Fjord Moose: At Home with John Cleese - new video just out

At Home with John Cleese from Dean Whitbread.

You might enjoy this little behind-the-scenes video we made, showing Vinvin the French interviewer around John's new place. More to come...

What a smashing video!

It was like MTV Cribs wasn't it.

'I like cats, they taste like chicken!' - very Cleese like.

Bloody hell, what time does Camilla get up in a morning? Or does she just stay in bed all her life? Her bedroom is worse than mine...mines a bedroom/store room because i only moved back in with my mum a few months ago, and it all happned unexpectedly so i dont really have a bedroom as such. I actually call it the boiler room, because the boiler is in there and it tends to enjoy humming now and again to keep me awake at night...

I noticed Garry was slaving away in the office as usual.

It's got quite a lot of rooms for a cottage.

And i love the cats. Very cute. And named after cheeses too...

right....didnt jack just post the same comment, then delete it, then you write the exact same thing???

can you read each others minds?

we'll let him off...he is getting old...

I will pay for the headcasts...unless they're going to be ridiculous prices...i paid 66p last time. That will suit me!

In fact, I am wearing red, in the background, when Vinvin asks for a translation after the Pelican poem - around 2 mins in

i saw him!

Oooooh.

i think i miss-understood before

so Dean...you logged onto the forum pretty much straight after Mr Cheese, he hadn't logged out, so you didnt realise this and you wrote your comment under his name? I see now!

i thought that you meant that you had logged in with jack's name by accident and just decided to delete his comment, replacing it with your own!...

oooh, what bloody matters anyway!

i did think that the comment sounded nicer than our Sir Cheese's usual forum abuse. Here's me thinking he was being polite for once...

he makes coffee oddly...

is that a normal way to make coffee???

is it some kind of American thing?

i just do it normally...

"Yes my little Lozzykinz. That's the way they make coffee in America. Now..Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me. Harharhar..."

SUED!

yeah...i found it jerky in places too, it was taking a while to buffer wasn't it...

interesting.

it's just a shame that i don't like coffee...

6am in the dark...do not remind me...

a nice cup of tea at that time will do me fine thanks...i often find myself coming on the forum at that time in the morning whilst i get ready for Uni...not a sole in sight...all of your ramblings wake me up anyway, they're highly entertaining sometimes.

But, oh, thank the Lord it's the weekend!!! well...nearly! But i need to spend it revising!!! argh, sucks! i have an exam monday...not good!

Coffee tastes like rust...ya know...rust of a bicycle handle that has gone all rusty with age, when you was a kid didnt you ever get the rust on your hands and then put them in your mouth accidently??? No? ah. just me then...

I certainly enjoyed this video, Dean.
You promise more to come... Is this some sort of an extensive Headcast project then??
What can we look forward to??

Good luck with Podcasting,
making creative people even more creative and
pushing non-creative people over the edge! :)

MAKE PODCASTS, NOT WAR!

You haven't had good coffee, then. I know that flavor, it usually comes from putting milk or low-fat milk in it. Or running it through a coffee pot with a lot of mineral deposits. Half and Half or light cream diluted in half with whole milk tastes way better.

The way I make coffee:

1. Have the coffee maker ready with cold filtered water and a filter in place.
2. Grind the beans very fine.
3. Place the grounds in the filter, and start the cycle.
4. As soon as the coffee is done brewing, pour it.
5. Add half-n-half. Stir.
6. Sit back and wait for life to become wonderful.

I have to use a coffee maker, as I don't have much time in the morning. But it makes great coffee. I use fair trade, shade grown beans, and they're great! They make a drink with a wonderful aroma and rich flavor with slight hints of caramel and chocolate. Bitter without being rusty or flat. Mmmmmmmm....:

It's not me, Mrsthing! It's the miracle of existence... Right here, right now. The sweetest life running thru my weins.

What I really like and appreciate about this short video is how free and easy it is. It must be the magic of Podcast!
My mind refuses any over complicating at the moment. I want just the starry sky above me...
No lump on the bed mystery, please! Life is too short.

OK, but, nothing wrong happened to you, Klara... I hope...

Oh, I see. Don't you want to help me in cracking this code, Klara? In Gungas' thread.

Life is a code to crack, don't you think?? Something we know so little about... almost nothing.

maybe John has Dean held prisoner somewhere.

That would explain it.

Thanks for the coffee tips mrsthing...i'm not sure if it will change my mind about coffee however, but thanks all the same!

I'm sorry, Dean. You do great work, though I don't like the jerky aspect of the Seesmic videos. Is that supposed to be a feature, or is my computer unable to cope?

Mr. Thing can be very delightful, but recreational computing is a mystery to him. He thinks it's for tiny minds that aren't capable of higher thought, and that it's a total waste of time. He really doesn't understand why people are so interested in celebrities. (He's not anyone's fan.) I think he's a little jealous of my fascination with Mr. Cleese, too.

I know we're all ordinary people underneath whatever veneers we've created for ourselves or that have been thrust upon us. But the people who, for whatever reason, achieve lasting fame interest me. More from psychological and spiritual interest: what happens to the mind when a person's every move is being noted somewhere? What happens to the soul when a person is repeatedly bombarded with praise and applause? How do people cope with strangers asking them for autographs, pictures, and pouring out their hearts in gratitude?

These questions keep my otherwise idle mind busy.

I had to do that exercise in PT. It's great for strengthening your quads, and it helps take some of the stress off your lower back.

Here's what happened.

Jack was logged onto the forum. He walked away from the computer without logging off, though he probably closed the window. Dean sat down to post a comment, and opened the forum window, which retained Jack's login. So when Dean posted, he was on Jack's account. So he logged Jack out, logged himself in, and reposted under his own account. Plain and simple.

I feel like I'm in the "Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson" sketch! [whimpers] I wish we could talk about the video. Or making coffee. Or what we've gleaned about Jack's personal life and character from the video.

Mrs Thing, the jerkiness is either that you're playing HD (high definition) when your computer can't handle it - in which case, turn it off (on-screen toggle, top right of screen)

OR it could be that your bandwidth (speed of internet connection) isn't great - in which case, let the video load by pressing play, then pause, wait until the progress bar along the bottom of the screen has completed, then play.

OR it could be both, in which case, do both!

Lozzykinz: JC is just as you all say he is
