"Too many tweets makes a twat" - David Cameron

I've started using Twitter again. I'm not going to go into detail as to why I stopped, but it's the same reason one evening virtually my whole blog had to be deleted until it was 'clean'.

I'm not really sure about the true merits of Twitter and how powerful it can be, but it's quite fun and more often than not is good for comic one-lines (something Keith '@thekeithchegwin' Chegwin knows a fair bit about).

Something I've not got the hang of, is the tagging/hashing that occurs and can develop a 'trend', although one of my favoured pastimes is to create the most comic ones...purely for my own entertainment. Sad I know.

Anyway, just to make this post of some use to the already pitied reader, if you're on a Mac you can get the hash key by holding Alt and tapping 3. I didn't know that and had to google it. #Happyhashing

I'm getting fed up of people constantly blaming the state for society's woes. This might sound like a big push for the Big Society, but it is time for people to take some fucking responsibility.

The horrible case of this girl being starved to death is 100% the fault of those who were supposed to be caring for her, i.e. her parents. They are disgraceful people who should be locked up for the rest of their lives, without doubt, and that's the end of the pandering to the softy softy moral high ground.

We are so lucky in this country to have a welfare system, which picks up the majority of people when they fall down, whether it be the jobless, ill, poverty stricken, etc. We can't use that as a scapegoat when society gets lazy, pathetic and dependent on the state.

Words I hate:

"Vino"
"Cute"
"Hun"
"Fancy"

Spent Friday night at Newmarket races with a select few. Awesome night.

Nice to know SOME important people read my blog

Hat tip to Vince Cable, who I get the train to Westminster with on some mornings.

Some of the ideas on the Spending Challenge website are an absolute treat!

Been quite serious of late so here's a pic of Holly Willoughby.
