Do any of you guys/girls have a Twitter account? Was hoping I could get the video trending but I really don't have the urge to join Twitter as it looks dreadful from what I've seen. ”

Just join up to post your mashup. Tweet it to Nicky and maybe some of the fan accounts that name themselves after him (find that a bit odd, but there you go). I'm sure the more rabid of his fans keep an almost permanent eye on his timeline so some of them might pick up on it retweet it. I hardly ever tweet unless I'm being snarky and don't have many followers - I mostly just use it to keep an eye on a few areas of interest and find interesting links/articles etc.

Looks like Nicky is back in Scotland today as Sam tweeted that he was hanging out at his house. Sam's up there recording apparently (funny that Sam's recording up there, and Nicky is recording down here). So I guess it is just a flying visit home as, of course, he has his gig with Luke on Saturday. Hopefully that means more time recording the album.

I do but rarely use it. How do you get something trending? #ignoramus

I saw that. Nice pics of Sam chez McDonald. Strange though...

I JUST DID THIS.

Though it sounds a bit abrupt in tweet form. Like I'm saying 'Hey I prefer Nick to you but please get him to cover WIsh You Were Here by Pink Floyd. Oh yeah, it would work well for you too, so you could do a duet, but really I'm mostly wanting Nick to do it'

You should totally back me up though. We've been through too much for you to let me down now (I've learnt some passive-aggresive moves from those tweenies)

It's the hashtags that trend on twitter, I believe. So if enough people hashtag something like #NICKYSALBUM it appears in the little trend chart on the left. Then you can click on it and it will bring up all the tweets with that hashtag. Very hard to deliberately get something trending unless you have hundreds of thousands of followers like Nicky does.

Strange? You mean Sam being up there or Nicky going back up?

That's awesome! I really hope he sees it, sorry, NOTICES YOU (sorry sorry sorry, I couldn't resist, I've learned a bit from those tweenies myself )

Ahh, I'd love to back you up but despite acting like a total dick on here I'm actually insanely shy in real life, and twitter's too much like real life; just the thought of tweeting someone like that makes me want to go and hide in a cupboard for a few months I know it's pathetic, i'm sorry!

So THAT'S why you never truly answered my question on whether you had Twitter or not!

YOU AND ME = OVER.

Tsk! You could favourite it. Or retweet it. OR SOMETHING.

Christ, I'm pouring my dignity down the drain here and you're pulling out the shy card!

Anyway, I tagged Nicky in it too, so hopefully one of them will see it amongst all the omgilysm noise.

At the time I was just a bit confused

I often get like that about tweeting people, especially anyone of note; then I remember that they are just people, like me and you. Nothing to worry about (unless they're a total *insert most vulgar profanity known to man here* like Russell Brand).

Yeah see, it's your fault I tweeted them in the first place. Your fault. Just you think on that.

Anyway, how AMAZING would it be if they actually did it? It would work perfectly. They'd release it as a single. It'd go straight to Number 1. The memory of Ed Sheeran's insipid version at the Olympics closing ceremony would be erased. Nicky and Luke will conquer the world. Pink Floyd will reform to 3/4 capacity and release an underwhelming attempt to recapture former glories (called Bright Side Of The Sun, The Privet Hedge or Saucerful of Biscuits) and a cultural revolution will commence while I sit here forgotten and alone growing increasingly bitter at my keyboard. Yup, AMAZING.

It does seem a bit weird Maybe it's to do with whoever's producing her?

Anyway, if you're shy about tweeting people of note, consider the fact that I awkwardly tried for a follow the other day. Shame is such a hindrance.

I'm verging on content. A reply saying 'Ohh that would be GREAT OMGILYSMLUKE DO IT' would make me happy.
