dearieme's twaddle example for today
Commenter dearieme has suggested regular posts on twaddle encountered while browsing the internet. Good idea, submissions welcome - if I receive them I'll post them. It probably won't be particularly regular as nobody wishes to spend too much time in twaddle swamps.

Scrobs - thanks, I'll look that up, I can already tell it's priceless.
