say it aint so..boris 'padre pio' 'mr arsenal times' mellor is going mainstream baby!!!

It's about time.

Up to now I've never even looked at Twitter.

Same here 80's. I dont see what all the fuss is about really. But then again I didnt see what all the fuss about facebook was either till I got it.

Arsenal and the horses take up too much of my time to be getting involved in Facebook/twitter etc.

Eduardo da silva - IS BACK

Got banned from facebook a couple of weeks ago and i got to say it feels good to not waste 2/3 hours a day on that stupid site

will have to check twitter...have not used it before

how did you get banned from facebook? lol

thats the problem for living in a dorm

went to the bathroom and forgot to logoff from facebook so a couple of my friends took the oppurtunity to change my display picture to a picture of 2 black men who were fully nude

Padre, I can't find you on twitter. I typed in your name both with and without a space and nothing came up.

Facebook is a great site.

LOOOL
surly they cant ban u for that though?

facebook is one of those sites i use quite a bit but dont really like, yet still use it

I'm kinda getting the hang of Facebook, it's more interactive than Myspace. Twitter on the other hand can be boring though. I just use Twitter to share stuff, or get the latest news before they appear other places online.

I'm sort of wondering about getting a twitter account. I mean, its one more way of talking sh*t to people I dont really know, so that's got to be good.

But one thing, I thought you had to pay to join twitter, or has that stopped now and they just get revenue through advertising like facebook.

Also, how does it actually work. Where do your 'tweets' actually go? how do you get 'followers', and how do you know that they are following you?

sorry about all these questions but I cant be arsed to read their website theres too many pages.

Exactly. I started Facebook and ended up wasting whole days chatting rubbish. I cant afford to get addicted to Twitter.

Think I might check it out soon though.

Type in "BorisMellor" I assume its case sensitive so capital B and M with no gap.

Its free to open and use.

Right I'm on twitter now.

I'm called @1burnm apparently.

Its a bit boring though. What happens next.

By the way I cant find BorisMellor, which is the main reason I signed up. I don't think your on there mate. My only twitter friend or whatever they are called, is a wine warehouse belonging to my mate, so all I have is a long list of things about wine.

Dont think much of it so far.

should ave kept celine dion mate..would ave gotten you TONS of followers lol

Yes a lot of angry followers when they discovered my tweets were about drinking beer and arsenal fc instead of singing lovely songs in the charts and stuff.

Still not finding Padre or Celine. Tried upper and lower case, still nothing.

Well, its my second day of Twitter and its just as sh*t as yesterday. I've got a load of stuff about wine still, some comments about going shopping in Covent Garden by Stephen Fry, and I have been through the recommended threads and read some very badly spelled comments about their explicit sexual preferences by some American people. Plus there's all funny URLs and @_ kind of stuff everywhere what I don't understand, and I still cant find Boris Mellor despite having tried every conceivable spelling and spacing of his name.

I asked some people from work what I should do with it and they recommended I 'followed' Joe Lovejoy. Well thats the icing on the cake as far as I am concerned. I detest that man with a passion, the thought of his crass comments appearing on my mobile phone unrequested, makes my blood run cold.

Twitters got till the end of the week to get better or I'm coming off it.

Im on it now (well, i have started using my old one) and im 'Goofle11'

Just search for Arsenal or football, along with other topics of interest to you. I get loads of football news.

Add people who post topics of interest to you.

Can someone just clarify this for me, is Twitter a place to follow the posts of people like P.Diddy and Britney Spears? Can't really see myself bothered to follow someone else's posts day after day.

Or am I mistaken?

Its true. My two, and only two, posts on Twitter are "F*ck Twitter" and "I'm quitting" all in the space of two hours.

well i found you from that link Padre. So I am now following you, as well as Stephen Fry which is of course obligatory for all Twitter users. But the name search definitely doesn't work. I cant even find myself.

I am busy telling my follower news he already knows. Apparently he diudnt like "The Core" cant say that I know.

Well, I know that piece of 'twitter' news about Carlo Cudicini already Padre, for example it was on this actual website about 10 hours ago.

But lets persevere with 'twitter', I feel today that I have won a small 'twitter' victory now that I have been able to follow you. Now my news thread is not exclusively about wine.

What about just making up loads of football related news. That would probably get us both a lot more followers.

By the way, 'the core' has no relevance, it is simply a bad science fiction film that I watched on Wednesday night. I had to put it as my update because I had done nothing else all day.

Well I put Cuddicini on because I hadnt any other news all day.

Anhow Curbs is on More4 at 10;40 so bowlocks to Twitter unless Stan Kroenke buys the club before midnight.

Once I get used to it I will notify of any breaking news - but havent linked mobile to it. Thats the next stage.

I feel encouraged today Padre, I am enjoying twitter a little bit more than yesterday. i have found some French football websites, who are determined to update me about their latest news. that should get rid of the 'wine updates'.

by the way i tried to answer your 'direct question' but twitter got angry with me and would not post my response. It clearly has a lot of bugs.

If it was about the film I got it ok, but there are lots of bugs. URLs dont seem to work

No the film comment was just a random thing to see if it worked. You asked me a 'direct question' (who was I on here, I think it was) but when I attempted to answer, it told me off with a huge banner at the top of the screen. Then 5 minutes later, it let me answer you about something else. Seems to be lots of rules and bugs.

That said, I like twitter now. Did you Antonio Carluccio the famous and overweight Italian TV chef is currently flying from Dublin to Amsterdam to meet some friends?

No I didnt know that. I have worked out which you are anyhow

Yes join the twitter revolution Mike its like a party on the computer. At the moment its mainly me and Padre telling each other what we are having for lunch, but I'm sure theres more to come. Everybody else I have told to follow me from like, real life, have told me to f*ck off.

It was quite handy yesterday, actually, when I was desperately trying to find out how badly injured RVP was, I looked at the tweets from people in Holland, put them into a Dutch/English translation engine, and found that they didn't know that much about it either.

Also you can 'follow' famous people, largely so far it appears that their lives consist of getting on and off planes.

I am 1burnm, by the way, should you decide to take the twitter plunge. If I can get 2 followers I will go to bed a happy man.

This sticky has outlived my interest in twitter.
