Music and lyrics can kickstart some visual scenes in my head sometimes. And watching a film might trigger certain ideas I unconsiously already had in my head, and which then pop out. I regularly have to find my notebook in the dark cinema to make some notes because I suddenly get some ideas. Writing things down in a dark cinema - not easy! :) @Jay – good question, but I’m not sure I have an answer. Music and lyrics can kickstart some visual scenes in my head sometimes.

Too bad we we have to actually do some work now and then, I could stare out of the window full time. Only making a cup of tea every now and then. Yes they did – but they were surprised that I had remembered to come to the new office after my holiday :-)

With film I like to be made to think but in general I love hidden gems...something thats there and is relevant, just hard to find or very subtle. Kinda the same reason why I like travelling too i think.. Jay @ Ingrid

It's a great place for an office. And yes I can see the Dome from here, it's one of the parts of London not blocked by the Crystal Palace hill :) @Kate - I'm sure you'll like the film! @Paul – the 50p building, that covers it exactly :-) It is refurbished, and even though it still doesn’t look that sexy from the outside, inside it’s all new and freshed up.

Well yes The Cafe is a special place for me and I always am inspired when I am there, but other cafe's might do the trick as well. Other things that trigger my imagination and inspiration: films (with and without Bill Nighy) music (lyrics in particular) painting or photographs listening to people's conversations and observing people's behaviour train, tube and generally just travelling news paper articles Basically just having an open mind, keep your ears and eyes open can get you loads of ideas. @Jay good question.

Anyway, the question...you finished your script in 'the' cafe but are there any other places or things you do that give you inspiration...? Some people say booze (like Robert Burns quoted as saying 'O thou, my muse' when refferring to whisky-well, the Scottish do like a drink...) and for some people, their best ideas come whilst sitting on the...ahem...throne...

Yowser. My great-grandma used to call it The Thrip'ny Bit Building, cos it looked like a bunch of three-penny coins stacked on top of each other. In new money it'd be The 50p Building. They proper cleaned it up at some point in the last couple of years. And added the coloured lights. I didn’t know you could see the Dome from the NLA Tower. Yowser.
