More lists here: http://twitter.pbworks.com/MinorCelebrities

Oh, thank you. That's my task for tomorrow evening then!

I follow ben goldacre,Stephen Fry, jonathan ross,David Mitchell,Rob Brydon,Charlie Brooker,Russell Brand,Alan Davies,Bill Bailey,chris o'dowd,The QI Elves,Eddie Izzard,Robert Webb

Stephen Fry (you're not allowed on twitter unless you follow him) Neil Gaiman (one of the gods of the internet, hence the #neilwebfail phenomenon where every site he links to instantly crashes under the weight of hormonal gothic teenagers charging over there) Ben Goldacre, Mitchell and Webb, Mitch Benn (musical comedy type)

Off to search for bill bailey!

Ick!!! I should imagine hers will be something like:

Belladonna: I now have two fists up my ass

Belladonna: I have a fist up my ass

I should perhaps point out that I am not following all those people, but it was just a list I found ?

Andi Peters is quite amusing @xxandip I think

Russell Brand tweets stream of consciousness madness but quite amusing

Eddie Izzard is the most boring sleb tweeter isn't he - maybe he doesn't write his own tweets.

Slebs I follow and enjoy are Chesney Hawkes ?, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Slash & Mrs Slash, and Kirstie Allsopp amongst others. I'm so highbrow ?

Suzi Perry and Jason bradbury from the gadget show both tweet, but it's mostly insincere fawny bollocks.

Adam Savage and Grant Imahara from Mytbusters also tweet, and tend to post pictures from the set, which is cool (well I think it is anyway ?)

Richard Wiseman (has been a guest psychologist type on BB) is another interesting guy to follow, but may not be thought of as all that famous

Danny wallace is quite funny/interesting, as is Dave gorman.

And Maggie Philbin.

You can often find new and interesting people, by seeing who the people you find interesting are following.

Some of the people Mitch Benn is following include:

Is this the real her? http://twitter.com/KirstieMAllsopp

Gail Porter is there and seems sweet if a little... car crash.

Has anyone had a celeb reply? I 've had one but have only sent a message to a couple I think (not entirely sure how it all works ?) H has quite a few followers as he shares a name with a bit of a minor celeb (including a follower who is a celeb in the same field!)

Yep that's her. She, Toby Young and India Knight are always having kleeky conversations on Twitter. She posted recently about trying not to look on the Mumsnet forum in case she saw posts slagging off her taste in interior decorations after her show was on TV - bless! ?

Ahh - thanks FLump, am following her now. I love her new programme so much. ❤️ ?

Armando Ianucci is ace.

"Hazel Blears. Hazel Blears. The Sum Of All Fears. Is Hazel Blears."

?

Ooh just found Angela Griffin, Pearl & Daisy Lowe, and Lisa Moorish. Not mega slebs but quite interesting I spose. I am soooo nosey ?

Ooh, brilliant, loads of inspiration here, thanks. I had a few but I think I'll be adding a few more now.

Thanks for posting people, some of those I've added that I didn't already have.

I'm extra sad as I'm currently following BBC's Eurovision! Ahh I love Eurovision!
