@soph_fox I know lots of you have moved up from London but CNN seem to have made too much of it. http://t.co/1gOCTQx1 #

@andthesewalls Don't know enough about her to form full opinion but m or f "Bra tycoon in independence threat" is a headline made for jokes. #

@andthesewalls Think it's more to do with her line of business, & the suggestion that her principals don't extend to her Chinese workers. #

@RussGreaves "Peter Drury" is an anagram of "Complete Cock". Probably. #itvsport #facup #shite #

Would it not all just be easier & cheaper if the government paid everyone £1m & let us get on with it? #

@alex_gurnett Old tunes?! Mr. Rascal?! #

@andthesewalls Don't be so harsh on yourself-you're ill! Will be interesting to know which ones you found hard/easy/annoying. Again, thanks! #

@andthesewalls That's promising… #

@DanLomas @GLPNE73 @andthesewalls E-mail sent. Thank you! #

@andthesewalls Can I email you the music round to my quiz so someone who doesn't know my iPod so well (@HelenMelonfox) can feedback? #

And @murphyz no…you can't because that would be cheating! #

@DanLomas @GLPNE73 Can I email you both the music round to my quiz so someone who doesn't know my iPod so well (@HelenMelonfox)can feedback? #

From childhood I've disliked Liverpool & they keep giving me reasons not to change my mind. Hope Man U thrash them today. #facup #

@tenderhooligan Have a good weekend! #

@coinoperated @HelenMelonfox Whatever makes you happy… #

@coinoperated @HelenMelonfox You're not a *proper* doctor though are you… #

(Re)tweeted about it earlier but well done @alfiewb for another great report. Very proud… #thumbsforward #

@ecotricity Facing (gentle) pressure from @HelenMelonfox to consider @ovoenergy on grounds of cost & not-bad green creds. Thoughts? #

@CUFC_tweets Thanks for favouriting my tweet but I've deleted it & replaced it with 1 including the weeklydebate hashtag. Just so you know! #

@CUFC_tweets Claude le Roy. Does that count? Because he was, if only very briefly. #weeklydebate #

@CUFC_tweets Claude le Roy. Does that count? Because he was, if only very briefly. #

@andthesewalls I prefer the Busted version of Teenage Kicks to be honest. #robertpeel #

My gf, @HelenMelonfox, was asked for ID! You know what they say: You're only as old as the woman behind the till thinks your girlfriend is. #

@HelenMelonfox From? To? #

@MattAbbottSkint I like the first two singles but does your head not just turn to mush after a whole album of Lana? #

Because we find ourselves in drudgery for trinkets, is it right that we condition the next generation to be (dis)content with the same? #

Sorry…missed #joke off that last tweet… #

At last, a Valentine's gift idea for @HelenMelonfox! The iron's broken… #

@DanLomas @GLPNE73 I didn't spot the 'k' at first either… #

Ow! #

@andthesewalls http://t.co/UoPIIN6J Perfect! #

@andthesewalls Do you have a compost heap? #

@andthesewalls Because you're a miserable fecker! #

@murphyz Name & shame! #

Biggest problem however will be effectively managing my new obsession. Least it's on Mac now so I can work simultaneously. #sb29 #FM2012 #

Tactics all set to close down & pressure but stood & watched as amateur Swiss team scored 7. Maybe need to ditch 'calm' team talks. #FM2012 #

Going OK in the friendlies but can't get the defence to close down &/or tackle! Obviously training issues that #cm0304 didn't have. #FM2012 #

And that I chose to manage #sb29 because of this? #FM2012 #

Is it v.sad that due to a recent holiday in Brittany I even know the house I'd buy if I really were on £6k a week as boss of #sb29 #FM2012 #

Back managing in France for the first time since a stint at Socheaux rebuilt my career in #CM3 Hoping I can lead #sb29 to glory in #FM2012 #

Damn you #FM2012 Damn you… #hooked #sb29 #

@arobertwebb For a bill mime, I've started doing a jabbing motion as if using chip & pin. It works. Mostly. #

@DionDublinsDube Indeed there is Dion. Calmed down yet? #

Unknowingly listening to Robert Smith on #6music saying to @HelenMelonfox "this singer REALLY wants to be Robert Smith". #

@prodnose With you on cool & punk-through-rose-tinted-specs. #101 Don't care if it sounds like brown nosing, can you be on TV more please? #

@GLPNE73 There's nothing parochial about my feelings for the shit hole but they're not good. #

Listened to @thatalexday's Parrot Stories today and quite enjoyed it. I may even give it another listen… #

@alfiewb Incidentally, the plant cover is brilliant. In place now over my palm. Thank you. #

@alfiewb The voice. Manic, up and down Irish. #

@GLPNE73 Filth… #

@GLPNE73 Excellent! The way we scored snooker when I played in a Blackpool snooker team during a previous life. #

@tenderhooligan Which in fact is mentioned at the end of the article! Conan Doyle never explained his survival, why need Moffatt? #

@tenderhooligan I don't know, but I believe (following input from @HelenMelonfox) that his death is inspired by this: http://t.co/pdrBHPgK #

@GLPNE73 Oh I was sweating… #

Watching James Moriarty on #Sherlock I keep thinking about Jedward. #

@GLPNE73 I wore so many layers yesterday that the ill-fitting training bib better resembled a crop top. It was still cold… #

@tenderhooligan When I've seen it I'll tell you. #

@tenderhooligan As I'm only half way through watching it I have no idea what it is he did though! #

@tenderhooligan Search 'Sherlock Holmes' in Google and there are several people asking the same thing. #

@soph_fox @HelenMelonfox Watching through my fingers, delighted that my childbirth experiences took place 50+ years after #callthemidwife #

@andthesewalls Post them please, as @alfiewb suggests! #

Kenny Dalglish says Liverpool 'will not tolerate' racism in football unless it's from one of their star players. http://t.co/748eETQg #

@howardnurse Tevez back to #mufc to replace Berbatov? #

Got the shakes though as an after effect of the A-snoreteen-beating energy drinks. Too tired & shaky to do anything, too wired to relax. #

Home again and happily covered covered in baby snot… #

I love the A14… #

@alfiewb @tenderhooligan @helenmelonfox I think it's me that's predictable… #

@HelenMelonfox @tenderhooligan I was kicked in the testicles once… #

@HelenMelonfox @alfiewb In fact, I wish they did an Android version… #

Off to football in a mo. Inhalers aren't important are they… #

@HelenMelonfox @alfiewb Apart from CM I can see a point well made… #

@alfiewb I agree! #

@GLPNE73 Happy with Westley? #

@alfiewb @HelenMelonfox @tenderhooligan @andthesewalls @murphyz Hot chocolate? #

@alfiewb @tenderhooligan @andthesewalls @murphyz @helenmelonfox Do you make cooked breakfasts Alfie? #

@tenderhooligan @andthesewalls @murphyz @HelenMelonfox Bloody women sticking together! #

@andthesewalls I know we did, but if #6music read our tweets they might bring her back. Be careful! #

Recommending the new London Cocktail Club bar in Bloomsbury. http://t.co/2qlCqngm #

@andthesewalls (As awful as he is he's better than Josie Long.) #

@andthesewalls Are you seeing how many times you can tweet the word 'bacon' in one day? #

@tenderhooligan @andthesewalls @murphyz Where's @HelenMelonfox when you need her? #

Tiring day at #BETT yesterday in London but v.useful as ever. Enjoyable evening with @murphyz too..remember the days when I wasn't driving? #

@andthesewalls @murphyz @tenderhooligan Not in a cocktail surely?! #evenifiwasntvegetarian #

@MattAbbottSkint Indeed, before domestication robbed them of the skills wild horses used to weave their own blankets in such weather. #

@murphyz Lovely. I'm a little bit jealous. Night! #

@andthesewalls @murphyz One of the group had a cocktail with bacon. Yes, bacon. And egg. It was real bacon. #

@murphyz Are you STILL there? (I am now in bed…) Good to see you today! #

@charltonbrooker Sean Connery in Goldfinger… #

@andthesewalls He only stated gender b'se of the play on words with the expression 'to a man' which interviewer used, probably on purpose. #

@tenderhooligan I'll stop now, but I'm interested in your views & I disagree with @andthesewalls! #

@tenderhooligan …unfair stick because of her sex because she does & I cringe at games when it happens (& have stuck up for her!) but… #

@tenderhooligan Which, incidentally, she is but no more or less than most of the male referees. I'm not pretending that she doesn't get… #

@tenderhooligan Keys & Gray were out of order as they said she was rubbish because she was a woman. Jewell just said she was rubbish. #

@tenderhooligan 3rd comment"but he [Lewis] didn't give it. You better ask him why he didn't give it, or her why she [Fearn] didn't give it." #

@tenderhooligan …Lineswoman, linesman – both sexist? Assistant Referee – non-gender specific term that no one really uses anyway. tbc. #

@tenderhooligan …2nd comment "I thought the lineswoman, or whatever she's called, had a great view" Well what is her title?… #

@tenderhooligan http://t.co/XcWA1GEo He slated both male ref & female lineswoman. First comment "to a woman" was a play on words… tbc #

@andthesewalls The interviewer said "to a man" & Jewell said "yes, but not to a woman" & she's a woman. He then slated both her & male ref! #

FA confirm that "no further action" to be taken over Paul Jewell's comments about assistant ref Amy Fearn. #becausehewasntbeingsexist #

@andthesewalls I said something then walked away. You'll not win, but good luck if you try. #

Time for a technology detox? http://t.co/euHb1XQI #

@andthesewalls Indeed. That's the thing isn't it. I could cope with the non-contact business if it was consistent game-to-game. #

@andthesewalls Two-footed tackles that go through the player are nasty, but both of these were more ball-winning slides than actual tackles. #

@andthesewalls Well I would say that in both cases they were in complete control and not really anywhere near the player. #

@andthesewalls Johnson's was worse than Kompany's. Both of them got the ball though… #

HS2 Huge Waste Of Money http://t.co/gy9tKHzw #

@slimtim70 @XanderArmstrong But the Star Bar…oft forgotten but worth remembering. #

@XanderArmstrong Deep fried Picnic, now there's a treat. With the batter, raisins & biscuit etc. it's like a sweet & sour cornucopia! #

Glad @alfiewb likes tea – he makes a cracking cuppa. Thanks! #

@andthesewalls For years whilst English football was banned the rest of Europe was far worse. Violence & racism seem to be OK over there. #

HS2 isn't going to get people on trains if the fares are still too high & it costs a fortune to get to/park at the stations. #wasteofmoney #

@ZinedineF Steve Spriggs. My first football hero, saw him play in the early '80s as an 8-9 year old but would like my memory jogging now. #

@andthesewalls @HelenMelonfox There's a fine line between 'wild play' and 'being a pain in the arse'… #

@andthesewalls In the book WTWTA though there is no playing at all, it's all just wild rumpusing. #

If it was a film script we'd laugh at it… Well done Thierry Henry! #

@andthesewalls Evil Aunts…they do stop him playing. #

@andthesewalls Matilda is stopped from reading books… #

New Waybuloo! Pah! Rubbish Waybuloo more link. 'Tis ruined… http://t.co/yFORPL9r #

@laurenlaverne At least that's not as bad as what they've done to #Waybuloo #

@andthesewalls Yep she has. Not sure how this if different from Barton's activities either although maybe handbags rather than thuggery. #

@andthesewalls Hasn't the woman been kept in custody too? Not defending, just clarifying. #

@MorganHPhillips Go @ecotricity…great customer service, good prices they monitor and adjust promptly, duel fuel…investing in wind. #

@tenderhooligan First it was the z in @murphyz & now it's the b in @alfiewb. Where will it en? #

@tenderhooligan @HelenMelonfox & @alfiewb are watching #sherlock but too transfixed to tweet. I've had a meditate & gone to bed instead. #

@DanLomas Headspace I'm on day 2 of the Take10 series – check out the Android app! #

Worried that the 'light goblin' might attack @alfiewb in the middle of the night despite the new (and rather splendid) profile picture. #

@tenderhooligan I think that's for the best. #

@tenderhooligan No, which is why you can't just sit in a chair and let them be. #

@tenderhooligan Not a bun I trust, for you should never be lazy in getting them out of the oven. #

I didn't realise Tubbs from The League Of Gentlemen was a football manager… #pish #

Just when you thought #itvfootball couldn't get any worse…Peterborough & Barry Fry. #pish #borobastard #

Is it just me or is Phil Jones not quite as good as he's made out to be? In a few years time maybe but at the moment he seems a blusterer. #

Would like to see #mcfc equalise, if only to see if #itv have the face to start rubbishing #mufc again after the hype at half time. #

Today's Top TV Fact: #itv #039;s football coverage is much improved when your daughter turns up Peppa Pig and drowns out the commentary. #

Football. Bloody hell. #

@tenderhooligan Had to leave the room when another US import, #NewGirl was on. Even Ms Deschanel didn't stop me hating everything about it. #

@andthesewalls I see. Not OK but there quite possibly is a link. Liverpool have handled the whole matter in a dreadful fashion. #

@andthesewalls Link? Between what and what? #

@andthesewalls #sighsinsympathy #

@andthesewalls Are you surprised about Liverpool? #

@andthesewalls What's Claridge said? #

@andy_headspace The Android App crashed during sign-up and my e-mail address/username is in limbo. Have e-mailed tech helpline & hoping… #

Sick of pointless facile anti-racism tweets & retweets from people posturing on the back of a bandwagon. What do you think you're achieving? #

Every trip to Braintree Freeport rips away, screaming, a huge chunk of your soul. Makes me want to live in a cave. #

@murphyz Why does your Twitter homepage allow me to see how much time I spend on Twitter? #

Blackpool vs Fleetwood. The only game where I'd have a greater desire for BOTH teams to lose would be Peterborough A vs Peterborough B. #

@SuzanneLuca5 (I have no intention of doing so really…) #

@GLPNE73 @DanLomas Not really, but you are hampering preparation of the quiz I'm creating because I keep seeing new tweets and refreshing! #

I feel I ought to be subscribing to Sky so I can watch darts. #

@SuzanneLuca5 It refers to my previous tweet. To clever by half me, imho of course… #

@alfiewb What will you be able to waste your money on now?! #

@RussGreaves Same team on NYD. Braintree a shadow of the team they were earlier this season & will there for the taking again by this side. #

@RussGreaves Thought Marriot looked at least very peckish. Whole team impressed with their endevour to win the ball & desire to use it well. #

Seems Braintree Town are just a pub team from Essex after all. #ijwt #

Only time Braintree's oafish, timewasting defender Bailey-Dennis showed any effort was berating the l'man for no OS having watched the goal. #

Good to see Cambridge taking game to Braintree & challenging for every ball. Carew good but frustrating. 1-0 at HT and should win. #ijwt #

Braintree timewasting from the off & ref thinks winning the ball is a yellow but a punch in the head is a drop ball. Long way to go. #ijwt #

@alfiewb What about the number to? #

@ZinedineF Have travelled up from 10 minutes away from Braintree's ground! Saw them play recently…we should have enough. #ijwt #

I shall, shortly, be partaking of my first ever home-made pickled egg. #

Is it just me that is listening to Dalglish's daily spoutings of bollocks and *almost* wishing Rafa was back at poor hard done by Liverpool? #

6am & wide awake. Anyone would think the array of alcopops consumed last night all contain caffeine. Remarkably clear of head at the mo tho. #

Are British Workers Losing The Power To Think? http://t.co/ne0dpjgd #

@GLPNE73 @MattAbbottSkint We can but hope. (Joke!) Really though, football is a law unto itself for players, fans, clubs & managers. #

@GLPNE73 @MattAbbottSkint If at work we came out with the things Evra are alleged to have come out with we'd be sacked. They weren't racist. #

@andthesewalls I think they can, but have to ask the opposition if they want the same treatment. Trick shirt came about because oppo didn't. #

@OliverKayTimes @LFC Why has statement now been taken down? #

@andthesewalls L'pool statement interesting. Makes good point that tho not racist abuse Evra did dish out a lot of nasty stuff(& often does) #

@andthesewalls Blackburns fans should be shouting "Venky's Out!" as it were they who appointed the hapless Kean in the first place. #

@andthesewalls Some training as you suggest may be useful, but if they think he's a lost cause… It's all a very difficult area… #

@andthesewalls but if this is an example of Suarez's usual attitude or he does it again then throw him to the dogs… #

@andthesewalls Not belittling his actions & punishment is correct, but always keen not to condemn. Crime, time, rehabilitation. tbc #

@andthesewalls If this is typical of Suarez & his behaviour then lose him, but if he misguidedly used it to get to Evra & is otherwise OK… #

@andthesewalls Take Atkinson-spent entire career promoting black players when others didn't. Words were racist once but actions never were. #

@andthesewalls "Using racist language" & "racist"-are they the same? Is Big Ron a racist? If Suarez is the latter then no, I'd not want him. #

Shall be whipping Suarez out of my fantasy league team quickish. And fined a weekend's pay too! #

@serafinowicz I like that Story Train show which is 18 mins of filler and 2 minutes of story. Driver Dan's voice is the only weak bit. #

@tenderhooligan Loved last week’s Black Mirror. Definitely worth watching very thought provoking. Excellent TV. This one seems good so far. #

Another Black Mirror. Will my intentions of having an early night be thwarted again? #

@SuzanneLuca5 Do you not know who’s won? #

@tenderhooligan I find the “if ever” bit intriguing – it suggests you do occasionally! #

@GLPNE73 Ought to be, I think it would add something! #

Correct result in the #xfactor That’s the end of my music competition viewing until the far superior #Eurovision Roll on Azerbaijan! #

20 seconds! Respect Dermot! #xfactor #

How many seconds pause? #xfactor #

@andthesewalls That would be fine, so long as it didn’t really hurt… #

I do actually love Living La Vida Loca by Coldplay but can never remember the title. It’s my “Song You Love By A Band You Don’t” moment. #

Hope Coldplay finish with Living La Vida Loca. That’s one of two songs of theirs’ I like… #xfactor (Correction for @DanLomas) #

@DanLomas Knew it didn’t look right, and you are correct of course. I shall retweet a correction! #

@DanLomas Did you enjoy Coldplay? #

@tenderhooligan Is that totally random or are you watching the snooker? #

Chris Martin’s sweat, & his reaction to it, has just made me warm to him a little. Still don’t want to buy their new album though. #xfactor #

Hope Coldplay finish with Living La Vida Loca. That’s one of two songs of their’s I like… #xfactor #

Paradise! Is it a trailer for every-single-Christmas-TV-program-on-every-channel or the real song? Phew… #xfactor #

Every time Chris Martin’s voice goes high I think of Fix You & I want to cut off my ears. This is better than all before it tho. #xfactor #

@andthesewalls I’m not fussed about the reasons for your tears, so long as they win my a few premium rate phone votes! #

@DanLomas They’re whoring Paradise even more than Take That did with their come back album. Just like Marillion & Kula Shaker do. #

Surely Little Mix have to win #xfactor does the world need another winning bloke to forget the name of immediately? #

Hoping Coldplay perform Paradise, if only because it’s been a whole 30 secs since I heard a bit of it used as trailer music on TV. #xfactor #

@tenderhooligan I’d go on and cry for you! #

I’d go on #xfactor and probably win it, but my bastard friends & family would probably refuse to go on TV & cry for me. So I won’t. Sorry. #

Tulisa makes Louis seem almost bearable… #xfactor #

It’s all rubbish really but for what it’s worth Little Mix ought to win this year’s #xfactor #

@andthesewalls I hope they have Easter Egg & Harvest Basket shirts too. #

@stephenfry Searched this on my phone http://t.co/AqYDRmO3 but doesn’t seem to work on a web search. Sure the Germans would be fine… #

Anyone know what the song on Jarvis Cocker’s #6Music show that he stopped early? About a man looking in a window. It’s not on the site… #

@DanLomas Not this time, more an elegant catch at silly-mid-on whilst facilitating L&E’s inhalation of the juiciest watermelon in the world. #

@andthesewalls &I don’t care about Franco anymore than I care about Celtic being Catholic-people can make more of it but to me it’s football #

Marcus is the lovechild of Dave Lister & The Cat. #fact #xfactor #

@andthesewalls Which freebie? #

@andthesewalls What are you using? #

@GLPNE73 Chavenage? Hard to believe we beat them in the BSP Play-Off Semi Final only two & a half years ago… #

@GLPNE73 Beat the mighty Boreham Wood 1-0 in the FA Trophy! It’s all glory in the BSP you know! OK result for you? You’re still up there… #

@andthesewalls Are Queen not good enough for you? And why are Cambridge Fans United following you? #

And I won’t mention it again…Honest. #

Summing up. iPad: Twitter-Twitter App, Facebook-Web. Android: Twitter-Seesmic, Facebook-Facebook App 2 read, Seesmic 2 write. Computer: Web. #

How exciting are social networking app tweets?! #

Facebook for Android now much better as it carries over your wall filters from the web. Can’t see comments on photos direct from alert tho. #

Re Seesmic & multiple account posting, that is Twitter & Facebook at the same, not just several Twitter accounts. #

On Android I’ve stayed with Seesmic & not new Twitter app: Multiple accnt post, short URLs, full screen, quicker, longer Tweets. Still good. #

New iPad Facebook app doesn’t seem to comprehend the idea of me NOT wanting to use Chat. Third of the screen used telling me I’m signed out! #

@andthesewalls Now I’m Here by Queen. Sat in the middle of a cracking album, “Down in the dungeon just Hoople & me!” #

Not a bad draw for Cambridge, good results for Preston & Charlton, and surely Kean has to go at Blackburn. Glad Leeds won today too. #random #

@EmmaCLloyd Hope it goes as you wish it to. Take care of yourself & thinking of you. #

@EmmaCLloyd You OK? (Sounds a superficial question, but meant sincerely…) #

@HelenMelonfox @murphyz Neither @alfiewb nor I have the colours we need, but it won't be long… #

Best I've read about Gary Speed today. A saddening shock whatever happened. How many others we don't hear about? http://t.co/GAoHzQsd #now #

Lovely weekend with @tenderhooligan @murphyz @HelenMelonfox & @alfiewb despite @andthesewalls'absence. Now nodding off in front of #scd #

About to play Trivial Pursuit from 1984 with @tenderhooligan @murphyz @HelenMelonfox & @alfiewb Anyone know anything about Ronald Reagan? #

This weekend there's a little bit of us all in Dundee… #

@murphyz @tenderhooligan will be providing a soft play area tomorrow morning. Hoorah! #

@MattAbbottSkint @glpne73 That's Britain! http://t.co/YnzyTq8A #

@andthesewalls @murphyz @tenderhooligan @HelenMelonfox Just about to hit the town! (Or bed…) Miss ya… #

@GLPNE73 @MattAbbottSkint Have you seen that bloody awful new program on BBC? Half an hour of spoilt bastards moaning. Can't bear to tune in #

If only I had a kindly dishwasher-monkey around. COUGH @alfiewb COUGH #

@andthesewalls Who are you? #

@alfiewb @tenderhooligan @murphyz @helenmelonfox Banquet booked! #

Goodbye Gran. #

Why risk risotto? Short cut to elimination every time. #masterchef #

@JamieeTheGreat #ecotricity Brilliant. Easy to switch, great customer service, not expensive either considering. Would recommend 100%. #

@SeanLock_ Wait until you've been recycling the same old tired shit for 10yrs before you comment on @CHRISDJMOYLES's material. #

Another anxiety dream about next year's quiz. I've never forgotten about one I'm running before so I'm not sure why my brain is worried now. #

Have just won £2.80 on Euromillions. With this 80p profit the £63 bill for ripping my rear bumper off yesterday doesn't seem quite so bad. #

@MattAbbottSkint @GLPNE73 (And they're not even everywhere in Cambridge!) #

@andthesewalls @tenderhooligan …because they're proper addictions, not just people being greedy who are fair game for pity & ridicule. #

@andthesewalls @tenderhooligan It's the sensationalist use of the word 'tsunami' I object to. They wouldn't use it for alcohol or drugs… #

@andthesewalls @tenderhooligan Are they calling Irish people fat? Just as wrong a generalisation… #

@tenderhooligan That's because they can't leave the house. Would they tsunami of drunks hitting Scotland? #

@MattAbbottSkint A Cambridge United fan! We're everywhere… #

@MattAbbottSkint Aside from the morals I don't really like animals. Wouldn't put a live one in my mouth & it being dead doesn't encourage me #
