"The inventor of the TV remote control has died. He's gone over to the other side"

Jeremy has tweeted that he's been recording QI tonight, on a panel with Sandy Toksvig, Jason Manford and of course Alan Davies.

Another one from Milton Jones:
"I'm surrounded by preserved vegetables in jars. It's like piccallili circus round here"
Is anyone following anyone they find particularly interesting? I'm rather enjoying the QI Elves (@qikipedia) and, because I'm always interested in relics even older than myself, Time Team (@thetimeteam) who tweet various bits and bobs from digs as they're being filmed.
Any recommendations gratefully received.

For those not on Twitter...James's recent foray into poetry. ;D
Twitter has not yet been applied to the thorny problem of 140-character poetry. I’m working on some four-line dities about my Honda 90.
Little Honda, little Honda,
Product of Soichiro,
90cc sweeps the piston,
50 in top gear-oh.
Little Honda, little Honda,
Four-stroke one-pot hero.
Four down none up toe-heel boot-work
Cheers the late Soichiro.
Little Honda, little Honda,
Not a Honda Seeley.
First gear, clutch out with abandon
Doesn’t do a whee oh God I can’t be arsed any more.
Little Honda, little Honda,
Not unlike a Haiku.
Makes more sense in Japanese
Soichiro, Arigato!
Ah, little Honda,
Little Honda little Hond,
Ah look at the ducks.
What a nut. ;D

James made me sniffle this morning: If you own the B&W cat on my street, can you tell him it's OK to come in through my office window. I don't mind #scaredycatsI think he's missing poor old Fusker  |

James's hashtags are brilliant. I'm not sure what the purpose of them is, but his are really funny.

I don't mind #scaredycatsI think he's missing poor old Fusker I reacted in exactly the same way. Clearly he's not replaced Fusker, and I can imagine him missing feline company. He followed up an enquiry about Fusker with Fusker died last year, sadly. We all miss him round here. #deardepartedpetswhich made me snuffle even more/it's just hay fever, honest. |

James has been on cracking form this morning, tweeting frequently over the past couple of hours, including a response to Pie (but I won't steal her thunder by giving away any details!)
He's clearly got heavily into the style of tweeting and is playing around with it as a good wordsmith should. There's a real playfulness about the hashtags (right word?) he's creating and he's frequently made me laugh at his dry wit. Some of my favourites:
To James -do you still have your Guzzi? I’d love a Norton, but I’m not allowed a bike. My wife says.
James' reply - Sell wife on Ebay
From James - I'm a bit pissed off with the jubilee weather. Wanted to see half-naked drunks falling in the river. #Englandatitsbest
From James - It's possible to like new and old bikes, people. I also like cats and dogs, and I drink beer and wine. I like and dislike Jeremy Clarkson.
Reply - who doesn't like and dislike clarkson , perhaps my wife ,she can't stand him , she likes you though !
From James - Sensible woman you have there, sir. Look after her
Finally, he's off on his bike
Right, that's enough of this. I'm off for a burn-up with Oliver Cromwell on his Harley. #missusdoingyogavideo

Yes, I got a reply! Certainly wasn't expecting one. When I saw it, I was unfortunately in an environment where I couldn't really think about it or give it due attention (i.e. with other people), so it was kind of like "oh, great" but not much more! Crazy, I know. But it has made me a bit happy. ;D For those not in the know, I slopped last night's dinner on my favourite stripey jumper. I've tried stain remover and washing it, but to no avail so I thought I'd send a photo of it to him. His response: "Wear it like that. It's a decoration for food bravery." More like a decoration to show everyone how stupid I am! ;D He's been on fire with his tweets lately. The hashtags are very funny. It's nice that he's actually bothering to reply to a few here and there...I reckon he's enjoying being a member of Twitsville. ;D |

He's very clever.
Is it going to piss it down for the jubilee day? #Longtorainoverus

He has been quite active. It's as if he answers at random, depending on his mood at the time.

Made me think James must be missing his furry friend too :-( Maybe I should tweet him an offer to adopt one of my foster kitties? None of them are black and white, though some of them are grey and white. Hmm...what do you think? |

I think you should do it AM. Include one of the REALLY cute photos, and possibly mention the import of said kitty could improve trade relations between the US and GB!! Or not!!

The somewhat childish feud between Clarkson and Piers Morgan continues apace. Now they have Twitter as a medium to insult eachother. Morgan has tweeted:
"Poor old @jcrclarksonesq was desperate to do Top Gear USA, but NBC rejected him. He pretends it was his decision...I know better."
What a norbert...

Rowland French tweeted that there was nothing official yet about TGL going to Canada or/and the US and when he had info he would tweet. I've tweeted him about this as well. It would be so nice for them to come here.

James is on a roll this morning. After numerous pithy comments about the jubilee, he tweeted this: sh*t. We can't find the remote to turn this off. #desperatescrabbledownbackofsofawithmissusmayleadtosomethignifi'mlucky Naughty, naughty boy. |
