23:24 Conservapedia's #london2012 page is satire, yes? - http://t.co/k0aEcJY5 #
23:10 @Kimbo_Ramplin not half as much as the women's doubles I bet. #london2012 #beachvolleyball #
23:07 So has ch9 shown any men's #beachvolleyball yet? #london2012 #
23:06 Dressage is not an event to put on television when you're struggling to stay awake. #london2012 #liveanimalexports #
22:46 My #london2012 blog day 6 early edition where I mention table tennis and baseball (sigh) http://t.co/pUA78pqZ #
22:07 Must say I'm enjoying all the live-tweeting of the #shooting coming from India :) #london2012 #
22:03 Boom Boomers! 81-61 over China. #london2012 #basketball #
21:22 English-speaking southern hemisphere countries have done damn well today... well some of them have. #london2012 #rowing #
21:16 South Africa! What a great race! #london2012 #rowing #
21:14 hmm. #london2012 #rowing #
20:52 Day Five of my #london2012 blog featuring badminton, Brad Wiggins, and Boris - http://t.co/0dgbH2TV #
18:56 I just noticed that I was retweeted by Miranda Devine this morning #
18:49 Oi! England! Keep your shop windows off our Olympians! #london2012 #
18:45 Surely it would be more cost-effective for ch9 to broadcast the test pattern for 30 mins than put #ACA to air. Probably get more viewers too #
18:38 #ACA follows that with a blatant and totally irrelevant cross-promotion for 2WS's breakfast show #
18:34 And while we wait for ch9 to return to the Olympics, #ACA breaks the shock news that banks charge fees for ATM withdrawals. #
18:06 Well I must say that Campsie Station is nice and peaceful at this hour. #
17:58 Oh. This isn't the train I was expecting to be on. #
08:08 And here is the full list of the critics' top 50 films of all time. Mulholland Drive (!) is the most recent. http://t.co/1X4ufjeU #
08:04 Hmm. No film made since 1968 on the Sight and Sound critics' top 10 list. http://t.co/E4ILRLb4 #
07:56 Just catching up with the BIG news from overnight: Vertigo has knocked off Citizen Kane to be @SightSoundmag's no.1 film of all time. #
07:28 That was a great win by Nathan Adrian. Bad luck to Magnussen. Didn't Phelps come 2nd in similar circumstances yesterday? #london2012 #
07:06 Trying to imagine Frank Sartor doing all the stuff Boris Johnson has been up to this week. #london2012 #sydney2000 #
06:54 Ben Fordham on ch9 just said Australia is 1 gold 5 silver 2 bronze. The #london2012 app tells me it's 1-6-2. Who do I trust? #
06:28 Australia leads the medal count for nations with one gold medal. #london2012 #

22:58 I reckon I could play #badminton that well. And I would be trying. #london2012 #
22:29 just discovered that Yngling is no longer an Olympic event :( #london2012 #sailing #
21:39 Great race. Germany wins. If they ever slash the Olympic Games to ten events please keep the #rowing eights. #london2012 #
21:35 Yes it does help if I enable publishing before tweeting the link: http://t.co/O5xO0mAl #
21:28 Three Union Jacks at the medal ceremony. Two Southern Crosses. Australia, we really do need our own unique flag. #london2012 #rowing #
21:26 All rise for God Save Zara Phillips' Gran. #london2012 #rowing #
21:22 A blatant SEO-friendly guide to all my blog references to Michael Phelps over the past three Olympiads - http://t.co/O5xO0mAl #london2012 #
21:00 Did anyone come first?? RT @thetodayshow: Silver for Kate Hornsey & Sarah Tait in the women's pairs - fantastic finish! #london2012 #

19:23 A Horse's Birthday edition of my daily #london2012 blog - http://t.co/CtZnuySL #

18:25 From 2006, the transcript of @bobjcarr's interview for @ForeignOfficial with the late Gore Vidal. http://t.co/otG25DcF #
18:21 I really need to sort my digital TV setup #
18:19 Seven mins of Olympic news, some local stuff, today's Tony Abbott Says, a Youtube clip, then at 6.17 it's back to Kenny in London. #9newsat6 #
18:04 You'd think that when ch9 break away from the Olympics for News that they would show non-Olympic news #
12:41 Match-fixing controversy in Auckland #RugbyLeague after team guaranteed a semi-final spot loses game 102-0 http://t.co/VFgAvieu #
08:55 @JonnoDixon surely they'd need to rename the whole sport if they did that? #
07:42 No way. RT @sunriseon7 Michael Carr-Gregg believes there will be a total ban on social media at the next Olympic Games in Rio in 2016. #Sun7 #
07:15 @JonnoDixon that would be good then. But I was hoping for the wallavolleys #
06:50 Dave Zirin @EdgeofSports on the fracas surrounding Damien Hooper's T-shirt. #london2012 #
06:42 Majlinida Kelmendi, the judoka competing for Albania because the IOC doesn't recognise her native Kosovo - http://t.co/o79POXVa #london2012 #
06:32 Such a diverse continent of marsupials and Australia continues to mangle the word "kangaroo" for its sporting teams. #london2012 #
06:31 Some nicknames are best never invented. RT @ABCOlympics: The Volleyroos have defeated Great Britain in straight sets 25-15, 25-18, 25-20 #
06:15 Now this is where ch9 crosses to live and uniterrupted hockey, right? Right?? #
06:14 Learning the words to the Chinese national anthem is on my To Do list. Mind you, I struggle with the second verse of Advance Australia Fair. #
06:09 If Alicia Coutts was a nation she'd be level on the medal tally with Brazil and Hungary right now. #london2012 #

22:16 And what military defeat will Alan Jones equate with Victoria Na's elimination from the badminton? #london2012 #
22:14 I really really don't like this idea of swimmers being interviewed straight from getting out of the pool. #london2012 #
22:11 So a descendant of our beloved monarch has won an Olympic medal. #london2012 #liveanimalexports #
19:17 Agnel and Roberts tie for 3rd but hey it's a heat. #london2012 #swimming #
19:16 Call it treason but I'm going for Yannick in this heat. #london2012 #m100free #
19:07 "excuse me while I call this race in case you have an interest" How noble of you Rabs even if there are no Aussies. #london2012 #swimming #
18:37 Oops. #london2012 RT @Aggerscricket: Fallen foul of branding regs...brolly confiscated because it has a golf name on it. #
18:34 @Jono yes well that's a bit nastier. Unfortunately journalism-by-twitter doesn't pick up stuff that's deleted #
18:25 @Jono I haven't seen a mention of death threats in the reports I've read #
18:18 Hmm. How long have offensive tweets been a criminal offence in the UK? #
17:28 Make em take it now. RT @UNSW: Foundation day prank - media fooled by UNSW monorail hoax http://t.co/a2dW3IMM #

10:47 I'm eating a microwaved Four n Twenty spagbol meat pie. Desperate measures you know the drill... #
09:08 Ohn O. Controversy over the performances of Chinese swimmer Ye S. http://t.co/5OK90Sd2 #london2012 #
09:06 Personally, I think if you break your Olympic medal in the shower you should enter another event to get a replacement: http://t.co/TVZdykAm #
09:04 why does Mark Nicholas sound more like a jingoistic Aussie than any of the other ch9 #london2012 hosts? #
08:59 everybody's favourite Democratic People's Republic is currently 4th on the medal count! #
08:19 Austria beats Australia, or if you're following NBC, Australia beats Austria. #beachvolleyball #london2012 #
08:06 replugging my #London2012 Day 2 blog from yesterday now with added Coles commercial http://t.co/heBXuxNl #
07:39 at what point does a tied #beachvolleyball set go to penalty kicks? #
07:24 Boris will be horrified. Neither of the teams in the Australia v Austria game are near-naked! #beachvolleyball #london2012 #
07:23 Australia v Austria at the #beachvolleyball. Over at NBC someone's brain is exploding. #london2012 #
