I read that @klout "believes you are influential about Lewis Hamilton". What that statement lacks in accuracy it makes up for in amusement. #
My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Clare Maguire (19), Christian Ingebrigtsen (14) & Boy George (13) #mm http://t.co/1EDHQKvD #
Morning reading: Sky adding BBC iPlayer and ITV Player to Anytime+ service later this year. http://t.co/a2SsbdnH? /via @DigitalAdDaily #
And the point of stringy cheese is …? #CookLikeHeston #zeebox http://t.co/HKlMeHnj #
A nice strong cup of coffee on a day where they say the 1c is the warmest it will be. (@ Alford's Deli) http://t.co/eFMRSVJv #
Join @aiMatch & MadronaSG for a live webinar and learn how to effectively use @Salesforce in a media business: http://t.co/gX46Ht1m #
I find articles saying things like "only 36% of the tweets were rated as worth reading" amusing & frustrating in equal measure. #
The 36% number came from an article that references research but doesn't link to the source. But I still find it utterly pointless. #
[But for completeness, you can read the article at the source of my amusement/frustration at http://t.co/Fk1Sg15c)] #
Day off work today but my morning reading is ad related: "Facebook’s Ad Business Is a $3 Billion Mystery" (http://t.co/eHq9kmKS) #
Related Reading, RR: Now Facebook Must Prove To Wall Street Its Ads Really Work: http://t.co/2oavbzzZ /via @DigitalAdDaily #
Train heading to Edinburgh packed with Rugby fans. Crowds made worse by people diverted because of derailment at Milton Keynes. #
@kevmoss Somebody should turn wifi off for a few minutes, that would shut them up. in reply to kevmoss #
The hotel is flagging the flag for Scotland. The only guests I'm seeing are wearing England … (at The Piries Hotel) — http://t.co/Tzem04jc #
It's not noon & there's already a chocolate cake in the oven for my nephew's birthday party. If I see it, it might not last until the party. #
Just watched England win & Jez's excellent big screen work! (@ Murrayfield Ice Rink) http://t.co/6JCSW0Ry #
Of course if I'd read what I was doing that last tweet would not have been from the ice rink but from the stadium! Oops. #
I hear it's snowing in London. I imagine the news is full of the predictable stories about how infrastructure fails to cope. So obvious. #
My Top 3 #lastfm Artists: Clare Maguire (19), Christian Ingebrigtsen (14) & Enrique Iglesias (10) #mm http://t.co/1EDHQKvD #
Back in SW London. Where is all the snow you've been talking about? Quite a bit to be seen on the journey from Edinburgh but not here ! #

@Cornelia77 I do hope you won't be all hot & sweaty when you join us this evening! in reply to Cornelia77 #
I wish I had enough energy to watch this #RoyalInstitutionLectures about the brain. It's really interesting. #zeebox http://t.co/w2fnYLxZ #
RT @AndrewHaydSmith: Just seen a man using a banana as a mobile phone and having a full imaginary conversation with someone. I love London. #
Yet another meal of fantastic pulled pork. It's not meant to sound suggestive but somehow manages to. @angelaontour @pyweaver #
On Saturday I saw Tyne Daly in the London production of Master Class at the Vaudeville Theatre. She is better-than-superb as Maria Callas #
In fact, as a whole, Master Class was one of the best pieces of theatre that I have ever been fortunate enough to witness. #
Twitter has been raving – & deservedly so – about Tyne Daly's performance: http://t.co/P6INBnIV – a plane loads of awards to take home? #
So, no pressure on @ktointon, @RealReeceShears & cast as I am about to see Absent Friends at the Harold Pinter theatre. #
This hasn't always been the Harold Pinter theatre, right? (Well, clearly not always but I mean not even recently). #
Ah, Wikipedia is a wonder. It was The Comedy Theatre, even the Royal Comedy Theatre (opened 1881). Pinter was born 1930. #
Apparently, it became The Harold Pinter Theatre on Thursday 13 October 2011. Now, sush, lights will be going down soon. #

Another weekday, another set if train problems. But just left Earlsfield on a train with seats. So, it's getting better. #

Goodness. I just realised that my last three tweets were all about programmes on television. I do have more of a life, honestly. #
I got some kind of @foursquare award for however-many-years it is of check-ins. 1815 actual check-ins. Doesn't seem that many really. #
@Steve_Walls Have I ever been different? The game mechanics &are interesting but the life-logging piece is the most interesting thing. in reply to Steve_Walls #

Walking through London I see there are just 199 days left. Then I see The Standard's cover & they have the 200 picture. http://t.co/m8aNtE8y #
I went to see the "silent" movie, The Artist, this evening. @pyweaver summed it up by saying the dog deserves The Oscar. #
Ah, yes, this is true. @TheEarlsfield should start a campaign. RT @Vasey888: Listen up all butchers. Earlsfield needs you! #

I am experimenting with Twitter buttons and need to send this tweet. I have nothing to say except send tea. That is all. #
You know the old adage "when you're waiting for a bus nothing & then 3 at once"? Well, that (except none of them were the one I wanted). #
Looks like grit has been put down at the station. Are we expecting a frost @TheEarlsfield? #
The Friday night post-work shopping queues are horrible. (@ Sainsbury's Local) http://t.co/dEo9IlSJ #
@Steve_Walls Oh, I have still to see The Iron Lady. Think it will be interesting if nothing else. in reply to Steve_Walls #

I am watching The Bourne Identity like I haven't seen it a million times. I like this film (although I preferred the book). #
@twournal Is there any way to get the last Tweet ID from my last Twoural? That would be the easiest way to start the next one. #
Tick tok:RT @graffitibar: The count down to new year is well under way in #earlsvegas but I you simply can't wait, we're ready to get it on. #
Just back from seeing New Year's Eve. Actually quite a sweet film although some of the stories more believable than others. #
I've just realised it's now really New Year's Eve in London. So, in a way, I'll have had 2 of them this year. Nice. #
Like everybody I resolved to exercise more in 2012. I started early & can hardly move now. I'm supposed to convince @Markyja this is good. #

This was our view of tonight's fireworks. I really enjoyed it even with that many people on Vauxhall Bridge. Happy 2012 http://t.co/y3sQetT9 #
@cookiedude Can you feel them all & exhausted? Happy New Year! in reply to cookiedude #
According to @legardj there are 208 days 10 hours 30 minutes to go to the start of the 2012 Olympics. Better head out to avoid the queues. #
@cookiedude I stood on an over-crowded bridge watching fireworks with a side-on view. Strangely magical. Still exhausted though. You? in reply to cookiedude #
I watched @steven_moffat's Sherlock for the first time yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed it & I see it's still trending here 12 hours later. #

The Good Life wasn't actually filmed around here so Penelope Keith would have to have chosen to move in. #
Most definitions of news that I can find define it as (something like) "reports of recent events" not just "depressing recent events". #

We've switched to #xfactor I predict this chap Michael Bublé will win. He's excellent & Canadian. Although I gather he's already won awards #
Oh, I'd switched to the #xfactor so that I could appear knowledgable & know who'd won. I've just learnt it continues tomorrow. Need a plan. #

An interesting video about interface design (esp on mobile), user experience and working culture /via @Scobleizer: http://t.co/wbFsSE27 #
Oh welcome @globaltvthalia to Twitter. We had a lovely Sunday lunch with her the @ejaforg benefit. It appears my @twitter evangelism worked! #
Given @globaltvthalia's business is all about accuracy, I really should have proof-read my last tweet, shouldn't I? #
@Cornelia77 Paris? J'espère que vous avez un moment très agréable. in reply to Cornelia77 #
I'd forgotten I'd installed @spotify. Following their announcements, I booted it up and listened. Quite impressed by their ad localization. #
@cookiedude Ha. What are you starting? Anyway, when are you here again? I think you said you were coming across in December. in reply to cookiedude #
I will admit to watching IACGMOOH (or however you shorten it). I'm finding Fatima's gooey eyes for Peter Andre really cute. #
@james_welsh 30 years old. Wow. I wrote a CRM system in BBC basic for an exam. Feeling quite old now. in reply to james_welsh #
Feeling old as @james_welsh points out that the BBC Micro is 30. I think my Mum & Dad still have theirs packed away somewhere. #
Waiting for @NorwMac & surprised at just how few coffee shops there at arrivals. (@ Terminal 3 w/ 2 others) http://t.co/2Iirl8KY #
@james_welsh And a cassette player that made all those strange sounds. Thank goodness we moved forward a little. in reply to james_welsh #
Ha ha, @pyweaver maybe you shouldn't try and be so organised with your @ted_baker shopping. Or try M&S http://t.co/mqiCWVlc #
@pyweaver Was it a cast requirement that, to be considered for a role, your Christian name began with a B? in reply to pyweaver #
A little adjustment and moving of the router appears to have given me another 1MB in bandwidth which I am very pleased about. #
@JasonManley I think I may be but I'm not sure for how long. You around the whole time? in reply to JasonManley #
It's Friday night & I should be in a pub but I'm cooking sausages instead. Just time to re-tweet a little #adnews from @_JustinDavis … #
I suspect Ferrero Rocher dropped the "ambassador" years a go yet whenever I see the ad I'll still say "you're spoiling us". #
I just used the Secret DJ app to pick Adele's Rumour Has It @leather_bottle in Earlsfield. Nice App. #
An old Victoria Wood on Gold right now. We're behind the scenes at Acorn Antiques. Sad though it is to admit, I know most of the lines. #
Why do the play-out systems for some channels insist on playing the same trail twice in a break? @GoldTVChannel I'm talking about you. #

Atlantic Media reports that its digital ad revenue has exceeded print advertising revenue: http://t.co/L4IipGr0 (ht @DigitalAdDaily ) #
Living like it's 1990: In a cafe realising the voice on the radio is Simon Bates. That, & @PatSharp on the tellybox. #
Today's highlight: sitting on a train opposite a legendary ex-tabloid editor while he discussed the Leveson Inquiry on his mobile. #
This for @pyweaver I think: RT @Londonist: Olympic volunteer uniforms may look familiar to Hanna-Barbera fans http://t.co/2OggN75I #
@neilangus I can't wait for it! How's you? We should grab a beer before Christmas. in reply to neilangus #
I love the ai-pumpkin: RT @aiMatch: Plenty of Thanks http://t.co/bYWO7UiD #aimatch #thankful #
Why automated headlines, clever as they are, don't always work. This one puts #f1 #039;s Lewis Hamilton in the wrong team: http://t.co/Do6j4WNF #
@danofftheradio Not a fan of Smooth Christmas then? http://t.co/UOTtu4hp in reply to danofftheradio #
@thehalfwayhouse WIll you be serving it tomorrow night as well? Seems like Mulled Wine would be a nice way to end the week. in reply to thehalfwayhouse #
@danofftheradio I *hope* they're not aiming at me But I find it amusing to fall asleep to. in reply to danofftheradio #
@LisaCharran well Happy Birthday. And where are you off to? in reply to LisaCharran #
@danofftheradio Ah, you've been spying then. Must be those new-fangled radios with camera in them. Or something. in reply to danofftheradio #
I had to look-up if "new fangled" was an actual phrase. "Contemptibly modern" was the definition. Who knew? #
@LisaCharran Good luck with the packing then. Don't forget which box the kettle is in. I think it's the most important item on moving day. in reply to LisaCharran #
@GraffitiBar I wonder what a "Contemptibly modern" cocktail might contain. I imagine you're the people to ask. in reply to GraffitiBar #
@ruskin147 Being the tech guru you are, I assumed you were speaking at the BT Tower. I guess the 'head' reference should have been a clue. in reply to ruskin147 #
@RoyalMail Hi. There's a problem with your website. http://t.co/zEZtls7e (as printed in your catalogue) returns a "not found" error … #
@RoyalMail … & the item I wish to order doesn't appear in your search (although it says I can search by number). Is there another link? #
@RoyalMail Item DF056 is a first day cover in your Christmas catalogue. Search returns me to the main page. Is there a direct link? in reply to RoyalMail #
Ahead of the last #f1 race, Sky announce their new F1 HD Channel. Free to "HD pack of channels" & Sports subscribers: http://t.co/179o2E3w #
@RoyalMail Sadly, they seem to be out-of-date too. I hope it's only a temporary problem with your site. I shall try and order by phone. in reply to RoyalMail #
@RoyalMail I fear there are lots of "Christmas Collections" catalogues out there with a link to a site that doesn't work/exist. It's a shame in reply to RoyalMail #
@RoyalMail But thank you for the quick follow-up. It's much appreciated. in reply to RoyalMail #
Lots of reaction to the Sky #F1 plans. People seem to have been under the impression it was also going on Freeview. Is there even room? #
I'm having trouble with the @royalmail website but their Twitter folks are responsive & v helpful. Ironically http://t.co/2yvDmXnC just out. #
@sdryden Ah, that explains a lot then. I thought the announcement better than expected. DM doesn't seem to like any TV company that much. in reply to sdryden #
@sdryden #F1 Maybe that offer will come nearer the start of the season. I had expected a channel new channel with a new fee for everybody. in reply to sdryden #
@cookiedude You don't like it, do you? It's an interesting site putting everything in video (but I guess that's what they do). in reply to cookiedude #
@cookiedude Indeed it's an oxymoron but it's also one of those "marketing speak" phrases we've probably all been guilty off at some point. in reply to cookiedude #
@baroness_sheene You could take it as either an inefficient procurement process or bulk-buying savings. Take the forward thinking view. in reply to baroness_sheene #
@baroness_sheene I trust they have all used the hand sanitation liquid before entering the premises and their paws are lovely and clean in reply to baroness_sheene #
@Cornelia77 Freeview isn't announced today in the press release not on the new channel's website: http://t.co/S83PesJj. … #
@Cornelia77 … although it was, apparently, in the Daily Mail (I think) at some point. Maybe a future announcement? Has Freeview space? in reply to Cornelia77 #
@Cornelia77 I do have Sky HD (but I am not clear if I have the right pack). Might throw a party for the first Sky-only race. in reply to Cornelia77 #
@Cornelia77 Well the F1 rights holder is a commercial business and F1 is only a Cat B event in the UK (not required live on free-to-air TV). in reply to Cornelia77 #
@Cornelia77 Of course, we don't know what the BBC are going to announce as their coverage. Full prog a few hours later would be fine by me. in reply to Cornelia77 #
Useful & cool: RT @iamelliot: a rare #ff – dm a bus route plus your location (eg. "427 from Uxbridge") to find out the next bus- @whensmybus #
@cookiedude But a German won the championship two years in a row; albeit for an Austrian team based in the UK.! Such a global village. in reply to cookiedude #
@cookiedude Yikes. The Sun is the newspaper in Europe. Your sir, are teaching me things today. in reply to cookiedude #
@cookiedude I thought that was the case & I couldn't work out which reference supported the claim. The NewsCorp shareholders letter didn't. in reply to cookiedude #
Just back from the cinema; saw "In Time". The story didn't go anywhere but it moved along at an OK pace. 3/5 #
There's an #f1 race today but I've things to do. Is there enough to interest with this last race of the season? http://t.co/MYranRM2 #
Ahead of #f1 qualifying on the BBC, I've read @JensonButton's Classic races. One of them is from this year: http://t.co/v95ZCeub #
Covent Garden is looking lovely for Christmas. It packed though. http://t.co/rpTXt9mj #
No shock at this news: RT @tomcary_tel: Brundle confirms Sky switch. "I need to commentate on every race live." http://t.co/Ex9IDH1e #
Wholly agree with @GrandPrixDiary: "@MBrundleF1 Good luck for 2012 and the Sky gig. You are the BBC's loss.” #
The @british_airways and Iberia relationship must be going well – they sent me an email in Spanish: Yo no hablo español #
A lovely afternoon at The Elton John Aids Foundation Event with @alancarr and a bunch of other people show who have been famous. #
