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! :-$

    • Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x
    • A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.
    • If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
