Saturday, May 30, 2009 7:20 | Filed in twitter
- RT: @chickyog Where has your party stood on hounding the ‘benefit cheats’ -or asking us to grass them up? http://is.gd/CDoO #sackdorries in reply to chickyog #
- @krishgm so far as I’m aware, she’s remaining on as his wife. I believe the de-selection process, should it be required, is called ‘divorce’ in reply to krishgm #
- @pekingspring not comic geeky enough to help MYSELF, but age/condition/comic titles would help those who know better… in reply to pekingspring #
- @pekingspring have a glance at http://comicbookrealm.com although you’ll need to know at least some titles to get an idea. in reply to pekingspring #
- @pekingspring oh, and if you have any Preacher, buy them yourself. Excellent stuff. in reply to pekingspring #
- @tom_watson any form of bullying where a cyberman is either the bully or victim. They can apparently be very biased against Gallifreyans. in reply to tom_watson #
- @pekingspring be flexible in price though: unless you have collectors, you might not sell them at “collector” price… in reply to pekingspring #
- @stephenlang reminds me of that Jimmy Carr joke… in reply to stephenlang #
- @stephenlang “big woman comes up to me after show and says, I took offense at that material - you’re fattist. I said, no, you’re fattest”. in reply to stephenlang #
- Found another random re-tweeter, for the word which involves theism, and is an anagram of ‘dog’. What is the point of these re-tweeters? #
- Question: is it a coincidence that the mate whos kids I am taking mine to play with tomorrow afternoon will have the toon match on? #fb #
- @jamescousins well, that’s one half of the experiment confirmed. I wonder if ATS and “god_loves_us” will end up RTing each other…? in reply to jamescousins #
- Can I just say: “Volle Kraft voraus”. Ah, German industrial dance music. You still cannae whack it. #fb #
- @jiminthemorning damn! - as you’re on in shropshire, presumably, not tyneside. Dig out some Die Krupps while you’re on, that man… in reply to jiminthemorning #
- Chinese bridge ‘jumper’ pushed off by passer-by. There’s helping, and there’s HELPING … http://tinyurl.com/qcpa4b #
- Heard a review of #nightatthemuseum2 on #bbc #radio5 said it was patchy, collection of set pieces strung together. That was being polite. #
- @mikepickard @cole007 oh yeah, it’s fine for the kids. But it’s still not a patch on NATM 1 which actually WAS a good film. in reply to mikepickard #
- @FlossieTeacake made mistake deliberately watching once, under impression ‘cool and cultish’, now think ‘nauseating, self indulgent & wanky’ in reply to FlossieTeacake #
- To be fair about #NightAtTheMuseum2, while it was mostly fairly crap, Hank Azaria’s high camp role as baddie Kah Mun Rah was a great turn. #
- @atwossybookclub any chance of a web page showing which books are on reading list? #
- Try NHS Behind The Headlines for the real science behind the media kill or cure news stories. http://tinyurl.com/d74rcv HT @bengoldacre #
- Can’t be TOO disappointed at relegation when exactly what the team deserved. Complete overhaul needed, after years papering over cracks #fb #
- I’m sorry, but who exactly said Newcastle was “too big to go down”? The premiership relegation zone is not a sieve! #toon #relegation #
- For goodness sake, relegation is not the end of the bloody world. You’re getting it confused with swine flu. #toon #relegation #
- Don’t you open that trap door, you’re a fool if you dare, Stay away from that trap door, cos there’s Barnsley down there. #fb #
- @jamescousins I don’t think it is actually God on twitter. I don’t think He has an account as such.
in reply to jamescousins # - @alncl well, at least Barnsley vs Newcastle will have a bit added spice next year in reply to alncl #
- @alncl was actually directed at a mate of mine* who had spent the last 5 years taking the piss (*the other barnsley fan) in reply to alncl #
- @pauloCanning because you like cats? in reply to pauloCanning #
- Think England might just sneak this one-dayer… #
- @jamescousins probably depends on what you’re doing with them. If you have one “councillor” and one “friends and family”, fine. in reply to jamescousins #
- @jamescousins alternatively, if you have “jim smith” as a second twitter account saying how great james cousins is, that’s a bit dodgy… in reply to jamescousins #
- @jamescousins There is also risk as elected official someone might interpret multiple accounts as dubious even if not intended as such. in reply to jamescousins #
- Finding #tennis somewhat distracting. May take a little break to watch the end of the #Murray game in the french open #
- RT: @bloggerheads Meet Billy Br*t (the racist sh*t) http://bit.ly/billybrit #theBNParetwats [props to @mrpower and @qwghlm for contribution] #
- Well done to both #Murray and Starace for some quality tennis. In my opinion, was won by Murray’s comeback in 3rd set: won 7-5 from 5-1 down #
- @bengoldacre for more Kadir-Buxton entertainment, see http://tinyurl.com/ok3h22 and http://tinyurl.com/qhpbd8 for the ‘Ted Heath Murder’ #
- @brucel well if “we” own most of it, then is it not “our” fault for not knowing better…? in reply to brucel #
- @realalereviews #champsleaguetipple most probably marston’s pedigree, but it depends what’s on at the pub so I don’t know yet! in reply to realalereviews #
- @StarsandSpace does she not realise that you’ve been missing US as well? in reply to StarsandSpace #
- @jiminthemorning you’ve got me interested - I’ll have to see if I can listen online… in reply to jiminthemorning #
- RT: @gavlp: RT @Chris_A_Smith: BLOODY CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE IT’S TAKEN DOWN http://bit.ly/rMW0d CASSETTEBOY IS CLASS! (via @jupitusphillip) #
- @bloggerheads funny… that’s exactly what tomorrow’s blog post was about anyway… in reply to bloggerheads #
- “God (Iehovah) is now following your updates on Twitter.” Beat that… #
- @bloggerheads hmm… you can’t touch this. in reply to bloggerheads #
- when @Iehovah quotes from bible shouldn’t he say “but I said you shall not eat of the fruit of the tree” rather than “but God said”? #
- As I have to say if @Iehovah is talking in the third person, I suspect He may not actually be an omnipotent deity after all… #
- @martinxo + is international dialling code not needed if within that country. Bit in brackets is local dial code (0), needed in that country in reply to martinxo #
- @pigsonthewing does it? (tests) http://news.bbc.co.uk/ in reply to pigsonthewing #
- @pigsonthewing …didn’t seem to… ? in reply to pigsonthewing #
- @jamescousins would probably provide an interesting contrast to the 97 one! I suspect it’s your “turn” next time… in reply to jamescousins #
- RT: @jamescousins: BNP candidate withdraws, had confused BNP with non-racist, tolerant, party. http://bit.ly/pRxLT (via @No2VotingFraud) #
- @stephenfry Ahah! Rodney Bewes, Bill Badger, Little Mo and Dave (Lee) Travis … obviously in reply to stephenfry #
- @pigsonthewing does it have something to do with the length of URL e.g. http://bbc.co.uk/football or http://tinyurl.com/q9wpow in reply to pigsonthewing #
- @pigsonthewing http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/counties/ (49 char) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/scorecards/ (51 char) in reply to pigsonthewing #
- @bengoldacre …and there’s some strange chap in the background taking a picture too in reply to bengoldacre #
- Wondering if sticking points (wage bill, transfer budget?) are too much for Ashley & Shearer. Ashley should remember last year’s mistakes… #
- “There’s been widespread condemnation of North Yorkshire’s decision to carry out underground nuclear test”: BBC R5 http://tinyurl.com/q29fxx #
- After Cheesus, Jesus has now been found in Marmite http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/8071865.stm #
- @goldfish snap! in reply to goldfish #
- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8072294.stm 1st boy #BabyBornOnUnderground Name suggestions please … #
- Pupil at Eton tests positive for swine flu. What’s the odds it suddenly becomes a headline again? #
- @charltonbrooker besides, Jesus wouldn’t appear in marmite, as marmite is undoubtedly the work of the devil anyway. in reply to charltonbrooker #
- #ratemyteacher but why shouldn’t people be able to publicly criticise a poor teacher? No-one is forcing the teachers -or pupils - to look… #
- #ratemyteacher although I do agree any un-corroborated allegations (i.e. not opinions) should be removed v. quickly (eg. within 24 hours) #
- @MissySimps how many people? Have you tried contacting people at the free NGI venue finder? http://tinyurl.com/nmcdgu ? #

- @stephenlang do you know, I’ve just worked out what #bgt means… in reply to stephenlang #
- @stephenlang it’s more “b.g. a whole bunch of people desperate to appear on telly”. Namely piers morgan and the other two… in reply to stephenlang #
- @aaronbassett it’s easy. We’ll start you off with this: http://bit.ly/134YZ0 in reply to aaronbassett #
- Watching this #tourettes documentary. Is quite interesting. #
- @pauloCanning yeah, but I also want to shout something sweary. Which isn’t as a piss take, it’s just making me want to do it… in reply to pauloCanning #
- @gavlp now that’s what I call “social” media vol 4… in reply to gavlp #
- @pauloCanning interesting. I presume we all have sometime compulsions to do/say/shout stuff but we filter them out before acting on ‘em… in reply to pauloCanning #
- @pauloCanning well, not ‘chicken’, but have you never felt the urge to shout at someone in the street, or clip them round the lug ‘ole? in reply to pauloCanning #
- Bit of a fail for @JuryTeam. Website down at time of party election broadcast. Shouldn’t they have predicted high demand? #

- @pauloCanning naah. I’ve met some quite aggressive (in a fighty kind of a way) gay blokes.Besides which, I don’t actually want to fight. in reply to pauloCanning #
- @pauloCanning …it’s like, have you never, when you’re stood on the edge of a cliff, had a (easily resistable) urge to jump off? in reply to pauloCanning #
- @pauloCanning …no? oh well, maybe it is just me then in reply to pauloCanning #
- @stephenlang so are you saying if you have dodgy locks you can get free new ones if you fake burglary, in the interests of crime prevention? in reply to stephenlang #
- @pauloCanning “I rarely blow off, when I have it’s had a major impact”. Now surely THAT is a gay thing. *puerile snigger* in reply to pauloCanning #
- @pauloCanning sorry, I never did get past that schoolboy humour stage… in reply to pauloCanning #
- @alncl suggest you raise support call with twitter explaining situation? in reply to alncl #
- @alncl ah no, looks like the follow limit is not adjustable - based only on people following you. http://tinyurl.com/77oywy in reply to alncl #
- @alncl presumably follow limit is a ratio of followers/following - if more followers, can follow more back. worth pruning who you following? in reply to alncl #
- @alncl suggests it varies but is 1.1 to 1 at 2000 followers. http://tinyurl.com/7hwv7a Although that may be a guess.. in reply to alncl #
- @jiminthemorning me+mate once won quiz spot £20 prize when thought we’d heard questioner read out answer but no-one else seemed to hear it! in reply to jiminthemorning #
- @cole007 you’d have to be an I D I O T to think that would work in reply to cole007 #
- @pauloCanning well, if you assume 15% are clean, that ought to keep us going until about september… in reply to pauloCanning #

- @alncl naah, at this rate, they’ll pass each other as Gateshead achieve promotion to league one… in reply to alncl #

This reads like hearing half a mobile conversation on a train!
What client are you using for this output btw, complete with link to status update?

Paul,
not sure what you mean ‘what client’ - it’s all done through the wordpress plugin “twitter tools”, rather than a specific twitter client…
Next week Trial [2] will try it without the replies and see if that looks any better. Although to begin it will have a certain FA Cup flavour…

Ah. I thought you might be cut’n'pasting from a web client or something.
I’ll alert dave as dumping tweets tied to events is something he’s done to produce a useful spreadsheet - made more useful if you have a link to a Twitter status update I think.
