  • Calvin Harris Rants on Twitter

    I follow a few celebs on twitter – mainly because i like their music or whatever it is they do. Calvin Harris is one of those people, and tonight he’s really let rip at itv for making him do stupid things for TV. It involved trying (and failing) to open a jar of jam – and heres what he had to say about it

    “ITS NOT THE EMBARRASSMENT OF NOT OPENING THE JAM, I HAVE COME TO TERMS WITH MY LACK OF UPPER BODY STRENGTH”

    “ITS THE OVERWHELMING SADNESS I FEEL THAT SOMEBODY WHO MAKES TV THINKS THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE AND ENTERTAINING FEATURE”

    “ITS NOT. ITS SHITE. AND I WOULD LIKE TO PUBLICLY CALL FOR THE PEOPLE RESONSIBLE FOE THE ‘CAN YOU OPEN MY JAM? FEATURE TO PUBLICLY APOLOGISE”

    “NOT TO ME, BUT TO ANY POTENTIAL VIEWER, FOR POTENTIALLY EXPOSING THEM TO THE WORST SHIT IMAGINEABLE ON TELEVISION. HEADS SHOULD ROLL”

    Random – i know. But this seems to of caused a stir with people who follow him;

    “Yeah a lot of people seem to have missed the point. I hate fucking twitter. I met Q-Tip. THERE IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR?!”

    “RT @clarabelle2009 @calvinharris piss off then close ur account u moany diva!if u cant be bothered with why shud we both with u + ur ‘music’”

    “See that’s the sort of thing I’m talking about. I DON’T EXPECT YOU TO LIKE MY MUSIC! ITS A MATTER OF TASTE! Don’t like it? PLEASE GO AWAY!”

    Where you and i might rant about something on tv, or rant about something that has pissed us off – people like mr harris are in the public spotlight and anything they say can and will be used against them.

    High profile people can easily slip up – just look at the Mi6 agent that put information and photos of him and his family on facebook. Not the brightest move, eh!

    EDIT More upset fans! @calvinharris why u dont u go away ur a twat on twitter! Loser. – Oh dear :/

    EDIT Just checked his account again, and he’s lost 10 followers in 2 minutes!

    LAST EDIT He’s actually released a video called Jam TV – maybe its a way of him trying to make light of the situation?

  • Facebook Transport error (#1001)

    Now i dont think ive ever got an error on facebook – i used to get them all the time on myspace!

    Heres the error;

    Transport error (#1001) while retrieving data from endpoint `/ajax/addfriend.php’: A network error occurred. Check that you are connected to the internet.

    Not sure why i got it, but its happened twice in the space of 10 mins – anyone else had the problem?

  • FSS – Facebook Status Syndrome

    So i was reading some stuff that was sent to me via twitter, and i was browsing the BBspot website when i saw an article labelled “Doctors Notice Increase in Facebook Status Syndrome”

    They claim that people are starting to become obsessed with changing their status to refelct their every move. And are starting to “verbalize every move they make”

    “It’s a continuation from the online world into reality, and it can be debilitating as well as quite annoying.”
    Many times FSS goes unnoticed, because most victims have no social interaction outside Facebook or other online social networks.  It’s only when these people journey out in public, when it becomes noticeable”

    Its kinda like that little britain sketch with George and Sandra – “Putting a bit of beef on the old fork, putting the fork to my little-britian-usa__595977amouth, short pause while i chew.”

    It makes me wonder though, if people are getting this bug because of facebook, then what the hell is going to happen to us twitter fans? As the whole point of twitter is to document your every move in 140 characters or less.

    We’ll soon all be walking around speaking everything we do, “just opening the door, just walking through the door, just shutting the door” or even worse we’ll be strapped up with sensors and shit and literally our every move will be recorded automatically on a website. I can actually see that happening with twitter soon to be honest as i have already seen a bakers in london that has an automatic twitter updater when something comes out the oven and a guy who had his chair sense when he farted and updated his twitter status accordingly.

    Who knows where it will all end up!

  • Oh Crap, My Parents Joined Facebook!

    Well actually my mum has been on there a while, as has my step dad – but that’s beside the point. Check out this great website that was pointed out to me today by Rob (_boo) on twitter.

    Facebook and similar social networking sites have traditionally been used by teenagers and tech-wise people all over the world since they began. Unfortunately for some, facebook is now starting to appeal to literally everyone – including many peoples parents.

    Before the time when parents viewed such internet-garbage, people were able to post whatever they wanted, how drunk they were the night before, who they are going out with and basically anything that went on in their life. Now suddenly these people’s parents can view this stuff, and can post embarrassing comments on their profiles for all their “friends” to see.

    It doesnt really apply to me, as my life is what it is and i dont really have any secrets from anyone. I can see it being a problem for many though – and all the hilarious situations that are occurring are being documented over on MyParentsJoinedFacebook.com
