To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, there is only one thing in life worse than being tweeted about – and that is not being tweeted about. Sir Matthew Pinsent is very keen on Twitter where @matthewcpinsent has over 62,000 followers. I had always hoped that one day he would tweet something along the lines of ‘I saw Tim rowing today, he reminds me of a young Redgrave (Steve, not Vanessa)’. Sadly, this has not happened (yet) but he does admire my tea making – as this tweet from 23 March shows:

Mar 23 Cracking cup of tea round @akrowing
Matthew was in Auriol Kensington Rowing Club at Hammersmith with a BBC crew to film inserts for the Boat Race broadcast on 11 April.
On the same day, Matthew also tweeted:

Mar 23 Happy birthday Sir Steve Redgrave #53
It is a co-incidence that Britain’s two greatest Olympians should both be born on 23 March. Sir Steve (five Olympic and nine World Golds) also shares his birthday with cycling’s Sir Chris Hoy (six Olympic and eleven World Golds). Also in this club are runner, Mo Farah (two Olympic and three World Golds) and Sir Roger Bannister (the first man to break the four-minute-mile). Are they any good at making tea though?
Hear The Boat Sing 
Cycling’s triple Olympic Gold medalist Jason Kenny was also born on 23 March (1988) http://www.teamgb.com/athletes/jason-kenny.
As Hilary Evans (@OympicStatman) tweeted on the day: “Birthdays today for Steve Redgrave, Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny and Mo Farah whose total Olympic golds = 16. That’s 7 more than India”
Very much enjoyed this post Tim, shame you don’t make your sister a cup!
