People use Twitter in bursts. Others leave and come back. Some repeat the cycle. Repeatedly. It reflects what happens in everyday analogue life - and now in digital social life. Best thing that could happen is for Twitter to wilt on the vine as we all move to the next thing. We had a big life-affirming event in the family this week. Sharing it on Twitter was great. Felt good and the responses were really warm. But communication is like an iceberg. Seven-eighths of it is below the surface. Having a channel in the ownership of a tycoon is interesting

The odd thing is that it was the QPR game in 1967 when I was 15, that is seared on my grey cells. I went to every home game, cleaning windows in the morning and cycled to Loftus Road in the afternoon. I can name all of the players and describe them. The 1967 match was a classic Peter Springett could save anything (well of course he couldn’t but, you know). He was younger brother of Ron who preceded the greatest goalkeeper of all time in the England goal. (LCFC’s very own Gordon Banks.) I met GB in 1994. What a hero!

Lovely evening at @LeicsComedyFest @lcbdepot with trial of live captions. Downloaded their app and started listening. The app wasn’t quite the thing. We fired up Google Meet ( on one phone) and it was markedly better. But not ideal. So next week we will try a two phone set up. #live high quality #captions are the goal. We’re not quite there yet. Aiming for reliable quality and so far as we can tell Google has the most reliable captioning. But that could change overnight as others improve. Some apps put high quality transcriptions behind a paywall.

1. Hearing loss friends (and everyone else) I think we had a breakthrough yesterday evening at my sister’s party. I’m always banjaxed at any gathering and can’t communicate optimally. Millions can’t. #hearingloss #hearinglosshour @HearingLosshour @ActionDeafness @RNID 2. We were trying out a transcribing app which has a paywall for its more advanced functions. It was pretty good. I wanted to try it out ahead of the @LeicsComedyFest this month. One of our party made what I would regard as a paradigm shifting breakthrough. A true innovation
