  1. @Not_Abi You off then? Bye.
  2. For the past few years, I seem to have assumed that Sebastian Coe and Dwain Chambers were the same person. Easy mistake to make, right?
  3. Well, that's every front page of the Daily Star sorted for the next god know how many weeks/months/years tabloid-watch.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/stars-… >@tabloidwatch
  4. Apparently, as well as all the sponsorship and corporate branding, there's also supposed to be some sport events in London this summer.
  5. Boris "LEDGERD" Johnson quotes unsubstantiated statistic about KSIs cyclists breaking the law: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi… (via @shakteh)
  6. Here's what happened the last time Nadine #Dorries went on a "fact finding trip": independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
  7. Enjoy your holiday, sorry, "fact finding trip", #Dorries: twitter.com/NadineDorriesM…
  8. RT @adam_j666: Oh jolly good. Another #london2012 #olympics parody account. #ff @SEBC0E < Enjoy it while it's here.
  9. Two days ago I tweeted a link to a parody London 2012 account: twitter.com/DickMandrake/s… It's gone now.
  10. Of course, Jeremy Hunt won't be fired, he'll resign and then be given a promotion to some other well-paid job in the city.
  11. Video reconstruction of Jeremy Hunt's conversation with Adam Smith (1 minute in): youtu.be/teEnDjNBDp4?t=… #leveson
  12. @dnotice2012 My mistake, it turns out they're subtly different: flickr.com/photos/thevoic…
  13. @LorrieHearts NOT INTO THE PIT! youtube.com/watch?v=ZMkrk2…
  14. @dnotice2012 Have you ever seen Lindt's Chocolate Reindeer? It's exactly the same as the rabbit, but with a different foil.
  15. @robmanuel There was the article on how an early version of Toy Story 2 was deleted, restored and then scrapped. It's on the popular page.
  16. @chainbear At least they paid the copyright holder. It's the fact they've stuck him against a blank canvas that says, "Yeah, we got nothing"
  17. Telegraph Blogs blocked by mobile obscenity filter. Stupid idea when I can easily block it for myself: blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tomchiver… (@TomChivers)
  18. Just noticed Virgin Media using the Success Kid image to sell their services. Naturally gets the terminology wrong. #comeupwithyourownideas
  19. HyperMegaSuperUltraSports Committee more concerned about branding and image than gender equality, unsurprisingly: telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics…
