22:33 Shocking news from South Africa, a fatal stampede of prospective students enrolling at the University of Johannesburg - http://t.co/0SPUZwba #
21:28 @Kimbo_Ramplin they could do far worse! #CantonaforPresident #
21:27 The French Republic?? When I saw Eric Cantona was running for president I thought it must have been the French football federation. Geez. #
17:42 The random Bindi Irwin observation refers to her new show on #ABC3 in 2012, btw. #
17:40 The good old days of the South Australian Open live from Memorial Drive on Christmas Eve in front of a crowd of 3. #
17:39 I miss the good old days when 7's Summer of Tennis would start in mid November. And still be going mid January. #
17:34 What.... Bindi Irwin is a teenager? #
17:00 So what was the correct context of Teresa Gambaro's remarks about immigrants? #auspol #
14:50 Even the inclusion of the line "I can see Russia from here" was hopelessly contrived in Alvin and the Chipmunks 3. #
14:41 #filmreview "Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked" Ghastly. Contrived. Even looks like it was shot on the cheap. Please no number 4. 3/10. #
13:19 Please, please let there not be a number 4. #
11:36 I am taking my daughter to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 3. I may be gone for some time. #
10:13 @CeBITAUS thanks for that. Looking forward to this year's event! #

11:14 I'm sorry, sir, but miming to Slim Dusty records doesn't meet my definition of busking. #
10:54 Mmm, breakfast! http://t.co/Ew3Cufba #
10:19 But hearing Savage Garden in this cafe reminds me that you don't have to be a busker to destroy all sense of musical taste. #
10:17 Even worse when you finally realise it was Crowded House's "Into Temptation" #
10:02 That moment when you can almost but not quite identify the song the busker is murdering. #
08:56 Well, look! @ian_turpie is on the twitter! #

Here again is my annual selection of the biggest stories in world cricket in the 2011 calendar year. Unlike all the media agencies whose end-of-year lists have to be finalised in early December to meet deadlines, this list, which I have compiled on an intermittent basis since 1996, doesn’t go to deadline until after the Boxing Day Tests were completed in Melbourne and Durban.

20:35 Ugh. #cricketmovies is morphing into #ALeagueMovies #
16:01 Impressed that a car rally staged in Argentina, Chile and Peru is still being named after the capital city of Senegal. #
14:23 Can "brady bunch" be used as a generic noun to describe two families of kids married together? Or have I just added to the English language? #
