19:02:55 DavidHello

19:03:14 PookaHey guys!

19:03:27 PookaPhew, nice to see some people at last

19:03:50 DavidBeen waiting hours have you? ;)

19:04:19 PookaWell, not really, only got home about half an hour ago, but nevertheless... :p

19:06:31 MyattAhhh, you've all been waiting for me hey

19:06:42 PookaYeah, of course!

19:07:09 Pookareceived the first series of "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" from LOVEFiLM today and is happy at that

19:07:58 DavidI imagine the Matt Smith scene has now had a lot of hits on YouTube.

19:08:25 PookaThere's a Matt Smith scene?

19:08:38 MyattSecret diary, now that was a naughty show

19:08:45 PookaStill is.

19:09:16 DavidYes, not sure if it's in S1, but he appears as one of Belle's clients.

19:10:33 PookaWell, I don't recall seeing him, but I've only seem S2 and most of S3 so far, so I'll keep an eye out for him.

19:10:41 PookaMatt Smith... ACE!

19:10:57 DavidHe also appeared with BP in Ruby In The Smoke.

19:12:11 PookaAh, I never got to see that.

19:12:34 DavidI haven't seen it either. But we all know his best is yet to come.

19:13:13 MyattI've done everything in the correct order this evening, ironing done this time but I've just got to stick some food on so I maybe a little quite for a bit.

19:14:11 PookaOh, I don't know. I mean, could you beat "Geronimo!!"?

19:15:10 DavidI could, but I like to be nice to Native Americans.

19:15:49 PookaThat's true.

19:16:04 PookaLittle Plum is, after all, your redskin chum, according to the Beano.

19:16:31 PookaHey KaM!

19:16:32 MyattFeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb!

19:16:32 DavidWelcome

19:16:45 KaMGreetings! From the upstairs part of the house!

19:16:58 Myattand down under

19:17:20 Myattstraining my neck

19:17:37 PookaKnock on the ceiling!

19:17:58 DavidHehe, upstairs part. Hehe, down under. Hehe, str... you get the idea.

19:17:59 KaMI won't hear. :)

19:18:06 Myattmy neck is already tortouse like without doing this

19:18:27 KaMI like that... as a Knightmare line

19:18:46 KaM"We couldn't have made the slightest blindest bit of difference..."

19:19:21 Myattupstairs downstairs

19:19:31 Myattknightmaring free

19:19:39 Pooka# Upside love you, downside miss you... #

19:20:26 KaMUpside. Not my fav from Hey Ma, but I really like the album

19:20:31 Myattleft side kiss you

19:20:50 PookaIt's a great album. Upside is "our" song, but my favourite is Waterfall

19:20:55 MyattCocopops turn the milk chocolaty

19:21:03 KaMSemaphore for me.

19:21:18 KaMI hope you're not going away...

19:21:25 PookaI remember crying the first time I saw them do that one life, except it was called Pure Beuaty back then.

19:22:25 KaMI remember crying the first time I saw the clip of 'Protect Me' live. It was last January, during my graveyard last days in Geneva.

19:22:52 PookaWhich clip was that? Is that the acoustic one from PTMY Live?

19:22:53 KaMI was in the office, which the good Mr David has seen, at about 11pm. :)

19:23:47 KaMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3u4NHzXUUU

19:24:41 MyattI always had the greatest hits in the car for long trips

19:24:46 PookaYep, Manchester 2001, PTMY Live version.

19:25:02 PookaI played that at the first ever UG gig IIRC.

19:25:12 KaMPerhaps one that slips under the radar too much?

19:25:19 PookaI keep planning to do it again.

19:25:24 KaMBut I like songs like that...

19:25:33 PookaI don't think so, since it's on a live album and DVD!

19:25:52 PookaI saw them do a full electro version of it actually, in 2007.

19:26:00 KaMHow many studio records / Greatest Hits appearance?

19:26:14 PookaWell, only once, to be fair.

19:26:56 KaMPerhaps it's seen as a live song. Raw.

19:27:22 PookaWe saw it on the set list and assumed it'd be the acoustic version, and Morti said, "I ho[e they do a really fact electro version of it." And they did!

19:27:22 Pookacracks open his bootlegs collection

19:27:31 PookaWell, it works really well in any format but it gets the audience going live as it can be slow or fast and it has very positve lyrics.

19:27:44 PookaThey played it twice at Warrington 1991, recorded live as Seven Live.

19:27:59 KaM:) I can't imagine it fast. Don't want to hear the fast version. :)

19:28:23 PookaIt's not really fast, it's just full band and has a different rhythm. Faster, maybe.

19:29:23 PookaSaul uses his violin though, which is great for the song.

19:29:40 KaM:) Nice

19:30:54 KaMYoung boys melt into men / And we'll start the process again

19:31:41 MyattLife force warning - Must have food brb

19:31:44 PookaThat's a really early one!

19:31:53 PookaFolklore, yes?

19:32:11 KaMOui! :)

19:32:45 KaMI got into James in an ambient sense during undergrad days. It helped me concentrate on my Latin.

19:33:15 PookaWell, they do have ambient music if you look hard enough.

19:34:03 KaM:) I wasn't looking for ambient music. I developed a niche for that later, but found I could work well to it. AvE and Erasure proved useful for English.

19:34:54 PookaAll good bands imho.

19:36:49 PookaHmmm, this recording of Waterfall is spoiled by the audience singing along, since everyone's in their own key.

19:37:11 PookaMe, specifically.

19:37:52 PookaI think I redeem myself by playing percussion later on in the gig.

19:43:02 PookaAlthough if Tim really is going to leave the instruments at the bottom of his feet...

19:47:24 DavidOver the past couple of weeks, I've been watching Swiss Toni: the sitcom.

19:47:34 MyattI netter forget us in HMV in 2002 singing along to Sit Down

19:48:09 PookaIs the sitcom any good?

19:48:34 PookaI remember us singing Sit Down on rollercoasters before switching to the Phones4U adverts.

19:48:48 MyattWe used Swiss Toni at Mobile Streams

19:49:20 DavidI enjoyed it.

19:49:40 MyattIt's been a while since I rollercoasterd with you Pooka, it was a blast!

19:49:58 Myattwith your hair in my face, you're screams

19:50:17 DavidIf you look on YouTube, there's a ten minute compilation from the episode that guest-starred Tom Baker as a has-been director who creates an advert for Swiss.

19:50:30 PookaA compilation?

19:51:17 KaMI'm interested to know in what way Swiss T was meant to be Swiss.

19:51:51 PookaIsn't that mentioned in one of his Fast Show episodes?

19:52:15 MyattHe has a little David Jason look about the character

19:52:43 David"I'm built like an Alp and ridged like a Toblerone."

19:52:58 Myattyeah! lol

19:53:08 Myattpussyclub clip

19:53:32 David"I've even got a backstage pass."

19:55:45 DavidIt's been interesting interspersing Swiss Toni with Bellamy's People: same principal casts, five years apart.

19:58:15 Myattgrind your beans

19:59:13 Daviduntil they squeak

19:59:40 MyattTom Baker needing a slash

19:59:58 KaMEy?!

20:00:15 KaMReading all this out of context is quality

20:00:37 DavidMore than a slash... and later in the episode, you hear it coming out!

20:00:57 Pookaagrees with KaM!

20:01:18 DavidIt beats his needing-a-poo comment on Little Britain.

20:02:56 DavidAnd then Swiss sends Paul in to clean the loo, telling him he'll need a fish knife. :D

20:03:41 KaM*laughs*

20:03:51 KaMThe commentary will be as good as the scenes.

20:03:59 MyattThis is class :) I never really seen Swiss Toni

20:04:14 MyattSwishi Toni

20:04:20 MyattSwedishi Toni

20:04:29 KaMHahahaha

20:05:02 KaMWasn't it Charlie Higson who did the 'Season's Greetings' humping sketch in the Fast Show?

20:05:34 DavidYes, he was one half of the Fornicating Couple.

20:06:22 DavidDare I search for it on YouTube?

20:07:29 KaMI was really surprised to see how many of the BBC comedy circuit appeared in Shakespeare in Love.

20:08:32 KaMI saw it for the first time with all the new undergrads in my first week there, and kept wanting to shout out "I know him!!" ... for some reason.

20:08:47 KaM[in Swiss]

20:10:56 DavidAccording to IMDb, John Inman was in it. I don't remember that.

20:14:15 KaMI can't see him being amongst the bands, as they end up in a pretty rowdy duel.

20:17:19 DavidTrying and failing to find a screen grab.

20:18:15 Pookais listening to Morti

20:18:29 DavidOn a tangent, did you know that Harry Hill's real full name is Matthew Keith Hall?

20:20:25 PookaNo! Weird.
