@blenkinsopthebrave   and  @cathannabel    There are messages above this but I fudged it up somehow.

@thane16  It is so good to hear from you and to know the family is doing OK. I think a yellow door would be perfect against the blue and white so I say “go for it”. It s too bad that thane junior cannot find work and I have my fingers crossed that he finds a job soon. Like you we usually hang around the house anyway so this is not a stretch for…[Read more]

@missrori  @whisht

Absolutely great advice from Whisht & others. it’s true: life aint fair. I’m real lucky that due to Crohns I have “self isolation down pat” -as my niece said when COVID blew in.

That was just after devastating fires where thousands of people & animals were displaced. Entire towns with huge histories gone overnight even though…[Read more]

“@davros I read somewhere – probably on the Other Place, and whether it was info or speculation I know not – that the same actor played Old Brendan and Ko Sharmus….”

I don’t see how that’s possible. They look completely different.

@cathannabel

Yes, everything you point out do seem like troubling inconsistencies. When Brendon  falls off the cliff, we are led to believe he has also been shot. Yet the newspaper headline makes no reference of that part of his miraculous recovery. When his police superior finds him at the bottom of the cliff he seems genuinely surprised when…[Read more]

@cathannabel  @winston It is a soulful piece. I hope it adds a small measure of comfort and the knowledge that we love you.  Solace isn’t always easy to find. Sometimes it’s in a familiar burst of confidence but nearly always it takes time, measure by measure, to find peace.

When I was young it was just a cool song that I liked but now it is a s…

@cathannabel   I am so sorry for the loss you have suffered. I understand completely that feeling of being in a fog and trying to get clear of it. There is little I can say that will help you get through this except I am thinking of you. We will be here anytime you need us to be.

@cathannabel
I am truly sorry for your loss.
I’ve lost parents, relations and friends but not a sibling.
I don’t have words. But I also don’t have appropriate music.

@thane16 rightly gave Arvo Part. If she hadn’t, that particular piece may have been what I would have posted here.

I tried finding music and am here crying: for you, for my parents…[Read more]

Well, this was fun. 🙂  I think Dhawan is doing a great job with the Master so far. I guessed nothing (although I did wonder why O seemed to smile so much!). I’d prefer the Master to be post-Missy, because I like forward motion and anything else would be a little too much like overwriting a lot of great character development. But we shall see. I…[Read more]

@idiotsavon

Anyway, is there something wrong with my computer? Where are all the posts from new members who signed up to complain about diverse casting?

I think they just sent a representative.

SJW whinge: check

Cuck: Check

@cathannabel ah I suppose it’s a matter of balance. Overall relatively positive at t’other place, more positivity than I’ve seen lately at least. And random box ticking winning hand at bingo troll over here.

Ah but what you have to understand is said troll isn’t just talking about this place, oh no. They’re referring to the internet. The t…[Read more]

Like @cathannabel  and  @janetteB I am finding it difficult to summon up even a flicker of optimism in contemplating the year ahead, but there is still a hope that at least a few gleams of sunshine may pierce what looks to be – at least to some of us –  the impenetrable gloom of the storm clouds ahead. So, to everyone here, my very best wishes fo…[Read more]

Echoing @cathannabel‘s New Year wishes for everyone. I hope that more people can find common ground somewhere this year, and that 2020 will be the year that the world finally begins addressing climate change in a way that matters. Meanwhile, there is still beauty in the world, goodness, and the many small things that make life worthwhile. Let’s…[Read more]

@cathannabel Heavy heart indeed. This is not a New Year’s Eve to celebrate. Sickened right now that fireworks went ahead in Sydney. We did however raise a glass and toast the New Year because we have to hope that it will get better.

Looking forward to Dr Who and Dracula.

Best wishes to all for 2020..

Cheers

Janette

@missy and @cathannabel  I am so sorry for you both and your families. Cancer sucks and it is terrible that you have to go through this with people you love. Please stop in now and then because I know that sometimes distraction is a blessing if only for a little while.Also know that we are thinking of you even if we don’t see you.

@thane16 @cathannabel @janetteb

Thank you so much for your kind words. Life is so unfair is’t it?

My OH kayaked, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink.

I smoke and am sedentary, it should have been me.

He has reached the point where he cannot walk.

I shall pop in now and then to join in Un-Who chats *smiles*

Missy

@cathannabel So sorry to hear about your brother. I hope you are able to be with him for the last few weeks. Such time is precious.

@missy. Sorry too to hear about your husband. I knew he was ill and was concerned for you.

This forum is a good place and long may it remain so. I dread the influx of trolls whenever there is a new season but they…[Read more]

@cathannabel

You have my sympathy, as does your brother.

My OH also has terminal cancer and looking at him yesterday in hospital I would give him weeks.

To add to it, he has sciatica and cannot walk.

So my dear, I am on auto pilot and do what I can, as I am sure do you.

All my best wishes to you.

Missy

@cathannabel – I haven’t the words to truly say how sorry I am to hear about your brother.
Never feel daft or even guilty for going to places where you can find strength, space, peace and even laughter.
We’ll all be here for you and your family.

@cathannabel
Oh shit, that’s awful. There really are no adequate words to bring solace, especially at this time of year when every pain is amplified by contrast.

All I have is solidarity and the warmest thoughts I can muster.
