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]

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]

If you check out all of the posts by @cumquat from over the last few years, there aren’t many (but they’re all really funny) – she comes and then goes.

Sometimes she’s just the ironic hero we need, at the right time.

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]

Sounds like a good game, let’s play.

No. Wait. That came out way more obscene than intended.

Or did it?

“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]

POTD.

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…

@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]

Many thanks for that great contribution. It is very much appreciated. I mean that.

Please buy the Basset Hounds a treat.
