This happened to me a few years ago. I married him and we have a dd together now Smile

ashtrayheart · 22/08/2014 14:36

I felt the same when I was blocked by George Galloway Grin

ArcheryAnnie · 22/08/2014 15:29

ashtrayheart that's deffo one to be proud of!

(Was it mentioning his sexism, his racism, his favouring of dodgy dictators, or his general all-round douchebaggery that got you blocked?)

Heels99 · 22/08/2014 15:32

Echo freckle we need more details.

I got an answering tweet from Claire B too (swoon) & I had a short convo with her lovely wife Alice about builders ..... I luffs them.

YouTheCat · 22/08/2014 15:47

Simon Day (Fast Show) follows dd on Twitter. I don't do Twitter.

meglet · 22/08/2014 16:10

I had a flash of feminist intelligence once and Mariella Frostrup RT'd me.

puntasticusername · 22/08/2014 16:24

Rhianna Pratchett favourited one of my tweets.

Enormously jealous re Tom Selleck. Is Keanu Reeves on Twitter at all, does anyone know...

50KnockingonabiT · 22/08/2014 17:07

Schofe follows me :D

PyjamaDramaAmy · 22/08/2014 17:32

Alex Winters RTd me. I swooned a bit.

puntasticusername · 22/08/2014 18:49

Rhiannon! Ffs. Such a massive fan, I am Hmm

ArsenicyOldFace · 22/08/2014 18:50

Aww bless Smile

LRDtheFeministDragon · 22/08/2014 18:57

Grin Aww, no, YANBU.

No one famous has ever retweeted me (I'll sulk! Wink), but several times someone who people I really admire have, and I was so excited. Bidisha followed me the other day and I squeed. Because I am a child. Grin I think she's wonderful.

I am, however, envious of the dizzying heights ashtray reached, and agree it is a worthy goal.

TheFairyCaravan · 22/08/2014 19:00

Leon and June from GoggleBox retweeted me. DS1 was proper jealous!Grin

HenriettaTurkey · 22/08/2014 19:03

Simon Mayo and Evan Davis have both replied to my twitter comments. Made me smile! :)

HenriettaTurkey · 22/08/2014 19:05

Ooh & Pam Grier (Jackie/Foxy Brown) and Matthew Stevens (snooker player) both follow me...

I must be thoroughly entertaining! Grin

maddening · 22/08/2014 19:08

What was it that these famous folk retweeted? I am genuinely nosey :)

LRDtheFeministDragon · 22/08/2014 19:15

Oh. Sad

This thread prompted me to look, and Bidisha unfollowed me. I wonder what I said?

While we're on the subject, what's that thing where people tweet 'today, 2 people followed and 5 unfollowed'?

ShelaghTurner · 22/08/2014 19:53

I take screenshots of my phone when notifications pop up from the objects of my fangirling tweeting me! Blush

OftheTwilighttheDarkness · 22/08/2014 20:01

Duncan Jones replied to a tweet I sent him. I was very chuffed.

AmIthatHot · 22/08/2014 20:05

Iwan Thomas has replied to two of my tweets, plus sent me a DM. He is very funny and rude

AmIThatHot Iwan thomas is without fail the rudest person I follow.

TBH I don't follow many slebs and no one super famous. Oh, except George Michael who is huge fun when he kicks off.

ForalltheSaints · 22/08/2014 21:53

Yes.

I have been tweeted by a double Olympic gold medallist.
