What did I do? Where did I go wrong? Ohh, I just glanced up at some of the comments above - technical glitch you say - does that mean we can sort this out? I really hope so, your twittering is just about the best twittering there is to be had. Honest. http://twitter.com/Mr_Pym Thank you.

Or is that also a vague suggestion? I do hope so as I'm not sure how to find it, or perhaps I'm there already and have failed to notice. Is it compulsory to go to hell if you don’t get it?

At least I think that's why, I am pretty sure I didn't offend you in any way and I've seen that you dealt with lots of others. So wouldyou please please please unblock me? I'm http://twitter.com/authenticdasein, and I miss the funny things you send, and getting you via RSS feed is just not the same. thank you, from one authentic dasein to another... Dear Mr Fry,

However, here seems to be the place one can leave posts which the esteemed Mr.F. may read. I have been a follower for many years, through Fry & Laurie, Blackadder, and of course the wonderful Q.I. I recently caught a bit of a programme ( Room 101 I think) where Stephen was expounding brilliantly and deploring the way the teenagers of today talk - and I was, like, hey he's so right, and the habit of using a rising inflection to turn every statement into a question? One little word game I like to play is to invent opposites of words which should, but don't, exist. For example, would you call a really skilful person "ept", being the opposite of "inept"? If you are feeling really contented are you "gruntled"? If you're not feeling quite so perky are you merely "chip" instead of "chipper"? Or at the other end of the scale, could you be "chippest"? Mr Fry, if you would like to hear more of these, I am afraid you will have to follow me on Twitter! (and does that denote a person who is more of a twit than another?) And to impress me even further with your erudity and encyclopaedic knowledge, have you worked out my username? I joined Twitter but I’m afraid still don’t quite get it.

If you are mystified by a reference, it’s best not immediately to post a “WTF?” “Please explain” tweet...</blockquote> I've been working on something to help with this - something that explains your references for you, so you don't have to try and squeeze the full context in each and every tweet. It's at http://twitterglossary.appspot.com - any feedback on the idea would be much appreciated! Stephen,
