9 hilarious election tweets worth remembering

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: Lemme get this straight...

Actually we failed spectacularly at our use of Twitter, and there wasn't much of that at all in any sense.

I don't really see the problem. In any case, anyone who uses the contraction 'lemme' when typing ain't gonna get much love from me.

(Yes I know, that was the point.)

Re: re here we go again

Yeah, but last time I checked one is at liberty to insult others in this country. So strictly speaking, yes, you can. Whether or not you should is a matter for debate.

Andy, you are a terrible pig. I've heard men drone on for hours about nothing of consequence whatsoever on their phones on trains. Behave.

Re: @Sarah

Nah. I do have an all-purpose generic commentard one, though. I find it really comes in handy when moderation has done all it can.

I'll just say that

I have opinions on this but I am staying well out of it except to say, I bet you don't really care about any aspect of this as much as you think you do, and nor does anyone else.

I'll be glad when it's over, one way or another, it's just depressing.

Well, yeah. It's not like this doesn't have an IT angle. I have to deal with this issue, and about 1000 comments, every day, in my role as CENSOR.

Gov cans 'national day' plans

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Scottish stuff

Right, you lot, if you're going to take issue with the Scots go right ahead, but do it without leaning on the terribly clever figurative deep-fried Mars bar, because I'm not in the mood for that sort of petty stereotyping today and am not letting it through, 'k? 'K.

Fancy nipping for a quick two-thirds of a pint?

Re: Money, money, money

Gosh you lot don't half get upset.

Aha, half! Ha! I didn't even mean to do that and yet I did. Oh the lolz.

Anyway, you could get a third of a pint at the Banbury beer and cider festival when I went. Marked on the glass and everything. I would totally drink 2/3 - pint too big, half too small. So there.

Speed cams ditched in Wiltshire

Alright. ALRIGHT.

I give up. I'm just letting everything through now, regardless of how repetitive, as long as it's not totally offensive or incoherent. On your scroll wheel be it.

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

@all + sundry

Just to reassure you, this is being moderated. I know there's a lot of repetition but quite a lot of fair points, too.

I will start rejecting soon though before it gets really ridiculous, rather than just slightly.

Dawkins' atheist ad campaign hits fundraising target

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

agnostic/atheist

I did read somewhere that strictly speaking all reasonable and non-hysterical atheists *and* theists alike are also agnostic, in the sense that they accept there will never be absolute proof that there is or is not a God. So you're an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist if you accept the logical limits of your belief either way.

It's a nice idea, anyway, and I'll buy it. Any proper scholars on this?

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: @fLaMePr0oF

Also, people who think for themselves are free to reject the rather passive and inoffensive message here and choose religion, aren't they? Suggesting people think for themselves is pretty neutral and benign.

I can never get over how defensive the devout can be - surely one of the many enriching and fulfilling things about faith should be that it frees you from feeling you have to go on the warpath all the time against people who question your choices. It's genuinely sad.

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: Cowards

Don't be hysterical. I'd say 'God' in this instance covers pretty much every deity.

Anyway, the point is, WIN.

'*Our* section' - say what? I moderate it. So it's as much mine as it is yours.

The other Reg writers have been known to chip in from time to time, actually, but what can I say - I'm fascinated.

Re: Are you sure?

Ralphe, you are a giant prune. It's called word play. Haven't you ever made up your own collective noun? Haven't you ever looked at a list of actual collective nouns? They are colourful and brill and it is fun.

By the way, I know you are not *actually* a prune. It's called word play.

All this literal-mindedness makes me want to put my head on the desk and leave it there for a long long while. See, I couldn't even come up with anything oblique to express my exasperation. You people are poisoning my brain.

Incidentally, the correct collective noun for a group of idiots is a 'duhhhhh'.

Re: Not the sharpest marble in the deck

Heh. Lots of dogs will just eat anything. I worry that people don't know not to give them chocolate, or indeed raisins and grapes. The smaller the dog the greater the danger from these things.

Oh, and I must mention the lilies thing - you know the pollen from those things is poisonous to cats so you've got to watch it. If it falls on them and they lick it off their fur, they're in trouble.

Animals are weird, basically.

Re: Ben Franklin said it best ...

If anyone else quotes Ben Franklin I will scream. Not that it's not a corking quote, it's just that it gets wheeled out so very often and so very loftily as to sap it of all its power and meaning.

No.

Re: What ?

Er, objectively I'd think destruction of habitat would account for a few more bird deaths overall than windfarms. I don't know, but refusing one thing and not another isn't always the height of hypocrisy, like.

Jacqui Smith resurrects 42-days after Lords rejection

Re: what is it with...

Sadly it's because women *have* to be tougher than everyone else to get to the top, because it's still more difficult for women. Which means the only women who get to the top at present are the most terrifyingly ambitious and hardened ones. The wrong ones, basically.

I still can't quite explain Palin, though. Holy good gravy.

Personally I think it's a bit remiss of you not to acknowledge his second cousin "Is it just me or is everything shit?", and his estranged twin "Ooh if you're going to the shop could you pick up a Mail for me? And a Crunchie bar. Thanks".
