RealTimeWWII: Livetweeting the Second World War, as it happens on this date and time in 1939, and for 6 years to come.

Well worth following.



N.B Stew and Tyrone's Own should wait a couple of years before following.

Indeed it is. I have widgeted it to the wife's school history blog. Even the schoolchilder seem to be interested in it.

Follow the Amazon Twitter this week for updates on their 'Black Friday' sale which is going all week.

I tweeted the Ulster Council last Friday asking what the McKenna Cup draw was, they still haven't got back to me! I didn't realise it was such a secret.

I think I will set up @hardyisahumpycunt. What do people think?

[Puckoon]

Some people might be afraid to add it to their favourites.

I think I will set up @hardyisahumpycunt. What do people think?

I'd say they probably think I am. But you can tell them how wrong they are.

No?

Stop asking us banal questions.

Banal is a great word, wasted on what it's used for.

It really pisses me off how up their own arses Celebrities are.

I joined twitter about 3 weeks ago and twittered about 100 celebs. I focussed mainly on John Cleese and sent him about 500 tweets in 2 weeks. Never ONCE did he reply. Yesterday I told him 'Hi John, just up. Had a shower and now eating Cheerios in my boxers. What you doing?'. Now, that doesn't ask for much like. I didn't ask him something personal or for money etc. He NEVER replied. Stuck up b**tard.

Demi Moore is another. I asked her about Ghost and if she thinks Patrick Swayze is watching her right now or even in the bed at night etc. No reply. Only once did someone reply. I asked Cheryl Cole if she thought Kant's ideas on utilitarianism were outdated and in fact insulting to modern society. She replied 'no'. Fair play to her.

Brilliant as usual Olly.

[Hardy]

Indeed. Excellent.

Olly's humour reminds me of what the likes of Curb our Enthusiasm and Ricky Gervais are trying to do. The difference is, those people (who get paid for it) simply play out the same scenario over and over in different situations and forget the main point of humour - it's supposed to make you laugh. Or at least smile.

Olly never repeats himself. And the crucial difference - he's funny.

O'Neill is naturally a funny guy.

It's excellent thanks for the tip off

From today, what an absolute **** that Captain Kennedy was, who the f**k did he think he was to play God with his crew's lives?

Is there any legal or moral complications on twitter, if you want to report any news eg. From your local GAA club/uni/local businesses/local area etc?

Someone mentioned this to me as a way of promoting local business/local events/news etc from their local area, through Twitter. I said it seemed a good idea but wasn't sure if there would be any issues with doing so.

Any thoughts?
