As a thunderstorm made me reluctant to leave the office this afternoon, I thought I would spend a bit of time analysing the response. I started tracking #ukhols in Google reader at about 5pm on Friday afternoon. Just as the buzz was dying down for the weekend. However, this does mean that I have a nice small sample to analyse, of 195 responses.

I was curious to what extent people would play along with this. It seems that most respondents were happy (0r didn't think about) to tweet their age and gender.

Twitter is a bit like a pub where all the drinks are free. To get your free drinks you are required to tell everyone in the pub what you are having, as well as anything else that pops into your head.

Despite the free beer, all that shouting can get a bit oppressive. There is a hard core of locals, and they are a rather odd bunch. It's not like they stop and stare at you when you walk in, it's actually worse than that. They carry on shouting at each other and rudely ignore your very existence.

A terrible plague is sweeping the earth, the likes of which we have never seen before. Or not since that terrible Bird Flu outbreak that killed 2 swans, a barn full of Bernard Matthews and sold 2.6million extra copies of the Daily Express. Happily however, I've watched plenty of Zombie films, so I know how to keep myself safe.
