The Twafioso - A blog about Twitter's...
On the front page of Twitter’s home page, it reads “FOLLOW YOUR INTERESTS - INSTANT UPDATES FROM YOUR FRIENDS, INDUSTRY EXPERTS, FAVOURITE CELEBRITIES AND WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD”. Those two lines i have highlighted in bold above are the two i really want to put the spotlight and focus on in this blog today as i experienced quite a startling and...
Phone-hack n' slash
2011 has been the year where tabloid journalism is now regarded as one of the more redundant and futile professions in the UK, almost as much as the writing job i am currently undertaking, which involves me trying to ghostwrite a sex guide in crayon for Wayne Rooney to recite verbatim for an audiobook version which aims to help depressed panda bears find the motivation to want to engage in a...

Yesterday, if you didn’t bear witness to the storm that heralded a cataclysmic event which Nostradamus either didn’t predict in his many doom-laden quatrains, or which he just simply couldn’t be arsed recording onto a parchment with his trusty quill then here is what happened……
For last night, Jeremy Clarkson blurted out an off-the-cuff statement he made no attempt...

I haven’t blogged in a long long while but last night i was watching BBC Question Time like i usually do on Twitter and do some live commentary on the proceedings along with thousands of other people throughout the country contributing their thoughts and feelings in reaction to what they are seeing onscreen, as per usual there is a bit in the show where David Dimbleby mentions Twitter and...

Scotland's Shame
I am writing this blog today because i am ashamed, appalled and abhorred by the country i call my birthplace and home.
Last night, a story was reported in the news last night that parcels containing nailbombs were sent to current Celtic manager Neil Lennon, Paul McBride QC and former MSP Trish Godman.
Weeks before that, Neil Lennon as well as Celtic players Paddy McCourt and Niall McGinn had...
God Hates Neurosceptic
This past week has been an interesting one full of debate about that subjective hot potato called Christianity, the kind of potato that if you cut it open, you’ll see the visage of Jesus Christ staring back at you, which you decide to let cool down for an hour before you go sell it to the highest superstitious idiot for thousands of pounds on eBay, or alternatively you’ll sell it for...

A Eulogy For Gavin
Everyone who had the pleasure to have known Gavin will know that he was blessed with many great traits, there is literally an inordinate amount, almost too many to mention, I think that’s perfect testament to the man’s personality and character and why we are here today to honour and respect Gavin.
You could literally take your pick. Generosity. Tolerance. Honesty, Trustworthiness,...

It’s with great regret and sadness that i write this blog today paying tribute to my dear departed friend Gavin Fern, whom as a lot of you know was a person i was campaigning tirelessly on Twitter to help locate via the #HelpFindGavin hashtag since his disappearance in November 20th 2010. I am sure Gav wouldn’t have liked to have read a tribute bogged down with cliches but he was a...

NEUROSCEPTIC'S NOBLE CAUSE FOR 2011: A CAMPAIGN TO...
Today, i decided to start a campaign: “The character of foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker, played by Peter Capaldi, has fast become one of the most popular characters in British comedy of all-time in the multi-award winning series The Thick Of It. Being that Malcolm Tucker is a legendary character, and a Scottish one at that, it should only be right that a statue of Malcolm...

A Serbian Film
I don’t normally write film reviews on this blog, mainly because 1) I don’t think anyone would be interested in my opinions about films 2) Everyone’s opinion about a film is their own and there is really no right or wrong opinion on a film, it’s a matter of how it affected that individual and 3) I usually just moan about stuff on this blog…..however, in this instance,...

Welcome to the United Kingdom Of Complainers
Last night i glimpsed a vision of the future where the BBC’s most popular TV channel would be Points Of View 24 where Terry Wogan’s disembodied head would sit inside a jar upon a mantelpiece reading out the endless diatribes of people wishing to complain about literally everything there was to moan ad infinitum about, to which the energy of complaining would then be harnessed to a...

Once again, i am finding myself writing about Twitter on this blog again. Why?. Well, tonight i, along with many other people, watched a new TV series on Channel 4 called Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and poked fun at it. It seems that most of us were meant to watch this programme as an insightful documentary about travelling people and their sacred and traditional values about marriage, which...

Hello. I decided to write this blog piece to ask YOU to help us in our search for our friend Gavin Fern, who has been missing since the 20th November 2010. I’ve been constantly tweeting the various links which show his picture, all the information about his activity prior to his disappearance and the contact numbers for Strathclyde Police and Fife Constabulary in case someone has any...
A message for my friend Gavin Fern
Hey man, i can’t express how surreal this situation is but it’s difficult to believe you’ve been gone for well over a month and still not contacted anyone to tell them you’re okay man. It really hit home harder than ever before tonight being that it’s Christmas Eve and you’re still out there somewhere. It’s hard to believe we’re this close to...

HELP FIND GAVIN
Tonight, i learned that a friend and a former work colleague of mine called Gavin Fern has been missing since Saturday and there has been no contact from him since that afternoon. This is completely uncharacteristic of Gav being that i worked closely with him on nightshift at a job i used to work at a 24 hour taxi booking service call centre years ago. He is a really easy-going, pleasant and...

At the end of last week, a rather unpleasant incident occurred on Twitter which once again spurred me into pondering the influence the celebrities on Twitter have over people on the site. I don’t need to go into too many details about the particular incident in question as anyone who uses Twitter regularly will know i am making reference to the one involving @Sharongooner and...

Neuro's Vision Of The Future
Last Wednesday, me and my friend Richard Irvine began recording the first podcast in our Sons Of Apathy series and we mused upon the subject of “The Future”, when i say “The Future” i don’t mean our own futures but “The Future” as in the future of mankind and our world and what we thought it might look like and what it might feel like to live in. ...

It’s been a while since i’ve blogged about anything, circumstances in my life have changed somewhat and my time on the Internets has decreased a tad, therefore my Twitter activity has lapsed a bit and i’ve been out of the loop on the various topics and subjects the rabid denizens of Twitter chew and digest into 140 digestive lumps or less everyday. There’s never a day...
