    Don't lie. I bet you are Tweeting like a mad.

    No tweets from me, I don't have anything interesting to say :(

    A friend of mine called a wrestler "bitch tits" on Twitter, and he replied to him.

    I just don't get twitter, seems pretty pointless.

    People get to interact with celebrities. Seems fairly obvious to me...

    Has this really gone above all your AH heads?

    I really don't know why I bother.

    This place is going to end up like SIPTU.

    Was reading a Re-Tweet from John Hartson (footballer) who was sent this, this morning.

    "I hear the guys in the morgue have had you're m8 hanging from a meat hook using him as a human punchbag #hopeso"

    Same guy also sent a message to Robbie Savage who, by the fact he hasn't said anything this morning, may not have seen it yet

    "you're mate will be getting his insides sucked out of his arse about now by the morgue monsters #stiffasaboard #blue"

    It appears to be in reference to Gary Speed, but regardless of who its about, it's a pretty sick thing to think/say. Do you log on to twitter to send abuse to anyone let alone a celebrity you don't know?
    Sick ***** need to be put down

    A lot of people I know don't follow celebrities, they just use it to post what they're doing constantly, even though they have about 5 followers (is that what they're called?).

    I dunno, just not for me I guess.

    I'm much too busy spamming on twitter to be interested in celebs.

    Last Friday Brian O'Driscoll posted a tweet saying how wondeful Mary Byrne was & I replied is that because you look like her

    I felt bad the next morning and deleted it.

    I hope the BBC don't sack Jeremy Clarkson. Imagine how much he'd go on about it. It'd be like hurling wanker fuel into a prick engine.


    Trending on Twitter ATM

    I see your Jeremy Clarkson and I raise you one Peter Collins.

    Peter knows when to fold.

    Is Hitler on it? He's famous and I reckon he deserves a bit of abuse.

    When I joined twitter 2 years ago I decided to follow Jordan, I guess I wanted to see what ****e z listers tweet. I left my account for 6 months and then got back into using it. I then noticed Jordan had tweeted that she just had a nice big yummy lunch in the Ivy and is worried about the weight she may gain from it. I replied to her and her followers and said "Who gives a flying ****". I then stopped following her and realised why do people tweet some inane ****e like Jordan had. Who cares what they ate and where they ate it.
    Naturally I felt good after my tweet.

    I've told little Leo Varadkar to take a holiday. Suggested Tehran, then a weekend in Cairo. It's not all bad. #muppet

    I was gonna sign up to abuse Jeremy clarkson but I used Facebook instead
    He doesn't have a wall on his FC page so a wall of abuse is out of the question .

    Nope. I don't believe in following or viewing celebrity twitter pages, as I disagree with recognising so-called "fame" as something worthy of appreciation.
    Some who are hooked on any form of attention,famous for all the wrong reasons and we have them in our face enough as it is .
    Absolutely disgusting trolling through, completely unwarranted. As pointed out, someone obviously enjoys getting notoriety out of this while really they should be ignored by the person abused and the rest of society.
    Katherine Jenkins was another celeb who was getting constant abuse by some Twitter exposed as an Opera fan who took exception that Jenkins wasn't a 'Purist' Opera singer and the abuser enjoyed all the attention given to her .

    Charlie Brooker is great for winding up trolls. He retweets what they say to him, but takes their names out of it. It drives them mental for some reason. And his replies to them are also pretty genius.

    Anyone that follows celebs just to abuse them is sad. If you don't like them ignore them.

    Brooker is one of my favourites - He was brilliant last night sticking the boot into Clarkson

    It's a pity Clarkson never said '' shoot all the Bankers '' instead of the striking for pensions people and he would have got a million thumbs up on twitter but no , opening his gob on live tv to unsuspecting audience of millions to have a cheap jibe at the strikers was so easy and his so called '' joke '' wasn't even funny at all .

    I can't stand that twitter abuse ****. Keyboard warriors.

    I remember following Team ON UK and one of their athletes was getting accused of being on steroids. It was funny cause the guy doing it obliviously didn't have a clue about steroids and was "trying to protect the kids".
