But for me the best thing to come out of this mess is that it’s put a second independence referendum clearly back on the cards.

Yes, it has. Much as I hope Scotland will choose to stay in the UK once things have calmed down, the situation has changed so completely that I’d say it’s constitutionally impossible not to hold a second I…[Read more]

@jimthefish  Thanks for the info.

@blenkinsopthebrave  Thanks for those recce’s.

@jimthefish  Um — who’s Maxwell Edison, for those across the pond?

@stichintime  Maybe a “fudrick” is what just happened in Britain?

@jimthefish @bluesqueakpip

They had their chance to print the truth (or just stayed silent). They chose to print lies. I doubt whether there are people who care that they printed their ‘real’ truth. I don’t know why they bothered. Did they expect that people would forgive them (I doubt) or start to buy their paper again?

@jimthefish @bluesqueakpip haven’t you seen this cover? This is such an amazing day for Liverpudlians. Shame not all from Hillsborough families lived to see this.

@craig @jimthefish

If it is a spoiler for Hell Bent it should not be here. Especially when we know somebody is watching through for the first time.

@JimTheFish, thank you, and well put. The good thing is, with the bloody form sent off, I’ve actually in the past couple of days managed to get a decent amount of work done on the final assignment and am entering into a phase of optimism about it. This will fade. Which is the Doctor Who episode about bad things not making the good things…[Read more]

@puroandson @ichabod @mudlark @janetteB @pedant @whisht @fatmaninabox @arbutus @jimthefish @phaseshift and all of you who I’ve forgotten or don’t have time to include. Happy Easter to you all too. I fully intend to be back to normal service after this little seasonal break, which has allowed me to get my breath back. Tomorrow night I’m going to…[Read more]

It’s not a new story:

I can pretty much guarantee this will make you LOL.

@puroandson @Jimthefish

I think that line – and the episode – are designed to provoke that sort of question. Spike, shorn of his moral compass – because, vampire – but also, we later learn, of distinct Byronic heart and inclination before that – would see it that way.

But his being there…[Read more]

@DoctorDani Yes. If only those sawdust for brains who run our respective nations could work out that simple little equation. People who have money spend money. The economy keeps on rolling. Take money away from people and they stop spending. Economy shrinks. Economics really is quite simple. It is only complicated for those trying to twist the…[Read more]

@jimthefish I vaguely remember watching that doc a long time ago. Might be time to have another look.

What with our robot overlords starting their ascent with the trial of driverless cars next year, it really is time we started to strongly consider a basic income for everyone. In fact it’s long overdue. There’s a lot of very dense people at the…[Read more]

@jimthefish I watched that vid earlier today and was blown away by how quickly the time passed by. He is a wonderfully interesting man in his own right. I’m dying for him to do a Bowie documentary. I know how much he loved him as a musician, so he’d be absolutely perfect for it.

@fatmaninabox I’ve been through the whole job centre malarky in the…[Read more]

@JimTheFish

Jobcentres have always been like that. At least, I had a very similar experience to @FatManInABox in another economic downturn, some twenty years back, when the solution to doing fringe theatre for no money (which might have led to paid work) was apparently to put me on six months work experience as a shop assistant for no money. The…[Read more]

@puroandson @jimthefish

Hang on. Are you saying Ben and Glory are related?

@puroandson @jimthefish

Molly’s offing was, for many, a highlight of S7. Crimes against accents in a capital offence.

“You made a bear! Undo it. Undo it”.

But they pale to insignificance alongside the second use of “Bored now”. And the only use of “She’s a hero you see. She’s not like us”.

“tumbleweed moment” – when a gag is told and all that…[Read more]

@Craig @JimTheFish or any passing mod – we seem to need a new sofa (and a new spoiler room).

@JimTheFish

Nice to see the Tories (rather predictably) turning on themselves in the most feral way possible.

Oh, putting a genuine possibility of getting out of the EU to the Tory Party is like throwing a big bag of catnip into a group of cats.

It won’t be pretty. 😉

@JimTheFish

Heh. Four legs bad, two legs good.
