21:56 @doggedtim tribute to bad fashion I think #
21:39 Why, suddenly, in 2012, has someone decided that there is a clash between the Essendon and St Kilda jerseys? #aflsaintsdons #

10:39 I see a rainbow. It's a circular refraction of light containing the colours of the, ah, rainbow. Thought I'd share that with you. #
10:10 @phmuseum there are days when I think that's still faster than wireless broadband #
09:56 But to repeat my editorial position on twitpicing: http://t.co/4uqW5SkO #
09:33 If Instagram wasn't so web-unfriendly I'd re-tweet the rainbow pic I took two months ago #
09:32 @savingourtrees and not only you :) #
09:19 Apparently no one in Sydney has ever seen a rainbow before. #

14:31 No wonder those chaps were so pleased. It is Corinthians' first win of the Copa Libertadores. They beat Boca Juniors - http://t.co/pKrT13IR #
14:17 I could hear the Corinthians fans a couple of blocks away. I wonder what pub they've landed in? #
14:15 Apparently Corinthians have just won the Copa Libertadores, which explains the procession I just saw headed towards The Rocks. #
14:12 No idea what this procession down George St is about. Has Brazil won the World Cup? http://t.co/HhOvUUmW #
12:07 Ha. RT @lyndalcurtis: Tony Abbott when asked about Clive Palmer: "that's yesterday's issue and I dealt with all of that yesterday. " #
