You meet this nice street cleaner who asks you how you are while passing him. Good, thank you, and you? Your busdrive to work passes The Royal Albert Hall, Kensington park, Hyde Park and Knightbridge. You like the book you are reading. The sun shines when you decide to go for lunch. You work only [...]

You’ve seen POTC 10 times in the cinema? (That’s 1680 minutes of Pirate pleasure …) Post silly postcards of Bill Nighy? Yeah, also then. But. You know you’ve lost it when it’s gone. When you are standing at the counter in Sainsbury’s and you want to pay for your groceries. And you pick up your [...]

I think I’m gonna need some therapy I can’t tell you how much fun it has been to create something silly again. Again. Yes you can send it too …

It’s amazing. We were 7 people, all around my age (17) and we were all so nervous for this exam, it was like being back at high school again. We all passed. I am relieved, because it was tougher than I thought, it was all new for me and it is all so different from [...]

Rail track I won’t bore you with too many details about this course, but a short report from the first day of my track safety course.

Flower girl The cards keep bubbling up from my brain. And this one is based on a true story. (NEW: Send this card as an e-card)

No hats no boots Well I got the hat and the boots, so bring it on. Writing yesterdays post didn’t take me a lot of time. When there is (Pirate in this case) passion involved, words come easily and posts get long. Most of the time, when I read it back the next day, I [...]

There are many transport possibilities to get to my new office, and I have been trying a few of them already this week. There are people who want to get home after work as soon as possible, and there are people who actually enjoy taking buses they’ve never taken before crossing through areas in London [...]

The Dutchman sails as her captain commands-uh. This is one of the most awesome pieces of movie soundtrack I have heard in a long time. And the scene belonging to this piece of music is one of the greatest shots in At World’s End. The music reminds me of Once upon a Time in the [...]

2 weeks ago OLE meant : Object Linking and Embedding That’s a boring programmers term, forget about it it’s boring. From today on it means: Overhead Line Equipment : Overhead lines or overhead wires are used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains at a distance from the energy supply point. That’s a [...]

I was actually planning on going to attend a Q&A session in the place over all places (BAFTA building) in London (with Richard Eyre, director of Notes On A Scandal), but I was so tired that I skipped it, and even the short walk home felt like having to run a marathon.

Cricket in Vincent Square Cricket in Vincent Square I like the “don’t squeeze me until I’m yours” sign on … the muffins in a cafe. Makes me want to squeeze them even more. I like the white uniforms of the cricket players playing the game around the corner where I live. I like the sharpdressed [...]

Bill Nighy as Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe A post very much due (excuses for the wait to the people who have contributed!). First, here is another clip of Bill Nighy’s trip to Tanzania, where he clearly explains why he thinks aid is a good thing, and that it in fact works on [...]

Ocean’s 13 – George Clooney Ocean’s 13 – George Clooney A bit of a messy post, with a lot of groovy “boys” in it.

Brief Encounter Oh, the agony of saying goodbye … I wish I could write about adventurous stuff I have done today but I haven’t done any! I spent the whole day finishing off my applications. I am going to apply for 2 different schools (betting on 2 horses seems clever). It’s amazing how much paperwork [...]

When I woke up this morning I felt very weird. Weird that I didn’t need to go to work, weird wondering what I have done – quitting it, and well, my head is just still a bit confused about what is happening in my life at the moment. It will get better soon I’m sure. [...]

Row your boat Detail of the Excell records building, Notting Hill London. What? Change of plans. And it has everything to do with screen writing.

Take away love … The garbage man joked around and made me smile as one of the first things this day. One of my neighbours was talking to another one without his teeth in, and although I know he is English I couldn’t understand a word he said. I walked my last morning walk to [...]

Funny little frog They are Scottish. They are from Glasgow. They have been around for quite a while. I am always late in discovering delicious music like this. When I heard this song for the first time today I had to run to my drawing pad. In between dancing I draw the frog. I have [...]

The BBC has a 3 minute film of Bill Nighy who travelled with Oxfam to Tanzania to see the difference that international aid can make. BBC news has also featured a short clip with Bill, as has the morning Breakfast show on BBC 1. Heya kids, here’s a very important message from your uncle Bill: [...]
