Name dropping

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Name dropping

Post by Metal Vendetta » Tue Jul 18, 2006 11:39 am

Last night me and my ex-housemate Tobi popped down to my local for a couple of Becks's and a catch-up, when this young guy with dark hair came and sat down next to Tobi (with me sat on the other side). We made eye contact, and he leaned over as if to say something, while I was looking at him wondering where I'd seen him before. Tobi said, "Hey do you guys know each other?" and I was like, "No, I don't think so." The guy asked me for a lighter and as he passed it back I said, "You know, you look like that guy from off of the telly, what's his name...Nigel Harman." He laughed and said "Yeah, I get that a lot."

Turns out it was Nigel Harman, who had just been to see the Chili Peppers with Joel Beckett. They were really lovely guys, we chatted about music and stuff for about half an hour. All my lady friends are jealous as ****.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Looked em' up on google. :o Seems as if this chap among other things has had a role in that Aussie soap 3 Sisters?

Sounds like you had a smashin' time EmmVee. :)

I quite liked the Wattses. Well, apart from Sharon. And Vicki. And Chrissy. But the two Dens were always good value for the license fee. It's just a shame that the writers on the show seem to have run out of new ideas in about 1991...

"What shall we do this week?"
"I know, let's have Phil push Ian's head down the toilet. Again."
"Brilliant! After that, we can have Dirty Den jump over the bar to break up a fight. Again."

Were the Chili Peps there? I didn't get the "they" reference in your first post. If so, you are indeed a lucky man.

Stopped watching Enders since Dirty Den came back, partly cause its crap and partly cause there's no time.

Nigel Harman's storylines with Letitia Dean were a good reason to dip in and out of it tho.

He's a dude! Last I heard he was doing Guys & Dolls.

Hardly tricky though, is it? You just need to be on the free paper route.

... what?

Oh, right...
Grrr. Argh.
