I signed up and started using twitter just over 2 years ago. My first tweet was that I was procrastinating. Perhaps not a lot has changed! But over these two years I have met some very very funny people who have said some hilarious and often profound things. Just thought I’d share some of my favourites. Not all of my favourites have been included, some for, er, reasons of public decency and some because they are there to remind me of links and the like. Some of these need to be read in context too (particularly the Olympic themed ones!) But sit back and enjoy- there are some very very funny people out there!
neuraxon77I don’t not believe in God, I believe in paradox. *wipes hands* That should cover (confuse) everyone…
