WEB-O-SPHERE DIGITAL DESPATCHES FOR THE TECHNOPHOBIC TCHES FOR THE TECHNOPHOBIC
We were very happy to k see loads of film.list.co.uk users getting all excited w about their favourite new . releases this past month. Sheila told us that Mr s Peabody & Sherman was an ‘absolutely hilarious great family film; kids t loved it’. So much so that she was ‘going to see it again tonight can't wait to hear my Peter Andre e singing in it lol’. Adelaide concurred with a much more reserved, but still approving, ‘excellent’. Our Award for Film Comment Enthusiasm, however, goes to Cameron, who was so delighted with Disney’s Frozen (pictured) that he eactivate could neither spell nor deactivate his caps lock. ‘FUUNY’ says more than any movie critic’s poster quote ever could. Elsewhere on the film site, a
number of people were getting enthusiastic about African drug documentary Iboga Nights. Site user Eoin was undoubtedly the most emphatic with his praise, although we’re glad he went on to clarify his initial statement: ‘I feel like Ive just been punched in the face by Jesus: I love documenaterys like this’.
PASSION FOR FASHION Re: Interview: Abdoulie Jagne of fashion project Mimosa Life (online)
This seems like exactly what Glasgow is missing: a link between the fashion and street style scene, clubbing, and the fusion of cultures. Having attended a couple of their events in the past, I can say from experience that it is totally unique and different, whilst totally entertaining. Not only that, they raise money for a good cause! I am a believer in this organisation and wish it all the best for the future. Can't wait to see more from them. Comment posted by Ray Karyym on list.co.uk God Bless You!

Finally we usually Finally, we usually frown on spammers using our site to flog their wares, but Mindy’s Coen-esque repetition of the word ‘nudist’ had us in fits of immature giggling: ‘Are you Single and a Nudist? Having any luck meeting partner who are also nudists? Check LocalNudistDating com to give yourself a better chance by meeting nudist friends who enjoys the same nudist lifestyle that you do!’ For anyone still in the dark about Mindy’s message: it’s for nudists.

An interesting take on Scottish culture & the #indyref debate from Robin Hodge, founder of @ thelistmagazine @thelistmagazine #indyref coverage is excellent. I hope more Scots engage in these discussions. @Indyref @YesScotland

@misterhsk My short story on #indyref in @thelistmagazine isn't meant to be a prediction by the way . . . @brianjaffa @thelistmagazine I doubt if this will influence anyone either way (too many big words for an auld Borderer). #Stillnotsure!
@MaesterOfApathy Interview: Bob Servant's guide to the Independence Referendum, via @thelistmagazine (Do NOT take literally)
@WeAreNational @thelistmagazine We're a bit disappointed there isn't a mention of us in your culture and independence issue.
@bellacaledonia @thelistmagazine drivel! Is this really the best No argument they could come up with? Most Yes voters could do better! ■ For all our #indyref coverage, see list.co.uk/ indyref
