Colm Tobin: One Hilarious Irish Twitterer That’s Definitely Worth A Follow

We’re huge fans of Twitter here in the Her.ie offices, with one or two more prolific tweeters than others. However it isn’t just tweeting that we love, it’s the retweeting too.  One account that has us favouriting and retweeting posts is Colm Tobin's. Without doubt one of the funniest people in the country on the social network, if you're not following him, you really should be. Tobin's blurb reads: "Recovering musician who writes and produces stuff for telly. I am NOT the writer Colm Tóibín. I am also not, for instance, Eleanor Roosevelt." But forget that, he's actually just a bit of a legend. It was difficult trying to pick them, but here are just a few of his best tweets. Just a few.
