So, many of you who followed me on Twitter (I think there was about 3,300 of you)now know that I have twittered my last twit, I mean tweet, and getting back to filling my days with doing what I’m paid for; writing comedy scripts for television.
I was disappointed to see some tweeters have an almost angry reaction to my departure, “how could you do this to us?”, “don’t you feel you owe us a better explanation?”, “you’re a cunt” (I quite enjoyed the last one). Of course the flippant (and egotistical) side of me would have quoted my own line from Janey Yorke at the bull fight in series 2 of Benidorm, “it’s a free show, what are you gonna do? Ask for your money back?”.
I hope some enjoyed the “free show” aspect of me being on Twitter. More importantly some of the tweople with whom I interacted with on an almost daily (for some, hourly) basis hopefully enjoyed the ‘craic’ as much as I did.
I’ve never been one to do things by half and with my “all or nothing” attitude Twitter started to take up far too much of my time. I had tried having a break from twitter but basically if my account was there I would always go back, then I’d piss away half the day writing random thoughts and posting pics of even more random people I’d seen in the street. So for the same reason I don’t have cakes in my fridge, I no longer have a Twitter account (not that you were all making me fat of course but certainly lazy).
It was great fun but all good things must come to an end. I don’t think I’ll be coming back to Twitter but I do want to keep in touch and I’ll be doing that with making these blog updates much more regular. Certainly while I am in Spain I hope to treat this more like a diary; I really hope you’ll join me!
So for now, thanks for all your support and get out there and enjoy this sun! (Unless of course you are in Scotland as my firend Simon has just texted me to say it’s raining there!).
Remember Tweeters, as in the words of Al Martino, “This is just adios and not goodbye!”.
