I love that cow up a tree in Docklands. Whenever I go watch the Sainters I always make a pilgrimage down at half time to say hello to the cow.

I feel like making Twitters friends was in the golden period before social media mutated into anti-social media. Most of the people I chat with over here are Twitter exiles I used to chat with over there.

Same meeting. Same outcome. Two very different headlines.

If there's one thing that's always bugged me about the internet its typography. The headline of this story in The Observer is a classic example. In the world of print that headline would all be on one line. Seriously how hard can it be?
