UK Watercooler 32: Fall Into The Meaning Gap

Send that to the Nigel Havers alliance!

Noooo....

I am so sleeeepytime and yet there is no hot water to make tea because the kitchen is being remodelled. Do I have to go to a coffeeshop yet again? Is so expensive!

I bough hot chocolate (cadburys) at the weekend. Not had it in years, but its not the instant pour hot water in stuff, has to be made with milk, and there's hardly any milk in the house so I can have it.

can't

Mmmmm... hot chocolate. Now you're making me want to go out and get a mocha.

I have returned from my appointments with sticky toffee pudding and some custard with vanilla bean bits in. Sated, official.

Watercooler rule no1, you cant mention sticky toffee pudding unless you share it with Kate.
1.1 or post a pic of Nigel Havers in a cricket jumper.

Ha ha ha, best rule yet!

Oh good lord, bandmate just booked a load of actual proper rehearsals. I suppose this means we will start gigging for real, soon.

I cannot believe I have still failed in my quest to find a picture of Nigel Havers in a cricket jumper.

It's apalling, fancying a man named Nigel. It's just not a sexy name in any way, shape or form. No matter how many hott Nigels I come across (Nigel Spivey, etc.) it still does not shake my opinion of the name being utterly non-hott. (Apologies to any lurkers named Nigel.)

Nigel is a term for Hipsters now. I'm sure it used to be for estate agents.

Why? Is it just the most middle class of all names?

Don't forget Farmer Nigel! Runs the veg stall on the farmers' market, obsessed with Dr. Who, has never heard of XTC.

I think it has something to do with Nigel Tufnel. A hipster is a fake and so were Spinal Tap.

My financial advisor is named Nigel. My horrible former boss, Mighty Mouse, FD from hell, his name was Nigel. It is not a sexy name.

Still no cricket outfit, but here, for some inexplicable reason, dressed as Crispian Mills of Kula Shaker:

^If Tom Millar were a Britishes.

No, nothing like except maybe the hair. Insult not the Havers!

Actually, there he looks like someone I was in my first proper band with, called Dave.

He tried to be as controlling as Capt Beefheart, it did not work as I did not really care about him being 'boss' or not....

How about a 12 year old Nigel Havers, as an MONK:

I should really go home. Seriously.

It's bad enough, my being here when I'm paid to be. Why should I be here when I'm not?

I always wondered why you dont have the net at home. Then you could look at nigel havers and julian barratt pics all you want. Mess about on myspace.

And I would never, ever leave my flat.

I've done this before - in 1997-8, and again in 2001.

It's the one thing that drags me into work in the morning.

Good enough reason! Does your mobile have the internet?

My mobile barely gets text messages! I am living in the Edwardian age, you know! aka South London.

Tra la la.

I watched another few episodes of my miniseries last night, but it hath started to SUCK since his Havership has gone off TO WAR against THE HUN. And we're left with all the drunkards and the old women.

You were talking about getting the jesus phone, recently.

I was thinking about it. But now I'm thinking about getting a dongle for my mactop instead. It all works out to what is cheaper. I've got to remember I'm about to be unemployed.

Ha ha ha, Edwardian fever is catchy, one of my MySpaz friends has come over all DH Lawrence this morning.

Having a cameraphone and iPod would be good, though. It would be nice if I could occasionally take photos somewhere other than my living room.

What on earth am I going to do today?

Well, apart from go and see Kontakte at the Hoxton B&G tonight. What am I going to do in the intervening hours until then?

man, it sucks I am in Norway, they will be immense on that sound system.

Well, we swapped you for the Lionheart Brothers, who are headlining. I feel quite happy about having Norwegian Pixie boys in London as exchange.

When come back, bring...

You already have them, ask then about the brown cheese.

What is the name of this brown cheese?

Dammit, if it weren't for this stupid job, I was going to go along to several dates of this tour with Kontakte. Danny was going to help me in my pursuit to oogle the pixie boys.

Bronorst, possibly with some umlauts and null o's that I can't do on the PC.

I can't read Norwegian!

...which, I suppose might be a problem in the pursuit of pixie boys. But I don't want to talk to them, I just want to look at them!

Ah, well, where's the fun in that?

My colleagues are now singing about Spam. I am very much resisting the urge to tell them about the family connection.

Anyone in a viking helmet?

No, apparently it's the aniversary of the invention of spam (the interweb kind). Though I believe nothing I hear today.

Don't bother, unless you can make the most of vegetarian irony.

MySpace still down. Bah! :-(

I'm going to go and google Nigels.
