Wordia blog

We’ve had a bit of a whirlwind of filming this week. Four very different personalities got captured by the wordia cameras, united only in their desire to redefine the dictionary. First up we found ourselves skulking around Hampstead Heath with the comedians’ comedian Mr. Tony Law. Tony is a Canadian who’s big in Australia and lives in the UK. After regaling us with his multifarious heritage he casually slipped into one of his definitions that he likes to go on time travelling adventures with his dachshunds. Not being ones to argue we let him get on with it, which he did in fine style, putting us completely at our ease. Especially considering that if we needed to do a re-take we could just ask Tony to take us back in time and have another go without wasting any tape.

Right on the other end of the entertainment spectrum was Mr Midas – the UK’s number one dancehall artist. This is one dude who hates the cold. Screaming his frustrations at the British weather from the pit of his well-tuned lungs. So it was just as well that we made him film all three definitions for us outside in temperatures close to freezing. In hindsight we probably should have explained ourselves better when we called the day before to tell him we had a cool location in mind.

Next we had every male teenager from the 90s’ sticky tissue generator: Melinda Messenger. Melinda’s the latest celebrity to bring out their own branded fragrance. Not being versed in the art of perfumery we were amused when reading the press release that perfumes traditionally have three tones to their odour: ‘top notes’, ‘heart notes’ and ‘bottom notes’. To us a bottom note conjures up images of an embarrassing expellation of noxious gas from betwixt one’s buttocks, not the subtle hint of a spring meadow that Melinda was going for, and certainly not something to have blended into a perfume. Having said that Melinda was such a joy to meet and work with that it doesn’t seem beyond the realms of fantasy that her farts do indeed smell of freshly cut flowers.

Finally we were out and about with movie actress Margo Stilley. Like Tony, Margo seemed to be a person with a foot in several continents. She was born in the USA, lives in London and is about to go and do some charity work in Africa. It made us momentarily jealous of these celebrities’ globetrotting lifestyles, before remembering that where there’s a computer, there’s wordia. So although in one way we’re in London, in another way we’re also everywhere………sort of.

In on-site news Nick Clegg’s democracy is still number 1 in the wordia charts. Do you have any new favourites or can the man from Europe’s best-supported third party hang onto the top spot for another week.  Also our fab competition is still open for a few more days. So don’t forget to define power, communion, alive and goodness for your chance to win some christmas cash.

As always, keep it wordia.
