@Juniperfish – in favour of your ‘Clara is related’ bonkers theory, I did note that the description of ‘An egomaniac needy game-player sort of person’ was considered a good description of the Doctor by Clara and a good description of Clara by the Doctor.

Then there’s the ‘You’ve redecorated. I don’t like it.’

They are, in other words, still…[Read more]

@CathAnnabel   Wow. I would never, ever have remembered that line from Dickens. Take that to those who feel that the dinosaur was contrived!

@Juniperfish   I thought of the library as well, possibly because of the parallel “life after death” themes. (Hope you are recovered from your trip to the ER!)

@purofilion    I didn’t need to hear from El…[Read more]

@juniperfish

Genuine “Oh Noes!!” to your absence so far.
Genuine “Yipee’s!!”” to the appearance of your Avatar.

Hope you feel better soon. We have TWELVE weeks of excitement to cope with!! Get those pills down yer neck (as we say in Yorkshire)

I’ll have some more robust arguments when I have more than four hours of sleep. Thatbe mid-day tom…[Read more]

@Craig @Wolfweed @Blenkinsopthebrave @Juniperfish @FatmaninaBox @Arbutus @Pufferfish @Timeloop @Chickenelly @Whisht @arkleseizure and all the forum members, veterans and newbies alike.

Just a flying-in visit to wish everyone a  Happy Who Day

@JimtheFish @Bluesqueakpip Thanks for missing me! And yes, been doing that cultural overdose thing in…[Read more]

@juniperfish

I bought the scarf. It was a bit expensive, but it would’ve been a bit too difficult for me to make, because I don’t know how to knit.

@Juniperfish

“Have we seen his sonic yet?”

And just when I thought that there wasn’t going to be any smut in the Tardis and then you come along…

😉

@Juniperfish – The Capaldi Doctor’s screwdriver appears in the full length official trailer.

That’s all I’m saying…

🙂

@Juniperfish – not only have I noticed, I have made comments.

I’m fine with this regeneration being uninterested. As I’ve said before, Gallifreyans must have regenerations where they’re basically asexual – otherwise the universe would be knee deep in Time Lords. 😉

@Juniperfish and @Craig

I feel the need to respond to you collectively, even though the films are different.

@Juniperfish

Sad to hear the repsonse to “Dawn”, as I had (maybe still have) high hopes for it, but your comment about the nuclear family made me think you were probably accurate, as it is all about context. And it is so often hard to…[Read more]

Following on from @Juniperfish

A trailer has finally been revealed for the next installment of Mad Max. Now, I love Mad Max 2. I really do. It’s one of the greatest movies ever. I was pleased to learn that the great Lawrence Kasdan, who wrote many great movies of the seventies and eighties such as Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark and…[Read more]

A mixture of delight and sorrow here.

Welcome back to the swishy goodness of @juniperfish!

I have to congratulate @blenkinsopthebrave for his advocacy for Mark of the Rani. It is now our clear winner and a demonstration that I have no power in this equation because I find it some of the most pantomime arse-gravy to be produced in the shows…[Read more]

Tunnock’s teacakes sales ‘soar’

They say it has something to do with the games. I think people read here that it may be the new Doctor’s snack of choice.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-28499415

@Juniperfish – just take the extremely distinctive wrapping paper off and have him call it a teacake. Branding sorted.

The fact that the entire Interweb will be identifying it as a Tunnock’s teacake is, of course, not the Beeb’s fault. After all, other teacakes are available. 🙂

@Juniperfish While Tunnock’s Tea Cakes may have invaded the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony, I think a Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer would be my choice. I do get through about one a week, just to make me feel Scottish again.

@Juniperfish!!!!

You’re back!!!

😀

(slithers off the sofa in joy)

@Craig

I second @Juniperfish and @ScaryB wholeheartedly. Crikey, in a perfect world, they should be inviting you to the screening.

Of course, we are a polite forum, that believes in tolerance, diversity, civility and protection against spoilers, but, well, if they do not respond, then, in the words of Arnold Rimmer:

Call it extreme if you like,…
