Totally agree with your opinion @jimthefish way back that the key to the cybermen is not their militarism but that they are a scientic and medical horror – closer to morbius than the daleks.

I think thats why […]

@wolfweed – “Do you have a copy of Fly Fishing by J R Hartley? Yes? In which case you must be DELETED”

@wolfweed – “hello? is that NHS Direct? Yeah, we were just messing about with some tin foil, an accordian and a book on cybernetics… well I think its gone a bit far. Um, no. I dont think its going to come off […]

@shazzbot – deep sea divers? Bleurgh! I have a small castle, don’t you know!

From the turret I can see the sofa.

@shazzbot – is it too late to ask you to make an honest fish of me?

@pedant – touché, Sir, touché!

@ardaraith – “i would prefer to see the doctors unique world view and moral code explicitly expressed”

… well he kind of has (a bit) over the last few episodes with the “precious bundle” speech. Having said […]

@Shazzbot – mostly a post-2005 thing. Before that, although sometimes he verged on going to far (genocide of the 1st generation of embryo daleks, for instance, in GotD) he generally acted as his own conscience. I […]

@wolfweed – I suspect fowl play

@craig – great work with clear and concise list of things which might annoy fellow users.

I do like a nice ToDo list 😀 …

If I was a @pedant that should actually be Anates ex Machina (but that’s not a good pun).

Finally putting high school Latin to good use – only took 30 years…

Lets wrap this up : Ducks Eggs Machina !

@Juniperfish – ah yes, of course. Yeah, the monk/wraith/whathaveyou is extremely likely to be the Doc (explains the disguised voice), which answers several of my questions (except what that flippin room […]

@whofan-matt – well remembered!

The actual line is “Six hundred feet down. Twenty miles laterally puts us at the heart of the ship. I’d say {sniffs} Lancashire”

Heart of the ship, eh? Seems that’s becoming a […]
