Do we have any idea who @AlternativeDfT is?

Nah sorry. Cant be fucked following all the posters that just bleat on about how things should be.
Yeah theres bad drivers. Yeah there's bad cyclists.
Deal with it.

Urgh. A music journo acquiantance I follow posted yesterday that the dude from Crystal Castles should "grow up" (following his self-important announcement on the break-up of the band that the departing singer was often credited with lyrics that were actaully his).

Someone replied to that with the comment "That is the most ignorant thing I have ever read". Not knowing (or caring) if there were referring to the Crystal Castles dude or the journo, I replied without thinking too much about it "I envy your blissfully sheltered life". Meaning "If anything pertaining to an indie band lyric ownership spat is the most ignorant thing you've ever read... then you've somehow managed to make it though life without being exposed to the horrors of reality. Well done you."

Now two days later, some other dude (from a suspiciouly new account) has started posting pictures of my face all over the place with the comment "I envy your receding hairline". Wtf!?

I hart teh innernetz

Bad luck, baldy.

You should hang out with my wife. She's finding it hillarious.

Can't go near the woman, insists on running her fingers thru my hair, quite awkward.

They're trying really hard to tempt me, but they'd have to add on a couple of zeroes before I'd be able to express myself.

I favourite/like stuff on Twitter purely so I can find it again - but now that tab has gone, it would seem. How do I find the list of Tweets that I have previously clicked favourite/like upon?

On your own profile

I'm looking at my own profile and still can't see tweets I've favourited - where should I be looking?

tweets - following - followers - likes

click on likes. (on your profile, not here)

Thanks, I was looking for "favourite" and was for whatever reason blind to "like".

However, I seem to have not "liked" the bloody tweet I was looking for, annoyingly.

These tossers just followed me because I like bikes and talk a lot about energy markets (I'm a journalist)

Elite road cycling members club for the banking district of London. We bring our members exclusive money-can't-buy experiences and private showcases.

Apart from the cringeworthy spiel, they link back to a site making it clear they're just shilling overpriced tat. Gah.

Our brief conversation

Your profile links to a website that makes it clear you're just shilling overpriced Nags and the like to city boys. Clearly you've followed me because you think the fact I talk and write about markets makes me some overpaid banker. I'm not. I'm a financial journalist. And if I were going to spend that kind of money on a bike I'd support a British frame builder, not piss it away on some gaudy overhyped and underwhelming 'premium product'

Oh dear! Don't flatter yourself XXXX. I use an app that helps me follow people who might like cycling. Its random and automated. You numpty. I'm not interested in the slightest in your opinions. Small time journalist : )
..
That's a relief - it would have been mortifying had your pathetic efforts to shill shitty bling actually been targeted. In any case, enjoy your empty life as a craven marketer - I recommend you listen to some Bill Hicks, he has wonderful advice for people in your profession. Cheerio!

Can you embed twitter videos here?

yeah ten years and that today
