torch relay is starting to look like the Alamo. #
Are you watching The Rest Of The World? The bar has been set. Makes you proud to be British. #
It’s the main story on CNN, Reuters, El Pais, Le Monde, La Repubblica… #
God, Duncan Goodhew is a whining little appeaser. #
Let’s get this straight. IT’S A BLOODY FLAME. Pushing old ladies and rubgy-tackling protesters on concrete = the fire is ’safe and secure’. #
Does anybody know how I get a police escort for my cigarette lighter? I don’t care who gets hurt but my mate across town needs a light. #
While we were watching combustible gas being carried through London: http://is.gd/4oy #
Sod it. Beer. #

Saturday PaperRound: http://is.gd/4gv Like the new colour scheme as well. Very Blackpool FC - I approve. Play up, the Seasiders! #
Oh, God. My kids are banging on about Doctor Who already. It’s going to be a loooong day. #
Hoory! Look at our latest big black cock of death: http://is.gd/4gx #
We weren’t exactly honest when we applied to enter Iraq, so why not these guys? http://is.gd/4gy They’re showing *British* ingenuity! #
‘Bongo mag’ is a new one on me. I love discovering new euphemisms. http://is.gd/4gA #

The Golden Compass two word review: cruelly underrated. #
Apparently tonight’s Doctor Who features a monster second only to this guy - http://is.gd/4hX - in its crapness. May have to livetwitter it. #
Yup, it looks pretty bad: http://is.gd/4i0 #
Dammit, that’ll teach me. Doctor Who fans - stay away from the spin-off toys websites. Just seen a MASSIVE series 4 spoiler. Bollocks. #
Yes! Chisum’s on Five! All together now: CHISUM, JOHN CHISUM… http://is.gd/4io #
Here we go - the Doctor Who live blog. Diddly dum diddly dum… #
Oh shit, it’s Catherine Tate. #
And it’s started early so the recorder has missed the start. Cheers BBC. #
As has probably half the country. Five minutes early. BBC, you are dicks. #
‘the fat just walks away’? This is Bollocks already. #
So the monster they’ve picked to open the new series are cute blobs of human fat. #
Drop the sub-farce just missing each other shit and get on with it. #
BERNARD CRIBBINS! #
I don’t think we’re going to be talking about this episode in 20 years. Oh, and the soundtrack is shite. #
I’m really not enjoying the Wallace and Grommit soundtrack. #
I think they should rename the show Sonic Screwdriver. That’s the real hero. #
The old ‘just one chance’ routine. And I mean old. #
HOLY CRAP! IT’S ROSE! I take it all back. I take it all back. Russell T Davies I am your bitch. #
Well that’s the end of episode 1. Let’s hope it’s not the series when they finally take the audience totally for granted. Tonight’s epis … #
That said, my kids absolutely loved it, the poor, poor fools. #
‘The Prime Minister … is due to welcome the torch in Downing Street’ http://is.gd/4jw Will the Dalai Lama get the same courtesy? #

I want this to happen sooooo badly: http://warrenellis.com/?p=5783 #
BBC4 are showing the first ever Doctor Who and the Daleks story over the weekend. That should act as an antidote to Catherine Tate. #

Sorry, that should be John Charles Elton Le Mesurier De Somerys Halliley. #
I saw Robert Mugabe in the queue at the cornershop buying a tin of ham and a copy of Loot. He’s looking for a bedsit near Tesco, apparently. #
He never shuts up. ‘Mugabe wants his ham’ he was shouting and ‘Mugabe wants his Loot’. Then ‘hurry up, you homosexuals’. What’s that about? #

Or what about all the work he does for censorship? #
Or how about the way he’s preserved the word ‘mong’ for the nation? #

So, WordPress 2.5 is here. Dare I upgrade? DARE I? #
I’ve never read a post by Guido Fawkes that wouldn’t be improved by him putting ‘PS. I am a massive wanker’ in red italics on the bottom #

Well, that wasn’t exactly painless. The automatic update plugin is rubbish and half the plugins that claim to be compatible are a bit shakey #
Just installed this - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/commentluv/ - on the blog. Everybody leaving a comment now gets some link-lovin’ #

The momentous gifts I gave to humanity yesterday

Holy crap, the gas and electricity bill for the last quarter has arrived. HOW MUCH!? Next year I’m hibernating. #
The Sun? Doing good? http://tinyurl.com/yqynqz My mind has just exploded. #
Is it wrong to wish Sir Andrew Green would SHUT THE FUCK UP and FUCK THE FUCK OFF? #
Well, at least we now know the cost of immigration even if we won’t look at its value: http://tinyurl.com/yr7fkp. #
Where does the buck stop when it’s being passed? http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2008/03/28/5537 #
Why are those who shout loudest about ‘British’ and ‘Christian’ ‘values’ always the worst examples of both? http://tinyurl.com/yw3ly5 #
Yay! The Saturday PaperRound: http://tinyurl.com/342vmy #
"Iraq faces a ‘defining moment’" says George http://tinyurl.com/2kkyyj What? *Another* one? How many has that been so far? #
Stuck in the middle: ‘Drinking water is particularly critical. We estimate the population has enough for two days’ http://tinyurl.com/27ff8g #

The momentous gifts I gave to humanity yesterday

The Radio 4 Today programme listen again will be worth a visit later for Charlotte Green corpsing at 8.10. #
Watching what’s going on at Heathrow, I really cannot wait for the Olympics. It’s going to be *spectacular*. #
Who knew there was a whole sub-genre of spaceship-twatting monsters in 20th century science fiction? http://warrenellis.com/?p=5762 #
‘At enormous length he said: "Bend over."’ http://tinyurl.com/3d6eah #
I don’t know why, but this makes me like Gordon Brown a little bit more: http://tinyurl.com/22kvkk #
‘Wasn’t really thinking of anyone in particular’. Well, he got the first three words right. http://preview.tinyurl.com/3aghnq #
http://tinyurl.com/3b4vrj And your point is *what*, exactly? #
Without a word of a lie, Lulu’s Atco Sessions are bloody ace. http://tinyurl.com/2onoyl #
Goodbye, Herb. You made me feel dirty but oh so good. http://tinyurl.com/yqraeh #
@tygerland Oh, man. Sausage and Egg McMuffins. I’m a bad, bad boy. #
Oh well, it looks like fool me three times: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2008/03/26/53840.shtml #
Farewell then Carla. You truly are the first lady of our hearts. Don’t lose your looks or get fat though or we’ll turn on you like *that*. #
Why are Reform sending me embargoed press releases and what punishment do I risk by breaking the embargo? Would they stop sending dull PR? #
Ooh, nearly time for this week’s Collings and Herrin http://tinyurl.com/2cdhtm I get excited about it like I used to about The Friday Thing. #
It’s here! http://www.comedy.org.uk/podcasts/collingsherrin/ #
Why can’t the left do populism? http://tinyurl.com/36mq42 I think it’s because we don’t like insulting people’s intelligence. #
Like it: http://tinyurl.com/2vogsx (via @linkmachinego) #
Who finds right-wingers intentionally funny anyway? Since when did populism = hilarity? http://tinyurl.com/36mq42 #
@devilskitchen Don’t get me wrong but I don’t think Polly Toynbee is in it for the laughs. #
I think it’s time Quentin Tarantino admitted that he’s bald and not 17 any more: http://tinyurl.com/2naj72 #
FINALLY! The secret to blog fame and fortune: offer a forum for men to fantasise about Gordon Brown shagging boys. http://tinyurl.com/2zx2bu #
They don’t do themselves any favours, do they? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7319501.stm #

I like this: http://warrenellis.com/?p=5755 #
Did you know that Donald Rumsfeld was Oscar Goldman in the Six Million Dollar Man? http://tinyurl.com/ys5joz #
I didn’t know Echo and the Bunnymen were in Iraq: http://tinyurl.com/3bu7xc #
I wonder what Carla is doing today *sigh*. #
‘It provides a public service: demonstrating the damage wrought by Thatcherism and Blairism on this country.’ http://tinyurl.com/39kyzc #
Is a reflex response of laughing out loud whenever somebody says ‘Nicholas de Lacy-Brown’ really that wrong? #
Four days to get to two million. Sign please: http://tinyurl.com/35pbul #
Can everybody PLEASE stop blogging for a bit? I’ve 720 unread items in my Bloglines thingy. #
I never knew how much I loved France until this week. Thank you for opening my eyes, Gordon. Vive la France! Liberté, égalité, hyperbolé! #
The MoD are to admit breaching Baha Mousa’s human rights but not, it seems, his ribcage. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7316943.stm #
Oi! Gordon and Nicholas! Get a room! #
Fantastic. Espadrilles are back. #

I’ve been using Project Honeypot a week and I’ve just caught my first bastard: http://tinyurl.com/2p84h7 #
Good grief, News 24’s coverage of the Sarkozy state visit is stunningly inane. #
@flashboy Yes, but have you seen Carla? Where’s Carla? Have you come to see Carla? Is that Carla? CARLA! #
You’re all bastards. #
Sod it. Beer. #
I don’t think I could give less of a shit about Carla Bruni if I had the mental energy to devote to not giving a shittery. #
You know, nobody would give two tugs of a dead dog’s wotsit about the state visit of French president if he didn’t have a saucy missus. #
