Twitterarture
“Twitterarture” just popped into my head, a word to describe literature created via Twitter. Googled it, not a sausage, so I registered twitterature.co.uk, so at least I have that bagged to maybe develop something.
Now I will let the Grolsch carry on it’s work and wake up tomorrow and wonder what the bejasus I was on about.

Goodbye del.icio.us – hello diigo
Came across diigo this evening and am converted immediately. Waiting for del.icio.us v2 and not hearing much detail or eta. One of the main problems I have with del.icio.us is the lack of a facility to securely share bookmarks with colleagues, diggo takes care of that and a hell of a lot more, video here tells you all about it:
Bollox to the Sex Pistols – Here come The Specials
I have decided to flog my Sex Pistols tix, read a few recent reviews and decided that watching them wheeze around the stage is something I can well do without.
I turned 10 in 1980 and received ‘The Specials’ The Specials and ‘Madness’ Madness for my birthday, much more my bag and great to hear Terry Hall and the chaps have (as they all do at some point) put differences aside and re-formed: BBC Article
Looks likely that they will be playing dates in September / October, so the Sex Pistols tix are getting traded for something that will be much more relevant to my nostalgia bone.
Plenty of time to sort out a Two Tone suit, white shirt, thin black tie with Two Tone chap on and a pair of loafers, not forgetting the pork pie hat. Can’t wait.
Of course the very same year I turned ten, the Ska chaps influence began to be diluted when I went a bought “Ashes to Ashes” from Mere Green Records & Tapes. The last hurrah for my ska life being thrown out of Sutton Odeon for dancing in the aisles when 10 of us went to see “Dance Craze” a film celebrating the UK ska movement through live performance from The Specials, The Selector, The Bodysnatchers, Madness etc. Thrown out for dancing! FFS what were we supposed to do?
Proof that Ferguson and Bennet in cahoots
Deeply shocked to discover this, but seeing is believing and here is proof positive that Permiership ref Steve Bennet was in cahoots with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson @ Old Trafford last Sunday when Javier Mascherano was sent off for asking to go to the toilet.
Champions League 2008 Quarter Finals draw rigged?
The live Champions League draw @ 12:00 today gave us an all English clash between Liverpool and Arsenal.
Whilst trawling the Forums over @ the Liverpool Echo, came across this post where the exact draw was predicted @ 10:28 am this morning claiming that the draw was already done and dusted?
Replies to this post also claim that they were unable to place a bet on the result on the draw today, bookmakers not giving any reasons why.
Something smells, gonna check to see if they have the Gold Cup winner on there as well.
UPDATED: Article pulling together reaction and further details now up on the Liverpool Daily Post Site

Today marks the first anniversary of the takeover of Liverpool FC by George Gillett and Tom Hicks.. Liverpool Echo’s Tony Barrett examines the impact the American duo have had on the club over the past 12 months.
Great piece in the Liverpool Echo today, part 2 tomorrow 7th Feb.
Will Hicks and Gillette see sense and do one? I guess they will, if the price is right.
