I'm fairly new to Twitter and am still undecided about whether I'll stick with it or not.
It seems pretty good for stuff like cycling news as well as my other interests like birdwatching etc. So despite a thing called 'Über' constantly asking me where in Newcatle I want to go, it's been broadly a good thing.

I've also discovered that North Korea has joined Twitter, and a thing called the Korean Central News Agency, labelling itself as the official news feed for the country sends tweets. The thing is that the KCNA Twitter machine appears to have been taken over by comedians. I suspect it's a spoof - good though. Here's a few tweets just from the last couple of days...

Hunchon University agronomists breed five-legged donkey, saying future citizens will enjoy benefits of six-legged donkey technology.

More donkey related fun with this gem...
Pyongyang Chewing Gum Factory marks completion of renovations with donkey fight.

English reporter Piers Morgan compared to untrained mongrel, heedlessly spraying parasite-riddled dung on citizens and streets.
(They might have a point there)

Cheese-obsessed orangutan Ted Cruise and Socialist Insurgent Bernard Sanders win Wisconsin Provincial Election.
cheese obsessed?! I didn't know orangutans eat cheese.

And my favourite so far....
Steep decline in unicycle accident fatalities attributed to policies of Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un.

it must be a joke site, though if not perhaps they should stick to trying to feed their people adequately instead of comedy!

Hmmm- another gem!

@DPRK_News: London mayor George Galloway praised as England's last honest man, for tireless fight against imperialism and greed.

There's some quite entertaining spoof accounts on there. I'm slowly getting my Twitter mojo back,m. Les Vaches du Tour is a good account to follow for a light hearted take on the big tours and such.
