Home water cooler: The Musical

author — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:50:13 +0000

Following the roaring success “Water Cooler Musical” in Chicago in 2009, we thought it was, without a doubt, high time that a similar, although obviously completely original, show was penned. As a starting point, as with all great things there must be at least one, we decided to come up with a song list for our production as we have affectionately named, “Home Water Cooler: From Thirst to Hydration”. Touching, we’re sure you’ll agree. And so, exclusively for our beloved blog readers, the first draft of the musical numbers:
Still or Sparkling?
A Nice Cup of Tea with Kevin
The Ballad of the Fruit Squash
A Leak! A Leak!
A Nice Cup of Tea with Kevin (Reprise)
In Prince’s Gate we Trust
No longer do I Thirst
So, what do you think? If you have any other suggestions for songs, or even a melody that you’d like to record and send into us to become part of this potentially ground-breaking new drama, then please do. We are an inclusive company, after all, and what’s ours in yours. Bring on the Broadway Opening!
If you have any questions about our products, or preferences for West End shows, please do get in touch and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Home water coolers make great pet substitutes

author — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 14:28:24 +0000

Making the decision to have a pet around the house is a big one, and certainly not something that should be taken lightly. For example, if you’re thinking of getting a puppy, who will be around to feed and walk it about a thousand times a day? All that lovely fluffiness comes at a price…if you’re debating the suitability of a kitty/doggy/iguana/miniature hamster chez nous, we’ve drawn up a “home water cooler vs cute animal” list, to see which you think might be suitable for your household:
Small animals:
- Fluffy, can be cuddled, demands attention
- Walks around the house scratching the sofa to pieces and making noise
- Helps the family relax
- Can make mess/need cleaning out

Home water cooler:
- Not fluffy, still behaves itself without receiving cuddles
- Stays in one corner of the kitchen, and remains silent throughout the day
- Helps all the family relax/remain hydrated
- No need to clean it out yourself, our engineers will do it for you on a quarterly basis.
So, if you think you’d prefer to give a home to a lonely home water cooler, please do get in touch and we’ll be happy to talk you through our range of products.

Help your kids concentrate at school with a Home Water Cooler

author — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:42:20 +0000

We love our little ones, the blighters who run around our homes and demand feeding, entertaining and special time with Mummy and Daddy…and of course we especially enjoy it when they resist going off to school of a morning. It is often thought that a solid education from a young age is what provides a good foundation for the journey of life, and thus helping your kids to concentrate throughout the school day, by feeding them a nutritious breakfast and sending them off properly hydrated is essential. Having a home water cooler around the house can help your children develop good drinking (water, that is) habits; packing them up with a bottle of water to sip throughout the day can help improve both the span of their concentration, and the pace at which they grasp new concepts and information. So they can come home and tell you all about it with as much energy as when they left the house in the morning.
If you’d like more information about our products, or the other potential health benefits of drinking mineral water, please do get in touch and one of our team will be able to help answer any questions you may have.

Home water cooler chat: embarrassing parents

author — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 12:15:49 +0000

Bringing the joys of office water cooler moments into one’s home are of utmost importance, and form a significant part of our lives. So in honour of this, we have decided to create a mini-series of blogs, which you can of course use to enhance your own home water cooler chat. This soon-to-be-an institution-so-jump-on-the-bandwagon-immediately series kicks off with our stories about embarrassing parents. We spoke to Francesca, who’s name has been changed to help retain her sense of dignity, about a particularly distressing moment whilst shopping with her mother on the local high road;
“I was only fourteen, sowas obviously throwing a tantrum about being out with my Mum”. Obviously, we agreed. “I was storming ahead, trying to get away, when she called my name. I turned around with the best scowling face I could muster, and what was she doing? Jumping around on the pavement like a monkey, making the noises and everything. Oh, I could have died”.
A pretty mortifying moment, we’re sure you’ll agree. If you’ve got anything worse, we’d love to hear from you. There are plenty of embarrassing parents out there- it’s time to expose them to the world.

Home water cooler chat: Famous people we’ve seen

author — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:32:07 +0000

Following reports that the amount of gossip being exchanged around every home water cooler in the country since the beginning of our mini-series has increased, we thought it our duty to continue the blogging and help our devoted readers with their idle chat. This week, we talk about famous people we’ve seen out and about, and the ways in which they behave when surrounded with ordinary folk.
To begin, Chloe; “I saw Alan Rickman at the theatre in Swiss Cottage in 2008” she sighs. “Oh, I remember it well. He sat right in front of me and my Mum- it was really hard to concentrate on the play. His son looked mortified to be seen out in public with his parents, and Alan’s voice really is as lovely as it sounds on the telly. The rest is all a blur…”.
Her friend Sarah, also present at the interview, retaliates: “Yeah, well, that guy who judges Celebrity Masterchef? His kids are in the same class at school as my friend’s next door neighbours”.
Hmm, nice try Sarah. If you’ve had an encounter with a famous face, please do come and brag about it to us- who knows, you might even get a spot on our blog!

Make yourself more attractive with a home water cooler

author — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 23:00:14 +0000

Making ones self attractive to our romantic interest is something that preoccupies all of us to some extent- some more than others and some are willing to go to relatively extreme lengths to catch the eye of someone special. If you’re looking for a unique way to impress when you bring the person in question back to your digs for the first time, simply point out how “with it” and “down with the kids” whilst casually gesturing to your home water cooler, which can stand sleek and stylish in the kitchen, or indeed anywhere else in the house. We can (almost) guarantee that they will be so completely and utterly impressed, you’ll never look back, and your relationship will go from strength to strength on the basis of this first serious step you took. Who knows, it may even lead to a beautiful pair of coolers, one belonging to each of you. Romance doesn’t get much better than that. Just don’t forget the little people when you’re head over heels in love- we’re starting our hat shopping shortly.
If you have any questions about our products, or would like any more dating/invaluable relationship advice, please do get in touch and we’ll be more than happy to help.

How your home water cooler works

author — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:54:10 +0000

Those of you who are existing customers of ours, or indeed those who are hoping to join our client list, we are sure you spend a lot of time wondering how your marvellous home water cooler actually works/will work once our engineers turn up and install it for you with extraordinary ease and efficiency. This is where we can help, and can, once again, provide you with an answer. So to all those who cry, how DOES my cooler work, here is the science bit:

For cooling the water, there is a compressor at the back of the cooler which makes the water cold. In the olden days, there were two tanks which would store water at different temperatures, but these days, coolers are generally high-tech enough to cool/heat on demand.

For dispensing the water, simple valves inside the cooler release it when the thirsty person in question so desires. Air pockets can disrupt/cause the valves to malfunction, which is how the cooler can sometimes appear to be leaking.

So there we have it, science buffs. Feel free to impress any visitors into your home with our/your technical knowledge- we are pretty generous like that. If you have any queries about our range of coolers or our spring water, please do get in touch and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Romantic ways to make use of your home water cooler

author — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:55:51 +0000

Valentine’s Day is on the minds of many of us, particularly as it seems to be creeping closer and closer…If you’re looking for new and exciting ways to treat the love of your life to something special this year, look no further than your home water cooler, and execute any one of our innovative and ground-breaking ideas, any of which are a sure fire way to impress your someone special:
• Treat them to a lovely cup of tea made from the hot tap on your home water cooler. Delivering it to them in bed along with a continental breakfast is another good way to earn brownie points.
• Use some of the spring water from your home water cooler to make ice cubes; make them special by adding chopped up fruit, jelly heart sweets, or, if you’re feeling very adventurous, a ring…(we cannot guarantee that this is the best way to propose…)
• Get in touch with us and make sure that your water order is taken care of for the next week. You could even set up an automated delivery system so that your other half literally doesn’t have to lift a finger (until they need to pour a drink, that is).
If you have any questions about our products or about setting up a romantic auto-order, please do get in touch and one of our friendly team will be more than happy to help.

Be inspired by your home water cooler

author — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:02:51 +0000

We at Home Water Coolers are a creative lot (or so we like to think…), and part of that is feeling like we can be inspired by things which we find around us, seeing beauty in the seemingly ordinary and mundane, and finding ways in which to express our love of all things, well, watery. This week we’ve been thoughtfully contemplating the ways in which many artists have been known to use various materials to create beautiful pieces which celebrate the purest liquid we know, which gives us life and nourishment, energy and vitality (see, we’re getting there already). Monet’s Waterlillies is probably the most famous example of a watery celebration, beautifully constructed on a canvas.
If you’re looking for something to get to your inner artist, why not invest in a home water cooler, which will not only provide a great source of spring water for whenever you may desire, but will also stand proud and strong as you gaze at it, and decide how to convert your love of this wonderful machine into visuals for all to appreciate and enjoy? Whilst you’re thinking, you can pop over for refreshment, try and different temperatures of water from your cooler, and think some more.
If you find yourself getting artistic, do let us know, and maybe send some pictures of your creations! We always love hearing from you.
