Steve's Twitter

[Extras]

hmm, I know he had that "Hello Ladies" account, but now he has moved to a more personal twitter account.

Not sure how often he will use it (most likely not as often as Ricky does), so if this thread should be merged with another one, go for it.

These are his latest tweets.

You may wake up soon and find you're following @stephenmerchant. Don't be alarmed, it's still me. I'm switching over to a personal account

Welcome old pals, hello new friends. 1st tweet from @StephenMerchant. LET'S MAKE IT A CLASSIC! (pause) Er...so...my hot water's back on...

He didn't move to another account. He just changed his twitter name.

Glad he's sticking with twitter. I'm sure it'll be less stressful following him than Ricky.

[FFS!]

Not sure why, but he did have to set up a separate one (as the old one is still there but without any tweets) and his followers were all added to the new one automatically. It now has a verified tick so I think that may have had something to do with it.

I think his management might have had to create a new account with his real name so no mentals could take it and pretend to be him. Then they just switched the helloladies name with the real name. All his tweets from the helloladies account is still there as well as all.

I know way too much about this shit.

He hasn't updated since. Guess he's an occasional twitterer

He's been using it more frequently

@StephenMerchant
Lot of people ask why I don't follow @rickygervais. Cos I see the man every week. It's the same reason I don't follow my parole officer.

@TJTastyKake "will you release Hello Ladies on DVD in US?” I'd like to do more live shows in US before I do that. Gotta find the time though

For some reason that really got me, brilliant. Probably 'cause it's like a Dave Chapelle joke by the whitest, straightest comedian around.

Hahahahaa, yeah, that's great. Steve trying to act "street comedian".

I love that he doesn't follow Ricky, too. Seems such a paper-thin excuse not to. I know it's probably not because Ricky's an annoying twat on twitter, but I like to think it is.

I like that Steve is using Twitter to be funny rather than to be a knob.

Agreed. He's also been more active since switching over to his personal account. :-)

“@ChristopherTrun: I have picture of u on my wall to remind me that no matter how you look you can be successful" If I can help one person..

[Barrylad]

I feel like Steve and Twitter are a perfect fit. Hope he tweets more.

I'm 37 and I bought beetroot for the first time ever on Saturday. What a weekend that was.

[Steven]

He Tweeted me back, but cropped my Tweet so it makes me seem like I'm whining a bit.

"@steveyknight: Why does the US get it before the UK?" Because US pays for it to get made. Those animators don't do it just for love

My original Tweet which sounds a bit more playful was:

@StephenMerchant Why does the US get it before the UK? Do you hate us? :(

Still pretty happy that he Tweeted me back though :D
