Be Excellent To Each Other

The Google ads on that page invite me to taste the World Famous Craster Kippers.


You can get to fucking fuck you sicko! Taste your kippers indeed!

Mmmm. Smokey.

Um, any volunteers for proofreaders and criticism? I want to make this absolutely right.

Unless it is about steam powered submarines, it isn't worth reading. PM me a copy if you want.

I strongly recommend you write it in the style of Richard Blackwood so you are taken seriously. Failing that, get Gaywood to do it.

Yup!

Go on then.

I get "Cottages in Craster". Fucking BRRRR!!

Carr's twittering about us!

WTF is he on about, "proving his point"?

I've not seen a tiled background in years. Love the 'Web 95' look.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

What a cunt. Do you have to be an arrogant tosser who is always right to be a Guardian columnist or does it just help?

This is SO post modern!

Ask him about submarines.

Do you think I should apply? I think I match over 60% of the job spec.

Oh the Nathanity.

I know they publish anything in the CIF thing, but please tell me that didn't actually appear in actual physical print?

"I don't normally check my guardian comments"

Hmm, methinks he does. A lot. Every day.

I sat there waiting for the looping audio but realised it wasn't a YTMND

Edit: That was also the first time I've looked at a twitter 'feed' (is that what you call them?).

Simply proving his point dude. Simply proving his point.

You, sir, looked at a 'tweet'.

And now you're proving his point more, dude. Proving it more.

The twat tweeted twenty times today.

It's sh1t if it doesn't feed the other half of the conversations. Very browser-unfriendly thing, twitter. By "browser" I mean person looking at it, not IE.

Ah, I see. They've been banging on about twitter on absolute radio quite alot recently but I never bothered to check it out until a link was virtually thrust under my mouse clicky pointer.

I have to admit, I quite like the idea of it. On the radio they have this feature called "the big I am", where people text/email in what they are up to in a short sentence. It's quite funny - but relies on the producer/presenter choosing the amusing ones and discarding all the chaff so to speak.

Maybe twitter needs some sort of lulz editor/aggregator to only show us the funny tweets.

http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/rss_swear.php is the only Twit-style feed you'll ever require.

I've commented.

If you follow both of the people, you see both sides of the conversation. If you only follow one of them, you don't see either side. I think that's very neat. In any event, what you see when you are not logged in isn't what you see if you are logged in.

Favrd. It also tracks by person and has a daily leaderboard (yesterday, day before, ...).

Lol, poppycock is on the feed!

Probably because 'cock' is on the feed.

That makes sense.

Why do you have to go and ruin things by explaining them?

I wonder if that works for other stuff. Skyscraper? Scrapbook?

I've just looked at Craster's post again and had a horrible mental image of his willy snuffling around for food.

Power of Twitter example: I linked to my comment on that article and 14 people had clicked through the link within five minutes. Which seems like a lot to me.

I love that feed

Piece sent to the Graun. Thanks for the feedback, folks.

I don't understand it.

What did you do, write to the editor? Have you heard anything back or did you just pitch it?

Wrote an entire piece and sent it to Charles Arthur, tech editor. Will put it publically on my blog if he chooses not to publish it.

It looks seriously malnourished, with a very matted coat and a cracked dry nose.

I really hope you did it in the style of Your Sinclair, where the first 90% of the article is about some nice cheese you had for lunch,.

I asked him to cut four paragraphs about steam powered submarines if that helps. I couldn't see the relevance.

It's all for naught, I say! All for naught because Geoff doesn't belong in the hometime slot, damnit.

I like Geoff and Iain Lee, and download those shows from itunes to listen to at work.

I do miss drunk Vs stoned though.

I can't stand them. I used to like Virgin Radio, but since they change to absolute, they've moved to more of their style of broadcasting.

Chris O'Connell in the morning is about the most of that style that I can take.

I like the guy who comes on at 10:00, and the guy who comes on at 13:00 I used to like Suggs, and I used to like Tony Hadley.

They should go back to the old name: Virgin Radio Soon To Be Absolute Radio.

In the meantime, they should be Absolute Radio Soon To Be 'Virgin Radio Soon To Be Absolute Radio'

Best bit of the article, frankly. That 'early adopters' line was pretty cringingly self-righteous, too. Facebook, Myspace et al get on my nerves, and I was still using an Amiga until late 1999, turning down a playstation in favour of having it repaired. It's entirely possible to just criticise something because you think it's a load of old shite, dear.

Also, hot air balloon ride? Erm... thanks and all, but next time just give me the money, yeah?

Most cringeworthy is this bit:


...


OMG. Desperate.
Yes Paul, Charlie Brooker and Graham Linehan are best mates with you, you are all in the Twitter gang and speak with the same mind and voice.

Erm, I right in thinking this guy has written and got paid for an article entirely about someone else saying that they don't like a website?

yup, we should do that on uptojump and see the money flow in.
