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

Sorry. It's the sun.

I thought "good god, that boy is quick at answering his email!" but it turned out to be an autoresponse. (English, not Cowboy Jim.)

Jim's first mistake was blabbing to K8.

Crikey. I've just been told to google an acquaintance of mine from Glasgow who, it turns out, has been outed as cross-dressing male prostitute! Funny old world. Gorblimey etc.

They're off to play a round of golf. ::vomits::

Club Med Sucks! Authority Sucks! I Hate Golf! I Wanna Play Lacrosse!

Kate, one of the things that has most impressed me about yr drawings is the way you draw hair.

I am going to a talk tonite at brookes uni by 2 current colleagues which is being sponsored by my new company and so will be attended by at least two of my new colleagues. Crazy incestuous world of online publishing....

Waht? I just like to tease Cowboy Jim. It's fun. But if he gets a POG before me, I will KEEEEEEEELL him.

I love drawing hair, it's my favourite thing to draw. I think that's why I like shaggy rock boys with the anime hair so much.

And here's a man with my favourite fun hair to draw... it's like his whole head is covered in little swhirlies! I could draw swhirley carruthershair all the doo dah day.

Kerr, check yr Gmail, I've sent you some PROG!!!!

Morning there. My shoulders ache ache ache today. I am hard at work, looking for train-related Flickr groups to post my train-related pictures on.

Do I want to know why yr shoulders ache or should I just not ask?

Surely there have to be loads of train groups on Flickr. (My fave Flickr group at the moment, though is The Portrait Painter.)

There are so many train groups on Flickr I am having a hard time filtering through them all. And then going through my photos and deciding which photos are relevant in which groups.

I have no idea why my shoulders ache. Either bad posture at work or bad posture sleeping, I expect.

Are we going to Spiers and Boden on tuesday do you have ticket? Review them to TZR.

It's Wednesday! And I haven't bought a ticket yet. Coz I keep forgetting to bring my wallet to the web cafe. But I am going, yes yes yes.

Trainspotting the trainspotting groups, ha ha, on that is wonderfully recursive.

Shall I buy it and you give me cash on weds?

Actually, yeah that would be great if you could!

Are you coming to the Jazz on Sunday in Covent Garden (yes, I am afeard.)

Jazz? What the...?

(Marmaduke is playing. He has threatened jazz.)

((That is, if he ever answers his email, because he did say he'd give me a guest list.))

i am camping this weekend.

I am drinking Lemsip this weekend

Bugger Sold out.

except not on see tickets

got 'em

Got the gmail Kate. I've never heard of Youthmovies

Hands up who's all going to Stockhausen Day at the Proms this year? *hand up*

... well, when they get round to selling the tickets that is

What day is it, (I prommed a lot in my youth, some great concerts but the Albert hall is a terrible thing to do to music)

Herman, can you forward to me.

I've only ever saw Ennio Morricone at the RAH and that was fan-bloody-tastic

August 2

Forwarded it on to you Ed (and Tom D too because he loves the prog)

Tempting. We should get five together for a box.

I've tried booking tickets in advance but I'm not convinced it worked

Wow, just noticed on August 22, performance of "Punkte" (which I love) alongside Mahler, Schubert, Beethoven... culture clash!

I think Tom D should go to the last night of the proms.

oh man the hot weathers ended already. It's pissing down here. Just as I had put a washing on.

Does mitya still post on ilx? I miss him.

I think maybe they banned it at his work.

damn.

Stockhausen Day at The Proms? OK, why does that sound like the punchline to a bad joke? Count me in on the box, I like the idea of going to the Proms. I could wear my new straw boater.

So you did get Spiers and Boden tickets? Ah, I hope so, as you're probably off camping and everyone else in the world is at ATP. Sigh.

I'll copy you the Youthmovies album IF YOU MAKE ME A BLOODY COPY OF THE GREAT LOST SHIMURA CURVES ALBUM!!! It is absurd, I am the only person in the band that doesn't have it. :-( Or at least, the last, good remix of it. We should put it out when the Paynes come back from Sweden.

Anyway, um....

I've got to stop drawing the lad. This is getting absurd.

THEY HAVE A TRUMPETER FFS!!!

I should have drawn the trumpeter. Ah well, too late now.

Draw Ed!

With clothes ON, of course.

btw cooler group emails have ended up in my gmail junk folder so you should all check yours to make sure it goes to your inbox

I've already drawn Ed! He was on a Shimuras poster!

(Kate, did you get my flickrmail? Probably not the most reliable method of communication, ah well.)

I did! Did you not get my response? I think it got sent to your hotmail. Eeep.

I had a brilliant weekend. Even the JAZZ was good. In fact, the DEMON JAZZ was actually kind of amazing. They had a double bass and everything. Though I suppose it wasn't proper jazz, it was more like... oh what was it Other Music used to call it? That section where they put all the Scott Walker and the Serge Gainsbourg. "La Decadence".

Now I'm all a-flutter over Marmaduke again. Swoon.

Good morning. Our office feels freezing cold today, because we have had the air conditioning repaired. It's strange to think it was meant to be this cold all along, if you see what I mean.

Tickets secured for wednesday, shall we do dinner before hand?

I am intrigued by the demon jazz, or lounge music or whatever it is.

Good lord, cold? It's baking hot down here. I have a terrible heat rash from walking about the embankment in the sun, even with a hat on. (Though the hat has stopped the headaches.)

yes, let's do dinner beforehand. Indian mission?

I think you would like the DEMON JAZZ. He's playing next Sunday in Camden but alas, I am going on a BAT WALK on Streatham Common:

http://www.myspace.com/marmadukedando

I am flying to norway on sunday so no demon jazz for me, but will listen to the myspace later.

It was baking hot outside, yesterday. It was cool and misty and damp this morning, but I suspect that means it is probably baking hot outside again by now.

I need a summer hat. Or a hat of any sort, indeed.

Summer hats are the way forward. My boater is just about perfect. It is straw so it's light and cool, but keeps the sun off my pale skin.

Boo hiss to Norway - well, not really. I love Norway! Or at least the idea of it. But Marmaduke is always playing around the corner from you in Clerkenwell Green, you should roll out of bed and see him some Sunday.

I thought you might
