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! :-$

    • Two wrongs might not make a right. But the two wrongs could at least be of equal value before we get too judgey    paying an estate agent to deal with all of the admin on my to have the estate agent not point out all of the admin  vs Deliberately hacking into an MPs email. And boasting about it (Badenoch)    as for throwing a local estate agent under the bus, when did local estate agents become the good guys?   doesn’t sound like estate agents are being thrown under a bus - they are fessing up. And Reeves doesn’t look to have done anything wrong  yet people will still believe the worst anyway    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/oct/30/rachel-reeves-row-standards-adviser-looking-at-new-infomation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
    • Now who might that be?
    • Harvey and Wheeler in Dulwich Village? Only one I know… How can they offer to apply and never did? Surely; whether they are managing the property or not and with tech been so advanced I would have thought they would have been a couple of e mails sent as a reminder or, is it the Landlord’s responsibility to apply… Rental Law/ Bill has just come  into force  - can’t remember if it was this week or last and have been to busy to read.. However, will as assume it is not individual councils but all councils. Came up on Which on line.. Good point Jen Jen Jen - sure some knowledgable person on here can throw more light than I.
    • Does this mean then that anybody who rents out their home in East Dulwich needs one of these licenses? And does everyone of these landlords have one?
