@sarahtgold Thanks Sarah! 😀
@warrenellis The other day I ordered a subwoofer that’s made in Southend… I’m worried that it’ll only make the sound of you growling.
@shoez Thanks for the thought, but not my cup of tea I’m afraid.
@gilest That sounds like a desperate appeal, stuck to lampposts, with my sad face gazing out. (Thanks!)
@iotwatch Thank you! You are jolly awesome too.
@minor9th Oh you! No, YOU’RE amazing!

@yoz Thank you Yozlet! 😘
@paulpod Thanks! Ambition: Only have work when it’s wet or cold.
@genmon Thanks! :awkward shoulder punch:
@russelldavies At the end of the day I’d like to hit the ground running. If we can get the ball rolling you’ll get more bang for your buck. It’s a win-win!
@hostler Thanks for “circling back”!
That page about my work could be better. I’ll “reach out” and give you a “heads up” when I’ve improved my “offering”.

.@guardian @RupertNeate When you say the Shard laser display was “dazzling” I think you mean “disappointing” or “underwhelming”.

Why for are there pullquotes below the fold on pieces written for the web? If I'm scrolling I'm already reading the damn story.
