We need to talk about Kevin Eldon
He's the comedian you've seen on telly but whose name you might not know. That's about to change. Hugh Montgomery meets the next big thing
Sunday 10 March 2013
"I'm Banksy" Kevin Eldon confesses halfway through our interview. So that's one cause célèbre cleared up, then. Well that, or a slightly flummoxed funnyman is treating my deeply teen mag-style question "What's the most interesting thing about you that no-one knows?" with the silliness it deserves.
Still, if Eldon isn't quite the international man of mystery, then his career has thrived on anonymity. He has, after all, given memorable performances in approximately 63 per cent of great British TV comedies over the past two decades. From Alan Partridge to Black Books and Brass Eye to Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle: you name it, he's stolen scenes in it. And yet while he has acquired a cult status among hardcore comedy fans, most people would struggle to put a name to the malleable face. Which is just the way he's always liked it. "It wasn't my ambition to have my name in lights," he says.
Except now his name is illuminated – or rather spelled out in big block capitals and strewn with confetti, which seems a close enough small-screen equivalent. That's thanks to the title credits of It's Kevin; his own headline, six-part sketch show, it's the culmination of a three year purple patch that has seen the hallowed supporting player finally move centre stage via acclaimed solo stand-up and Radio 4 shows. It's also destined to make you honk like a dyspeptic donkey.
At 53 years old, it seems, Eldon is the next big thing – indeed, he chortles over a recent magazine piece which listed him among its "ones to watch" ("alongside four other people definitely old enough to be my children", he quips). And how to account for this mid-life career ascent? "In 1978, I was wearing white flares, I didn't start doing stand-up until I was thirty and I became a dad last year…for some reason I just seem to come to everything late," he muses puzzledly.
In any case, age seems irrelevant to his giddy craft. When It's Kevin was announced last year, the press release saw Eldon express his joy in idiosyncratic terms. "I have always liked chaffinches," he maintained. "The money I may receive from this show may well allow me to buy more pictures of [them]." And, duly, the show is gloriously bird-brained stuff, eschewing topicality or pop-culture parody in favour of unfettered, timeless surrealism. Think Hitler with the voice of Beatles producer Sir George Martin, fly psychiatry and a disquisition on sandwiches.
To reference the title of his 2010 stage show, Eldon's comedy is primarily a matter of "titting about." "It's horribly predictable but what I grew up with is Monty Python and what I liked about their thing was the fact that they didn't seem to have any rules. Wanton silliness for the sake of silliness…that's always stuck with me."
Not that Eldon was always set for a life of clowning around. In his teens and twenties, he had designs on being a rock star and, as frontman of band Virginia Doesn't, supported Joe Jackson and The Jam. He remembers those days with a mixture of fondness and embarrassment. "Musically [the songs] still sound great, but what let them down were my sub-Weller lyrics…they were terribly earnest: [things like] "I look around at my everyday/looks like bombs and strikes are here to stay/the hate and malice of the people around/are bringing me down." Another two band incarnations followed, before he finally called time on his music career with the arrival of the New Romantics. "I wore a rugby top and a pair of old filthy trousers with the crotch split so I wasn't really going to get on."
Next came a stint at a drama school and a standard issue of period of thespian destitution. Then, in the early Nineties, frustrated and wanting take a more active role in his career, he made his way onto the comedy circuit with a character he had devised, dribbling anorak Kevin Boyle. "As soon as I started doing stand-up, I felt these are my people," he says. Those people included young turks Stewart Lee and Richard Herring, who gave him his big TV break with a couple of prime roles in their debut BBC show, Fist of Fun: that of "king of hobbies" Simon Quinlank and the fake Rod Hull. They also branded him "The Actor Kevin Eldon," a prefix still lovingly bandied around on Twitter when referring to him eighteen years on.
Joke that it is, however, it also hints at the versatility that has allowed him such a prolific CV. Meanwhile the respect with which he is held by his peers is clear from It's Kevin's roll-call of guest stars: Julia Davis, Adam Buxton, Simon Munnery, Amelia Bullmore and Bill Bailey, to name but some.
Indeed, it's clear Eldon is very much a company man – he's at pains to emphasise the collaborative nature of It's Kevin and the creative input of other writers. He also says his decade-plus long absence from solo work was driven by a mixture of "laziness and a certain amount of cowardice…if you're hiding in someone else's shows and it goes wrong, then that's ok, you were only taking orders."
He's also used to hiding in characters. With It's Kevin, he says, he initially struggled with the connecting segments in which he wanders about a blank studio, essentially being himself. "The big difference from the radio show is that when I was speaking as myself [on that], I adopted a slightly uneasy persona, which I hadn't noticed I was doing…it sounded like a substandard children's presenter."
Off-screen as well as on, meanwhile, it's clear he's not a natural at self-exposure. The show's producer sits in on our interview, to give him confidence, I am told. As it happens, he doesn't seem nervous, just a bit bemused by the promo process: "I don't like talking about myself….it's boring for me and boring for other people, but, you know, I'll do it, because maybe I should be more at ease with it." He cursorily lists off the bare facts of his personal life – lives in North London, girlfriend of seven years, daughter – as if answering a census. One interesting biographical detail is that he is a twenty three year-long Buddhist. "It's about ritualised positive thinking - trying to daily turn all that negativity in life around into good stuff…and when, a show gets cancelled, passionately banging the person-who-cancelled-it's head against the door," he quips.
Indeed, on the basis of It's Kevin first two episodes, you'd have to say that any commissioner who didn't support it to the hilt should be frogmarched out of Broadcasting House forthwith – one critic has already tweeted it is "the funniest thing I've seen in probably three and a half years." Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how it fares within the cosy enclave of the Sunday night schedules, up against David Suchet pootling about in a documentary series on Agatha Christie.
What is clear is that is that its sense of creative abandon feels all too rare in the TV comedy landscape. But though Eldon has been caustic on such matters in the past – his stand-up show featured a brilliant impersonation of Michael McIntyre - today he is more sanguine. "I was being a bit naughty….observational comedy can be brilliant, but I would argue if it just becomes describing something you do, one ought to work a bit harder…but a lot of people like that and find that reassuring" he says, doubling back, with a only a hint of sarcasm in this voice.
Meanwhile Eldon himself will continue to amuse and bemuse in equal measure – he's currently writing a mock-biography of one of his old characters, poet Paul Hamilton, and a sitcom pilot set in a homeless drop-in centre. And then what about those chaffinch portraits? "I've got scouts out around various chaffinecheries..and there is a chaffinchalogue being drawn up. I'll spend up to £9000 on chaffinch-related objects," he says, with some specificity.
It's Kevin begins 10.30pm, Sunday 17th March on BBC2

Acxiom Corp.
Nancy GriebelAs team leader for Acxiom Corp.'s Marketing Communications Group, Nancy Griebel heads an eight-person staff that handles the firm's companywide communications.
Griebel personally handles Acxiom's annual report to shareholders and the company's Internet site.

Combined K-12 and college back-to-school spending will reach $83.8 billion in 2012, making it second only to the winter holidays as the biggest consumer spending event of the year, according to the National Retail Federation Back-to-School spending survey conducted by BIGinsight.
K-12 Back-to-School Spending
The average person with children in grades K-12 will spend $688.62 on their children, up from $603.63 in 2011. Total spending is expected to reach $30.3 billion. NRF said more kids are starting elementary school in 2012, and parents who cut back on back-to-school spending in 2011 are going shopping to replace items that kids had to "make do" with in 2011.
Parents estimate they'll spend an average of $217.88 on electronics. Nearly six in 10 - 59.6% - will buy some sort of electronic device, up from 51.9% who planned to do so last year.
Back-to-College Spending
NRF's 2012 Back-to-College Survey, also conducted by BIGinsight, found college students and their families will spend an average of $907.22 - up from $808.71 in 2011. Total back-to-college spending is expected to be $53.5 billion.
But the survey also shows 83.5% of back-to-college shoppers' spending plans are being impacted by the economy. More are comparative shopping online (34.6% in 2012, up from 30.7% in 2011) and shopping online (20.5% in 2012, from 18.8% in 2011.) More parents will also ask their college kids to make-do with last year's items (31.2%, up from 29.7%).
Home furnishing stores, where college students often shop for small appliances and bed/bath sets, will see a jump in traffic this year, the survey said: 16.4% of back-to-college shoppers will shop at a home furnishings or home decor store, up from 11.2% in 2011. Shoppers will also head for:
* discount stores: 51.9%
* department stores: 45.4%
* drug stores: 22.3%
* office supplies stores: 40.3%
* clothing stores: 34.8%
* electronics stores: 21.1%
* thrift stores: 15.0%
Electronics purchases are planned by 54.0% of college choppers, up from 45.8% in 2011. The average back-to-college shopper will spend $216.40 on electronics.
Back-to-college shoppers will also spend an average of $100.27 on dorm furnishings.

Report: Cavs, Wolves Reach Agreement on Kevin Love Trade
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves have reached an agreement in principle that would send All-Star forward Kevin Love to the Cavs, according to a report from Yahoo! Sports. According to the report, the Timberwolves receive Andrew Wiggins, the top pick in this year's draft; Anthony Bennett, the top pick in last year's draft who struggled as a rookie; and a 2015 protected first-round pick. Love joins LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in Cleveland, forming arguably the best trio in the NBA
SH Blog: Jerry Reinsdorf Refutes Reports Of Rift With Derrick Rose
The owner of the Chicago Bulls Jerry Reinsdorf, released a surprise statement in response to reports that there was growing tension within the organization. The response comes after local Chicago media released a story that there was a growing rift between the Bulls front office, and former MVP Derrick Rose.
Three-Man Weave: What Deal Should Wolves Take for Love?
The recent rookie signings of Doug McDermott in Chicago and Andrew Wiggins in Cleveland put the possibility of a Kevin Love trade in a temporary holding pattern. Rookies cannot be traded in the first 30 days after signing their deals, so we are looking at late August before Minnesota Timberwolves GM Flip Saunders can complete a deal for his All-Star power forward. But that doesn't mean Saunders can't discuss those deals or another possible trade with the Golden State Warriors, whose proposal does
Tweet of the Day: Derrick Rose Impresses At Team USA Practice
Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose has spent an almost innumerable amount of time (years, months, weeks, days, hours…) focused on rehabilitation while sidelined with injuries. Finally, he is back. At least, that was the hope heading into Monday's Team USA practice in Las Vegas. Sometimes, hope is all you have. Then, there are the bright spots where your hope is superseded by reality. This could be one of those times. Reaction from those who were at the practice seems to be quite

After missing all of the 2012-13 season, Rose finally made his return last year for the start of the '13-14 season. Unfortunately his return was short-lived as re-injured himself after playing just 10 games. Though some would wonder why Rose would risk further injury playing

David Lewis Paget
The Waker of Dreams
'I'm tired, so tired, ' said Jonathon Black,
'I can hardly stay awake, '
His wife just stared at the back of his head,
Went back to her currant cake.
She'd heard it all a million times
Was bored with the things he'd say,
She wished he'd pack up his things, sometimes
And quietly go away.
But Jonathon sat in his bamboo chair
And stared at the world outside,
He used to be full of energy,
But something inside him died,
He lived in the shadows of tides and scenes
That were conjured behind his eyes,
The throwaway remnants of others dreams
He'd capture in tears and sighs.
He spent the afternoon nodding off
Then woke with a startled cry,
'You wouldn't believe what I saw just now,
Right out of a clear blue sky.
A shadow crept from the bushes there
And it killed young Andrew Deems, '
Giselle had tutted and shook her head,
'Just one of your stupid dreams! '
The woods, a favourite lovers spot
Stretched out from their own back door,
Giselle would go with a basket there
Looking for mushroom spore.
'I saw you out in the woods today
But nothing is what it seems, '
She turned and snapped at her husband's back,
'Just keep me out of your dreams! '
'It isn't a question of that, ' he said,
'I can't control what I see,
Wherever a person's thoughts are at
They keep on coming to me.
Even the strangers that walk on past
Have secrets they send in beams,
You'd think that they would be safe from me
But I'm the waker of dreams.
Giselle had wandered off to the woods
With her basket held on high,
While Jonathon found and loaded his gun,
Went after her with a sigh,
He found her there in a shady nook
In a huddle with Andrew Deems,
'I thought I'd warned you, often enough,
You didn't believe, it seems! '
He shot the lad as he tried to run
Then dropped the gun to his side,
'All I could see in his dreams was you,
But now, that dream has died.'
'And what will you do with me, ' said she
And bit her lip 'til it bled,
'I'm tired, so tired, ' said Jonathon Black
Then put the gun to his head.

So seeing as we're in the middle of October and I am almost certainly going back to school instead of for another job at this point, it's come the time to start making Christmas presents. Especially considering how many Christmas presents I'm going to end up making.
As such, the loom got warped and I am in the midst of weaving up my first scarf of the season. I'm also trying out a yarn that, amazingly enough, no one seems to have tried weaving with yet (and it's like, a Knit Picks yarn! What the what?!) so I'm happy that I'll be adding the first weaving project to that yarn's project page for other folks to see.
So far, it's actually weaving up wonderfully. i love how the color is playing on it and it's holding up really well as both warp and weft.with no abrasion showing and definitely no pilling or anything. I'm not sure if I could make a whole scarf with just one skein of this stuff given the size of scarves I prefer, so i put a block of black which'll go at either end. I do like how it's looking knit up,though. And I can't wait to do another one of these.
So this poor plaid. This POOR plaid. i have tried to make this scarf twice now and I just lost all omph for it halfway through AGAIN. That's all right, though. It was long enough to make a perfectly warm and lovely cowl when i sewed it together with a cute little fluffy edge!
Which also gave me the opportunity to make the most terrible joke in the world: this scarf was originally called 'Scarf McCall' on my Ravelry, in honor of my favorite Teen Wolf alpha. It is now entitled 'Scott McCowl' because I am, in fact, a ball of cheese in human form.
Sorry not sorry.
it is now cold and I somehow do not think I have enough scarves. time to rewarp the baby loom and get a weaving on a couple of super simple multicolor scarves!
As you can see, I've found a little treasure trove of BFL and BFL/Silk skeins while I was cleaning up for a visit and it's put me into a bit of a dyeing tizzy. This one went to a friend as a little present but it went by Calliope before it got tossed into the little gift bag.
I've since wandered into spinning again since I got my desk all set up so expect some yarn… soonish? Hopefully soonish? it's going a bit slow since I'm spinning fine and it's this really awesome Six Sheep Sampler that I picked up ages ago up at WEBS with my friend and it's a whole 8oz that I'm going to do…
Probably fractal? Maybe gradient? Maybe looping gradient? Not sure! I figure I'll spin the first half and see how I feel but the colors are gorgeous so I figure I can't really screw it up too easily.
I've been playing with some dyeing lately and I found a couple of skeins of worsted/aran 100% BFL and decided to play with neons on it, since it's not too often I see BFL dyed up so brightly, at least not at this weight. This one I'm calling Lisa Frankly for… well, obvious reasons ^_^

NAMM 2011: Beyerdynamic Announces New DT 1350 Headphones
German audio specialists Bayedynamic has revealed details about its new DT 1350 professional monitoring headphones with Tesla technology being launched at this years NAMM show.
DT 1350 is the first professional monitoring headphone in beyerdynamic's new generation of headphones that feature Tesla technology.
The completely re-engineered Tesla drivers create a headphone which delivers an enormous degree of efficiency with extremely low levels of distortion, allowing the DT 1350 to produce a perfectly balanced, accurate sound even at the highest volumes.
A combination of ambient noise reduction and maximum sound pressure level of 129 dB make the DT 1350 headphones an ideal compact over-ear headphone for any environment.
The perfectly balanced, accurate sound means the DT 1350 headphones works perfectly for every day studio use or when simply enjoying music at home or on the move.
The removable, soft ear cushions and flexible headband ensure the headphones sit securely and remain comfortable even during prolonged periods of use and the ear cups swivel 90 degrees allowing 'single-ear' monitoring.
Traditional dynamic systems use a neodymium magnet at the centre of the system, the size of which was inevitably limited inside the headphone cup.
The Tesla principle sees the magnet mounted as a ring around the coil, allowing more energy to be directed to the membrane, which is where it is actually required.
The exceptionally pure sound produced by the Tesla systems is the result of the close attention to countless small details.Posted on 7 Jan 2011 11:36 to category : Instruments News

Release Date:
February 1, 2011
Not far into the first track on the sole, self-titled Hard Water album, it's pretty obvious these guys had to be big Buffalo Springfield fans. The hard folk-rock riffs, the soaring harmony vocals, and the way the drums push the beat can't fail to recall Springfield classics like "Rock 'n' Roll Woman" and "Mr. Soul" (whose squelched, backwards distorted guitar riffs are even echoed in some cuts). Perhaps there's a bit of the San Francisco sound, à la early Jefferson Airplane or Moby Grape, in some of the guitar tones and harmonies as well. You can't fault young musicians for admiring the best, but they might have benefited from someone -- say, the respected producer of this 1968 Capitol album, David Axelrod -- taking them aside and advising them to put more of themselves into their songwriting and arrangements. Instead, it's a little like hearing Buffalo Springfield Revisited again, but with considerably less substance, especially in the songwriting department. If you're not one to demand something of the level of their inspirations, and just want to hear a rarity that's reminiscent of the Springfield in some ways, Hard Water isn't bad (though as heavily Springfield-influenced bands of the time go, the Penny Arkade are much better). The country-tinged folk-rock is tight, though there isn't much of the humor heard in much Springfield, and it's more on the Stephen Stills side than the Neil Young one in the songwriting department. "City Sidewalks" is one of the less derivative numbers and a mild standout for that reason, edging toward the overly earnest with a lead vocal in the pinched, early Bee Gees mold. "To Nowhere" is also a bit of a departure into bittersweet acoustic balladry that's a bit poppier and more sentimental than the Springfield and their ilk usually got. The album really is an OK listen, despite its faults, but its appeal is probably limited to collectors who are especially big fans of late-'60s California folk-rock (with some pop and country in the mix). [The 2011 CD reissue on Tune In adds the single version of "Plate of My Fare," as well as historical liner notes with quotes from bandmembers.] Richie Unterberger, Rovi

The tickets to the April 12 rematch between eight-division title holder Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley must be so hot that American actor and comedian Will Ferrell willingly paid $24,000 for two ringside seats.

The normal ticket price is $1,000, but Ferrell took part in one of several charity auctions on Tuesday in California.
Also present at the auction was Bradley, who noted the comedian's big heart and being a boxing fan who wants to really watch his return match with the Filipino boxing champion.
Will and Manny are actually friends and have an MTV singing the John Lennon classic Imagine.
The main event of the 10th yearly Desert Smash held at the La Quinta Resort & Spa was to raise funds for Cancer for College, a charity established by Craig Pollard, a fraternity brother of Ferrell at USC.
The star of Anchorman and ex-Saturday Night Live player also participated in the Will Powered Gold Classic at the resort's Big Horn Golf Club on Monday. He teamed with his wife and played against actors Joel McHale and Rebel Wilson.
Bradley took time off from his training for the April 12 rematch. Other celebrity athletes who came include tennis players Novak Djokovic and Stanislas Spacey. Actor Kevin Spacey assisted in auctioning off the two ringside tickets.

MOSCOW — Russian film lovers can explore a treasure trove of Soviet films as legendary movie studio Mosfilm has posted dozens of its most famous films on YouTube for anyone to watch for free.
The films, legendary for many Russians but often little known in the West, include the comedies of Georgian-Russian director Georgi Daneliya, "Gentlemen of Fortune" and "Mimino"; "The White Sun Of The Desert," a much-loved adventure story set in Central Asia that is always watched by cosmonauts before a space launch; and classic melodramas such as Eldar Ryazanov's "A Cruel Romance" with Nikita Mikhalkov and "A Railway Station for Two" starring the late Lyudmila Gurchenko.
Every week, the studio will upload five new films onto the channel, the studio said in an official press release, and expects to have 200 by the end of the year.
Other films uploaded include "Andrei Rublev" and "The Mirror," two works by one of Russia's greatest art-house directors, Andrei Tarkovsky.
"For us, the YouTube project is very important and interesting," Karen Shakhnazarov, director of Mosfilm, said in a statement on the studio's web site.
"The aim is to give users the possibility to legally watch high-quality video material and prevent the illegal use of our films," he said.
The studio has worked with YouTube to remove pirated versions of their films uploaded onto the site.
"Most of the films will be uploaded with subtitles in different languages so people from different countries can watch Mosfilm pictures," Shakhnazarov said.
At the moment, nearly all the films are up with subtitles in English, with only a couple found without any. The 1991 film "Tsareubiista," or "Assassin of the Tsar," starring English actor Malcolm McDowell as an insane asylum patient who claims to have killed the Tsar and Oleg Yankovsky as a doctor, is up in both English and Russian versions.
The channel has had more than 170,000 views since it started last week, and as of Monday, almost all of the films had more than 1,000 views. A few films see noticeable drops in viewing when the film is in two parts. Tarkovsky's critically acclaimed 3-hour, 25-minute film about the great 15th-century icon painter Andrei Rublev saw 2,156 views of its first part and only 414 of the second part.
The most popular film so far is "Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession," a 1973 comedy starring acclaimed actor Yury Yakovlev that sold 60 million tickets when in Soviet cinemas and has had more than 15,000 views on YouTube already.
The channel is already in the top 50 of Russian channels on YouTube.
Mosfilm already screens 582 of its films on its web sites for free and with subtitles in different languages, and for a small payment viewers can download the films, but the YouTube channel is a far more accessible and speedy variant.
Mosfilm acquired its present name in 1935 but the studio began working in the 1920s after the Bolsheviks nationalized film production.
The studio's symbol, the "Worker and Collective Farm Worker" statue, is shown at the start of each film and is as well-known in Russia as the fanfare and searchlight of 20th Century Fox films.

Road Trip Chaos: What Does Boston Think of Mitt Romney?
Sep 6 2012
A couple weekends back I somehow found myself in Boston, trolling around the city with Newsweek/The Daily Beast national security correspondent Eli Lake. We were there to interview Bostonians—historically outspoken liberals—about how they felt having Mitt Romney's campaign headquarters in their backyard. I'm pretty sure that, at first, Eli thought I was a rube, some duder from VICE who his bosses were forcing to co-host a show with so they could tap into "da youth." But by the end of our short road trip (which quickly devolved into near-chaos) we had bonded over various things, most of which I cannot disclose here for matters of both national and personal security. What I can talk about are many subjects that would be redundant to discuss, mostly because we filmed them and you can watch what happened above. In case you're still not sold, I'll just include a few non sequitur phrases here to serve as a teaser: almost getting arrested on an Amtrak train; almost having the cops called on us outside Mitt HQ; a pro-Romney pizza parlor; a weird Italian festival with 15-year-olds who love Romney and think Bain Capital is a character from The Dark Knight Rises; a drag queen who wouldn't "suck Mitt Romney's dick for all the money in the world"; drinking with a pipe-fitter union guy in the shittiest bar in Boston; etc., etc., etc….

Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox Inc. withdrew its $75 billion takeover offer for Time Warner Inc., the owner of HBO and Warner Bros.
Murdoch, the chairman and founder of Fox, said he's backing down after Time Warner's board refused to engage in talks and Fox's stock price declined 11 percent since the offer became public. Fox instead authorized a $6 billion repurchase of its Class A shares.
"Time Warner management and its board refused to engage with us to explore an offer which was highly compelling," Murdoch, 83, said in a statement today. "Additionally, the reaction in our share price since our proposal was made undervalues our stock and makes the transaction unattractive to Fox shareholders. These factors, coupled with our commitment to be both disciplined in our approach to the combination and focused on delivering value for the Fox shareholders, has led us to withdraw our offer."
Shares of Fox rose 8.6 percent to $34 at 4:12 p.m. New York time in late trading. Time Warner dropped 10 percent to $76.64 in late trading.
Keith Cocozza, a spokesman for Time Warner, didn't immediately respond to a phone call or e-mail seeking comment.

"PartyIsntOver/Campfire/Bimmer" (feat. Laetitia Sadier & Frank Ocean)
Much like Tyler's 2011 official debut Goblin, Wolf is way too long. It's a pretty daunting moment when you're slogging through the middle of this seven-minute, three-part song and realize that the album is only at its half-way point. "Bimmer," at least, with its icy, classic Clipse vibe, ends the trilogy on a high note.

Singapore's panda exhibit draws 2,000 on first day
Publication Date : 30-11-2012
Pandas Kai Kai and Jia Jia drew 2,000 visitors on the first day their enclosure was opened to the public.
Ken Chew and his two children, aged three and five, arrived at the Singapore Zoo at 7:20am yesterday thinking that they would have to join a long line of eager visitors waiting to buy tickets.
But they found themselves first in line as no one else had turned up so early, perhaps because it was a weekday.
"My kids had asked me to take them to see the pandas so I'm here," said the 40-year-old bank executive.
"I was expecting a long queue though," he added.
The two pandas arrived at the Singapore Zoo from China on a 10-year loan more than two months ago.
When sales of tickets to view them started at 8:30am, there were about 30 people in the queue.
But by 11am, some 700 tickets to the Giant Panda Forest, the first attraction at the upcoming River Safari, had been snapped up.
For now, visitors to the panda exhibit have to enter from the zoo because the River Safari is not up yet.
"The turnout is within our expectations for a weekday," said Isabel Cheng, chief marketing officer of Wildlife Reserves Singapore.
"We expect more visitors over the weekend, and in the coming weeks, especially seeing that the year-end holidays are upon us."
Most of the zoo visitors yesterday were children and their parents who had taken a day off from work for a family outing. Both young and old visitors were excited to see the black and white bears in the enclosure.
Their verdict of the pair? "So cute" was the common remark.
Despite being allowed only 15 minutes in the enclosure, most left the panda exhibit satisfied.
Interior designer Edwin Wong, 48, said: "The enclosure is very well- designed. Compared with Hong Kong's Ocean Park, you feel closer to the animal because there is no glass in between."
Four-year-old Megan Leong got to take home a pair of panda plush toys her father had bought at a souvenir store.
"Jia Jia is for me and Kai Kai is for mei mei (younger sister)," she said.
The exhibit is open daily from 9am to 6pm. Visitors must buy zoo admission tickets (S$20 for adults, S$13 for children) and pay an extra S$5 (adult) or S$3 (child) to see the pandas.

GAME NOTES: The Maine Black Bears seek their first win since Nov. 10, as they clash with the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders as part of the annual Dr. Pepper Classic at McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Maine's lone win this season was a 111-64 thrashing of Fisher more than a month ago, which means the team is still waiting for that first victory over a Division I foe. Most recently, the Black Bears were taken down by Providence on the road, 94-70, back on Dec. 21.
As for the Blue Raiders, they have a much more impressive record of 8-4 at the moment, although the list of victims doesn't exactly scream dominance for a team which has scored triple figures against the likes of Fisk and Tennessee Temple in order to boost its stats. The latest outing for the program had it stopping at Cincinnati last weekend and leaving with an awkward 69-48 loss.
Following this first-ever meeting, both teams will be back in action on Monday against either host Chattanooga or Grand Canyon, depending on the outcomes of both matchups today.
Middle Tennessee held the Bearcats to a mere 6-of-23 shooting from the field and 21 points in the first half of their meeting, but at the same time the Blue Raiders also shot the ball poorly (5-of-21) and it only got slightly better in the second half (7-of-24), en route to the lopsided setback. The visitors didn't have a single starter score in double figures, although Tweety Knight did finish with a team-best 10 rebounds to go along with seven points and five assists, not to mention six turnovers. Off the bench, Kerry Hammonds accounted for 17 points on 5-of-8 shooting behind the 3-point line.
Hammonds is currently third on the scoring list for the season with 11.9 ppg, trailing Shawn Jones and Neiko Hunter who are responsible for 13.4 and 12.8 ppg, respectively. Jones, a 61.9 percent shooter from the floor who is smart enough to know that taking shots from beyond the arc is not his forte, is also first on the glass with 7.7 rpg. Knight (8.5 ppg) has tried to compensate for just 39.5 percent shooting by handing out 58 assists and making 24 steals to pace the group in those two categories.
Maine came up with a respectable 70 points in the last outing, but when you consider the team allowed 94 to the Friars it really did make much of a difference. Zarko Valjarevic shot 6-of-8 from the floor, including 4-of-5 behind the 3-point line, as he finished with 16 points for the Black Bears, followed by Xavier Pollard with 15 points and a team-best five rebounds. The team shot the ball well enough from the field (.509), but they were crushed on the glass by a 46-23 margin.
Running with a four-guard offense, Maine figures to be at a disadvantage when it comes to hitting the boards and that couldn't more the case with the team collecting 32.9 rpg but allowing 43.8 rpg. Doing his best to make sure there are not too many rebounds to be had to begin with, Pollard is shooting 52.3 ppg as he leads the unit with 16.7 ppg. Dimitry Coronel (13.7 ppg), Valjarevic (13.4 ppg) and Shaun Lawton (10.0 ppg) have also been key figures for an offense generating 75.8 ppg.
Permitting a whopping 90.0 ppg over the course of 10 games, the Black Bears are appearing more and more like patsies in this meeting and the one tomorrow. Keeping this meeting from being a blowout loss would at least be a moral victory for Maine.
