There's an article in today's Daily Mail about Jonathan Ross' use of Twitter (he's on there as @wossy). Perhaps one of the highest profile additions to the Twuittersphere, Jonathan Ross' posts have angered the Mail as he's still swearing and all that. Ooohhh.
Shameless Jonathan Ross still joking about Andrew Sachs messages
The 6million-a-year presenter is on holiday with his family in Florida while he serves a three-month suspension without pay. But he is keeping his fans updated by writing an internet blog - and showing a startling lack of humility about the debacle.
In one post on the Twitter website he used an expletive to describe BBC executives when discussing the concept of a film about his life, also apparently insulting one of Britain's leading character actors in the process. He wrote: 'I bet the f***ers would get Timothy Spall to play me.'
In another he made light of the obscene messages he and Russell Brand left on Sachs's answering machine on Brand's Radio 2 show, in which the pair claimed Brand had slept with the Fawlty Towers actor's granddaughter Georgina Baillie. Ross joked: 'I am very polite in person. I'm just not great with answering machines.'
Oh honestly. While I agree that the whole answerphone episode was offensive... do you have to have absolutely no sense of humour to work at the Daily Mail??
Timothy Spall would find that comment funny I expect. I did.
And the man is a comedian. Trying to resurrect a dying career. You have to laugh at the thing that killed your career if you ever plan to recover.
I like Jonathan Ross' Twitter presence. He is one of the few people on there who say what they think without overly editing.

Does that mean Neville is a DM reader?
