@stephentall’s weekly Twitter updates for 2011-07-01

A double dose of RIP: Peter Falk (aka Columbo) and Habitat (aka Where my bank balance goes). #
Just one more thing… So many memories of Friday afternoons at uni watching Columbo, post-tutorials. #saladdaze #
Something tells me I've just given into being middle-aged: I've bought a set of golf clubs. http://lockerz.com/s/113759225 #
@cjmillsnun Better than uphill all the way tho #everycloudetc in reply to cjmillsnun #
@phirewhorx Damn straight 🙂 in reply to phirewhorx #
@sarabedford I blame the parents 🙂 in reply to sarabedford #
@sarabedford 'Nuff respect. Does she still play? in reply to sarabedford #
Am curious: if Federer plays Murray, who will the Wimbledon crowd support? #
@saturngirl Well that at least makes 2 of us 🙂 in reply to saturngirl #
@nicola_prigg @mjryandaly You're probably right it'd be Murray. Very conflicted support tho. in reply to nicola_prigg #
Such a shame the smiley Cypriot Baghdatis lost to the grunty Serb Djocovic. That's #Wimblydone for the day. #
The Real Blog: The genius of the bank share giveaway http://t.co/0gQYQhd < good stuff from David Boyle #
So I have Olympic tix after all. Hadn't previously thought I'd be excited/relieved at spending £136 on hockey and volleyball. #
RT @LonWon Ah @LibDemVoice, the only political website this morning using the word "gerontocratic" < always first with the mot juste. #
Playing a game of cards where apparently I need to "commute the 7 to a horse in order to win 40". Am feeling out of my depth. #bloodyheat #
Sheffield Labour drops Lib Dem policy of extra pay for the lowest paid http://t.co/gMxt3uB via @libdemvoice #
Been at work all day. Return home to discover that Johann Hari is the new Ryan Giggs: something you only discover thru Twitter. #
@MatthewDoye Being misleading about provenance of a quote far more forgivable than misleading about quote itself (which hacks do every day) in reply to MatthewDoye #
Looking at it, I think (1) Hari's plagiarism mistakes forgivable (tho destroy his credibility), but… #
… But (2) the person who shd be sacked is the Indy editor: parading Hari's excuses on front page deeply damaging to paper's integrity. #
A good editor wd've taken Hari to one side while apologising to readers for accidental misleading. Kelner's mixed defensiveness & cowardice. #

RT @DavidAllenGreen Spot on RT @uponnothing: New Post: Johann Hari: not angry, just disappointed. http://t.co/fDAFSBJ < FAO @Simon_Kelner #
RT @EvanHD The @johannhari101 piece does not appear to be online yet. But he does not accept he engaged in plagiarism. < Sigh #denial #
Anyone able to update me on the Murray + Nadal scores? Can't get live updates but will be on Twitter… TY 🙂 #
@hmatthews92 Thanks! in reply to hmatthews92 #
Thx y'all tweeps for updating me on #Wimblydon scores. Much love x #
Just finished bowling game with 3 double strikes. This makes me happy. And probably annoyingly smug. #
RT @DavidAllenGreen: Oxford Uni is dropping the 'Oxford Comma' http://bit.ly/jNlFoH This is illiberal + shd not be allowed… » TESTIFY. #
A real-life action shot of me putting a mis-spent youth to practise: potting balls. http://lockerz.com/s/115392313 #
@helenduffett @DavidAllenGreen That's no way to refer to the Vice-Chancellor. #collectshisP45 in reply to helenduffett #
'Brian Haw: The voice of Parliament Square' http://econ.st/kOQ6Yo via @theeconomist < supremely good obituary. #
