You may have seen hidden messages hidden in tweets before – but probably not one quite like this.
Read the first word of each of my tweets on my timeline to uncover a fun hidden message!!

Actior and comedian Nic Sampson incited his followers to look back over his recent Twitter output to find a “fun hidden message”.
The message started strong.
Linda at the office has been stealing my lunch, I’m sure of it, but the joke’s on her because I’ve just been eating the company butter instead!

I bet there’s no smugger feeling than being able to tell someone they ‘should have booked weeks in advance’.

Divorce can be tough on a marriage
— Nic Sampson (@NicSampson) October 2, 2018
The opening words of the New Zealander’s most recent five tweets formed the sentence: “Linda I want a divorce.”
It didn’t get much better from there as the next bunch read: “This has been a long time coming and we both know it’s not working. We’ve grown apart.”
And on it went.
I bet the most fun part of opening a cafe is deciding what zany objects you’re gonna use for the table numbers.

Barely a day goes by without some joker bringing up the ONE TIME I got diarrhoea in a zorb.

Even my closest friends and family don’t believe in me, but it doesn’t matter, I have Jesus on my side. I know he will grant me the strength and courage to eat the London Eye piece by piece.

Recognise me? That's right, I'm the guy you picked on at school. I'm the guy who could never get a date, who never made the team, who was never invited to the Big Party. Well look at me now…now i'm the guy with the LARGEST collection of beetles in the entire country!

Who remembers that classic prank where you sneak up on a sleeping friend and stick their hand in between two slices of bread, making it irresistible to mosquitoes??

I’m starting to wonder if maybe structural inequality can’t be fixed with just the right achingly-funny but brutally-honest awards show monologue.

“Around these parts we don’t take kindly to strangers…at first…that’s right we’re mighty shy down this way…but give us a chance, be kind and patient with us, and hoo boy we’ll open right up to ya, and pretty soon you’ll have some friends for life!”

“You really do just look like a guy in a McDonalds commercial” – @Alice_Harbourne

And there were more twists from there over the course of 73 tweets – which you can see for yourself at Nic’s Twitter page.
Spanning over a month from August 31 to October 3, you have to admire the dedication that went into putting the tweets together.
If you don’t quite have the dedication to read them, you can see the full message here.
“Linda I want a divorce. This has been a long time coming and we both know it’s not working. We’ve grown apart. I barely even recognise who I’ve become when I’m around you. The silence is killing me. I’m taking the dog and the good couch. Now you can be with Mark from work like you always wanted. That’s right, I know what happened on that skiing trip. You ruined my life. Goodbye.”
