Twitaceous Era 4: Scottish king shag list

This week on my Twitter feed, more dark mutterings about crashing theatre websites, because we all know that's what gets the followers flooding in.

This church's "DEATH COULD NOT HOLD HIM IN HIS GRAVE!!!" poster is making me think less "Easter," more "vampire apocalypse."

Been watching Bates Motel. So far the maddest thing is there's a girl called Bradley, and NOBODY thinks that's weird.

Dick Twittington 47: "Ur nuuuuur!"

This week on my Twitter feed: A cat photo, because it's internet law that I post at least two a year.

At risk of self-parody but I don't fancy anyone in the Swan's summer ensemble and now I don't know what to think http://www.rsc.org.uk/whats-on/the-roaring-girl/cast.aspx

Dick Twittington 46: Moderately funny

This week on my Twitter feed, my internal calendar is all confused at going to Shakespeare's Globe in the winter.

Ray Cooney's still working? RAY COONEY'S STILL ALIVE?

"81-year-old directs farce he wrote decades ago" suggests just the kind of radical theatre I expect from the Menier http://shar.es/UYGjd

There is NO earthly reason I should have Madonna's "Dear Jessie" stuck in my head. And yet...

Dick Twittington 41: Fops on the tube

This week on my Twitter feed, bits of a theatre fall down, and programming at another one stops making sense.

Writing my American Psycho review; meanwhile the team at the next bank of desks is getting VERY excited about their new business cards.

@TootingGareth I wanted to do a #themorethingschange hashtag but the character limit was against me.

Dick Twittington 40: Turned on beyond endurance

This week is a non-stop parade of filth on my Twitter feed.

Catching up with Only Connect. Hywel naming mathematical terms is strangely arousing.

@bridgetorr I'm genuinely baffled by Twitter wetting its knickers over Kester and not noticing Hywel's existence.

Dick Twittington 39: Mexican vampires

This week on my Twitter feed included my birthday, but I kept quiet about that.

Well, I'm pretty sure there's nothing anyone on the internet will have Strongly Worded Opinions about today.

Jeez, Sean Foley's doing all right for himself lately isn't he? *other theatre directors are available*

Dick Twittington 27: Actual intent to cause harm

This week on my Twitter feed, theatre continues to be secretive, or not to happen at all.

Kilburn - nice to see one that doesn't look exactly the same as all the rest. http://twitpic.com/dd0dnu

Dick Twittington 25: HIT IT WITH A HAMMER!

This week work has shamelessly got in the way of my talking bollocks on the internet, so my Twitter feed has been on the quiet side.

Dick Twittington 19: The universe's plan for me

This week on my Twitter feed, the Globe is full of actors (and not just on stage) and I'm full of cake. Also, some woman is no longer full of a baby.

Just had to get a new Oyster card for the first time. Think the ticket office were shocked the old one had lasted so long.

Propeller are dealing with the weather by doing the interval entertainment outdoors.

Dick Twittington 18: #toplessmuddywrestling

This week on my Twitter feed it's my annual slightly longer trip to Stratford-upon-Avon. I usually spend the time there grumbling about how there's nothing to do between theatre trips. Have a guess what I do this time. Also it's quite warm out, did you notice?

N...N...NATURAL LIGHT? IN A THEATRE? *hisses*

Young businessman types at the next table are asking each other "how are you going to make History?"I thought the #apprentice was yesterday.
12:30 PM - 11 Jul 13

Also, there's a primary school party in the canteen. Who thinks "let's go on a school trip to an accountancy multinational?"

Dick Twittington 13: Less cryptic than you think

This week is pretty quiet on my Twitter feed because I've been busy moving house and interviewing for a job (which I got.)

I hope the "CARAVAN CARAVAN CARAVAN!" bit in next week's preview is an #apprentice version of Yellow Car.
11:28 PM - 5 Jun 13

On my way to Watford for an interview. For a temp job. The job's in Canary Wharf. #wtf #brokenbritain

Got the job. It's only until September but it keeps me out of mischief for a while.

Dick Twittington 4: Danny's hairy arms

This week on my Twitter feed was, like most people's Twitter feeds, dominated by Thatcher's death and the wildly varied responses to it. But I also found time to discuss the equally harrowing matter of the new series of The Voice. And my job search continues to be frustratingly fruitless...

Bruno Mars is an abomination. Not apropos anything, it just bears mentioning now and then.
10:05 AM - 3 Apr 13

When did "customer service" become a euphemism for glorified chugging?A job interview that wasn't a waste of time would be a nice change ta.

Twitterball 52: Pope Shamazing

This week on my Twitter feed I collect a couple more labyrinths on the Underground, watch the last-ever Being Human and make my prediction for the next Pope.

More disappointed audiences at the O2 last night as J*st*n Bi*b*r actually turns up.

Nothing wrong with a good sitcom. And it's got a Kitchen Sink #intervaltweets
