Tweeting, test matches and Take That!

It’s happened again! Once more, I disappear from the desk for a few days chill out by the sea and Spareground has another influx of high hits!
Clearly, I should spend most of my time messing about by the seaside if this is the effect. Its great news and very welcome!
It’s nice to have had some very positive feedback on the Spareground concept and good to see that people can see how useful such a site can be. A website than most people could probably benefit from at some stage in their lives.
Other news, Spareground is now a-tweeting on twitter! @spareground
I must admit I was rather hesitant about twitter, I couldn’t see how it would be any different to facebook or other social websites but I am happy I am there and looking forward to seeing where it may take me.

For those of you who read this blog regularly, you will undoubtedly realise that as a passionate rugby fan, I am engrossed by the goings on with the British and Irish Lions tour to South Africa. It’s been a bit of a mixed bag for me, two 'average to below par' games with one sublime one sandwiched in the middle. If only I was there!
I was fortunate enough to go on the Lions tour to Australia back in 2001 and to this day, that first test match in the Gabba at Brisbane, still holds number one spot for the best match I have been to! There is nothing like a Lions tour and I sincerely hope that the powers that be never decide to call time on them. I can’t think of any other sport where players from different countries, normally used to pulverising the living daylights out of each other, can for a period of six weeks or so form one team. I already have my test team forming in my head so will be interesting to see if I am right in a fortnight’s time.
(There’s an unused rugby pitch near my house, which was once part of the Ministry of Defence property, I’m not sure who owns it now but it would be nice if people or organisations who have unused land like this could put them on Spareground. What a waste of a good pitch!)

Anyhow, please keep passing the word of Spareground on to your friends, family and colleagues. The more and the quicker it grows, the more benefit people can gain from it.

Tomorrow sees me off to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, Take That are playing! Woohoo!
