The tash on twitter

Well we've had Gary Caldwell, Craig Levein and Craig Brown. Looks like Petrie is the latest. @RodPetrie1875

thats moderately funny Some bassa has already got the hibsbollah name on twitter (i think its called a hashtag but im an auld fart and this could be a street name for the latest horse tranquiliser rave drug for all i know). Its shocking when people steal your own personal 'handle'. Pure shan in fact.

Definitely him: "Thought I'd address the rumours about John Collins saying he'd come back if things were different. I'm still as tight as an eskimo's bawsac."

A hashtag is different to a username and is a word or phrase with a hash in front to make it searchable eg. HibsAGM. If lots of people use the same hashtag then that is what makes something 'trend'.

Usernames begin with an @ sign eg. @hibsbollah

There endeth the Twitter lesson for old farts!

On a side note, and though I use Twitter, and hashtags, a phenomenon which is starting to really get my goat is when TV shows eg. Celebrity Juice try to get phrases trending by asking viewers to tweet them. Or worse still when someone on the radio realises they have said something mildly amusing and they repeat it prefixed with the word 'hashtag'

thank you deeklipse for that concise yet informative summary. Word Joey Barton is highly entertaining on twitter. not a day goes by without him saying something controversial...slagging the English Defence League, quoting Nietsche and calling Gervinho a 'peculiar creature'.

The bit about Billy Brown asking to turn the heating on Someone with a good sense of humour

Everything is in place: great stadium, training centre, reinforced multi-locking safe/vault system in which to store the company chequebook :

"Surprised it's taken this long but just received the obligatory application from Stuart 'Big In Japan' Baxter. Can that guy not take a hint?"

This old fart still has no idea what the hell your talking about.

Living in holland at the moment and if I asked someone what a hashtag was I think I would get a completley different answer.

Some recent Rod classics

@RodPetrie1875 Rod Petrie

@patnevinhibee no problem Pat. Will consult you soon on the big decision. I know you never make a bad choice. Well except Rod Stewart!

Not heard much mention of Gordon Strachan for the last few days. Always thought he was funny pre-Sellickfootballclub.

Looking at some potential January signings to make things easier for the new manager. Would hate to be scrambling around on Jan 31st.

Almost halfway through #Movember and I've still got the only decent mo at Easter Road.

Just woke up with a start. Had a dream that I'd given John Hughes another chance to leave an unworkable legacy.

Some good ones in there
