Random follow #125 - @bobsyauncle

It takes all sorts to make social media tick.  @bobsyauncle is one sort that makes the wheels of twitter keep spinning in  forward motion.  He is a slick tweeter who is happy to tweet and not to tweet depending on how his day is going.  When he does tweet he lifts the overall intellectual level of New Zealand twitter.

Bob is quite a conversational chap and enjoys talking to a wide range of people from across the social media spectrum.  He doesn't RT rubbish but does share the good stuff.  And he also has very eclectic taste from art through to politics and occasionally X-Factor.

Here are the top 5 reasons you should follow @bobsyauncle -

1. He is a pharmacist (and therefore knows lots about drugs). #winning
2. He tweets funny stuff  "Just landed at Mosgiel International Airport" 
3. He has a cat as his avatar.  Okay that's not such a great reason but hey - what would social media be without cats? Right?
4. He has an ear for fine music "'Share a Coke and a Song' from 1995 is bringing up some classics from Pulp, Weezer, Wet Wet Wet, The Cranberries, Portishead, Sonic Youth..."
5. He is one intelligent character "Well, another day has passed and I didn't use algebra once"

What I like about Bob's tweets are that they are a healthy mix of both the funny, the curious and the sublime. He changes it up often and no two tweets are alike.  Some of the best one's are the comments made by customers who struggle to understand the instructions that relate to their prescription.  Why are they so funny?  Because these are people you live with, work with and see every day.  Case in point - 

"How could I possibly take one tablet three times daily? It's really hard to cut one tablet into three parts!"

And to end this recommending blog post I share with you what  could quite possibly be one of the BEST tweets of all time - 

"Half price beard trimmers at the Farmers Mothers Day sale. Not sure that would go down too well"

So there you go.  "To follow or not to follow?" isn't really the question in this case.  Its just a matter of hitting the follow button and enjoying the tweets that will start flowing through your time line.  

Cheers.
