Chicken nuggets

  • Snowing like crazy in Brighton. Muggins here left the washing out. The sun was cracking the pavements here yesterday. It’s the End Times! #
  • Blimey, it’s put down three inches of snow in two hours. #
  • I take it back about not watching the Olympic torch - it’s bloody gripping television. #
  • You have to admit, it’s a glorious spectacle watching all those coppers protecting a glorified fag lighter. #
  • Dear BBC, please stop talking about the Olympic torch LIKE IT’S A BLOODY PERSON. IT IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT HAVING A LUNCH BREAK. #
  • This just gets better and better - the torch is now being carried by THE SUGARBABES on a BUS. You can’t get more Olympian than that. #
  • Bloody hell! Look what’s happening now: http://is.gd/4n3 I thought this guy was supposed to be against repression. I’m really disappointed. #
  • Nice to see us paying tribute to the Chinese junta by laying on thousands of policemen just itching to hit something. #
  • Ha! Konnie Huq says the Olympic ideals transcend money! So Somalia will be putting the games on soon will they? #
  • What a farce. The torch now has a three-ring protection. Or should that be three-ring circus? Anyone know if this is on Chinese state TV? #
  • Hey! It’s Denise Van Outen! Drink Coke everybody! #
  • Well, at least Gordon didn’t touch the torch. That would have been terrible. #
  • If JFK had had as much security as the Olympic torch he’d be alive today. #
  • Dear BBC, they are not ‘anti-’ Chinese protesters, they are ‘pro-’ Tibet protesters. Get it right, you sound ridiculous. #
  • Can I just ask - what is it that makes us happy being the world’s wanksock? #
  • Gordon wants kids to be military cadets. It can be educational. I met a bunch at a party once. They taught me the words to ‘Her Dicky Dido’. #
  • New Labour should recruit whoever’s running the Met’s propaganda today. It’s a brilliant counter-offence against reality. #
  • Yay! The torch is back from ‘its’ lunch break. I hope we find out what it had. Smoked salmon? Devilled kidneys? Wood-fired pizza? #
  • This one’s for all you appeaser of tyranny out there: http://is.gd/4nq #
  • Christ, this torch relay is starting to look like the Alamo. #
  • Are you watching The Rest Of The World? The bar has been set. Makes you proud to be British. #
  • It’s the main story on CNN, Reuters, El Pais, Le Monde, La Repubblica… #
  • God, Duncan Goodhew is a whining little appeaser. #
  • Let’s get this straight. IT’S A BLOODY FLAME. Pushing old ladies and rubgy-tackling protesters on concrete = the fire is ’safe and secure’. #
  • Does anybody know how I get a police escort for my cigarette lighter? I don’t care who gets hurt but my mate across town needs a light. #
  • While we were watching combustible gas being carried through London: http://is.gd/4oy #
  • Sod it. Beer. #

    That wasn’t twittering, it was top-notch liveblogging. Don’t undersell yourself.

      Precisely, I’m frequently using Twitter to liveblog stuff from now on, very convenient. I messed around with it Thursday to do Question Time, and set LoudTwitter to have a specific before/after intro and concluding para, worked quite well I think.

        I wouldn’t buy you sight unseen, even if I hadn’t seen your site.

        I wasn’t born yesterday.
