On the more interesting part of your post, I was at Bowentown for the long weekend, and also noticed many, many pre-filleted snappers washing up (around my ankles whilst I was surfcasting) and making the seagulls happy (and the surfcasters unhappy, all I caught was crabs ]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2009 21:21:45 +1200 davesparks https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/cracker-death-beach/?p=103639#post103639 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/cracker-death-beach/?p=103639#post103639 I've met some very nice people through twitter, with whom I have no other intersection or communication. And even made good business contacts that weren't the usual blog-driven yucky stuff.

And although the honeymoon is over I'm still there and working hard at being more interesting than my coffee consumption.…

Wait, that was a limerick. FAIL.

It was 163 characters, more to the point. Can I just reiterate my love of your Twitter Ate my 2008 post? It was worth coming up with the all wretched thing all by itself.

They got Robyn. She used to be so alive, so iconoclastic. Now she talks about making your own Twitter experience.

All this tells me is you're following the wrong people on Twitter.

Or, possibly, you and I have different ideas of what's boring...

@Richard – Tricky one that. Didnt want to give the impression that I was up north taking long walks along the beach by myself (while twittering about…

That probably sounded more snarky than I meant. Sorry!

Kinda sorta but not really :) I agree anyway, it's not particularly interesting, but I thought it was relevant after the last blog to point out that having signed up, I didn't become a convert. And I tend to find most…

Esp. the bit about 'Islam...Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy...and Bob the F***ing Builder'.

Sounds like you had a mint Easter though. Nice.

For me, I like the bridge over the toll road. It seems rather extravagant but probably is very worthy.

That's all I have to say today: I heart Aotearoa, and Twitter is a waste of time

I just realised what Twitter reminds me of. Dana Gould, lately of The Simpsons producing fame but at the time I saw him a fledgling stand-up comedian in Edinburgh, had this bit about…
