Created by the brains behind The Richard Madeley Appreciation Society, it's what the internet was made for, namely very irreverent free-to-air comedy.
The site has clearly been around for a while (Since July 2007 according to the archive), yet is still regularly updated with tales including a recent one of arm wrestling Gordon Ramsay for blind orphans (in aid of, not as a prize) in a trendy London bistro on New Year's Eve.
The Twitter feed is not just a feed of meaty headlines from the site, in fact it doesn't even feed posts from the site as tweets (Richard, I can show you how to do this). Instead it offers some lovely insights into the homelife of one of Britain's best-loved couples.
Judy just caught one of my toenail clippings in her eye. Felled her like she'd been shot. Luckily, only a glancing blow. Flesh wound.
As well as slightly more insights into the workings of the mind of one half of one of Britain's best loved couples.
There's nothing better than a bag of walnuts and Top Gear.
Except obviously it's not. Why not, you say? Richard Madeley is unpredictable and egotistical enough to have his own website, call it The Richard Madeley Appreciation Society and tweet about his innermost thoughts. To be fair, some of them aren't far removed from the real twitterings of Jonathan Ross in particular.
A look at the 'Richard and Judy's Nut Club' sidebar on the site throws up a fair bit of doubt, as does the superb profile:
An acknowledged expert on every subject, Richard was the host of the UK’s most popular tea-time talk show but can now be found propelling satellite TV into a new era with his show on 'Watch'. His hobbies include skiing, water sports, breaking endurance records, and creating world-shattering inventions in his garden shed.
His dislikes are many and include squirrels, tap dancers, turnips, rosy cheeked farmers, hostage situations, El Greco, Bulgaria, Tony Robinson, ear wax, the word ‘humungous’, Tetley tea bags, North Korea, Eric Clapton, suffragettes, mimosa, beard trimmers, duck tape, manilla envelopes, and 60s pop sensation Lulu.
He lives in London with his wife Judy.
It shows what a good tool Twitter can be for promoting a blog. I've now subscribed to 'All the Richard without the Judy' and look forward to many hours of entertainment.
God bless you. You get it. Not many do. But you did. I had thought about abandoning Twitter. I get so tired of all the social networking and advertising I see on there. I wondered if my twits were good or dad. Now I think I feel justified in being myself. I'll carry on being the biggest twit on twitter.
ReplyDeletePS. Yes. Could you show me how to do that? I'd be extremely grateful. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteMr Madeley, delighted to have helped you find your Twittering self. Keep up the excellent work.

Drop me a line if you have any trouble with it.
