The NHS has done it!

And Christmas best wishes to Mr Bieber, as well. Apparently his intervention helped tip the balance.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

We have one store in Vancouver that sells all kinds of homemade Ukrainian goodies. My mother lives in Alberta, and she can get all kinds of things there, where they have a greater number of Ukrainians both buying and selling. I used to make perogies (we actually call them “pedehey”, as my family is Ukrainian),…[Read more]

@pedant    I have to admit that I wept my way through that video the first time I watched it (while in my car, waiting for the perogy store to open). It was beautifully done, and the songs worked surprisingly well together. Good for Bieber for those tweets. I’ve never been a fan, but I have always tried to remember that he was far too young for th…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave @bluesqueakpip It has been pointed out today that by posting those tweets he has done more to redeem his image than all the apologies and everything else he has done in the last few years. But from the 2011 quote, and as a recipient of free healthcare, I’m prepared to believe there might be more to it than that. It’s Christmas…[Read more]

Perhaps Jacob Marley sent the boys round. 😀

Damn — the CD player of Rassilon, wasn’t it, playing that stressful modernistic piece, “Torture the Doctor, He Needs it”.

@puroandson  I remember (Son speaking) in Deep Breath when Clara said “I never saw you as a boyfriend, it was never like that” and he said (and this hit me like a wallop) “I never said it was your mistake”.

@morpho   we’ve…[Read more]

@Whisht

Yup. I (and @Blenkinsopthebrave) totally called the CD of Rassilon – in fact, I’m pretty sure I also called its status as a Chekhov’s CD of Rassilon.

So the I Totally Called It Award 2015 (Mysterious Devices Category) will now join the I Totally Called It Award 2013 (Plot Arc Category) on my bookshelf. The 2013 award was for spotting…[Read more]

So, I’m away with work and on a tablet so can’t go back and check, but…..

Am I right in that @bluesqueakpip totally called it months ago??

Though in my fuzzy memory was it also @blenkinsopthebrave ?

Basically the Confession Dial really does seem to have come from Rassilon.

It truly is “The CD of Rassilon”

Bravo!

@blenkinsopthebrave  @puroandson   Bex as a brand name was, as far as I am aware, unknown in the UK. but we did have the equivalent generic APC tablets in our medicine cabinet when I was young.  Nobody took it on a regular basis, but I remember one occasion in particular when I had recourse to it.  Some time previously I had broken a molar so badl…[Read more]

Thanks to all the fine folks who analyzed “Nevada” and trucks. Silly me for not recognizing a Ford Bronco… but then, I’m better at recognizing real “broncos” (various equines). >D

The bonkers theories are nearly more fun than the show.

Did I mention that I love the way they play with time and the timelines of stories? And how much space they…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave

It’s a conspiracy!

how cool would it have been if the man who initially ‘looked after’ the doctor in the desert was Canton Delaware 3rd or maybe the 4th….? 😉
it would have been a further, secure tie up with that whole impossible astronaut diner setting. speaking of which, @blenkinsopthebrave – invisibility does indeed work with a broken chameleon circuit as that…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave

Can’t get that link to go anywhere….

@blenkinsopthebrave

To be fair, we don’t know exactly when Ashildr broke the Tardis…. 😀

@blenkinsopthebrave

Yup.

Sometimes a duck is a duck.

@Blenkinsopthebrave

Which would imply that the Doctor goes to them.

Sorry – wasn’t clear. My assumption was that they summoned him.

@arbutus

I think a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster is indicated!

That should shut me up.

@doctordalek17 @blenkinsopthebrave

In DotD 11 declared that he was still running, but now running home (having improvised a way to make Gallifrey safe – I suspect it went awry and they ended up hidden at the end of time).

In TotD 11 found that bringing the Time Lords back would restart the Time War. But he also discovered where they were (b…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave Mrs Blenkinsop is on the ball. The dialogue is exactly this:

Clara: I thought you said Gallifrey was frozen in another dimension?

The Doctor: Well, they must have unfrozen it and come back.

Clara: How?

The Doctor: I didn’t ask. It would make them feel clever.

@Blenkinsopthebrave

I remember in the episode we’re the Doctor is hiding from the man who is supposed to bring him deveroros (don’t remember the name) he was at Khan so he might have just asked them while he was there.

@blenkinsopthebrave

I think since the sisterhood of Khan knows a lot about timelords and even can force regeneration on one I personally believe they just know where timelords are when they are in the universe… if that makes any sense
