  • is at the end of the line. (@ Penzance Train Station) http://4sq.com/akdZE8 #

  • is, apparently, leaving Cornwall (@ Tamar Bridge) http://4sq.com/bKpQwF #

  • wonders where they've hidden the travellers at Reading? Spookily quiet on the platform (@ Reading Station w/ 9 others) http://4sq.com/6xT7ED #
  • Is back home from the fab Cornwall break. Now to start thinking about Silverstone #f1. What needs packing? #
  • had a lovely time in Cornwall but all #f1 arrangements are running behind. Plus the gym smells of new paint, which can't be that good. #
  • still wonders what he needs to take for 3 nights in a tent. Think he would have worked it out after all these years. #
  • wonders if @exchangewire is right and AudienceSceince is arguably the biggest player in the European data market: http://goo.gl/nIY7 #
  • @neilangus hey no worries. I'll drop you a note and perhaps a beer in the next couple of weeks? in reply to neilangus #
  • still hasn't quite worked out what a blown rear diffuser is but, apparently, Lewis & Jenson have one this weekend: http://goo.gl/84zs #f1 #
  • sees @The_Real_JB roared "I'm a fighter" after Damon Hill said he can win the world title despite being a tortoise racer: http://goo.gl/O2YC #
  • thinks, frankly, the headline "Gerrard to coach Shrews keepers" is just teasing. Thanks. http://goo.gl/fe73 #
  • has just been ousted as the 4sq mayor of Wimbledon Station. I only had it since this morning. 4sq's very competitive in south London now! #
  • notes that the BBC are introducing Driver Tracker for this weekend's #F1 race. If you can't join us; follow the race at http://goo.gl/9v9b #
  • sees @SilverstoneUK report people queue from 3am on Sunday for the gates to open. This is why I sleep in a tent about 2 mins from the gate. #
  • @Cornelia77 Have you been watching since the beginning? in reply to Cornelia77 #
  • thinks most people knew that was going to go in from the moment the corner was kicked. #workshop #

  • @kevmoss Look who's coming on! in reply to kevmoss #
  • @kevmoss nice odds. Still a few minutes yet. in reply to kevmoss #
  • @kevmoss I am actually hoping he scores now. Making injury time extra fun. in reply to kevmoss #
  • @Cornelia77 I want to borrow the octopus for one week. And I'll offer him the lottery numbers. in reply to Cornelia77 #
  • @kevmoss seems like a great plan to me. Now, who is your money on for the final? in reply to kevmoss #
  • asks all his non-footie fan followers, who's your money on for Sunday's #worldcup final. I though Spain played well tonight. #
  • RT @Cornelia77: I want a psychic octopus as a pet #worldcup < a pet? That's an option too. #
  • @sandlines but are you confident enough in them? in reply to sandlines #
  • @Cornelia77 octopus is nice on toast. That's how I first ate it. Amusingly, that was in Spain. in reply to Cornelia77 #
  • @kevmoss I'm hoping the octopus comes out in favour of The Netherlands. First goal will be Spanish. in reply to kevmoss #
  • really struggles watching programmes like the Mary Queen of Shops stuff. She's right but she's so mean to them all. #

  • has just learnt what @GuyKawasaki's "Holy kaw" means (& how he tweets so much): http://om.ly/nfUH #
  • hearing rumours about more Microsoft layoffs. Hope it's not too bad for former colleagues: http://disq.us/gbbne /via @toddbishop #
  • wonders when the future will actually start. If you know, please tell me. I don't want to miss it. I'm planning a party you see. #

  • will be heading to the Silverstone #f1 later with @pyweaver & @timdurmush. Hoping to catch up with @andrew_j_watson. Anybody else coming? #
  • has turned off Hugh Dennis in Outnumbered. I know it has a BAFTA but I have things to do and I still don't get it. Sorry. #
  • finds the thought of George Michael colliding with a branch of Snappy Snaps more amusing than Outnumbered: http://goo.gl/4OjU (again, sorry) #
  • asks if anybody's surprised? ITV has confirmed that @wossy will host a new chatshow on the network from next year: http://goo.gl/pGY0 #
  • Why does the BBC keep losing talent, asks the BBC. Why, I don't know says the BBC. http://goo.gl/Ws3M #

  • reads @jakehumphreyf1 is driving to #Silverstone #F1 with Michael Schumacher tomorrow. I got @timdurmush. Who'll laugh most? #
  • wonders why he's not asleep. Look at those sheep; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 … #
  • reads about iAd and concludes – if their consumer understanding is true – then it's quite clever, really: http://goo.gl/Ek8w #
  • and notes Apple make a big play of the "never share your info with advertisers" line. Will iAd change advertising? http://goo.gl/Ek8w #
  • reads a great piece by Scott Knoll telling how lack of audience understanding is hurting online advertising: http://go.curnow.org/oczro #

  • @exchangewire a pleasure. Always a good read – thanks for the news! in reply to exchangewire #
  • @Cornelia77 @cookiedude kind of sad to read somebody express it so well. in reply to Cornelia77 #
  • thinks it's Krypton Factor time. How to get lots of bags and 4 people into a car for a drive to #Silverstone. #F1's here again! #

  • has finished putting the tent up. #f1 http://flic.kr/p/8gVvRb #

  • waiting for 2nd #f1 Silverstone practice at 2. Red Devils Parachute Display Team slated for 1.15. Bet I miss them (again) #

  • ready & waiting for #f1 Q1. Can see @jakehumphreyf1 in the pit lane. The stands are filling up. Where are my ear plugs for the next hour? #

  • @kevmoss You back with that old chant ;-) 14/1 nice odds. in reply to kevmoss #
