I first joined Twitter in January 2009 – meaning I’ve now been an annoying over-sharer on multiple social networks for five years now. That’s HALF A DECADE.

The mid-teen years are obviously bathed in angst (I don’t dare look back over my old MySpace blogs, fucking hell) but, looking back over this Archive thingy you can ask Twitter to send you, apparently the late teens and early twenties are no better. At least not if you’re an insufferable moron like myself.

Below I’ve shared some of my most cringe-worthy tweets from the last five years. Half to teach myself a lesson, and half because they’re just too weird to sit on.

To anyone who is still following me today – THANKS.

So ‘The Bill’ has been axed. I haven’t watched it since the late 90s but I’d imagine some will be upset. March 26, 2010
