Berry, whose main claim to fame is that he has sired a Sugababe (the fit one), thinks (or as he would have it 'think's') he is pretty cool. That's why he posts things about wearing skinny jeans:
He ain't very literate though, as 'Thing's I'm learning' tells anyone with a basic grasp of written English. I wasn't in a great mood when I read this, so I decided to reply to him with a little bit of advice delivered in a style he would be familiar with:
I then unfollowed him, but wondered a while later if he might have heeded my lesson. Now I'm not saying I'm Lynne Truss, but I appear to have done some good. Berry's next (insightful as ever) Tweet (and we'll ignore the fact that #6 follows #34) is below:
So presumably I got a DM thanking me for my friendly and helpful advice, which saved Berry from the embarrassment of any further illiteracy in front of his 5,600 followers (11 of whom he has deigned to follow - all but one being fellow XFM DJs. The exception is a tidy young woman)? Not a chance.
And people think most of the celebrities on Twitter are self-indulgent and egotistical. Not a bit of it.
For the record, you're welcome, Dave Berry.
How much do you want to bet he Googles himself?
