For cying out loud!  Am I domed to be misunderstood?

The ‘police are treating this as a suspicous death.’ This was reported on the early news show yesterday.

My point was,  one would suppose  that finding a body in a suitcase, floating downstream, would be somewhat suspicious. I was being ironic.

To change the subject, h0w about this bit of news.

“>A gun store in the Chicago suburbs has come under critical fire after it announced it would hold a raffle to raise money for the victims of the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting – with the grand prize an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, similar to the weapon used by homophobic terrorist Omar Mateen i…[Read more]

@stitchintime:

It was an awful film. Possibly not PM’s vault, but I don’t care for him anyway.

Puroandson;

The reason I ‘skim’ long posts, is becasue they are about something of which I know very little. I applaud all who can write such detailed posts (I was not criticising) and take the time.

That’s what I meant.

puricle:   PS: from Son, welcome back @Missy. I hope your router and wi-fi are working fine. We have trouble with hours. Its truly appalling, mum doesn’t get this really well. We have a huge Big Bundle of $86 a month and yet our bandwidth is sometimes as  low as 370 kilobytes per second. That’s impossible when everyone is on the internet watchi…[Read more]

missrori:   Instead, I wound up despising the ungrateful, cowardly Time Lords, coldhearted Ohila, and snotty Ashildr, and hoping he calls in his favors to Rigsy and Anahson and her mum sometime!

Oh, so did, and do, I.

I too reached for the tissues, but the scene that really made tears run, was when the Doctor kisses Clara’s hand at t…[Read more]

@janetteb “Capaldi is so brilliant as the Doctor. Long may he wield the sonic.”

Hear, hear, say I.

@missrori

Hello there and welcome. I cannot fault the writing for the final three episodes of series 9.

However, Heaven Sent stands very tall in my book, for both the writing and music.

Missy

I agree with the above.

@kharis

Good grief!  I didn’t notice the ‘wings’ on River’s costume – you are right!

I feel that demo would be a good thing, perhaps we could get thousnads of signatures to keep PC?

I’ve beaten your record of 4 for “Heaven Sent and Husbands of River Song” you can double that number.

Lawks I’m sad!

If your wine is fizzy, may I join you?

Missy

@kharis

I’m baaack!  Did you miss me?

I too enjoyed y9ur quote from Heaven Sent. It hasd a lot of pathos.

The political discussion I shall keep away from. Some of the posts are so long that I had to skim them.

Missy

Greetings fellow Whovians.  Today I get linked up with the NBN (Australians will know what that is) this involves connecting a new modem, plus connecting our land-line phone to the modem. I have no idea how to do this, so a chap from my IP is going to talk me through it tomorrow.

I could go off air (so to speak) any minute now, so can’t read or…[Read more]

Here I go explaining myself! It’s obvious that this phrase goes back a bit.  when I said Arthur or Martha, it was used a lot when I was young. it means ‘coming or going” and no, I was not being offensive, at least not to my age group, but obviously to yours.

The modern meaning is, that men I have met (quite  few) plus the odd one or t…[Read more]

To all who answered me.  thank you.

I quite agree that it would have definitely lost impact had River been  pretending.

I think what threw me, was the fact that the bloomin’ Tardis was right there in front of her.  so who else could have landed it there?

As my OH loves to say, “it’s in the script!”

Missy

@mudlark   I have now reached the stage of being able to dispense with the crutches except for longer excursions outdoors, although still more tortoise than mountain goat, and it will be a while yet before I am fully fit.

Excellent news. I shouldn’t worry about being a tortoise, he got where he wanted to be eventually.

Keep up the good wo…[Read more]

There is a lot to say for all points made on this thread.  I dare say, in fact I know, there are pe0ple who agree with my view about feminism and a female Doctor. It boils down to individual taste I suppose, and mine is leave it alone.

There are many who don’t like Shakespeare being modernised, strangley, I don’t mind thar at all, as long the a…[Read more]

I’m going to be haunted by the word ‘fix’ by the sound of it.

If a thing has worked very well for decades, leave it alone.

Missy

grannym: Yours won’t paste either – sorry.

River is a wonderful, strong character and supposed to be smart. Therefore she knew the ‘capsule’ was there, so the Doctor had to be there. You’d have thought she’d at least have queried the Surgeon’s credentials. Especially when he actually tells her who he is.

So I suppose, it was contrived, to make -…[Read more]

stitchintime : I wonder why yours wont’ take?

The Doctor knows his companions and knew he could trust Clara not to get into trouble – well, that’s my theory anyway. *grins*

@ichabod

Come on, you know what I meant. If a show is working and has been working perfectly and is popular as it is  for decades, why change it?

As for the young feminists you mentioned,  I can understand  points ot view up to a point, but as everything else, it can go too far. Poor blokes, don’t know whether they are Arthur or Martha now…[Read more]
