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!

Bill posters are cool

(It is an offence under the town and country planning regulations 1992 to post Bills on this property)
Wardour Street, London W1F 8WU
Because someone has to stop this madness. I am going underground for a couple of days …

Bill Nighy and Edgar Allan Poe

As if I would have any influence on that. Well, I know Davy …

Pirates in the theatre

July 10th, 2007

Was 12 times enough? Well, forrr now-uh.

Was 12 times enough? Well, forrr now-uh.
First I saw Davy Jones on stage in New York. He was awesome. He was great. And cool. And nice. And handsome. And voicilicious.
Then I saw Lord Beckett in the National Theatre in London. He was fantastic too.
16 days from now I will [...]

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 …

How life has subtly changed

June 19th, 2007

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 boring railway term, but it’s [...]

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 the [...]

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:
Bill [...]

So you feel absolutely knackered with a headache and a soar throat but you don’t want to call in sick in your last week at your current job. You drag yourself to work, and after an hour the fire alarm goes. While enjoying the view from the 18th is great, walking down the stairs from [...]

Gideon’s view in Edinburgh - Calton Hill

Gideon’s view in Edinburgh
Monday, 28th of May 2007
The last day is always a weird day when travelling. It’s often a day you just have to get through before you are off to catch your flight or train. But in stead of waiting (her train goes at 7pm) she still [...]

Are you prepared for what’s next … Davy Jones

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Oh yeah.
Now we’re talking.

Yo ho, yo ho

May 24th, 2007

I have nothing much to say just yet. But the week has passed, and that means that he’s back.
I feel like a little girl around Christmas time, overly exited and not grown-up at all. I don’t care what the critics say, I know there will be scenes where I will be glued to the screen [...]

Row, row, row your boat

I apologize.
For not being able to grow up.
Or on second thought -
I don’t.

Short holiday notice

May 4th, 2007

West 34th street, New York

The pirate and me are off to the Netherlands for a couple of days, for family visits and some relaxing days. Believe it or not we desperately need it after a crazy couple of weeks.
We will be back in London on Monday, back here on Tuesday, the 8th of May.
Which is [...]

I seduce you with my eyebrow
Oh God not him again, I hear you think. Well as I recently have been hanging out on websites realizing that I am not the only one having issues I might as well just openly come out with it. As I felt the need to throw some Bill in between [...]

Bored is boring

April 30th, 2007

The red door, Notting Hill

The red door, Notting Hill
You are seriously bored when:

None of the 421 songs on your iPod seems worth listening to.
You start reading the mails in your spam filter.
You check your watch too often. And because you can’t believe that only this few minutes have passed since you last checked it, you [...]

Bill Nighy - it’s like wow

In the Tesco my eye falls on a headline on a women’s magazine I would normally really never buy. It’s a glossy, and I hate glossies. I couldn’t care less about fashion, shopping, beauty, what size of clothes you are supposed to wear and how to paint your nails [...]
