UK Watercooler Thirty-Three (and a third) : Revolutions Per Minute

EMSK!!! Hurrah for the Emsk. Yes to email. But I shall email you. Are we still on for lunch tomorrow? I want to go to the park and sit in the sun and eat sammiches and drink cider. Oh yes.

Here is Marmaduke giving it some JAZZ... (note the hands, natch.)

What if he makes me start liking jazz? No, no, no. I've been listening to Scott Walker all day.

Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus

Ah Um

I don't LIKE that kind of jazz.

If I'm going to start listening to jazz, it shall be PROPER jazz. Old jazz. Not nasty horrible free jazz.

None of that is free jazz, hard bop maybe but not free.

I'm not having it, whatever it is.

No, not free in the slightest. I'm suffering from dizzy spells, what could it be?

Gillespie?

Yep, my cheeks keep inflating to 3 times their normal size

STOP IT!!!

(Unless that is not a joke, and you are actually suffering from dizzy spells - I would put it down to the heat or overexposure to sun.)

That said, obeying mine own laws, I may not talk about jazz without posting a picture of an attractive man. So here is the real Marmaduke and his jazz band...

(I'm so devastated that he shaved the mustache off. I thought it suited him.)

Yes the 'stache *does* suit him. But shaving is easily remedied!

I am going for lunch with Johnny B today. It may be our last chance, as I am not going to be working on the same business park as him for much longer!

other changes:

I will be a commuter again (2 buses)

I will have to make my own lunch (on those days when I don't go for a pub lunch)

I will be working in an office with 7 other people rather than 200+

I will be using open source software instead of Microsoft

...the rest I will have to wait until I get there to find out.....

It's not a joke. I'm thinkin' it's the heat so I'm drinkin' me some fluids. Still dizzy.

Maybe time to invest in that hat.

Tell Johnny B I said hello!

Dada, I reccomend a straw boater. They are marvellous things, so light.

I'd look a right tosser in a straw boater - I'd look like I voted for Boris Johnson or sumthin'!

there are other types of hat with wide brims that'd do the job. Like the one I took on holiday to Jordan with me which makes me look like Indiana Jones.

check that out

Not neccessarily! Some boys can make straw hats look quite decadent!

OK, I will stop this. (Though you all know that I won't.)

I'd look a right tosser in a straw boater - I'd look like I voted for Boris Johnson or sumthin'!

But that is a panama rather than a boater which is much more acceptable.

A Pork Pie may be apt.

xpost, TB is clearly wearing a boater and is a tosser.

As can clearly be seen from the enlarged image showing his lower half:

I am running out of time, but Emil.y if you are reading this, I have received your Flickrmail and I am On It!

(I will tear myself away from drawing pics of Marmaduke for long enough.)

Bloke with the beard next to him is clearly a man of style and taste though, the baby blue suits him.

lol @ the thought of Tom D in a Porkpie hat

http://www.phill.co.uk/comedy/desmond/des02.jpg

A porkpie hat might be good. I'm no Thelonius Monk tho.

... I know it's Mingus but I mean that Monk could have worn a lampshade (probably did) and still looked cool

that pic is porkpie from Desmonds though.

I know I was referring to "Goodbye..." . Could I get away with one of these, do you think:

A Powerful pro straw boater argument:

Would tom suit a boater? I don't know what he looks like but I picture him as a guy about Norman's age with a beard and long flowing dark locks down to his shoulders at least 70s style.

Am I close?

About as wrong as it's possible to be

I'm more Conrad Schnitzler than Edgar Froese

i doubt youre as old as that somehow

So Tom (or anyone) bought any cds or records lately?

Bollocks to buying stuff, 's all downloaded off the net now, innit

I thought you were old skool.

Gmail is still putting cooler cookie emails in my spam folder despite me saying its not spam.
Is anyone else having this problem?

I checked my gmail spam folder and couldn't find any Watercooler emails in there.

As for buying stuff, well I did get a Wolfhounds 12" for a quid in the MVE yesterday. And I just ordered these off Amazon:

Stick Men With Rayguns - Some People Deserve To Suffer CD
VA - BIPPP French Synth Wave CD

Would tom suit a boater? I don't know what he looks like but I picture him as a guy about Norman's age with a beard and long flowing dark locks down to his shoulders at least 70s style.

Having (too briefly) met Tom last year, all I can say is LOLOLOLOLOL RONG.

I used to imagine Tom as looking like Kevin Coyne, b/c oh his old email address.

That was the name he used in his letters to the wire wasnt it?

Does He Take Sugar?

Oh good lord... ha ha, um. No. Dada is as bald as an egg. And very thin and rather pointed and very Scottish looking.

I'm listening to lots of Scott Walker. Except for Tilt. Which confuses me.

This is my straw boater:
