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 #

10:49 The sort of quality local reportage from the Newcastle Herald that could never be done from New Zealand: http://t.co/xn1Fb7um #
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. #
08:37 I used to have one of these. MT @phmuseum: Ah the C64 cassette data reader. http://t.co/hTUaQEOL #

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. " #

19:50 What is this Rugby Onion of which you speak? #
19:00 "We're not looking at a Rolls-Royce type of Games if a Toyota-type will do." CGF President on #goldcoast2018 http://t.co/Ie9pvMX9 #

15:52 Scores. Were. Level. #

15:36 I am sure that in the game right in front of me I have seen the ball kicked once. GWS you have it all ahead of you. #
15:33 Some of these kiddies on the field at half time seem to think they're playing touch footy as in that other code #
15:22 Richmond really should be a lot further in front than this. 6.7 to 5.1 at half time. #aflgiantstigers #
14:21 Deleted that last tweet and I'll shut up now. Too cold to tweet anyway #
14:11 Game has begun. If Skoda Stadium holds 25k they'd be struggling to have 10,000 today. #aflgiantstigers #
14:09 Oh. Just realised the rugby league player is not out there today. #aflgiantstigers #
14:04 Da Giants. #aflgiantstigers http://t.co/NfAKD724 #

13:58 Waiting for the players. #aflgiantstigers http://t.co/lZwlxHuY #
13:48 Some partially-clad indigenous gentlemen are delivering the Welcome to Country as the rain eases to a drizzle. #

12:31 Currently 3/4 time in the NEAFL, Northern Territory Thunder 14.4 lead UWS Giants 9.10. GWS v Richmond starts abt 90 mins time #
12:29 And I think it's my first time inside Sydney Showground/Skoda Stadium since seeing Japan beat Australia in baseball at the 2000 Olympics #
12:26 Call it treachery if you will but today I'm at my first AFL game in *cough cough* years. Under cover thank you. #
12:25 Fish burger. Four, yes four, fish fingers with lettuce tomato and mayo for 8 bucks. @ ŠKODA Stadium http://t.co/9tPpSKVK #

It's amazing it's fantastic wherever there is rebel he'll be there

It's an unusual name but a great concept. RebelMouse launched recently and I have a cricket-specific page at rebelmouse.com/rickeyrecricket.

RebelMouse can, and has, been described as a visual mix along the lines of Storify, Pinterest and Paper.li all thrown together. Still in beta, but looks very exciting at this stage, so please check out my contribution as, and if, it develops.

That address again: rebelmouse.com/rickeyrecricket.
