OK, I now so want one of these handy household gadgets. http://tr.im/kjYI I’ve thought of six uses already.
@JonoH Cool, I hadn’t known of Télécoms Sans Frontières before! http://tsfi.org/ More for disaster relief th#secretmissionion but worthy!
@ragnarok1971 It was indeed a wonderful evening. Most of us survived.
@kcarruthers Nous avons expliqué le chien pour les chats à l’aide de poissons. Les poissons semblent résoudre la plupart des félins crises.
@JonoH What’s TSFI? #secretmission
@SnarkyPlatypus Mon foie sait où vous habitez.
@kcarruthers @SnarkyPlatypus NOBODY TOLD ME THERE WAS A TRAMPOLINE! Was that before or after I called our host’s husband a Fascist?
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour Le scénario du chien est maintenant sous contrôle. Mon foie se développe pour remplir tout l’espace disponible.
@JonoH O hai! I discover my #secretmission destination on Tuesday. Kenya, Sierra Leone or Tanzania. I dunno what they already have.
Oh der. Here’s Telstra’s pricing for Iridium satellite phones and plans. http://tr.im/kjMh I shall have to explore further.
@alanjlee Depending on #secretmission requirements, I may well be well beyond any kind of mobile coverage.
@mpesce Yes, those rocket cars http://tinyurl.com/cm3729 are very like the other rocket cars except with added David Bowie. “Zoom”, they go.
Oh. And @kcarruthers too. I think she managed to escape with her life and significantly less dog.
@FiBendall & Duncan are to be blamed for a wonderful evening w@Scott_Drummondmond & @Buckyboip; @buckybo@ApostrophePongamp; @ApostrophePong. I think.
@SnarkyPlatypus Hang on. Wait there. Imagery floods! The Veronicas’ fan fiction? Whoooooooeeeeeeeeeee!!!1!!11!
Mon plan: An intense day of detailed financial paperwork, which must be filed at day’s end; in response, a quiet evening of collapse.
Sen Kate Lundy’s forum “High Bandwidth for Australia” is in Canberra this Thursday. http://tr.im/knjk Hat-tip @piawaugh.
@GreenJ You may want to read Tom Connell’s feature and pass it on to Mr Beecher: it mentioned Crikey. http://tr.im/kniq
Tom Worthington: “Defence needs a plan for the Internet age” http://tr.im/knhG
@SnarkyPlatypus C’est une honte que vous êtes un seul enfant.
Also, why does Google Translate not know the word “assplode”? It’s meant to be all modern and stuff!
@SnarkyPlatypus Yes, yes, “Flowers in the Attic”. http://tr.im/knh6 It’s too early in the day for teen incest. Even for me.
New blog post: “When the last ink’s dried” Student journo Tom Connell’s feature on future of newspapers. http://tr.im/kngA
@SnarkyPlatypus La collision de l’ensemble de ces concepts a été insupportable. Ma tête assplose.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Tout est parfait en tout. Le médicament est efficace. Et vous, ma fleur spéciale?
@jdub Wow! You guys HAVE been busy on the weekend! http://tr.im/kn31 Missed one. http://tr.im/kn3a But, wow. I do live the new Crikey site.
Emerges.
@SnarkyPlatypus Can I suggest a possible future?

London’s Tower Bridge (yes, a bridge) is on Twitter at @TowerBridge and it seems to lead a boring life.
@SnarkyPlatypus Ah, that explains why I always find your computer weird and irritating to use.
@SnarkyPlatypus Um, surely you’re running OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? Aren’t you?
@SnarkyPlatypus @thetowncrier You two just demonstrated the entire point of Twitter just there, then. Immensely good.
@deconstructo I’m sure the Metropolitan Community Church IS into torture. Have you been to Manacle on a Sunday night?
@ragnarok1971 Oui, that little tid-bit is amusing, if severely geeky. ;) http://bit.ly/j2F79
Evangelical Christians lead the way: The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support torture. http://tr.im/kl24
RT @AmyPretzl: “Africans must travel to the moon to investigate what developed nations have been doing in outer space.” http://tr.im/kl1h
@acatinatree The @SnarkyPlatypus advises me that the “film” was an epic created specifically for Ms Abdul’s wond’rous musical creation.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. http://tr.im/kkS3

@firstdogonmoon You need to see this cartoon. Need. Need. http://tr.im/kkMu
Cool, this is a different kind of pain now.
Ouch.
I’m leaving now, before Australia introduces Thai-style lèse majesté laws.
@julie_posetti How about: “I think the Governor General would get better media coverage if she minged it up a bit”?
Mobile (slowly). Enmore Rd / King St / @SnarkyPlatypus / gym / uncertainty.
@SnarkyPlatypus “To minge it up” is a verb that needs to be used more in everyday speech.
@SnarkyPlatypus Before you depart, you should listen to what Britney really sounds like. http://tr.im/kkb4 Hat-tip @theinquisitr.
@mpesce Your picture-posting app says you’re in Võru Vald, Estonia. FAIL.
@SnarkyPlatypus Candidate Horsley also has a shed. Don’t forget the shed. That’s almost always a sign of a balanced mind.
@SnarkyPlatypus What’s wrong with a harem of mule mistresses? Oh, I no longer smell of dog. Noticeably, anyway.
“Georgia Governor Candidate admits sexual history includes mules, watermelon” http://tr.im/kk2P Hat-tip @theinquisitr.
@SnarkyPlatypus Your comments are deliberately designed to provoke controversy. I won’t fall into such an obvious trap.
