Well… it all started out well… but then Salvador Dali came to visit me with a bottle of Rioja, naturally, and I found my Twitter posts being done by a monkey… well…. a rather sophisticated gorilla with a cultured approach to life as it happens. He even has his own Twitter account.
Nick Holmes is to blame. He has encouraged lawyers to Twitter and Tweet. I am now kept fully informed of what fellow UK Blawgers (or some of them) are doing through Twitter. I can report – not much work! A small selection of twittering for your delectation and delight…..
Geeklawyer wants to hire a monkey because they are not governed by the minimum wage legislation. Nick Holmes asks me if my monkey is called ‘Rioja’…. I call him ‘Tempranillo’… the monkey that is, not Nick Holmes and Martin George is taking a very stern line on people using Twitter to advertise. I’m afraid that Tempranillo read Martin’s post on Twitter, thought advertising was a bloody marvellous idea and has, since, been out and about with a sandwich board promoting my blawg and Twitter. John Bolch, of Family Lore, has gone AWOL from dealing with family law cases and is wandering if my monkey likes cats. And Infobunny, probably the most subversive blogger on Twitter, is launching a “harass a monkey” campaign.
As the sun sets on this proud nation of ours, know this… that we are doing our duty, we are talking complete nonsense to each other – and, yet again, it is possible that some serious US blawgers may just stand there shaking their heads and wandering how Britain does it.
subversive maybe, but everyone loves the bunny.
