Old Twitter used to be like a fabulous party, filled with fascinating people from all over the world having conversations you could float around to, learn something, laugh, nod your head in agreement or engage in disagreement (and learn something in the discourse), chime in, make new acquaintances. I miss that. The first time I read DougJBalloon I had to double check that it was parody as he was so spot on - with a twist. Thanks for the interview.

YASS! Thank you for this. Not only is that account fun, it's nice to hear about the man behind the legend. It's also a good pick me up to the doom and gloom we have to deal with daily.

Always brilliant. When I can see words as a vintage Monty Python skit it’s pure joy.

"These days I’m a little more worried about the horseshoe left people."

I'm worried about them too, Mr Balloon.

Thank you for this; we don't see enough lighthearted content in any publication these days (understandably so).
