    Following the EMK memorial via twitter is as hilariously maudlin as one would expect.

    @Busymom I vote, "nay." I'll never get tired of saying "#42, Reginald Maudlin's naughty bits. #78, Margaret Thatcher's naughty bits."

    One shouldn't revisit the haunts of one's youth. Especially not when hung over and maudlin'.

    Not been feeling Maudlin, but can't seem to get Elvis Costello's version of 'Good Year for the Roses' out of my head. Just an awesome song.

    Survived primark on a Saturday. Maudlin faces abounded in a queue that wrapped around the shap. Was tempted to shoplift just to get out.

    Maybe I'm in a maudlin mood but Ted Kennedy's funeral is getting to me. Strange how you can miss someone you didn't know.
