@craig, @jimthefish, @phaseshift, @bluesqueakpip, @whisht, @mudlark, @thane16, @janetteb, @winston, @rob, @fatmaninabox and..@everyone
It feels a bit quiet on the site and circumstances seem to be moving fast, and more of us (of a certain age) seem to be self-isolating. Hopefully, things will pass, but it would be great if there was a place where…[Read more]

Craig replied to the topic It Takes You Away
Thanks for all the responses last night everyone. I’d had a few wines, as you maybe could tell, but as @cumquat says, we have a great sense of community.
I don’t know if I’ve ever posted this link before so just in case – we were in a documentary about cancer patients. Just thought you might be interested. And, yes, we did get married by Elvis…[Read more]

Thank you for all this and the diagram -I shall respond! Also, “sand is acidic.”
That’s interesting. I’ve always assumed sand is, well, sand! With a normal pH and not at all acidic. I suspect my brother the geologist would know all this. But, sadly, he’s too grumpy for questions of that nature. It’s the rocks that done…[Read more]

@pedant I suspect your keyboard has a delete key and so I deduce that Finger The @Cumquat is precisely as obscene as you intended. 🙂
Sounds like a good game, let’s play.

No hang on, that’s Eurotrash.

Let’s play Finger The @Cumquat
No. Wait. That came out way more obscene than intended.
Or did it?

@cumquat I can only apologise (and thus compound the wrong) but, like @idiotsavon, I can only say, I try, but I fail. For example, while I flexed my fingers over my laptop with the purpose of pouring out a torrent of abuse in response to your posting, I have all but lost control of my fingers which insist on asking you:
Really five Basset…[Read more]

“this propensity to civility and this use of reason in the development of an argument”
Oh come on now that’s a bit strong. Did it never occur to you that some of us on here might not be the polite, reasonable people you take us for? Maybe we’re just really, really incompetent trolls.
I come on here with every intention of trolling. It…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave Mrs Blenkinsop and I just watched the last episode of series 10 . . . Looking back on that episode, I feel that Moffat could not simply do grand emotion, but grand emotion that was almost operatic.
Nothing “almost” about it — I think it’s the operatic intensity that really caught me up in the Moffat era, because I am a…[Read more]

@seeoswald As to the three shows that you have referred to as having “Canadian influence”, well, okay, they were all filmed in Vancouver. I live there and know people in the film industry there, and I can say with certainty that the only Canadian thing about those shoes was that they used local crew and extras, they filmed in our streets, an…[Read more]

blenkinsopthebrave replied to the topic The Girl Who Died
Lots of great reflections on the board (of course). And not everyone agrees with each other—sorry, @cumquat!
Agree with @countscarlioni that this was a very deep episode lying beneath a seemingly-lighthearted romp. And it is for this reason that I liked this episode so much more than last week, when I felt that Whithouse was saying: “Look at how…[Read more]

Thanks for these comments –
I absolutely love Capaldi as the Doctor . . . I never felt that he was cold, callous, uncaring etc. or un-Doctorlike . . . I think he might really be the Doctor
Somebody over at — doctorwhotv, maybe — posted (more or less) this about Capaldi a little while ago: “Somehow they got confused, looki…

@cumquat I know this will be tough for you to take, but as a troll of course you *completely* deserve it — lovely to have you aboard, oh Mother of Bassets!

Also, welcome @cumquat. Absolutely brilliant first post! 🙂
@purofilion Some of those forum rules I have seen before but a few are really strange. Don’t use replies or tags? So they actually don’t want conversations at all, which I thought was the point? And don’t use Latin is just sad. I used to be better at Latin than I am today, but if s…[Read more]

@cumquat We don’t have a like button, but have a “like” anyway. I’m sure that will be something, as a troll or hater, that you will dislike. 🙂
Many thanks for that great contribution. It is very much appreciated. I mean that.
Please buy the Basset Hounds a treat.
