For example, one driver updated their Twitter page to say: “Driving with my knees and peeling an orange... Probably not the safest thing to be doing."

If you're involved in an accident you'd get shafted so hard for that :lol:

He must have three hands to peel and orange and tweet at the same time.

I think I have my first Twitter stalker!

www.twitter.com/cuteass20

They seem to have some interesting intentions!
I'm a bit bemused...  :shrug:

Guessing its not Spam - as I'm the only one being followed!

Better than some bloke a called Bob who started following me. Blocked him. Then an apparently cute looking lass started following. Let her stick around but now she's gone.

I don't mind random followers if they're a) not commercial and b) have something interesting to say on their feed.

If it's just people trying to gather followers for no apparant reason, e.g. they have virtually nothing on their feed then I can't be bothered with them.

My God. Just reading the Twittering of some right wing Americans with regard to Obama's historic Cairo speech. The views that some of the seemingly educated and otherwise intelligent people hold about Bush (hero) and Obama (selling America's soul) are truly terrifying. Twitter is great for little snapshots of people's views on things but fuck me, be careful what you look at.

The closest I'm going to get to a tweet is if one of the grouse hanging in my garage isn't actually dead.

FFS I don't like using text messages.

Twitter taken over by "Iranian Cyber Army"



Ahh, that would probably explain the "Invalid Certificate" message I got about twitter earlier/overnight.

loving @VizTopTips on twitter. So good.

PROTECT yourself from being caught out by freak weather events by expecting them at all times.

TWITTER DESIGNERS Why not increase the character amount on Tweets? I can never quite get out what I want to say, you bunch of cu

The fake Paul Merson who has replaced the fake Phil Brown is good.

@pmpaulmerson Very wrong but very funny.

Now following Princess Diana (@dianainheaven) thanks to Jasper:

Pissed nut Keith Floyd thinks he's getting Peppard's exec bunk. No fucking chance. Rule one: don't monk one out into a cloud on your 1st day

Good thing about being up here: Brian Clough's weekly podcast with Laurel & Hardy.

Secret service agents gone. JFK strutting around again like he's the cock of the walk.
