I'm too scared to ask him. he is the writer and director of the next project we are working on.

I cant just go up and worship the ground he is walking on!

Oh this is the BEST day at work EVER.

It looks so funny, but won't be out til next year.

For 2DTV I am colouring (on computer) cleaning up in illustrator. then adding joints etc and linking the characters up with heirachies in CelAction2D. its great.

I might be getting to do some animation soon, and also on this Baynham project.

Baynham has gone now. but is has made my week. :)

Steve Coogan is also part of this thing, so you never know!! maybe next week...

Posted by chandler, 22:51, 15th October 2002:

no problem. no problem at all
Posted by Grim..., 17:12, 16th October 2002:
 
What was the old hair like?
And have you had a falling out with your shift key, Cal?
Posted by jeff, 17:16, 16th October 2002:
 
the really old hair was shorter than cal's... but i dont think thats what he meant... i dont want to know about cal's picture filing system *is paranoid that web cam may have accidentally been left on*
do you think simon pegg would marry me?
Posted by Grim..., 17:36, 16th October 2002:
 
EEK!
Was it you that shaved your muff?
No, that was Rosie...

i don't like using capital letters. waste of time
Posted by chandler, 19:12, 16th October 2002:
 
"do you think simon pegg would marry me"

I'll ask him when I see him
Posted by jeff, 22:42, 16th October 2002:
 
wow, thank you! alternatively i could change my surname to Stephenson and work my way into his life that way...
Posted by chandler, 00:46, 17th October 2002:
 
:) you look much lovelier than Jessica Stephenson

But seriously, where do you live, and if I do go to the party I could take you along. I need a date. and if you meet Simon Pegg I promise that if he is willing you can go off with him. (arent I nice) Not that there is any kind of guarantee that he will be there. it could just be me, you, the guys from my work, a load of actors, steve coogan, peter baynham and maybe Paul Whitehouse (apparently he turned up last year)

thats if I even get invited
Posted by chandler, 00:52, 17th October 2002:
 
Oh you live in liecster. thats not far. I live in Eydon, a little village in Northamptonshire, you are but a car journey away.

oh and it has taken me this long to realise that the ff in your name is like a traditional ss. as in jess, short for jessica. I always read it as Jeff, despite knowing that you are a girl.

How stupid am I? Jeez

Its actually gotten to the point where I go to my lecture and when people address the lecturer (who's name is jeff) I almost always respond.
Ok, I'll come to your christmas party, but any sniff of simon and i'm off.. in fact, can we widen the deal to include all of the famous actor/comedien men who'll be there?
Posted by chandler, 11:02, 17th October 2002:
 
ok, but if Jessica Stevenson or any of the female cast of coupling are there (Sarah Alexander for example), then the above applies to me too. ;)

Bags I Chloe Annett!

(Kochanski from Red Dwarf series VII & VIII)
Posted by Sul, 11:32, 17th October 2002:
 
I bag Sally Philips
Posted by chandler, 12:00, 17th October 2002:
 
yeah, but your arnt going to the party (and I'm not either probably)

Actually Sally Philips could be there, she has worked with Peter Baynham on "The junkies" www.thejunkies.co.uk

And Chloe is married, (but she is still lovely)
Posted by Sul, 12:07, 17th October 2002:
 
ooooh can I come Chay. I'll make you look really cool. "this is my new best friend who I met online... on a message board not online dating... I'm not gay... or sad... honest"
Posted by Grim..., 12:19, 17th October 2002:
 
Yeah. And I'll come in and shout:
"CHANDLER! Are you here? It's me, Grim dot dot dot! We spam the I Am Cal message boards together!"

We'll look so cool =]
The ladies will come a-flockin'!
Posted by chandler, 12:33, 17th October 2002:

Posted by Sul, 12:38, 17th October 2002:
 
Girls: "you post on message boards? That's sooo cool. I wish I could post on message boards but I'm a little bit dense when it comes to that sort of stuff" *twiddles with hair, flutters eye lashes, makes coy smile*

Posted by Grim..., 13:37, 17th October 2002:
 
Yeah - we'd be like (read phonetically):

"whoot whoot pretty lay-dez! Ize got leet skillzzzzz when it comes to fuxoring! Do yoo want four piece of me? forward-slash me roxors in da saxors!"

Who could resist?
Posted by Grim..., 13:38, 17th October 2002:
 
See Chandler? You've just got to invite all of us!
Posted by Rosie, 13:40, 17th October 2002:
 
Yeah, I'll come.

( I promise not to mention anything about my shaved twat, honestly)
Posted by Rosie, 13:42, 17th October 2002:
 
I am really looking forward to it now. PLEASE can we all go to your party chandler?
Posted by chandler, 13:43, 17th October 2002:
 
hahaha, its not my party, its not even our company party, it is Steve Coogan's party, and just cos our office got invited last year (before I started here :( ) doesnt mean we will be invited again.

I will keep you posted.

:)
Posted by Grim..., 13:47, 17th October 2002:
 
Oh, only Steve Coogan?

Ah, count me out.
Fancy going to the pub for a drink, Rosie?
Posted by Rosie, 13:50, 17th October 2002:
 
Steve Coogan? Pah!!

Grim...Meet you outside pub at 8.


;-)
Posted by chandler, 13:51, 17th October 2002:

Posted by Grim..., 14:07, 17th October 2002:

Posted by Grim..., 14:07, 17th October 2002:

Posted by Rosie, 14:15, 17th October 2002:
 
Oi! I am not Baldie anymore you cheeky git. My hair has grown quite a bit.

Anyway, lets not get into that again....
