There are some quirky Twitter feeds out there brightening up our Twitter streams that as well as being informative are also just a little bit off beat. More indie than corporate, more stand-up than variety show.

Last year, for instance, there was a lot of talk about the official Betfair Poker Twitter feed that was offering a surreal picture of life in the Betfair Poker office with some curious philosophies thrown in.

In a similarly entertaining vein is bookseller Waterstones and the feed from its Oxford Circus store, which offers an amusing geek filled stream of tweets with a character all of there own that come in stark contrast to the bookstore’s official Twitter feed.
