I’ve resisted the temptation to find out what Twitter is because email and blogging provide more than enough opportunities for work avoidance activity.
But Inventory 2 at Keeping Stock has joined up and discovered he’s being followed by a Labour MP.
Maybe the phrase you can choose your friends but not your relatives needs to be updated to cope with the modern world of instant communication: you can choose your friends but not your relatives nor your followers.

You’re not suggesting that Clayton Cosgrove and I are friends are you – puh-leeeeaase!
I2 – it’s possible to be friends in spite of political differences, but you can relax, I was putting him in the category of a follower who, like relatives, you might not choose.
We’ve attracted another follower – Cunners!
