I knew Jonathan Ross had mentioned salad at the BAFTA awards, even though I wasn't watching. I was on Twitter, where the mention produced hundreds of tweets along the lines of @wossy hurrah! Salad! and #SALAD again!!! brilliant. power to Twitter #baftas
For those who have not been playing the game, @wossy asks Twitter users to suggest a word that he can work into his speeches or programmes or whatever. He picks one of the numerous suggestions -- or, as in this case, his wife does. He uses the word and Twitter goes wild. Tonight's word was salad.
The Guardian's Liveblog of the event went as follows:
8.44pm: He said salad! In an acting analogy! Audience unmoved.
8.45pm: Wow! Well, that was early. Bit stunning how few people Twitter in the audience though, no?
It's harmless fun.
