Bill Nighy - Lawrence - The Girl In The Cafe

It’s time for a post about my favourite subject and a picture of my favourite actor. 2 years and a bit on and the Girl has visited 65 people and there is still a queue (9, so it’s now 74 people) for more visits.

Easter in the snow

This blog has been neglected pretty badly lately. I will try to get back to the normal update frequency (whatever that is) asap. And yes I do feel quite a bit better, thank you. Back at work now, and it feels like I haven’t been there for 6 months. Don’t know if […]

Dan In Real Life

I hate long posts on blogs, I seldom read them, they put me off. But I know that I too often write them myself. There is a lot to say, but I will keep it as short as possible. I promise. There is some bad news and there is some, erhm, news.

Bill Nighy - Lawrence - The Girl In The Cafe

The answer is no. Too much Bill is a contradictio in terminus.
I was going to write a one line post today:
“The only successful marriage I had was me and my work.”
Because I really don’t have much of a life at the moment. I am juggling between […]

My hands are shaking

January 25th, 2008

The name is Nighy, Bill Nighy

The internet connection at home will be down until Monday (and has been down since Monday and it drives me nuts) and having been out of the office yesterday - no possibility to write at all. So I apologize for the radio silence. I am afraid it is going to […]

The Girl In The Cafe on tour

A short update on the on The Girl in the Cafe project.
I love people who love Bill Nighy. And I actually love all people who take the time and the energy to participate in this project, who write those beautiful personal reviews on the film and who pass […]

Arthur and Slartibartfast
You have to be a very sad person to do this but I twittered The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy live from my mobile phone while watching it on BBC2 yesterday. That’s really sad.
(I know, too-much-bill alert. No Bill pic tomorrow, I promise. I think.)

To protect and to serve

Metropolitan Chief Inspector Kenneth

Metropolitan Chief Inspector Kenneth, such a serious man
(He sure does remind me of someone)
It is getting closer to the 25th and I still had a problem to solve: how to get to my afternoon shift when there is no public transport whatsoever in London that day.
My last and desperate option was calling […]

A big thank you to all of them, both for passing on the DVD and for […]

Birthday Bill

I want to be just as silly as him when I am 58.
Handsome. Funny. Intelligent. What a man.
Happy Birthday to Bill.
And happy birthday to Jill, who also has her birthday today, and who chose to celebrate it in London. We drank tea (the milky way) yesterday and it was a pleasure to meet her. […]

Over the moon and into space

December 4th, 2007

Remember the post I just wrote with the pathetic:
“I will soon make and publish my plan on how I will try to survive the rest of December being a person who hates Xmas.”
Forget it. That problem has solved itself already.
Remember what I wrote about Richard Curtis?

Bill Nighy - Lawrence - The Girl in the Cafe

It will always be my favourite subject to write about, and it’s also an excellent excuse to post a picture that hasn’t anything to do with New York. Not directly anyway.
Here is an update on the project.
The Girl is currently staying in Luxembourg, the UK and […]

Bill Nighy and Kelly McDonald - The Girl In The Cafe

With recent sign ups from both Washington and Amsterdam (update: and London and Australia), there doesn’t seem to come an end to the travel of The Girl. She is heading for another US and UK tour soon.
The Girl has also been in New Zealand, visiting […]

Not everything is as it seems

Bill reads Dracula

Yesterday someone said to me “Oh I just follow your blog, then I will know how you are”.
Nice thought, but it doesn’t really work that way. I don’t write how I am on my blog, I write what I think might be interesting to read, for some more than for others (hello mum), […]

There are things to say

October 18th, 2007

Coping Strategies was special and touching and I am happy I saw it. I saw the first of only 2 cinema screenings and the cinema was filled with people who either were connected to Yarrow or had been involved in the making of the film itself. The film (28 minutes) is about Shahid, a young […]

Unrequited Love

We have received 10 responses from 50+ aged actors with gray hair who can raise and eyebrow “Roger Moore” style, and who want to be in our short film. Don’t you just love a job description like that.
We will see some of them to check that we can work with them and will then […]

10 things that make my Friday

October 5th, 2007

DP loves SR
The fact that I saw Kahlil Ashanti yesterday. See him here on youtube and then buy tickets to his show where he portraits more characters than you think is possible in this hilariously funny, but also dead serious one man show. Tickets only £10-12 for a show in the beautifully located (beside the […]

The Girl in Brazil

October 4th, 2007

The Girl is still travelling, and is currently staying with Andy in Brazil. (Brazil: lucky girl!) Andy is about to send her off to the UK and has just written his review. Yes I know it is in Portuguese, Google helps a bit translating it into some form of English (Babelfish does a much better […]

Do not stick Bill Posters Here

No please don’t. Not anywhere else either. I want to be able to walk through London without being stuck.

Bill Nighy and Edgar Allan Poe

Remember this?
The suggested book titles for Bill to read have been collected and the result list is made. Now it is time to cast your vote on the book you want Bill Nighy to read next for Silksoundbooks!
I need as many votes as possible in order for the silksounding people […]
