Time again for the Friday feature - "TGIF: Tweets Galore, It's Friday!".
I have retitled the post so that it is more descriptive. Some readers were confused by the previous title, which said nothing about a weekly news summary.
So at the risk of making this a bit duller I have erred on the side of veracity. Still great displacement behavior!
Note that the 'summary' consists of my previous week's Twitter feeds.
I will update this throughout the day.
