- RIP Amy Winehouse: tragic waste. #
- RT @lordbonkers Amy Winehouse: 1983-2011 – Telegraph http://t.co/8xz4vth via @Telegraph < 1983-2011: such a short span. #
- RT @mjryandaly @stephentall Does Lembit even have a chance? < Am not a Londoner, but my guess is not. #
- RT @sarabedford: I thought I was in strange position of agreeing with @IainDale but actually it was @stephentall 😉 http://bit.ly/qcUMEk #
- @sarabedford No, the idea's def bonkers, not you! Generally tho I was impressed by Simon's report. Sorry, The Hughes Report. in reply to sarabedford #
- @sarabedford Even the foreword only got to 'fifthly' rather than Simon's more traditional 'ninthly' 🙂 in reply to sarabedford #
- @MatthewDoye @sarabedford Very happy to look at data which can support the view 🙂 #justasking in reply to MatthewDoye #
- @MatthewDoye Have heard similar in past tho not convinced by methodology. Btw Simon not against i/views, but by 'professionals' not tutors. in reply to MatthewDoye #
- RT @piersmorgan: Since #unfollowpiersmorgan campaign was launched, I've added 500 followers « have unfollowed just for that. #
- Gorgeous sunset tonight over Oxford: here's our view over the dreaming spires (in the distance, honest) http://lockerz.com/s/123338619 #
- Good analysis > George Osborne does not have a plan B, but there is a plan A+ | Julian Glover http://t.co/jgb2DGp via @guardian #

- Just ordered 'Stick It Up Your Punter, inside story of The Sun' http://t.co/x6M8UqV. Enjoyed 'Tabloid Nation' a couple of years ago. #
- Interest in 'Stick/Punter' book sparked by comment in New Yorker piece on Murdoch (http://t.co/MB15abR): "Read now, it seems less amusing." #
- Worth a read: @guardian live-chat, 'Communicating the new course fees structure' http://t.co/2fmJJ77. Includes @UniofOxford's Pamela Flood. #
- Finally got round to ordering David Willetts' 'The Pinch' http://t.co/Jm1U4jF. He's politically naive but deserves to be taken seriously. #
- Speaking of Willetts, do read his LRB letter, 'Don’t look to the Ivy League' http://t.co/MFFITxB. A v good defence of Coalition HE policies. #
- Readers of http://t.co/qOxrpSk apparently "want to know more about: Force Factor, Maternity Scrubs, Headway Theme" says @apture. Odd people. #

- How we used to be > 'MTV Explains The Internet In 1995' http://t.co/yZ7d3UW #
- @CllrIainRoberts I was a late developer, think it was '97 the first time I "jacked-up on the information superhighway" as da kool kidz say. in reply to CllrIainRoberts #
- @CllrIainRoberts In '95 Oxford had 4% of UK web traffic. 25% of it was pron-related. So 1% of UK web traffic was Oxford pron-seekers. #myth in reply to CllrIainRoberts #
