Best Tweets: February 2013

Compiled by Belinda Too

As we’ve been enjoying this glorious endless summer all February long, our tweets have provided a curious record of what we’ve been up to. Some pretty weird stuff, it turns out.

Please put down your coffee so you don’t spray it out your nose over your keyboard.

The Pope  (if you had your filters on, you missed everything, sadly even people inviting you out for eggs benedict)

@robtreacher “Former Pope” would be pretty cool to have on the old cv.
