Seriously woodrot, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. (though I agree, tediously, again)

[MitchB]

I think it's funny you guys

[woodrot]

Dont worry Jack, no one wants to beat you up

@JackBlocker ughhh! good luck with that, be sure to don your condescending hat won't you! haha :)"

Woodrot would you boil me in a vat of my own piss though?

[El Pibe]

Twitter exposes people as arsehole shock!

I used to think Twitter was just a place for solipsists and narcissists to wank in the public domain and hence served no useful purpose.

Now I realise that giving solipsists and narcissists a place to wank publicly and alert us all to their onanistic bent is exactly why twitter is useful!

[MitchB]

Well I have jacked it twice already today

[StraferJack]

elpibe - it's hardly a twitter versus anywhere else debate is it?

Idiots exist here and expose themselves just as much as they do on twitter

[El Pibe]

Today being a case in point.

There is something about that twitchy, mobile based, plink before you think, 120 char format that especially lends itself to it though.

[RosieH]

140 Pibs, 140.

Zounds, if even we solipsists and narcissists @#$%& in this public domain can't get it right, what chance the addled oiks?

[woodrot]

old jack bollocks tweet history does make him appear to be a happy shopper version of Nathan Barley

[Annette Curtain]

IF you could be bothered (like me) to read his blog, then you'd come across this jem

It's a pizza review for The Gowlett

[David A]

Mmmm.

He hasn't got an original style has he? A bit derivative?

Sounds like somebody's been reading Bukowski whilst watching 'Danny Dyer's Hardest Awaydays' on the Bravo channel.

Didn't Food Stories make herself look like a chump on here a while ago and disappear in a puff of huff? Can't quite remember, but clearly she still does.

[El Pibe]

I think it was this lazy cliched article that caused a stir, courting comments such as "You are Bang on about the less than yummy mummies and their evil spawn!!!!", where she revelaed herself to be a firstclass twonk, unless I remember wrong.

But that's the privilege of youth, to be able to arrogantly look down on everyone and think you have all the answers.

I'm sure once she actually grows up and realise she has none of them, her writing will improve, rather than be the proverbial and aforementioned "shit smeared mutual backslappery turdfest".

[Ted Max]

Ach not really - it started long before that when she posted a perfectly reasonable question about the Palmerston, but in doing so linked to her blog, which one or two posters (Oh OK, *Bob*) interpreted as "Hey - look at my blog".

It wasn't a particularly warm welcome initially, but in fact that blew over after about 5 posts and it quickly settled down to people either saying, "yes I agree" or "no, I don't" and all was fine, until the Palmerston itself posted a rather snitty reply accusing her of amatuerism, at which point 2-3 of Helen's mates registered and piled in. One of them made a crack on Twitter about all visiting the place and giving it shit reviews.

So then there was some more snittery, and then all the usual mentals and hard of understanding piled in and before long there was a textbook nine page jerkfest where any original point had been long lost.

Foodstories seemed to think she was under some sort of sustained attack but she wasn't - plenty agreed with her, in fact. It just wasn't quite the "you go darling, that looks totes amaze" circle therapy of foodie blogdom.

The "feckinkids" article was much later, and somehow spawned some truly mental EDF batshittery about parents needing to be teetotal at all times, or some such, from one particular poster. But FoodStories had nothing to do with that - someone else linked to her article and then some absolute bellends went at it.

(BTW, I think this wins me the official "Forum sad bastard" badge, if you please?)

[El Pibe]

Ever charitable Ted, I now feel bad for being 'snippy'.

Are you one of those people with photographic memories, that was almost scary!

[Ted Max]

Nah - I have a room with printouts of old threads stuck up all round the walls, ceiling and floor. I go in there when the pressure gets too much. I find it calming to go somewhere familiar and safe. I've learnt about half the Forum by rote, already.

[Ted Max]

All my PMs are kept in a locked filing cabinet, naturally. As they are private.

^^ If you read that in Brian Sewell's voice, it's even better. Although that's true of most things.

[El Pibe]

Hmm, american studies will do that to you

*looks uncomfortable, makes little figures of 8 in dirt with outstretched toe*

I did stick with history on the whole if it's any consolation....errrr to me.

Wholeheartedly agree about Bukowski and Burroughs (lets throw in Kerouac whilst we're at it), though I have a soft spot for H.S.T. especially on the campaign trail.

[woodrot]

Kerouac can fuck off as well

HST produced a great deal of petty hateful shite - too much time on his own, too much liquor and too many guns. The campaign trail n hells angels stuff was ok, but was of its time. You have to wade though the trough of liquid manure to find a comsuable nugget of savoury goodness.

but what do I know. I dont even get irony.

[MitchB]

Hi Woodrot,

Lets be mates,

Best,

Jack
