Depends on the car, I guess.

Sucky schnozzle makes me think of the Teletubby Hoover.

Point and laugh.

And tow it to the nearest garage unless the car hasn't run, if I've been informed correctly.

(apparently about 50% of the work of the Bristol police garage was fixing diesel cars mistakenly filled with petrol.)

I'm kind of assuming that the AA vans just have a giant Teletubby Hoover in the back, and suck all the wrong fuel out. Either that or a big crane so they can tip the car over and drain it all out.

I think this is definitely correct.

Sucky Schnozzbear is probably in the Sesame Street XXX parody, which presumably exists.

I have just learned that said bear is just "Fozzie Bear" in Sesame Street, and not "Fuzzy Schnozzbear" which is what I always thought he was.

Oh yeah. Today I learned that Fozzie Bear is just a Muppet and isn't part of the So Sesame Crew.

What's the deal with the amount of Twitter bots I'm seeing lately? I've had loads of accounts with pictures of girls saying "I just want sex" in their bio.

Who creates these? Are they relying on people thinking that they're real and will click on their links?

It makes sense to do it like that. Much like those terribly written 401 letters. Make it as fake and stupid as you can, and you are only going to get the really ignorant responding, increasing the efficiency of it.

If they weren't bots, they would be marking themselves as 'seeking friends'. Or is that just OKCupid?

I get very confused with people that notice that twitter bots exist. Sinister Agent in particular gets in a frothing rage about spambots - but with Twitter unless you follow them you'll never see anything they write so....

I don't see anything they write so they don't bother me a massive amount. I do get a lot of favourites and retweets from them though, but that makes me look popular so I'm cool with that.

Pinned tweets, too. People do that? They realise that nobody that uses a twitter client that isn't the actual website will ever see it, right? And clearly only crazy people who like adverts and promoted tweets use the twitter website.

Huh? If you visit someone's profile on the Twitter app it will be the first tweet you see.

Does anyone else follow @suekichiii on twitter?

If you don't, you should. It's all in Japanese but whoever is behind it is a genius. They take pictures of toys that tell funny stories mainly based around Freddie Mercury and Bruce Lee.

It's brilliant. Look out for the karaoke session featuring Michael Jackson!

If you don't understand Japanese, it may be for the best - There are some bad puns in there.

Hello.

I need a list of twitter names that used a specific hashtag. Before I set someone off doing it by hand, is there a quicker way?

Author:  Grim... [ Tue May 30, 2017 14:29 ]
Post subject:  Re: Twitter

If you've got Chrome you could try this:

Visit
Code:
https://twitter.com/search?l=&q=%23[YOUR HASHTAG HERE]&src=typd&lang=en-gb


Press F12, and make sure 'console' is chosen from the tabs at the top. Copy and paste this into the console and press enter:
Code:
var foo = ''; $(".username").each(function() { foo += $(this).text() + "," }); foo;

Copy and paste the results.

Note this will only get you what's on the screen, so scroll down until you've got everything you want.

The whole "Your friend liked this!" thing on twitter can be interesting, and I've found some interesting accounts to follow and some cool links and pics. I've also found that one of my old school friends likes transexual adult-baby porn, which was a bit of a shock.
