Ok, so it's coming up to that time where the BBC becomes a mess of vaguely entertaining bits coupled with charitable pleas for donations for Comic Relief. As part of their efforts, they're doing "Twitrelief", which basically is an Ebay auction for celebrities to follow you on Twitter.
Why is this interesting? Because only Andy bleeping Nyman is in the list of biddables.

The full list is at http://bit.ly/Twitreliefislive and Nyman is at £51 currently with 9 days to go.
Winning bidders get the celebrity to follow them for 90 days, 1 retweet of yours and a tweet with your twitter name in it. Depending on the person, there's also extras, which in Andy's case includes 2 decent seats for Ghost Stories and a meetup with him afterwards.

If only I wasn't so financially bereft...

I'm not sure I like the "celebrity will follow you" thing (if you have something interesting to say then a celebrity might well tweet or DM you anyway, so come up with something interesting when talking to an idol!). I did have some reservations this morning when hearing about it. But it's for a great cause

There's some great extras there though, if only I could afford to bid on them!
