@nzbuu I guess it's the single and thus promoting it. Don't really listen to pop music unless I hear it on Radio 1 early mornings.
@geraldshaw Thank you.
@pd1001 Thank you.
Are you a Mac or a PC?

Face Memory Test - BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/science...
"Skills like memory are the first to go when we're tired. This test assesses your ability to remember how long ago something happened - your 'temporal' memory. If you're tired you won't be as good at remembering when you saw or did something." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

Have you ever fallen asleep on a train and missed your destination or simply got on the wrong train? Where did you end up? What is a long way?

Question inspired from my comment here: http://ff.im/bqadP - Kol Tregaskes
Thankfully I don't think I've ever got on the wrong train and I can't sleep on trains anyway. - Kol Tregaskes
Wrong train once; realised after about three stops and was able to rectify the situation. Fallen asleep coming back from London (Kol, you just need to drink more to do this) but since the end of the line was one stop further than where I wanted to get off it wasn't a big deal either. - Mark H
Not exactly.. I've woken up at the station *before* mine, convinced that it was my stop and scrambled off the train, only to have that, "Oh, bollocks" moment as the train pulled slowly away from the platform... - Andrew Terry
That picture is awesome. And yes, I've fallen asleep on the bus several times missing my stop. I've gotten on wrong buses working on auto-pilot, forgetting I needed to take a different line. - Anika
I didn't fall asleep and miss my stop, but I did miss my stop because I was talking to someone. - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Oh yeah.In my case I was simply lost in thought and totally missed the stop. Fortunately I got off at the next station and caught the train back. Was only 20 minutes late for my lecture ( but nearly 40 minutes later than i usually get in) - Roberto Bonini
Nope. I can't sleep on trains. - Steven Perez
Distracted by card games, several of us managed to not only miss our stop, we ended up back at the station we started at. Therefore missed our connections (the last of the night), rerouted through another city, and ended up getting home, changing, and going straight to work the next day. Not good. - Jaclyn
I can sleep on the way in to Grand Central Terminal, because it's the last stop so I can't miss it. On the way home I worry about missing my stop, so I usually don't fall asleep. - Bill Scherer
I've definitely missed a stop, being sound asleep (long and early commute). The other times that I fell asleep due to too much drink, for some reason, I woke up just in time to get off at my stop. Although that one time, i wasn't looking too pretty with my glasses all askew and drool on my chin as I stumbled off the train. Good times. - Cassandra
Steven - I fall asleep on trains very very easily. :) - Roberto Bonini
What is your favourite letter and why?
painted-wood-letters.jpg
K, for obvious reasons. - Kendra K
W - take a guess - CW™
A because no only does my name start with it, but since it's the first letter of the alphabet, I don't have to consider the rest. - Anika
Watching Moon. This is becoming very interesting...
Very good, very good indeed. - Kol Tregaskes
Home on time for the weekend. Yippee! Pizza night tonight! :-)
Cool, I have the new retweet option on twitter.com. :-) Still won't use it, will stick with Seesmic Desktop. :-)
There is no retweet option on my Twitter Lists, even though I'm following these users! :-(

:) - Opium
Well this was back in stock but now isn't and I see it's gone back up in price. Oh well :-( http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol... #ps3
Watching Star Trek. Need a movie after a stressful day at the office. :-)
"Bones" is a bit too much. - Kol Tregaskes
Just saw it... mixed opinion, loved the visual design and the kinetic set pieces but the acting and script is a bad parody. A regression not a reboot. Definitely a big dumb step back in intelligence from Picard and co's generation. - Graham Sergeant
Well I thought it might be terrible but it wasn't too bad. Yes very pretty but helped with the 'future' ship. - Kol Tregaskes
This is more like it, much faster train home - compared to Tuesday.
Still fighting off the cold, post of winning but very tired.
@Eyebee Huw Stephens is (normally) a very good DJ on BBC Radio 1. He is a "new" music guru but his weekly round-up show is getting silly.
I only ever listened to Colin Murray, but now he's gone I can't be doing with Radio 1 at all. - Amy
Amy, I found him annoying then his replacement is not much better. - Kol Tregaskes from fftogo
Interesting that fftogo has the services icons whereas the full FF site does not.
Shame you cannot CC to Twitter from fftogo. - Kol Tregaskes from fftogo
I have a couple of my startup applications loading up twice (only 2 out of all of them). They are not in the two different startup folders (for my user and for all users). I've had this before and it required a simple registry edit I think. Can anyone help?
If I put the two apps in one of the startup folders they don't load up at all, if I put them in the other startup folder I get them twice. I've cleaned up the startup apps with msconfig too but no joy. - Kol Tregaskes
INSHA ALLAH i will be pleased to know that i am vista user but when i use ie8 it does not work while google chrome goes and when use firefox it does not let ie8 work.thank you indeed if you please suggest for me the better browser - Nawabikramullah khan
Give Startup delayer a try. That's what I use to manage startup apps. - Rohit
winpatrol is another good tool to manage all this (and free) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
you could check the services manager from computer management snap in. Check to see if there's multiple entries in there too. - alphaxion
RT @stephenfry: Is it wrong of me to cringe and shiver when I read an address referred to as an addy?
It's marginally better than "Illo" for illustration. - Jeremy
Huw Stephens is getting sillier and sillier! :-( Stop it and just play the music, Huw.
@iphonegirl Depends on the question I guess? :-)
@askseesmic Got it... eventually. :-)
@chris_stenway Great tune.
