Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-02-26

Posted by admin in twitter

Beard trimmed so it's no longer curling into my mouth. Twas a good look but is sadly no more. #
@MattAbbottSkint @GLPNE73 Didn't Springsteen cover that Frankie Goes To Hollywood Song? I quite like that… #
@alfiewb Harry? #
Bugger. Back luck Cardiff… Remember the Liverpool way though – just because you lost it doesn't mean you're losers… #ccfc #
Charlie Adam! Rubbish! #
@GLPNE73 Too right. Millions of neutrals urging Cardiff on… #
Back luck Stevie… #
GET IN!!! COME ON CARDIFF!!! #
Probably too much to ask for a comeback now, but we're willing you on Cardiff… #
If Liverpool lose today they'll wear 'Winners' t-shirts next weekend claiming that just because they lost it doesn't make them losers. #
@tenderhooligan Good… Was it tasty? #
@tenderhooligan Did you make it in time? You never said! #
COME ON CARDIFF CITY!!! #
@andthesewalls You could stay here but we're a £30 train journey from the Valley. #
@andthesewalls £100 for a ticket from wild frozen wastelands to civilisation sounds a bargain! #
@tenderhooligan I feel for you I really do. You have a shit life with all the dangers in your path. #breadmakerangst #tidyupsoyoudonttrip #
@andthesewalls @murphyz Kies is shocking but can you think of a single piece of software that has ever come with a mobile and been any good? #
@murphyz @andthesewalls No, it's a lot worse than iTunes. Another reason to never touch a Samsung again. #
Very enjoyable evening with @RiotousAssembly – if you get the chance, go! #
Off out to see @RiotousAssembly in a mo, very much looking forward to it! #
@chrisbevan_bbc PLEASE can the Live Reporting page have background updates back? Just took 2 minutes to load the latest item! #bbcfootball #
Come On Cambridge! #CUFC #ijwt #
@andthesewalls Didn't Bruce Springsteen cover that Frankie Goes To Hollywood song? #
@CUFC_tweets Crystal Palace? #
@GLPNE73 I said given up beating me, not playing me. Still thinking about my go. Please feel free to be beaten by me many times in Lent! #
@GLPNE73 Have you given up beating me at Words With Friends? #
Good goal… #
Absolutely… http://t.co/5INvLqAk #
@murphyz FINALLY got the paint for my @kidrobot. This weekend, weather permitting. #
@andthesewalls Online Butchers Shop Fresh Local Meat Food Suppliers – Walter Smith Fine Foods, Wolverhampton http://t.co/9hAIhjQo #
@howardnurse Online Butchers Shop Fresh Local Meat Food Suppliers – Walter Smith Fine Foods, Wolverhampton http://t.co/9hAIhjQo #
Get well soon… RT @CUFC_tweets: Best wishes to ex-U @conalp86 who sustained a broken leg tonight. #
Spot which band gets a mention in this ad! http://t.co/5h2eLln5 #
At The Abbey! #
Off to The Abbey tonight for an FA Trophy game against Guiseley. I pick all the glamour games… #ijwt #cufc #coconutsplease #
@ZinedineF Rembrandt, Trevor Horn, Johnny Thunders, Linda Ronstadt, Ian Curtis, Mario Kempes, Brigitte Nielsen & The Sultan of Brunei. Cool! #
Is beating the life out of someone IN the ring not malicious? RT @Pearcesport: Chisora under investigation for 'malicious injury'. #confused #
@murphyz Thank you! Off to bed now – alarm goes off in 5 and a bit hours! #
It is nice to be able to go to bed on report deadline evening without any still to do when I wake up. #
Do I feel satisfied on a job well done? No – it still feels like that's a whole chunk of my life I'll not get back. But… #
And 0! Reports completed and e-mailed to the head some eight and a quarter hours before deadline. I never thought I'd see the day… #
@murphyz It's 0.25 now. Not finished yet! #
@charltonbrooker Once you've copied it, Ctrl-V is no more a pain than Alt-3. Just a thought… #
1! #
2! #
5! #
10! #
Another 5 & my supper gone. 15 left. #

And then there were 20… #
Started with 27. Now it's 25. #
@danroan Brawl outside the ring=disgraceful. Beating the shit out of someone inside the ring=sport? It's all pathetic alpha-male thuggery. #
@alfiewb Think it would be better if it was a poster for the Triangle Of Destiny! #
@alfiewb Poor Spider Pig… #
It's a wet & cold afternoon in N.Essex & the ice cream van is out touting for sales. Guess that means 9 months of that bloody tune in 2012. #
Is it just me who can't get the radio coverage of Fleetwood vs Cambridge United? #
@CUFC_tweets Better? #
@CUFC_tweets We're going to bring a bream of hope to a shitty fishing village where the only plus point is that it's not Blackpool. #ijwt #
@CUFC_tweets Don't have a lot of love for the Fylde coast. Can you tell? #
@MattAbbottSkint Happy with your new manager? #
@CUFC_tweets We're going to bring a beam of hope to a shitty fishing village where the only plus point is that it's not Blackpool. #ijwt #
@GLPNE73 I can imagine… #
@GLPNE73 Loads of great places in USA *but* you have to be selective. Writing it all off would be like avoiding Paris because Albania's rum. #
RT @chineseladyinthepark I am still trying to make @hotpatooties notice me. Shamelessly. Because I think she is ridiculously awesome. #
@andthesewalls Of course, but once you're up… #
@GLPNE73 Although I didn't see The Wave have spent time in The Painted Desert & there are plenty other wonders. Astonishing place… #
Premiership here they come! RT @howardnurse: Neil Warnock confirmed now as new Leeds United manager. #
Cambridge United play again tomorrow after countless cancellations in a game I once had plans to attend. Ah well. Next home game… #ijwt #
#ff @Pearcesport for his court room Tweeting which has made Twitter seem relevant to me in a way I haven't otherwise felt for ages. #
@SuzanneLuca5 Only 4 more sleeps til Pancake Day! So excited! #
@andthesewalls I would suggest switching off Twitter/the internet and going for a walk. #
Watch "10 O'Clock Live – Charlie Brooker's Sun Poem" on YouTube http://t.co/GnxTeJ4I #
Playing before sleep… http://t.co/3beYnukt #
@prodnose Not even the best league in England – that'll be the Blue Square Premier… #ijwt #cufc #
@henrywinter Came from dubious decision making by Arsenal gk & defence though. They need to calm down. #
Shoddy goal kick. Arsenal did that to themselves. #
@andthesewalls Saw a retweet from a #htfc fan suggesting that an improvement of 7 league places after £millions and 3+ years wasn't enough. #
@6music – Whole Lotta Rosie by @ac_dc, from #SoundHound http://t.co/JME85IH1 #
Presume there's more to Lee Clark sacking than is being said. Huddersfield have been on a great run-many others teams would wish their form. #
Trying out posting to Twitter via Google+ #
I wonder if Cambridge United will ever play a game again… #
@superclarets74 @GLPNE73 Could have seen two Cambridge games so far this half-term but they keep being called off… #
@RussGreaves @CUFC_tweets No problem! Had been a mindworm all day! #
@CUFC_tweets @RussGreaves Well that took some searching… Rob Gier. Plays for/in the Philippines now I see! Sorry for the disturbance! #
@CUFC_tweets @RussGreaves Proper player. One season. Released by us. Short name I think. 3 years ago? MK Dons connection rings a bell. #
@RussGreaves in front of the NRE. Name has been on the tip of my tongue all day & it's fecking me off. #
@RussGreaves What's the name of the central defender we played at right back a couple of seasons ago. Was responsible for a legendary tackle #
@MattAbbottSkint Blues Brothers is OK. Never seen Bill & Ted so wouldn't know… #
My amazing friend’s fundraising for charity on @JustGiving & could use your support. Support them here http://t.co/57MFCJPe #
@tenderhooligan @helenmelonfox @murphyz It's a good job that most of us are joking isn't it! #
@tenderhooligan @helenmelonfox @murphyz We've known it for years & only put up with it out of pity. #
@JayStringer Penny for your thoughts… Good or bad decision? #
The true value of money – or why you can't fart a crashing plane back into the sky http://t.co/sFDnzB9H #
@RussGreaves Not sure it's just famous people. People seldom speak less than glowingly of the dead. Hope custom doesn't pass on before I do. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-02-12

Posted by admin in twitter

If #cufc hadn't sacked Herve Renard back in 2004 we'd be African Champions by now… #acon #
3 of the 4 missed penalties missed in the #acon final were taken by players based in England. It's obviously catching… #
Well Done Zambia. Well Done Herve Renard. It'll be his time at Cambridge United that set him up for that… #acon #
Nervewracking… #acon #
Who does the Zambia goalkeeper play for? Man Utd could do worse! #
@amberarmy1967 @CUFC100Book "The rout is complete!" #
@CUFC100Book I've got the whole cup run including Beck & Dublinon MOTD. Keep meaning to put it on DVD… #
@CUFC100Book I've got highlights if that Sheff Wed game on video in the attic! #
Luton maybe…? #
#cufc have had 2 (Gary Johnson-Latvia & Herve Renard-Various) Have any other #bsp clubs had managers who went on to manage internationally? #
Come On Zambia! (and your manager who wasn't good enough for Cambridge United!?) #acon #
Dalglish redeems himself a little… #
One of my favourite nostalgia albums is Whitney http://t.co/qwMQPWrt A listen reminds me exactly how, where & when I felt as a teenager. #
@tenderhooligan @GLPNE73 I don't understand how a man who showed such dignity post-Hillsborough could misjudge this situation SO badly. #
@murphyz @HelenMelonfox @andthesewalls Seems I can't vote on any machine using our wireless & it's too big for our 2G to load. #
Dalglish to @SkySports: "I think you are v.severe & bang out of order to blame Suarez for anything that happened here today" #deludedfool #
@murphyz @HelenMelonfox @andthesewalls Yes but with a different login. Will have a go on another computer. #
Interesting to hear if Liverpool accept wrongdoing of some sort after this one. Any remaining fragments of credibility lost if they don't. #
@GLPNE73 @DanLomas Was out in shorts, t-shirt & slippers this morning to open the chickens and can confirm: it is cold out. #
@alfiewb If only you weren't on a coach… And had a pretend pipe to pretend to smoke. Did you take one? #
@alfiewb Sipping a generous mug of hot chocolate… #
@alfiewb Your slippers resting on a velvet footstool… #
@alfiewb Times crossword… #
@alfiewb Get your pipe out and relax… #
@GLPNE73 @danlomas Moyes might work. Van Gaal is free. I'd do it. #
@DanLomas @glpne73 Have seen Benitez suggested. That would stop me watching England. Give the job to Beckham… #
@GLPNE73 @danlomas Have no idea where Brian Cant came from, was just the next name that came into my head… #
@GLPNE73 @danlomas Howard Wilkinson, Terry Venebles, Brian Cant… #
@DanLomas @glpne73 John Beck for England! #cufc #
@murphyz @andthesewalls You choose 10 images that you feel reflect your work these past 12 months, the public vote for their faves. #
@DanLomas @glpne73 Peter Reid… #
@murphyz Response can wait, but wondered if to celebrate a year of your blog you'd share your personal Top 10? #
@DanLomas @glpne73 Warnock's my choice. Either that or Paul Hart. Phil Brown's free isn't he? #
England could do worse than Brendan Rodgers. #englandmanager #
@andthesewalls Surely they'll bend the rules if Redknapp wants it and allow him to do both jibs until the end of the season. If he wants it. #
Neil Warnock's available isn't he? #englandmanager #
Capello resigns. England still aren't going to win Euro 2012 but I bet the odds have shortened a bit… #
@greenheartessex Great job being done by bin men in Halstead today. Thank you! #
@andthesewalls @alfiewb went to see Woman In Black last year. #
@GLPNE73 You'd be the same about The Smits and Real Around The Fountain… #
@GLPNE73 Govinda & Crispian. Really though, open your mind. It's beautiful… #
When the Daily Mail calls rightwingers stupid, the result is dumbogeddon http://t.co/L8gVinqY #
@GLPNE73 Anything off this…Pilgrims Progress: Kula Shaker http://t.co/kDE6eTxI Really. #
@danroan Has no one at the BBC/UEFA/FIFA read The Miracle Of Castel di Sangro (sp?) regarding match fixing? We've all known for years! #
@DanLomas Agreed. When was the last stunning F1 car? #
@tenderhooligan Handbrake… #
@RussGreaves Is that the first time we've been favourites for a cup?! #

@andthesewalls What did I do/say?! #
@andthesewalls Why the change from Hibernian to United? Apart from the obvious. #
Abbey United wanted to be called Cambridge City but Cambridge Town got their application in first and so Cambridge United was born… #
Just how big *can* patios be? #
@andthesewalls @tenderhooligan Is it like that because Dundee is the proper team in Dundee and got the proper name first? #
@tenderhooligan And as for Miss Fucking Marple. Ran a protection racket. Fact. #
@tenderhooligan Sorry, beg to differ again. Have been accusing Poirot for years. Not as much of a bastard as Morse was though. #
@tenderhooligan Because drinking tea is an everyday event. The snow is news & there *are* people enjoying it even if you (& others) hate it. #
@tenderhooligan Some people have choked to death on food. Let's not have any mention of food tasting nice in any broadcast media… #
@tenderhooligan Business suffers – tick! Travellers inconvenienced – tick! Old people freezing – tick! People having fun – no thanks. #
@tenderhooligan …lovely day to day. Balance? There is none. #
@tenderhooligan that there should be no mention of the problems that snow causes but there are hundreds of thousands of people having a… #
@tenderhooligan There are loads of crashes on roads all the time – is every headline relentless negative about the snow? I'm not suggesting> #
@tenderhooligan I'd put the whinging about snow up there with those about fortnightly rubbish bin collections. #
@tenderhooligan Being stuck in a car for a few hours is like being a refugee?
Our cosseted lives are inconvenienced for a few days… #
@tenderhooligan Really?!? So having a flight delayed by a day is the same as starving to death? #
@tenderhooligan What am I saying? 5%! That's 300,000 people! Much less than that. #
@tenderhooligan But that's maybe 5% of the population. Yet 100% of the headlines are of doom & gloom. #
Have yet to see "People have fun as snow blankets the UK" headline. Sure some people are inconvenienced but is it only negativity allowed? #
@ZinedineF Our chickens, facing their first snow, were nonplussed & unimpressed in equal measure. There'll be no making of snowcocks today. #
@andthesewalls …prefer to skim headlines and then read about stories of interest from a range of sources online. #
@andthesewalls Choose not to watch any news on TV. All of it, on all channels, makes me too angry… #
@andthesewalls Any snow yet? It's up to our knees here, having great fun with L looking for the Gruffalo's Child… #
@andthesewalls And then there's Al-Jazeera & Fox News…or even just a read of the Mail. I'll stick with the Beeb thanks. #
@andthesewalls Thankfully we can rely on ITV & Sky to tell it as it is and not resort to biased sensationalism… #
#uksnow CO9 8/10 Lovely! #
Looking forward to the snow itself, but not the tiresome modern angst 90% of the population will greet it, and others' reaction to it, with. #
@murphyz Don't diss the Beeb in this house! And you can have proper coffee in it tomorrow morning… #
@GLPNE73 Goal every other game, although that included a long barren spell early on. Was on fire by the end. Maybe just a BSP player then. #
@GLPNE73 You've signed Holroyd! Prolific for us & hopefully for you too. #
