A mate was trying to explain to me what Twitter is - essentially people say stuff and get followed - is it online stalking?  I really don't get it.

It's like a blog - where people sort of right diaries - but much more regular and a limit of using about 200 characters per entry.

So if you're interested that Stephen Fry is getting on a plane back to Britain then it's ace. Two mins later he'll tell you that he misses the shit English weather too.

Sounds pointless. What's wrong with traditional stalking?

traditional stalking involves a big expenditure in binoculars and camouflage gear. It's like responsible allowed stalking. I'll give you updates on what I'm doing if you don't turn up on my front lawn naked sort of thing.

Taking the creepiness out of stalking - seems a bit soulless to me.  Its like being a Man Utd fan through watching sky sports - not the same as going down the County Ground.

I reckon that if you're a Man Utd fan then you'll probably get a lot less from the county ground than you will from sky sports.

But you will get less fulfilment out of being a Man U fan through Sky Sports than you will going down the CG and watching Swindon.  You woud also get more out of the binoculars/hiding in hedges approach to stalking than you would from the lazy pseudo-stalking that is Twitter.

Yeah but if you only want to watch man u then the county ground is shit. Maybe binoculars on the hill above Wycombe ground would be a good compromise?

Only if Stephen Fry is within binocular sight of Wycombe.

Stephen Fry is ace.

I couldn't see the point of Twitter until I signed up, however now I think its ace!  Phillip Schofield is one cool dude as is Jonathan Ross! :D

Anything that causes you to describe Philip Schofield as a "cool dude" is inherently bad

He's also a 'national treasure', the qualifications for which are being

(a) lovely;
(b) upper middle class and
(c) middle aged.

There's not many people (other than Fry, Joanna Lumley and Dame Judy Dench) who can tick all those boxes.

He's the silver fox!

I read his autobiography of his youth a while back and was delighted to read that he went on a bit of a spree with a stolen credit card. He was eventually arrested in a hotel in Swindon, after the receptionist became suspicious of his expensive suit but trampy shoes.

Ha ha Ive been looking at that earlier too - idiot!

I've been following Andy Roddick as well oh and Robson Kanu as his tweets are pretty random!

I saw fB twice last week...I think I might take up stalking him.

Is that Harold Shipman?

with a renault espace in the background? i believe so

Luci my friend got old Pippy to reply to him the other day! he was SO excited!

I made a mistake of mentioning Cluj on there the other day, I now have two stalkers from Romania following me! :O

dont fuckin understand twitter at all

are you looking at people twittering in english gaz?

I lost interest in Twitter pretty quickly,I need a new fad.

Throw stones at Dogs. Good hobbie that.

I joined twitter the t'other day. It's quite useful for certain things. e.g. I was tryig to find out whether the Vulcan would get tis Permit to Fly in time for RIAT. It did.

But I don't get why people would want to follow celebs, let alone normal plebs. I don't care what they are having for breakfast or wha they are thinking. Its just like facebook status. Rubbish:)

i'm finding it horribly addictive, especially during the first ashes test

I have been following BumbleCricket.

Anyone know what the "grand slam of naan" is?

It's about 1,000 years since I last posted on this site, but I thought you'd want to know that Callum K is on twitter at: http://twitter.com/callum_k123

He posted a great one at abut 11pm a few nights back: http://twitter.com/callum_k123/status/2897871082

Someone else mentioned HRK. He's at http://twitter.com/Hal_RK and most of his posts are insane.

and here's Sean Morrison: http://twitter.com/seanm_08

@MarlonKingCov

Helen Mirren

@labolamagica for your daily supply of young foreign tit.

Much better site...

Love it.

Kammy is good to follow, as is Dan Walker BBC and if you like Robbie Savage then he's ok too. Quite amusing.

i want to hate savage, especially on twitter, but every tries to battle him for no reason and savage comes out of it quite well

Savage seems to think the way to win any argument is to post a picture of his car,he's a cock.

Oh yes... :clap:
