@SwanRiverPress Even irony usage is dulling and it‰Ûªs the equivalent in tweet form of that first chapter a book could lose and be all the better for it. Just bloody start at the meat, sod the ponce pastry.

@SwanRiverPress Irony works on Twitter if we know the person well-enough in real life to know that it‰Ûªs irony/a thorough extraction of the urine. While Twitter is like our own personal pub, the rhetoric of the snug rarely works on here.

Through negotiations of ale and silver I persuaded him to teach me the grasping of the crow‰Ûªs foot and the lifting by its black wings through the aether to the place of seeing. It is magic worth its price. – Dr. Bron, 1638

@sarahkmarr @SwanRiverPress Once, at 14, I rang the Deputy Headmaster of my comprehensive at 1am and shouted: ‰ÛÏHEY-HO POTATOES!‰Û for no real reason other than I disliked him and thought denying him some sleep was a fair-do. I often feel my tweets should end: ‰Û÷Hey-ho potatoes!‰Ûª

@SwanRiverPress @accordingtoJonD @sarahkmarr It is half tepid irony, half the parasite laziness of inhabiting forms that lurch around like old school zombies till they are either put out of our misery or enter Brewers.

@sarahkmarr @SwanRiverPress @accordingtoJonD Also, for the first who do it is also naff plagiarism akin to Denis Leary nicking Bill Hicks‰Ûª smoking routine/how 80% of writers on place ape Sinclair/Macfarlane.
