@janetteb and @thane16   Hope you both had a good day. I wish I could send you some cold because you are way too hot there and we have plenty to spare. Your feasts sound yummy and I would love a juicey summer nectarine or peach.Mmmmmm.

@miapatrick  Your day sounds perfect and I love Christmas doggies.

@kevinwho  I just watched that one and it…[Read more]

@kevinwho

Indeed we are. But I had a moment….wherein the roast pork, left in fridge for too long, wasn’t going to crackle. To the god crattklexporokox I prayed (also called the Bosch oven handbook) and soon ……(within 10 mins) we had pork crackling with potatoes dauphin  – – @mudlark when returning would know the origin of said spuds – – and…[Read more]

I know we are at the end of a series, when contributions slow down, but it does seem that the activity on the site has slowed down considerably in comparison to what it used to be like.

I am not entirely sure why this should be so, but this site has been running for a number of years, and we have had so many regular contributors who,…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox Many thanks, now dealt with.

@fatmaninabox a sort-of kebab (no calculator but with chilli) as I mentioned that….person. 🙁

@mudlark

Now, mudders! Definitely you wrote a post describing the furious winter experience from which I took a “whoa, THAT’S a serious winter. That. Right there.” 😉

Not to worry. If it was more humorous than, “awful. This is awful” awful then…[Read more]

@Fatmaninabox

For thee:

Puro and T16

@fatmaninabox

Thanks! Will investigate.

@fatmaninabox

You made me think of hungover Sunday mornings in a Balham house-share and Channel 4’s line up of The Wonder Years, followed by a rotation of Bonanza, The Invaders or The Fugitive followed by The Waltons in full and in order (up to and including Wrong John Boy).

If TP ever shows the 1954 Peter Cushing 1984, now that’s work a…[Read more]

@arbutus

I think I referred to your lentils dispute (Lentil-gate) on The Sofa? But I didn’t catch up on your mention of T16s rather horrendous essay in maths class. Indeedy! Except it nudged him to a ‘B’ what won’t be a B or even a pass in the exam yesterday where he texted me with: “I had 2 on the C level correct and 3 of the D level correct.…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox

I know. I let myself down on 5th Nov ‘cos I was out photographing these:

This ep also had the tightest dialogue and direction/editing so far, so I would be intrigued to know the shooting blocks.

@tempusfugit

I’m not sure about the fact that Graham has cancer.

OK. Sorry, why?

I look a million dollars and I’m half dead. No kidding. I have a paramedic watching this as I type and he’s performing a truly hideous job/procedure (these doods get paid far too little).  Yesterday I was in the garden for 4 hours. Last night I had some peeps over fo…[Read more]

Greetings to @Fatmaninabox – you completely lost me at line 2, haha, but sending you back some caffeine saturated squishy hugs!
@Craig – thanks for the quick tutorial on photos (can’t believe I’ve forgotten). Had another shot at it, but still not working. Hmm… more practice needed.

Here we go again! And as others have said, great to see lots of familiar faces again, as well as new ones. Hi everyone.

I’m totally up for this, and agree with everyone who says that Jodie nailed it from the outset. Felt quite Tennant-y (not a bad thing IMHO 🙂 ) and I loved how, apart from a couple of throwaway lines, she just gets on with…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox  -on the other thread…I was crying-laughing. But not REAL laughing because my computer is obstreperous. Shutting it down works occasionally which annoys me (Thane in particular).

Just to say a quick hello to all newbies & oldies as well & hoping to see @arbutus on these pages soon.

I actually loved the episode. The tremendous…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox

Always, with removable drives, trying emptying the trash, or whatever the hell ‘doze calls it. Removable drives often don’t release the space unless explicitly told to.

farewell XP, you’ll be missed

You are the only person ever to type this.

@FatManInABox

Wow, you and the new episode joined together in a timeywimey way there, did you use some Sheffield steel in your repairs too 😁

Thanks @fatmaninabox I’ve deleted the account. It’s the easiest option.

@Ichabod

Other people have said to me before that the Doctor finds you/you find the Doctor when you need him most. For me the worst was during Smithy’s era, when my mum’s memories were disintegrating rapidly (my mum who watched DW from 1963 with me, including the episodes I had to miss, and would then remember them and relate them back to me); at…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox Nice to see you about again. We have missed you.

@Craig, We have indeed been honoured. Seems like you might be needing a very big stick,, I noticed that a dodgy post was quickly disappeared recently, maybe the one in question.

Cheers
Janette

@fatmaninabox

I recommend The Kraken Wakes, by John Wyndham.

Sweet dreams. 😀
