TERRIFIC TWITTER TAKE OVER
How did Twitter take the world by storm?

Molly Fisher. Sunday 20th October 2013.

Tremendous twitter was created in March 2006 and launched by July 2006.

This then leading to having 100 million active twitter users worldwide today and having 50% of them logging online every day according to an article on PR daily.
When on your account, you can chose which accounts you want to follow. Could be your favourite celebrities, your friends, or anyone who's tweets catch your eye.

You can chose to write about anything, and express with your feelings with your followers, or you can 'retweet' or 'favourite' someone else's. It has promotions that appear on your 'newsfeed' leading to Twitter having £92,408 profits last year. Incredible, don't you think?

I think the logo is very interesting by it being a bird, and when you make your own account your picture is at first an egg before you change it. Also, you 'tweet' being the sounds bird's make. It all links together. This could represent Twitter being a family, keeping people together.

There is also a 'trending' button on your account. This lets you see all the main topics of which people are talking about. It helps you keep up to date and not miss the new gossip. You can link your twitter account to your Facebook, your BBM, and have all your friends together.

Amazingly, according to wow-facts.com, about 11 twitter accounts are being created every second and checking twitter is now becoming part of the daily routine. Most businesses and company's have their own twitter account and wanting the users of Twitter to 'follow' to create more advertisement and more customers.

Having all this happen in just 6 years and it being updated frequently, what else is Twitter capable of?

Mexico travel.


It was early morning. The blistering sun gazed down as I finished guzzling down the various foods available. The glistening clear blue sea gently crashing against the shore, playing a game with the hyped up children trying to jump over the waves. The exotic lizards marching around searching for the shade. Along with the wild monkeys climbing around posing, as like celebrities, whilst everyone takes their picture.
I looked around to see everyone having gigantic droplets gushing down their face. The hotel staff jumping around trying to catch the attention of the out tourists making the most of the weather. You could see the bar men making numerous multi-coloured cocktails, doing their fancy tricks to attract the appetites of the excitable customers, hoping to get extra tips.
I was sizzling in the scorching beam of the Mexico sun, trying to balance out my time between the shade and the sun, needing a tan of course. All the sunbeds were taken; The boiling sand scolding my feet as I stomped around searching for somewhere to lay on the over crowded beach. The beach from afar looked infested with ants, no sand to be seen! So many people wanting the Mexican glow.
As I traipsed around I kept getting bombarded with the locals trying to sell their 'must have' items, I could see a bed in the distance. I started to speed up.  I got to the bed, settled down and started relaxing. Heaven.
Just as I got comfortable, the weather changed. Without warning the sun hid behind clouds and was completely out of sight. The calm sea livened up and the wind started to roar. Before long it started crashing down with rain, huge pellets descended from the sky. The excitable faces turned to gloom within seconds. Everyone frantically rushed inside. The whole time I spent trying to find a sunbed and now I had to leave it.  At least it cooled down!
After about five minutes, it all stopped. It was like it never happened. No puddles. No raindrops. Unbelievable.

Monologue.

Geoffrey is a vicar. He is a strong, confident and very religious. It is morning.

She was late, Again. I was appalled. As a matter of fact, there is nothing new there. The glorious significance of the church not appreciated. Heart-breaking. Who in their right mind would ruin Holy Communion. I believe it is imperative to thank and show your appreciation to people who have helped us, like Jesus, you know? If only my wife would understand.
Anyway, the temperature of the room was a hindrance. My wife obviously found it funny. The boiler is horrific, i did deny to explain the problem to the others, they didn't need to know.
Mrs Belcher willingly took the honour of taking the plate around. This then ruined by the sarcasm of my wife. Disrespectful to say the least, luckily they didn't comprehend.
The Sermon today was about the joyful union of a man and women. This then leading to my wife staying reasonably awake, due to her interest in sexual references. As you know, the bond between a man and women is a sign of love and is preferably only allowed in marriage. It is also a symbol of the relationship between you, your partner and God. It shows all what we are offering to God. I believe making love should only be used when re-creating. My wife, of course, disputes this.
I revealed that the Bishop would be dropping by after Easter, this is unbelievable. Although it does lead to having endless things to do. Stress. Stress. Stress. I undoubtedly have to sort everything out including my hair (slight laughter). I hear everyone help and support at this important time. They're unbelievable. Remarkable in fact. Really helping to make this Parish appreciated for what is.
I hear people say to my wife "We must cherish him!" This then leading to her being sarcastic and mocking these people by cooking chicken wings. That's not cherishing, is it? She can't cook of course. She then mistakenly thought i complemented her food. I meant the Sermon, what else is worth complementing (laughs)
I, I love my life. I ave the pleasure of preaching about God. Frequently. This meaning i have a close bond with God... What more could i want? As my wife delivers the Parish magazine, i start working on my paperwork. I am fascinated by the inspiration given to us by God and the Holy Spirit, despite the fact my wife doesn't appreciate it. Can't have it all, can we?
as my wife got back, she denied the pleasure of going Eversong. I couldn't say my wife couldn't be bothered, what would people think! So, i had to pretend she was ill. Sad really.

What i have learnt.

This past week I have been reminded about the 8 word classes and their meanings. I have also been reminded about the 3 different types of sentence structures. Another thing I learnt would be about lexis, semantics, synonyms and antonyms along with figurative language, lexical/semantic fields and GRAMPS.

Bristolian dialect.

I read an article called 'Dialect guide is 'gurt lush'' about the Bristolian Dialect and i found it very interesting. It states how the language 'confuses the hell out of non-Bristolians' this shows how unique we are. I think most people from Bristol use the phrase 'wheres that to?' without even knowing it wasn't gramatically correct.  'Alright me babber' and 'Gert lush that is' are common phrases in the Bristolian language, along with 'Well nice' and 'Proper job'. As the younger generation are getting more techinical, words like 'Lol' and 'Soz' are being used more frequently too being shortened and abbreviations of words like 'Laugh out loud' and 'Sorry'.  The language is increasing rapidly all the time, new words being made and more people becoming familiar with the language. I think that people not from Bristol find the Bristolian language quite amusing, this making it become popular and then having t-shirts with common Bristolian phrases on and a Bristolian dictionary to help people understand.
Even though people say that Bristolians sound like a 'farmer' they are proud of their language, and where they come from.
