10 Random Twitter Annoyances

Twitter. It’s like eating a digestive biscuit. You can’t see it as one of life’s great pleasures but it’s better than nothing. It’s good to have it on in the background, like the radio, or the TV when Hoovering. It’s birdsong and the ticking of the clock, the old supplement from the newspaper you might pick up one day because you thought you might one day like to visit Ecuador/find out more about Hannah Waterman/take up Pilates. But by Christ there are some knackers on there and somehow they can be even more annoying on Twitter than in real life…
