Twitaceous Era 9: There's no best bit

This week on my Twitter feed, witness the annual noise of the Eurovision Song Contest.

This bus driver looks like Bob from Twin Peaks. It's a disconcerting start to the day, I won't lie #damnfinecoffee

Don't mind me, I'll be in my bunk, thinking about Ben Foster playing Stanley in A Streetcar Named Scully.

Apparently The Shed's not called The Shed any more? If the National don't think of a new name soon I'll just call it Keith.

There's basically a Viking ushering at the Globe. I approve.

Ugh, there's a UKIP van outside the RSC. It's like a "best & worst of Britain" tableau.

The RSC will stage "all 36 plays" over 6 years. Which of the 37 plays they publish in the Official RSC Shakespeare are they skipping?
3:34 PM - 10 May 2014

My money's on Pericles. Obviously Kinsmen's getting skipped, they don't even publish that one.
