WEB-O-SPHERE DIGITAL DESPATCHES FOR THE TECHNOPHOBIC

Stop the search we’ve found her. List.co.uk user Hollie confirmed this month that, ‘I love one direction I'm there [sic] number 1 fan’. So, yeah. All you other Directioners can stop pretending. It’s Hollie’s world, we just live in it. In non-1D news, a very

angry Anita posted a comment on our review of Craig Campbell’s Thrilling Mic Hunt (see what he did there?). ‘What a twt of a man!’ she begins, using an abbreviation we can only assume means ‘twit’. ‘It turns out the “man” could not take a joke himself (my friend only mentioned he looked like her much loved Dave Grohl and he walked off stage, threatening not to return until we left!!!!) we then had no option to leave without the police being called!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ It’s a dance as old as time the aggrieved heckler who finds they inhabit a universe that doesn’t appreciate their irrelevant contributions. Remember folks: unless you’re specifically invited, comedy is not a team sport.

Equally enraged was Panama Silver, who had dug out a five-

year-old article on Martin Kihn’s A$$HOLE, How I Got Rich and Happy by Not Giving a $!@* About Anyone! to complain that ‘the ending . . . was awful. still you never told how you got rich or happy. btw, in the book you are not being an asshole you are just being a dumb jerk.’ Anyone who can tell us the difference between an asshole and a dumb jerk should send a postcard. Or just shout at the internet. We’ll get wind of it. Somehow.

THE STARVATION AVOCATIONS Re: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (●●●●●) Ah! You had me sold with the ‘tenebrous thrills’. Thank you for your lambent explication of the delights that await those of us across the Pond. I am always grateful to discover a new world in cinema, and a new word that neither I nor Microsoft recognise. I shall await this cinematic moment with great (though, I hope, not untoward) expectations. Comment posted by Hana Abraham
