John Birmingham Boarding A Flight
If you don't Twitter, this will make no sense to you whatsoever. For the rest of you - if you didn't catch it - here is writer John Birmingham tweeting this afternoon... Enjoy.
Gr8 day. Early mtg in Sydney followed by five hour lunch at Ray Hughes gallery. Too much wine food and art for words.
about 1 hour ago from web
Sitting in Virgin lounge, full of red wine and feeling quite well disposed towards the world. This is how I was meant to live.

Brilliant!
That pesky Gillman, delaying flights for all!
Great feed though, usually streams of consciousness on Twitter can be a scary event, but that was hilarious simply because we've all been there trying to fit in the last drink and stare daggers at the latecomers...or maybe that's just me. And Gillman.
No Ms Unreliable, it's a clear example of how much of a complete effing waste of time Twitter is if it's filled with the mindless triva of someone's everyday existence.
Geoffrey - you really think this is an exmaple of "brilliant" wit? Get a life mon!
Not quite sure your average young liberally minded Iranian would agree with you Lynden;

Don't tell you've been stuck in dark rooms again.
You didnt reasd my carefully worded comment properly, so I repeat with emphasis: "it's a clear example of how much of a complete effing waste of time Twitter is IF it's filled with the mindless triva of someone's everyday existence."
I dont see how iranian transmitting news of demos and militia beatings equates to John Birmingham-style trivia spasms
... but alas, I still found it enjoyable little read that only took a minute out of my day.
Twitter on!
