Last Wednesday you were sat at your computer, repeatedly clicking that refresh button and waiting for Tweets of the Week to pop up on the homepage of this here website. Eventually, once it struck midnight and you realised you had work/school in the morning, you gave up and went to bed. In the morning, you gave it one more hopeful refresh. Nothing. Hoops has failed you and you may never forgive him.
Please, forgive me. Life has got a bit busy recently.
To make it up to you, I bring you a BUMPER EDITION of this fine (errr?) feature where I flit about on Twitter and favourite tweets I can embed in this page on a Wednesday.
Since the last edition of Tweets of the Week…
