The King (of Pop)…

Naomism: “Isn’t he in Graceland?”

Explanation: Nomes chimes into a discussion about the whereabouts of Michael Jackson’s body

Just like me…

NOTE: Usually, we don’t publish full conversations – but sometimes you just have to:

Nomes: *sings* do you know the way to san-jose…

Lyds: “That was beautiful Nomes.”

Nomes: “I got chucked out of my school choir. I was told my talents lay elsewhere.”

Helen: “Ronan Keating got chucked out of his choir at school.”

Naomism: “No way! We have the same birthday. And he’s almost Irish. Like me.”

Tubular pipes…

Naomism: “They were playing Tubular pipes at work this morning”

Explanation: Not old enough to know Mike Oldfield’s seminal track ‘Tubular Bells‘, Nomes fills in the gaps herself.

The Weirdest Carol…

Naomism: “I quite like this song because it reminds me of Christmas”

Explanation: On listening to ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ by AC/DC (possibly mistaking it for Slade’s ‘Merry Christmas’)

God save the Redeemer…

Naomism: “Is that our National Anthem?”

Explanation: Tim’s playlist was going in the office and on came ‘Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer’ by the Grimthorpe Collery Band, to which half way through something clicked in Nomes’ head
