A London-based geek finding consolation in Gilbert&Sullivan, novels told in the first person, 80s films and the idea that very few things are actually important

@joelycett Joe, have you ever woken up and said to yourself: "Yeah, today I feel like I wanna be a talking pear"?

@jimrossmeskimen Also, I've just finished watching "Frost/Nixon", and there was that guy who looked eerily familiar...

@TfL It's 6:53pm. We are on a DLR train going from Stratford to Woolwich. There is a group of drunk middle-aged men shouting obscenities and making noise, holding beer bottles. The conductor is not doing a thing. Is this an OK thing to happen?

@MatthewJshow @realDonaldTrump You don't really know much about the world's opinion, do you?

@vornietom Well, Dickens actually had something to say. King, on ther other hand, admitted himself that his books are the literary equivalent of a Big Mac.

@Eurostar Dear ES, what's the etiquette when the person seated next to you munches on potato chips at such a volume that you can't concentrate on your work/book? I could ask them to stop, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't.

@neilhimself Hi Neil! Our Gilbert & Sullivan society has been wondering: was it you who had the idea to set a scene from "Good Omens" to a piece from "The Gondoliers"?

@VinceMcMahon Dear Vince, I have never watched wrestling and have no interest in it. But I have just watched @iamjohnoliver 's @LastWeekTonight episode on you, and I was wondering: would it be possible to do what you do and be a good person? If so, wouldn't it be worth trying?

@simontrewin Hi Simon! I've written a novel and come across your profile. As you appreciate strong narrative voices as much as I do, I would be absolutely thrilled to show it to you, but you no longer seem to be with UA? Is there any other way I can get in touch? Many thanks!

Isn't it odd that the tweets sent by people of the right usually contain a grammatical error, or a logical one

If 'their' so patriotic, why don't they learn to speak the language properly ? https://t.co/FoHKNHZLFV

[Michael Fleischer @VSmall2ClassCar]

@JohnCleese But if we're serious, it's because right-wingers are more likely to be poorly educated, this is why their lives are not as good, this is why they are upset, this is why they turn to the right - their only 'achievements' are the ones they were born with. Simple!

@RETROTOYING Depends on whether this poll is for your heart or your mind.

@LSwitlyk Always surprised there are actually people like you. Like a proper movie villain except in real life.

[Michael Fleischer @VSmall2ClassCar]

@The_Real_One96 @LSwitlyk Maybe the difference is that animals hunt to survive and not to put the pictures on social media? You know, some people claim that the white race is superior to all other races in a very similar tone.

British cinema has two Jim Broadbents: One is Jim Broadbent, and the other one is Tom Wilkinson.

Just can't believe how stupendous "Twilight" is! ... Wait, did I say "stupendous"? I meant stupid.

[Michael Fleischer @VSmall2ClassCar]

@WoolwichPigeon It's fantastic that they've put up a humongous "Don't litter" poster right on the main square, isn't it? Surely, things will change now, and the streets will become clean! #woolwich #greenwich

Maybe an apple a day does keep the doctor away but it all depends on how hard you throw those apples at the doctor.
