Now that I've gotten your attention, you bloodthirsty mob you...I want to say that @BrumPlum was just making a comment that many of us have thought before. Stephen Fry is an interesting person, and a legendary entertainer, however nobody can be interesting and entertaining all of the time. I have read tweets by Mr Fry that were remarkably dull. I personally do not care which operating systems or browsers or phones Stephen Fry likes. And he posts about technology a LOT. So I would also have to say that some of his tweets are boring. People have said I'm boring, @BrumPlum's boring, and other people are boring. It doesn't usually result in a lynchmobbing by lots of people who probably haven't even read the offending comment. This is a bandwagon that has been rolling for far too long, please can somebody hit the brakes?
The abuse targeted at @brumplum today has been a hell of a lot worse than the word "boring". The way the majority of users have been baying for blood is sickening, and reminiscent of crowds campaigning for the beheading of a Danish cartoonist, and a teacher in Sudan who named a teddy bear. Mr Fry has recently made comments regarding Auschwitz which he has apologised for. He has branded Jan Moir "a repulsive nobody", which although it is true, is harsher than "boring". That was the last time Mr Fry used his Twitter influence to organise a lynchmob, only that time there were valid grounds. Twitfreaks need to be less like sheep and assess a situation for themselves. In my humble opinion, Brumplum has done nothing wrong here, yet he's had hundreds of people sending him abuse because Mr Fry took offence to being called boring, and overreacted in extremely melodramatic fashion.
Grow up guys, leave the poor bloke alone. I bet I could look back in every single one of your feeds and find a more hurtful comment than calling someone boring. Pot, Kettle.
Thank you.
P.S. Alan Davies, you are still a cock, and Virgin Media were still in the right :)

No Moir, please
I'm back on twitter btw :p
Jan Moir is a twunt. There, I said it.
Link to article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1220756/Why-natural-Stephen-Gatelys-death.html
Obviously the Daily Mail are moderating the comments to this article, surprise surprise, so I'll post mine here.
"I have to agree with Jan Moir. Nothing bad ever happens within straight marriage. Fred and Rose west were happily married and nothing bad happened there in their straight world. Anyone can find bad examples of any demographic, and twist facts to suit them. Do some real journalism, instead of lazy biggoted tale-spinning. This would be the reason I never buy the Daily Mail I guess. Jan is a disgrace to the profession and should never write again in my humble opinion."
If anyone would like to complain about Jan Moir, as she has breached clauses 1, 3, 5 and 12 of the Code Of Practice, you can do so via the Press Complaints Commission: http://www.pcc.org.uk/complaints/form.html

lachance680 is no longer on twitter. Saves me paying for the full version of gravity i guess.
Rantfest
I passed the end of training exam. This is the one bonus, although you needed to be efftarded to fail both attempts. Why do certain people always have to ask the most irrelevent questions they can think of? Ones that are not only stupid, but have nothing to do with our role. The same person, every day for 14 days. And why can we not tell that person to stfu. I would have loved to have told them to stfu, as would everyone else in our training group. This is a person who has claimed they died twice during an operation, and had previously worked for the secret service in their home country, and the EMI record label. Surely with those jobs, you would know how to use username/password combinations, and how to find google.com. If you're life has been boring, admit you haven't done much, don't make up ridiculous stories as it only makes you look like a tit.
I do not want to convert to Islam. No matter how many times I say this, people don't seem to listen. "Islam has all the answers", so does a dodgy salesman. Anyone/anything that claims to have all the answers, is a liar. No matter what the subject is, noone knows everything.
If you can see that I have a new email window open, and I'm trying to hear the trainer reading out the email address of the person you want me to email about us doing a shift swap, do not tell me to email her at the time the email address is being read out, so I can't hear the email address. If the window's open and I'm typing, it's blatantly obvious I'm emailing her.
Do not claim to be a comedian, if you aren't funny in the slightest. If in 14 days you haven't made a single person laugh at your jokes, you're a shit comedian.
I'm sorry, it's just today was bad enough without everyone making it worse. I think I've done well to stay patient for as long as I have done.
If people read this, and know parts are about them, I'm just venting.
Future posts will hopefully be a bit less bitchy.

The beginning of the end?
Well, I guess it's about time I had somewhere to vent. I can't guarantee this will be entertaining, regular or unoffensive, but as noone's paying to read it, like it or lump it I guess.
