@jimthefish: My thanks also. Ah well, if only are such sad words.

@jimthefish thank you for the link. It was perfect reading for morning coffee. If only, if only Moffat felt he had to say for another series and PC had been persuadable. Ah well. Dr Who changes so fingers crossed it will remain in safe hands.

Cheers

Did you miss me? 😉

Firstly, a question to all the writers on the forum (of which we have an embarrassment of riches). If we consider the intertextuality of Sherlock and Doctor Who (the deliberate and pointed exchange of ideas between the two) does the fact that they are written in parallel preclude them being considered hypertexts? Is there a…[Read more]

@pedant      I did mean to comment on the remarkable Jenkins piece you posted. Really, really powerful. Thanks! (And to @JimTheFish for the article links, too.)

@jimthefish

Yep – it gets very hard to maintain ignore that the press (written and broadcast) is now a playground for hugely motivated billionaires, rather than a bastion of freedom.  Private press != free press.

@puroandson

This is the Karl Jenkins piece mentioned in the article link by Jim:

The unmistakable Welsh accent in the hymn; the…[Read more]

@puroandson Started the blog over four years ago – it’s somehow turned out to be a lot more political than I envisaged originally!  I blame Events.  Anyways, thanks all for kind comments, @jimthefish et al.

It’s so brilliant that Son is getting so much out of this Forum, above and beyond the Who content.  The notion that, thanks to discussions he…[Read more]

MEANDERING THOUGHTS ALERT!

The writing of which Puro speaks was that associated with the police negligence during a soccer match and the ensuing pandemonium and tragedy.

This above sentence is one that would only be used outside the UK (maybe even Europe). Britons and many Europeans would just say “…[Read more]

@puroandson—

he chose a Blog by @jimthefish on the Buffyverse which was also well loved by the teacher

You’ve no idea how chuffed that makes me. (And is that ‘make like a tree and bark’?)

Sorry, I’ve not been around much but I’ve taken the lurch back into full-time further education again and it’s been a surprisingly rapacious devourer of time…[Read more]

@craig, @jimthefish, @ any Timelord out there,

Someone new wants to be my friend. I am sure I am not the only one who has received this attention…

p.s. The Fox Inn is a bit over-full.

(Moved from ep discussion)

It appears to be an IP address block, rather than username (I tried setting up a new name and got the same message). A work-around is to use VPN to log in. But both @Craig and @JimTheFish seem to be busy elsewhere (real life, huh?) – need to wait for them to confirm.

@Craig @JimTheFish

We need a new pub! (clicking links to it goes straight to the first page, rather than the required link – always the first sign of the apocalypse).

It must surely be time for The Slaughtered Lamb.

@jimthefish and @janette True, true.  Still — he had a point when he asked if he was owed the chance to save Clara.  He’s done so much good for so many others, and when he asks for so little in return, he doesn’t get it!  I’d say he has a lot of debts to collect upon — especially after the confession dial torment.  (Rotten old Time Lords!…[Read more]

@jimthefish Just what I was going to say. We knew that the Doctor would not be able to cope with peace anyway. He would implode within a day judging by his antics while staying at the medieval monastery.

cheers
