21:59 Great win to the Blues (and so happy that domestic 50 over #cricket is back) - http://t.co/2Z4wMu0U #gotheblues #
21:26 Ironic concept. RT @tehelkadotcom: The #ThinkFest 2011 Twitter Handbook http://t.co/T4Sv3G1E #
21:15 1 passenger down 257 to go. MT @QantasAirways: @stephenfry Apologies for the delay Stephen & thanks for keeping your sense of humour... #
21:10 (speaking as someone with a long memory of being on the rough end of the Fraser Govt's IR pineapple) #auspol #qantas #sorryforthemetaphor #
21:05 Just curious... but has anyone in the media sought Malcolm Fraser's take on the #qantas imbroglio? #auspol #
16:54 So if Twitter is anything to go by, this Qantas plane stuck in Dubai had only one passenger, a chap called Stephen Fry. #
14:31 The (wrong) Dax are down! RT @ashermoses: Hackers mistake rugby club for stockmarket http://t.co/GGIJWXXd #
13:13 @InsideCricketOz Warnie? 2 games? 8 overs? 48 deliveries? Really?? #cricket #bbl #

23:12 We know this is just the tip of the iceberg, don't we? Good night. #cricket #spotfixing #
22:09 #cricket #spotfixing RT @pkelso: Full transcript of sentencing remarks from Mr Justice Cooke here http://t.co/I9rE5BP1 #
22:04 Good to see, however, that News Of The World will not be refunded its entrapment outgoings. #cricket #spotfixing #
21:54 A chilling moment for #cricket as three internationals are sent to jail. And they're just the buggers unlucky enough to be caught. #
21:45 How would you be feeling right now if you're a player whose has (so far) escaped undetected? #cricket #spotfixing #
21:40 How can a suspension from playing be used to mitigate a custodial sentence? #cricket #spotfixing #
21:17 #spotfixing is the hashtag to watch right now. Sentencing imminent. #cricket #
20:42 So the word is that Shane Warne is coming back to bowl anywhere up to 36 overs this summer. #cricket #bbl #
19:49 *cough* RT @CricketNDTV: No match-fixing exists in Indian cricket: Jaywant Lele http://t.co/iY6hEnEQ #cricket #
15:03 Actually, it's not Play School up first on #abc1 at 3pm, but @alboMP's favourite interviewer Hoot. #
14:07 #ABC1 showing Senate #qt. TAbbott can't apply the Play School gag to a govt reply to the customary 2.49-ish censure motion. #auspol #
12:20 So no PJK for #qanda. No surprise really... Where would they find the room for his ego alongside five other panellists? #
10:26 You'd think the Government could come up with a more original abbreviation for the National #Water Account than NWA. #auspol #
08:14 How did Kim Kardashian slip into Australia without being packed off to mandatory detention? #
07:06 The Australian government needs to act immediately to secure a compromise and have Julian #Assange extradited to Ikea, Tempe. #
06:27 Long to rain over us, God save our weather! #

16:53 #figs #occupylamanstreet RT @nswpolice: #Newcastle police operation ends http://t.co/hfRnvPw6 #
15:54 *cough* RT @CricketNDTV: Spot-fixing will never happen again in Pakistan cricket: Ijaz Butt http://t.co/vVi3Fnrw #cricket #
14:59 Question Time should be a privileged hour of Federal Parliament reserved for that purpose only. Is that too hard a concept to deal with? #qt #
14:04 Cardboard Imitation Grit #budgetwesterns #
13:46 @mortonbaypig it's hardly a backstreet of Newcastle! The real story is the dysfunctionality and infighting within the Council over the figs #
13:31 You have to wonder why the national media havent latched onto the madness surrounding #Newcastle's Laman St #figs. Live tweets from @bensmee #
13:08 Brilliant. Poignant. Brilliant. RT @firstdogonmoon: Today's first dog on the moon cartoon is free [Poetry Alert!] http://t.co/dnYnIs4L #
11:57 Twitter is a live medium. Live tweeting of live radio is reasonable. Carry on, Mr Scott RT @EllyfromOZ: @abcmarkscott Hey! Spoilers sweetie! #
11:53 RTA's merger forces NSW #cricket team renaming. - @CricketNSW media release: http://t.co/0M9aBLct #
09:45 Gmail is trying to tell me it has a "new look". Having experienced the "new look" of Google's Calendar and Reader I shall ignore. #
09:22 Vindication for the NOTW? Analysis of the #spotfixing verdict by the Guardian's Owen Gibson - http://t.co/ZUVahBYp #cricket #
07:44 Irony. It took an unethical act of journalism to expose the first corrupt act in international #cricket to lead to a criminal conviction. #

19:32 @Kosmikray or close all the schools without warning #

15:33 Quentin Bryce is not living up to the benchmark set by John Kerr in 1977. #melbcup #
15:31 Typical. Google "upgrades" my Reader while I'm distracted by the Melbourne Cup. #
15:11 Breaking news: 22 horses fail to win #MelbourneCup. Just not sure which 22. #
12:16 Adieu. RT @Ten630: Hi all, we'll be shutting this account down soon. For news updates, please follow @channeltennews and @theprojecttv #
11:40 My tip for the #melbournecup: If you don't follow the ponies 363 days of the year, don't pretend to be an expert for the other two. #
08:28 Newslocal being, just like the NIV Bible, a Murdoch subsidiary. #

20:01 So will #abc730 go for the Alan Joyce hat-trick tomorrow night? #
19:26 I wonder, if #Qantas and not Emirates had been the major sponsor of the Melbourne Cup.... #
16:01 I'm sorry @avaaz, but your latest anti-Murdoch campaign over the Australia Network tender is based upon simplistic, erroneous tosh. #auspol #
15:33 Lead story on the @ajenglish bulletin now on #sbs1 is #qantas (presumably this 3.30 screening is on 30 mins delay?) #
10:58 The Daily Telegraph has given yesterday's #RyobiCup game between @CricketNSWBlues and Vic half a column 8 pages in from the back. #cricket #

10:39 I've noticed #Cricket South Africa's Facebook address painted on the ground at some ODIs. Surely a waste of valuable sponsorship potential? #
09:26 I like this. #nrl #cricket RT @dirtytackle: Mexican club replaces players' names with Twitter handles on back of shirts http://t.co/jemk6p6r #

Robert Burns and I send our regards for All Hallows Eve

Upon that night, when fairies light
On Cassilis Downans dance,
Or owre the lays, in splendid blaze,
On sprightly coursers prance;
Or for Colean the rout is ta’en,
Beneath the moon’s pale beams;
There, up the Cove, to stray an’ rove
Amang the rocks an’ streams
To sport that night.

21:28 Is it just me, or are the "any chance of a RT" RTs becoming more and more trivial in nature? #
21:04 @idlesummers I'd like to take it a step further and have them elected for, say a four-year term. And give them a fancy name like "President" #
20:58 It would be better to change the Laws of Succession so that future successors to the throne are elected by the people. #CHOGM #
20:06 That's probably as good as a retirement announcement from international #cricket for Simon Katich. RT @SMHsport: m http://t.co/UlFmKZnV #
19:57 Ok, that disco is done. #
18:21 My pick for most appropriate horror costume of the Halloween Disco is the kid wearing Chelsea FC kit. (oh he's come straight from training) #
18:15 I've just been handed the Zombie Hannah Montana fright wig. Apparently one can't dance with it on. #
18:06 Halloween disco night at school. Rest assured my daughter is the only child to come as Zombie Hannah Montana. #
16:54 @ammynition Inverarity won't be as aloof or pompous as Hilditch. It will take time to see how he goes. Everyone seems to approve of him. #
16:18 @ammynition they could have come up with much worse. #
15:45 #cricket A correction from me: John Inverarity is 67, not 69. He turns 68 on January 31. #
15:10 And here's the @CricketAus announcement of Invers' appointment as full-time national selector http://t.co/780wwRPo #cricket #
15:07 John Inverarity new NSP chairman. Age 69 last played for Australia 1972. Coached quite a bit since. Hmmmmmmm #cricket #
14:59 #Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland is rated by @ThePowerIndex as 6th most powerful person in Australian sport - http://t.co/lOx12bvX #
14:45 #cricket Possible shock choices for new NSP chairman: Richie Benaud, Belinda Clark, Ross Edwards, Andrew Hilditch, CA's online poll operator #
14:39 #Cricket Australia has named as its chairman an ex-international... just. I think I saw every one of Wally Edwards' 68 Test runs in 1974. #
14:32 Remember when the Hong Kong Sixes had a weekend to themselves in #cricket's quiet month of October? They're on now. @CricketHK has updates. #
14:27 Or to rephrase that last question: #CHOGM had an opening ceremony? #
14:26 What? They held the #CHOGM opening ceremony and I missed it? #
11:11 @pratyushkh the two-letter domains used by short URL services these days bear no relation to the country of origin, like t.co bit.ly wp.me #
