I followed Jonathan Ross (@Wossy) on Twitter for roughly a day. But, as detailed in my tweet on the subject, I decided earlier today that I couldn’t stomach any more of his celebrity “Twonanism” and have now unfollowed him.

“Twonanism”? (aka micro-tugging).

His Twitter stream can be paraphrased as “me and Russell (Brand) this”, “me and Ricky (Gervais) that”, “me and David (Bowie) the other”. Celebrity insights should be interesting. These aren’t. Jonathan Ross should be funny like he is (was) on the radio. These Tweets aren’t. For my money he’s getting the Twitter value equation all wrong. It’s ok to do a bit of self-promotion as long as it’s balanced with content that’s engaging, useful, relevant to your followers.

I wondered at the time whether I’d managed to create a completely original “Tw” word and it appears that I have. A Google search on twonanism returned no standard web pages containing the term, my search did not match any documents. Hopefully that will change when this blog post gets indexed.

UPDATE : Google indexed the first ever use of “twonanism” within 15 minutes of this piece being posted.

Update (15th Jan 09) : twonanism added to twictionary.

The theory of Twonanism – http://bit.ly/2QzC2N

Opinion is divided on this one.

My eldest daughter is of an age where she thinks it’s not cool to be keen.

I keep telling her “It is, it is.”

Isn’t it?

We won the Best E-mail Creative award at the DADI’s last week for work done in promoting our Grolsch Coincidence campaign.

The Coincidence campaign was also commended in the FMCG category.

The motley crew shown above went down to Leeds and apparently monopolised the dance floor for much of the evening. As usual, Nick’s doing his “look at me, look at me” routine. Only Fraser is listening, however.

He’s at it again. At least he didn’t buy the shirt himself this time. This one was a gift from Scott, brought back from T in The Park.

In another break with tradition when it comes to Nick’s shirts, there may also be a grain of truth in this one. There is certainly a significant proportion of mums within the demographics of Facebook users.

I am forever pushing the style in the Blonde office to its limits, from electro 80’s hoodys to pink Pumps.

Next big thing chastity Locks…

Can be yours for ONLY £6.49 (key optional)

Gansta!

Not only has he got a whole category devoted to him, he’s now apparently buying T-shirts with the sole purpose of getting them featured on the blog. If it hadn’t been such a long time since our last post I’d have deliberately ignored this one.

Not sure what the whole Edward Bananahands thing is about either.

Mitra has to dress up as a villain for a forthcoming party, and was looking for suggestions. Nick reckoned that he’d go as Syndrome from The Incredibles because he wouldn’t have to make much effort.

The rest of us can’t quite see it…

Sigh (in a here we go again kind of way)….

He’s chicken….

He waffles….

Some say he’s actually quite shy.

He is….

….the Stig

Correction.

He is of course…The Nick!

This isn’t so much a shirt as a motto.

But whose motto?

Surely not.

It is.

It can’t be.

It is you know.

It’s the man who’s made this category his own.

He’s so vain.

Iiiiiiiit’s Nick!

If this shirt is true, and Nick has defiled the gene pool of Madagascar with his demon seed, it would help explain the large number of unique species to be found on the island.

Meanwhile this is the latest episode in one man’s quest to dominate this blog. Nick has featured rather heavily of late.

He’s so vain, he probably thinks this song blog is about him.

It isn’t, but I have put in place a new archive category just for posts about, or featuring, Nick.
