My shitpipes are already running like the stopcock has busted, thanks very much! It's like pissing out of your ringpiece!

 

[DaveCinzano]

That's a joke, surely? She's taking the piss out of her dads former lodger...

She's coming to Bristol

It offers a bit of relief from the effects of heavy boozing - man in the pub said so.

LP's stickers:

Lezard's hats

LOL

 

[J Ed]

What is it with cunts and hats? Nigel Falange, George Galloway, Laurie Penny, Yvonne Ridley, Lez... they're all at it.

 

[rekil]

And look at Lez and his massive glass of wine.

Hey, wine is a little bit anarchism. Anarkos Rosso Puglia.

 

[sihhi]

Lez... they're all at it.

Lezard, a twitter user, attacks twitter:

"Its unreflective instantaneousness encourages neurotic behaviour in both the tweeters and the twatted (seriously, the Americans have proposed that "twatted" should be the past participle of "tweet", which is the only funny thing about the whole business); it encourages us in the delusion that our random thoughts, our banal experiences, are significant. It is masturbatory and infantile, and the amazing thing is that people can't get enough of it – possibly because it IS masturbatory and infantile.

Answering the question: "Why do so many people seem to like Twitter?" Twitter itself does not say: "Because people are idiots with a steadily decreasing attention span, and 140 characters is pretty much all anyone has space for in their atrophied brains any more," but instead, "People are eager to connect with other people and Twitter makes that simple."
...
Oh God, that it should have come to this. Centuries of human thought and experience drowned out in a maelstrom of inconsequential rubbish (and don't tell me about Trafigura – one good deed is not enough, and an ordinary online campaign would have done the trick just as well). It is like some horrible science-fiction prediction come to pass: it is not just that Twitter signals the end of nuanced, reflective, authoritative thought – it's that no one seems to mind.
And I suspect that it's psychologically dangerous. We have evolved over millions of years to learn not to bore other people with constant updates about what we're doing (I'm opening a jar of pickles ... I'm picking my nose ... I'm typing out a message on Twitter ...) and we're throwing it all away. Twitter encourages monstrous egomania"

 

[DotCommunist]

the twitterari are so ready to cunt twitter off the minute they fuck themselves up on it 'thats it! i shall tweet no more!'

three weeks later..

TMI fella. Next you'll be telling me you've named your chalfonts (if I had them I'd call them 'the grapes of wrath')

I just wish I could gift this man self-awareness.

 

[DotCommunist]

it's that no one seems to mind

except everyone ever whose complained about 140 character cunts like you with your 'organic book fair I am in you' bullshit

 

[DotCommunist]

'Salt mines, I am in you'

'Lime pit I am in you'

In twisted pose bloated with pain no man can understand #leonardcohen

People have been signalling the end of nuanced reflective thought and the downfall of mankind since Aristotle ffs

1. 1. Laurie Penny ‏@PennyRed 5 Apr
      It's worth reminding that not only is @OwenJones84 doing Labour's work for them, he's doing it ON HIS OWN, with no team behind him. #hero
   1. Owen Jones ‏@OwenJones84 5 Apr
      @PennyRed Ah come off it. You're a hero. But I genuinely feel more optimistic than ever - reckon we can win this with enough determination x
   
   Laurie Penny ‏@PennyRed 5 Apr
   @OwenJones84 *hug* do you really think so?
2. 1. - ∷ = ∴ -∵ ∷ ∴ ‏@thmsbsh 5 Apr
      @PennyRed @OwenJones84 you guys are BOTH heroes to us all xxx

Fucking Hell.

The dangerous thing is the guy responding. They might just be taking the piss between themselves a wee bit for all we know, but the fans don't see it like that. That's real hero-worship right there and it's dangerous.

[equationgirl]

I suspect going to a private school would be a good place to start.

Not for the likes of you y'know equationgirl.

Certainly not, not with my state school education

 

[Delroy Booth]

fuck off and chill out

I'm definitely going to drop dead of a massive heart attack before I'm 40 whilst ranting about Laurie Penny.

My last words will be "This is why we cant' have nice things - like a revolution" then I'll clutch my chest and fall over into a table full of moet and cutters choice

Gutted.

 

[treelover]

I have spoken to a variety of people of all ages/backgrounds, to a man and woman they think Owen Jones is great and an asset to the left, make of that what you will..

hats replace having an actual personality. i've been fooling people for years that way.

 

[frogwoman]

Does she drink tea and smoke roll-ups?

In the pub on Saturday night there was a bloke about 40 with a full beard and a strand of turquoise in his hair. Some people may think it makes him interesting.

i bet he has a large selection of hats for all occasions.
