Just heard that the German bloke Federer’s playing against at Roland Garros right now (1st round) gets $23k for losing. I could do that. 4:46 AM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS
@hambleman haha, yes probably. 4:42 AM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hambleman
@hambleman no, twitter’s a bit like taking loads of nose at a party full of other people in a similar state. 4:40 AM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hambleman
@hambleman oops, you know what I mean though. 4:38 AM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hambleman
@hambleman …luckily even if you have 1200 followers people on twitter very rarely actually read other people’s tweets! 4:37 AM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hambleman
@hambleman oh yeah; well corrected. :-) 4:36 AM May 28th via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to hambleman
