...........this Twitter fad.

This from the BBC: Peter Reid says on Twitter, 'can't wait for Celtic v Juve.'

So, if I get up tomorrow and write on Twitter, 'going for a shit and then making a cup of coffee to drink on the balcony with a smoke and the Private Eye Crossword.' will anybody read it??

Well I really wouldn't care but it seems that journalism is now dependant on fucking Twitter now which is a bit sad.

Anyway, 'bar full off piss artists and fit Russian dancers from Blanca, so getting another beer #fucktwitter'

Instant civilian news I can understand Mr John.

But the British press seem to rely on it now. That seems like the end of objective journalism to me and I find that sad.

Unless it takes Murdoch down and then I'll reconsider.

But now you can get prosecuted for what you say on there it's also tainting traditional policing.

Personally, I'll never go near it. After cameras, number plate recognititon, the gyp you have to go through for a passport or a visa for your rass, well fook that. It's not like it's a nice place to go,is it??

Thatgadgie Orwell was spot on.

I'm not even sure I want instant civilian news from trouble spots. I've only got so much concern to go round.
