23:44 On the NYSE maybe. Not elsewhere. RT @Deej_Winning: Today, Manchester United becomes the first Sports team to be publicly traded. $MANU #
23:41 Manchester United shares $MANU have just commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange. IPO price was $14 #
22:54 I still think Istanbul should get the 2020 Olympics #
22:52 current medal count of the 2020 Olympic bid nations: Japan (Tokyo) 5-14-14, Spain (Madrid) 2-7-2, Turkey (Istanbul) 1-0-1. #london2012 #
22:30 ROFL RT @darrenrovell: 9.4% of the world's population is said to be fans of Manchester United. Sounds high, but that's what they say. #
22:03 The @hockeyroos finish 5th, and thank you to everyone who corrected me :) #london2012 #hockey #
21:59 @profsarahj oops yes. It's the @kookaburras who will be playing for bronze. I'd still prefer hockey to half the other Olympic sports any day #
21:54 as the @hockeyroos close in on a bronze medal, #ch9fail takes us back to the ribbon-twirling. #london2012 #
21:44 The IOC has missed a great opportunity by not putting open-water swimming in the Winter Olympics. #london2012 #
21:37 Thank God It's Friday RT @bernietb: Any boss who sacks someone for not turning up to work tomorrow is a bum. #Antwerp1920 #
21:35 ah isn't it great to see ch9 taking the BBC feed as they go straight to interviewing the GB silver medallists. #london2012 #sailing #
21:33 Sailing 3, swimming 1. #london2012 #
21:32 Huh? What? #london2012 #470class #
16:25 So this is what the outside world feels like today. #
13:53 RT @greens_bel: Botany Council spruiking the self-managment and absence of EFA democratic processes as "saving its citizen's money". #
13:51 80K tweets per minute for Usain Bolt's 200m. http://t.co/aE9mLOUo (I noticed far fewer Aussie tweeps online than for the 100m.) #london2012 #
13:31 and then there are councils such as Botany Bay and Fairfield which have decided to manage local democracy for themselves #
13:26 funnily enough, the NSWEC website http://t.co/CvwRs5gu is more informative about its council elections than the Australian Election Company #
13:21 The Australian Election Company, running local govt elections for 9 councils mostly in the Hunter Valley / North Coast http://t.co/rLPAzg12 #
13:18 When did local govt elections get privatised? Some are run by the NSW Electoral Commission, others by the "Australian Election Company" #
13:02 And as an Andre Rieu concert begins on #SBS1 I can happily switch the television off till this evening. #
12:56 The USA has a National Texting Championships? And why is this news in Turkey? #sbs1 #
12:53 Easy: Olympics. MT @newmatilda: Why did the Aurora killings get so much more coverage in the Aus media than the #Wisconsin Sikh massacre? #
12:20 For goodness sake, a device which forces Facebook users to express one type of opinion without giving alternatives is NOT free speech. #
10:06 another #london2012 blog post, another Bolt Report - http://t.co/VbcIuAla #
09:18 if I hear that replay of Rachmaninov drowned out by cheers and applause one more time I think I'll scream. #ch9 #london2012 #hulahoop #
08:37 @arwon I hope Barwick doesn't know about Hong Kong. #
08:34 That @WSJ item I just retweeted (http://t.co/svOSsHdY) is bylined Jared Diamond. It couldn't be... could it? #
07:00 Montenegro have qualified for the womens #handball final! Just beaten Spain 27-26. #london2012 #
