Three easy steps to winning Twitter competitions.

-

Today I should be calling businesses in the hope of selling a crappy e-newsletter sponsorship. Knowing that the only person dumb enough to say ‘yes’ would have to have had a full frontal lobotomy performed by a spastic at the wheels of a JCB. Sadly, this type of client is few and far between so rather than try I decided my day would be better spent entering lots of competitions on Twitter.

In my pursuit of twitter glory I learned there are certain rules you must abide by if you wish to win. Here is my Guide to winning competitions on twitter.


  • Firstly, you must react fast. Sometimes the competitions are time sensitive so you cannot be hindered by slow downloads or sluggish uploads. I advise that you avoid electro-magnetic fields which are proven to delay electrical impulses by hundredths of a millisecond. In addition to stepping away from the TV, Radio or the Rampant Rabbit you will need to wear natural fibres. Man made fibres collect static which can be also be hazardous to the speed of any winning transmissions.
  • Secondly, you need to find women who tweet about cat’s and follow them. These are exactly the kind of people who are likely to follow ‘Whiskers’, ‘Tena Lady’ and ‘Dairy Milk’. When they start Tweeting frenetically about some such shit product then you know it’s time to enter the competition and deny some sad slag of her reason for living.
  • Finally, you should make sure your twitter picture has your looking ‘Edgy’, ‘Bohemian’, ‘Scenester’ and ‘Shoreditch’. Given many Social Media Marketing Types are twats this will appeal to their shallow, vacuous small minds. When taking picture be sure not to smile as smiling will anger the SMMT who is more accustomed to pouting and desperately trying to look cool while reading chick lit wrapped in a Voltaire cover.

I hope these three pearls of wisdom put you on the path to winning all the crap your heart desires. By the end of this week you could have in your possession a £3 voucher for Euro Disney, a TOWIE signed calendar or a full month’s supply of heavy flow Lillets.

Good Luck

My Gay Inspiration

I am inspired by many great people and consider myself relatively well informed historically. I however am often at a loss to find a comprehensive history of major Gay historical figures. This is simply because from the start of the Christian era homosexuality has been frowned upon in most cultures of the world. It has been criminalised, ignored, wiped from the record and in some cases eradicated or imprisoned. Horrifically, after the Jews were liberated from the concentration camps of Nazi Germany many homosexuals forced to wear the pink triangle (pictured above) were re-imprisoned in Allied prisons. Because of this persecution and because of the ‘lost history’ I wanted to highlight three homosexuals who I believe have had a positive, lasting and inspiring effect on the world, (and me). Alan Turing Staying with WW2 and our battle with the Nazis I want first to look at a quiet mathematician from Maida Vale. During the Second World War at Bletchley Park we as a nation we

Family Circle Fan Letter

Dear Sir or Madam,   I am so excited to be writing to you. I really like the ‘clickity’, ‘clackity’ noise of the keyboard under my finger tips. However, I am surprised it’s not more of a ‘thub’, ‘thub’ sound because my keyboard is full of biscuit crumbs. I like your biscuits so much it makes me sad to think there might be a whole biscuits worth of crumbs hiding under the letters on my keyboard. In fact this is my reason for writing this letter today. Simply put, your biscuits are the best. They are one of the things that make me happy to come to work because my boss likes buying us biscuits for when we do well at stuff. I do well at stuff all the time so I can get more biscuits. I hate to have favourites because I think it shows favouritism and can make people sad. But biscuits aren’t people so it’s ok to have a favourite and my favourite biscuit is the Happy Face one. If biscuits were like people and had feelings I wouldn’t tell them because I like all the others too, an

London's Culinary Gem: Borough Market

Borough Market: est. 1758 Some would have us believe Borough Market is nearly 1000 years old, surely the oldest market in London? Official records are a little more conservative placing the origin (at the present site just off Borough High Street) closer to 1756. Either way we are looking at a Market steeped in London history and famous all over the world as a place to shop for unique gourmet foods. Borough Market: Balsamic Vinegars My first encounter at Borough Market was nearly six years ago; I took home two rich, mouth-watering Ostrich fillets from ‘ The Exotic MeatCompany ’, and I never looked back.  Since that culinary awakening I have tasted the finest Salted Caramel Fudge, the best syrupy Balsamic Vinegar and unforgettable Blueberry Saussison. The last few years have seen the traders shunted from one corner of the site to another while essential building takes place. The worst of the upheaval seems behind them now and the market is going from strength
