Pickle Rick Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hello. I am thinking about joining Twiiter as a friend thinks I'd 'get into it' if I sign up... Anyone got recommendations? If I do sign on then I'd most likely follow things orientated around football. So any particular good ones to follow? I'd imagine specific people from BBC or Sky Sports?! Maybe also world news. Plus, are there any particular fun/novelty things/people to follow? Being 27, I'd say I'm just outside the 'norm' for the age group or generation of common followers on Twitter. So don't really see the benefits, perhaps I may if I sign up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghornred Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Twitter depends on who you follow how much you get out of it,for instance if you follow the City players that are on twitter they tend to give honest appraisals of games.

Red-Robbo Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 My advice would be remember your tweets are viewable by all - including present and potential future employers - and are there permanently. A friend of mine was suspended from her job at a London council after her boyfriend jokingly tweeted that he'd crap in her boss's handbag, and she said "go on then!"

And Its Smith Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 It's the Jew bit that is the problem rather than the black bit. I believe him when he says it was want to be anti racist. He's not the sharpest tool in the box and don't think he meant to be anti Semitic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 The writing in purple has been added after that original creation. Not necessarily by MB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Mum's also a Jew. He's an egomaniac who has seen the word 'Mario' and just had to retweet it. How anyone can take this seriously is beyond belief!

His parents are Ghanian. Anyone growing up in a Jewish family should know better than to propagate the "grasping Jew" offensive stereotype, but MB has about 5 braincells - and 4 of them are usually switched off.

Pickle Rick Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 This is true, but then you don't get many followers. As I wouldn't be posting updates, any purpose for me to have followers? I'd use it mainly for following sporting and world news.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that you get to read more stuff as followers retweet interesting things, and you pick up jokes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
