Does anyone here use twitter? The world and his brother are on about it at the moment.


www.twitter.com


I tried it this morning and found it quite possibly the most mind-numbing self-indulgent waste of time on the interweb. The idea of people writing a minor monologue of their lives every few minutes irritated me beyond distraction, and reading some bo11ocks about some Welsh cab drivers jaunt down to Costcutter to "buy a tin of beans" almost tipped me over the edge...


Felt good to get that off my chest. I hope I'm not alone!

I love Twitter. It is great fun. I get a running commentry from my chums all day on what they are up to and we make eachother laugh, because we are all encountering the same chaos and challenges...


Botox or not?

Munchkins behaving like angels...OHMYGOD

Puppy discovering his sexuality and defiling my carpet

Puppy eating bottle of pink food colouring and turning his fur cerise pink

Decorators hang wall paper in my living room and I find too late that it looks like a tribute to Coronation street

Discovering my house-keeper's acrylic multi-coloured underwear in my tumble dryer and it looks like the clearance section from TK Max (why was she washing it in MY HOUSE???)


It is a nice way to keep up with chums!

I don't mind it - more signed up to follow peeps than to expect them all to be hanging on my 140 characters.


It's like they've condensed FB to my favourite bits (the status comment) without all the bits that irritate me eg, all the quizzes/requests etc that go with it.


Instead on Twitter there are interesting things linked to especially by Stephen Fry and Ben Goldacre and its much more take it or leave it and don't get repeatedly reminded about it!


Wouldn't say its for everyone, but it's currently floating my boat! :-$

    • Does anyone know what local pubs/restaurants will be open this year for Xmas serving lunch? 
    • That’s interesting, Dulwich Dweller; my 70 yr old neighbour told me 2 weeks ago that he’d left work early to go and book in person (being uncomfortable with all the online & app stuff) and was explicitly told that he needed to go away and book online. He’s not the sort of person to be insistent and, like a lot of older people, a bit embarrassed at his lack of digital ability, so he left without the appointment . This is my point about inconsistency, since his experience was quite different from yours. I’m beginning think that it rather depends on who, at Reception, you speak to on day…
    • Wow, never had a disappointing meal there since they opened.. guess like every establishment, depends on the chef.. All for allowing an off day - good of you to post.. much better than chains - had awful service at Gail’s for eg..be it cake and tea or a meal.. They are so nice and accommodating..       
    • "I tried Viet Flavour and was disappointed.  Their summer rolls especially were not at all good, stodgy and flavourless.  Pho-OK.  I'm hoping it will get better " Back in June I posted as above.  I am glad to report that either the first time I went the restaurant was having an off day, or they have upped their game.  I ordered the same things.  The summer roll was exactly as it should be, and had a lovely dipping sauce. The Pho was delicious.  My brother who was with me wanted to give it 10/10 but I always think you should leave room for improvement so gave it 9/10.  Staff were lovely.  I am so glad because I love Vietnamese food and now think I have a very good one just round the corner.
