Did you ban John Hemming (the MP) for outing me ?

[CarpeVinum]

Cos he isn't on The Thread.

And I'd like to know why.

I am immaginging that the party whip we've been phoning, emailing and twittering has tied him up and run off with his keyboard.

Can I hang on to that fantasy, or did you ban him ?

It's not the end of the world to me that he posted my twitter account, knowing it was me and knowing it was my real name. But I will quickly drum up some minding if required to purge MN of his presence.

Also any smaller boggers people know about who might prick up their ears if they heard about it ?

Doesn't have to be twitter, email and leaving messages on blog links just as good.

This is a link to all Yardley coucillors, with email addresses and everything. I tweeted a few of them pre xmas, but now there is a tidy sysnopsis, maybe email the entire text to all of them ?

Anybody want to split the list with me ? There are four pages.

They really ought to know, becuase it is right on their doorstep and if it does start to gain traction, better they are able to make hay rather than stutter and go "wotcha talking about Willis ?" No ?

Am I alone again ?

Oh. Everybody's gone to twitter and fscebook and left the Luddite behind.

Ohh Carpe your tweet to Bill Bailey has got a 'Top Tweet' mark next to it whatever that means?

Qucik Quick! We must know what a top tweet is ! Especially if like having winning raffle ticket ! I had that on one before xams now I come to think of it. Still no idea what it means.

Maybe I won prize for most tweets saying the same thing in slightly different manner ?

oh, is not top tweet on mine.

No raffle prize !

I am hoping Tim Minchin will write the John Hemming V Mumsnet Smackdown anthem.

Twitter makes no sense. Apparently to tweet means it's the most popular tweet on tour timeline. But since nobody faved or retweeted it.... how can this be ?

Stupid twitter.

I though I might have won a bottle of wine or something.

I have done some emailing - no responses though.

Does anyone know when Legal Blogger Bloke will be having his debate with JH?

I doubt it will happen bore.

But Joh if you are reading this you really should take up Damian Stuart's offer of a debate. Lots of people here would be very interested to sit in the audience.

Got sausages, will travel.

Hullo, I have been watching all this from the start and it makes my blood boil but I am not very good with words so I have watched in angry silence. I am currently learning how to tweet and send the message on to a few newsy people I follow. Long live the unstoppable oil tanker. No elected representative of us should be allowed to behave in this manner.

Lost! If you get a minute would you retweet my tweets to all the comedienns... it might help push it under their nose a bit more (not sure how twitter works, but if mine shows up retweeted it might "bump" up the list, or sparkle or something) . All we need is one retweet from them (even accidental) and it goes on squillons of timelines,! Cos they have millions of followes !

Long shot, but worth trying to make it catch their eye,

I will! Probably, twitter is just baffling isn't it?

I suspect it is baffling on purpose. Cos it doesn't feel very accidental.

Won't even let me change my profile pic.

But did let me add link to (John)HemmingGate v Mumsnet Christmas Smackdown Synopsis to the top of my page.

Eventually.

Why can't everywhere else be like Mumsnet ?

Do you know what twitter make me think of ? It's like MNHQ got a collective case of "no gin due to protracted Gin Makers strike" madness and took ALL the posts from ALL the threads and just throw them hiddily piddily in one big thread. And then expected ypu to work out how to put the jigsaw together and try to follow a million threads all at the same time.

I get sweaty on twitter.

YES higgledy piggledy everywhere. Twitter makes me feel old.

I've just retweeted a load of @... posts

Do you reckon its worth putting a post in aibu with the link in it that we can keep bumped? A lot of people will see it then?

Ps, can someone send me the fb link!?

..old and Ludditey.

MN nice cos it's... the way it always was. No horrible changey things.

Thanks lost its nice to know that other people are lurking and we aren't just a load of bats talking between ourselves!

If any other lurkers want to pop in and let us know too that would be lovely!

Beyond check your PM envelopy thingie!

Can I join please.

I've even dusted my twitter off can you pm me your @twitterhandle so i can start tweeting.

Would it be worth contacting Charlie Brooker?

ohhhhh! good idea!

Is Charlie Brooker Bot actually him ? Am confused.

Puffin CYPM and

Carpe, I've just looked at your link to Yardley Council - 4 wards, yes? I am happy to do some emailing (that's Old Skool enough for me to cope with); shall I just work my way down the list, short covering rant letter, then link to the blogpost?

If Tim Minchin does The Anthem, I want to give him his prize btw

Weyhey, got it!
