Is there something I'm missing out on?

I guess it depends on what you want. I remember asking Holly Johnson of Frankie goes to Hollywood a question publicly and to my surprise he started following me - Lord knows why though.

Thing is, as we are now following each others account, it means we can send direct messages to each other. Every now and again I will ask him a question about his music or art and don't think he's not answered any of the dozen or so I've sent him.

As a fan there have been a lots of rumour and folklore about his career but I'm now able to clear up those questions simply by asking. In that respect it's quite neat because you can speak to people you might not normally get chance to.

A lot depends on how they use their account as to whether you can get followed back. As you only have 140 characters to play with I guess that the celebs know that getting into long and painful correspondence is far less likely.

Yeah, I guess that is neat.

Can you read in a car? I would get majorly car sick.

Provided it's not dark. You're not moving at high speed when stuck in traffic.

Ah, good point, sir.

Pretty much every single moment in my dull, mundane, soul destroying job has been exactly the same. The highlight is the time I finish, the worst moment, clocking on.

But I work from home, so I wear pyjamas to work. And piss about on internet forums while I'm being paid.

Sounds like heaven.

That's why I'm still here after 5 years, even though it's so lacking in intellectual stimulation that my brain cells are not just dying, they're committing suicide.

Now stop talking over This Morning...

Ha yes, there's a posh sex addict on...

James Cotter?

Not unless he's invested in a large blonde wig?

Best moment: sitting between Jimmy Tarbuck and Bob Carolgees at the TV Quick awards, and realising 'I've made it!'.

Are you a scruffy black terrier?

I love those days so much. Much better than the ones where I'm in a strange city. Except London- I like it when they send me there.

I have no high moments really in my career. I got a job straight from college and am still here. End of. Plenty of lows of which watching a parent go across the yard in dressing gown pyjamas and furry boots on Tuesday counts. Also once walking down the corridor and being met by a parent who told me he was going to fill my face in. That was a lively encounter.

Plenty of highs outside of my job if someone wants to start a new thread

Spit the Dog was sold at auction a few years back. Very sad.

Even sadder, some mug paid over £5,000 for it.

Aww. Poor old Spit the dog.
Doesn't Carolgees own a candle shop now, or something?
