Twitterball 48: Pfft. Amateurs.

This week on my Twitter feed the Pope resigns, and like the rest of Twitter I respond with the precisely the amount of measured contemplation you'd expect. Lots of new theatre news this week as well.

Cakeologist Spot: @JohnWhaiteBakes in ASDA. Nice to know you can build the Coliseum on a budget.

Not that I'm not interested but that new submissions policy at the Bush really found some fresh people with no industry contacts, didn't it?
3:38 PM - 6 Feb 13

Honestly, the wind's being such a drama queen right now. "Ooh, hark at me, I can howl like a good'un!"

The Monopoly vote was done over the internet. OF COURSE the cat won.
6:04 PM - 6 Feb 13

In among the rest of the Globe casting, nobody noticed that Geoffrey from the Fresh Prince will be playing King Lear? OK.
11:09 AM - 7 Feb 13

@MJPockle @Weez Not so much surprise that he's doing it, more that nobody seems to have mentioned it.
11:14 AM - 7 Feb 13

@MJPockle @Weez Although I can understand how the Pirate Jessie news would paralyse people in horror.
11:14 AM - 7 Feb 13

Meanwhile at the Old Vic, Naomi Frederick and Nick Hendrix will be in The Winslow Boy.
11:15 AM - 7 Feb 13

Also, once Propeller goes on sale we'll have an all-female and all-male Shrew this summer. Should start some interesting conversations.

Potter Spot: Alfie Enoch at Wyndhams.

Funnily enough Goold was the first person I guessed for the Almeida job (long association) & quickly dismissed as having bigger fish to fry.

My iPod likes its Bond themes this morning. Moonraker immediately followed by Nobody Does it Better.

Man on train lecturing female friend on the difference between Shakespeare's tragedies & problem plays...
11:13 AM - 9 Feb 13

...apparently it's something to do with how many syllables are in the character names. Some murders are justified, right?
11:14 AM - 9 Feb 13

@Elsiebrewster as far as I could make out, if he personally can't remember the names of the leads, then it's officially a Problem Play.
12:01 PM - 9 Feb 13

@Elsiebrewster he could remember who the leads are in Romeo & Juliet FOR SOME REASON.
12:02 PM - 9 Feb 13

Stratford-upon-Avon twice in as many weeks, ridiculous. BRECHT, though!

Emperor And Galileo. Why yes, I HAVE been waiting ages to do that gag. #intervaltweets

<3 the old man sitting in the Insult Chair, grinning as he gets called every Shakespearean insult in the book.

Train's been treated to a loud discussion of horse racing the entire journey. It's as FASCIFUCKINATING as it sounds.
6:56 PM - 9 Feb 13

Stop Press: They're now onto horse lasagne. Surprised it took them so long to be honest.
7:00 PM - 9 Feb 13

It's the casual racism now. Come on, you knew there was going to be a crossover of interests there.
7:09 PM - 9 Feb 13

@Weez can't believe you only just got into Cabin Pressure. It's mainly Roger Allam being pedantic, i.e. Twitter's favourite things, together
6:10 PM - 10 Feb 13

Cigarette smoke is blue. That's what ALL BOOKS say, so it must be true, right?
7:18 PM - 10 Feb 13

I now know the Welsh for "of course" is "of courrrse."

You wait all your life for the top job, then it turns out it's too much faff. Take note, Prince Charles. #poperesigns

I don't care who the next #pope is, as long as he calls himself Pope Suburban I. It's well overdue.

Aw, pensioner couple kissing on bus. No tongues.

Meanwhile, a young couple were INORDINATELY IMPRESSED to spot Josh Widdicombe walk down Charing Cross Road.
6:57 PM - 12 Feb 13

Proper stopped them in their tracks. Pfft. Amateurs. I've spotted multiple Doctor Whos before and not broken a sweat.
