Twitter: Follow Friday Expanded

Here is a guide to my twitter world partly to help beginners get envolved partly for fun. Sorry it's not very interactive or tidy

News/Politics
@r4today best news prog ever, also see @evanHD my favourite presenter and good tweeter
@CarolineLucas Green Party Leader, MP, liberal legend.
@krishgm Krishnan Guru-Murthy of Channel 4 news, a better tweeter than @jonshowC4

Cricket
@VaughanCricket Michael Vaughn, I didn't really like his public persona when he was England captain but now he is my favourite thing about Test Match Special, great banter and great cricketing insights, when he is in with @aggerscricket the whole world seems like a nicer place.
@Swannyg66 the best thing to happen to cricket since the Ashes '05
@AlisonMitchell part of the TMS team I think

Comedy etc

Hello, Neat post. There is an issue along with your site

your fantastic writing due to this problem.
