No, I don’t like the word verbose either, as I said, pretentious. Our English teacher pounded into us, that when writing, never use a long word, when a short word would do as well. she was right.
There are too many rules and regulations nowadays: don’t use “lly” words, don’t use “ing” words, it can stop a person writing freely – that…[Read more]

Thank you, saw your message.

@AlexM
Thank you for that.
Enjoyed the trailer Alex, but a female doctor doesn’t appeal to me.
Not that that signifies I suppose, I don’t like women playing football or rugby either.

cheers,

Has anyone noticed, three names? Oswald, Oswin and Osgood?

Do they have a meaning I wonder?

I’m going to miss Osgood and her ventilator.

Cheers,

Missy

I enjoy Dickens, but can understand why some people don’t. He is wordy, or if you want to be pretentious “Verbose?”

Thing is, he was actually living in that century, saw all the poverty and misery. He’s like a news reporter of the time.

One could say that the Brontes and Elliot are a touch wordy too, Austen not so much.

@puro

There was talk that SM would leave DW soon, but never stop writing for Sherlock – as long as ‘the boys’ still wanted to take it on.
I’d rather he stayed for both and I agree, don’t forget RTD, but also Mark Gatiss. He brings a lighter colour to DW methinks.

Cheers,

Missy

@Gunslinger.

Kill the Moon, is not a favourite of mine either.

Cheers,

@Ichabod

Sorry, but I couldn’t find the Robot of Sherwood thread.
I felt that there was some wistfulness in his face, as if human contact and gratitude suddenly got to him. I found his hand touching where she had kissed him, poignant. It was probably the first time I was truly aware of how alone The Doctor really is.
Does that sound daft?

Cheers,

Missy

@Rose2112

Oh well, if that’s your attitude. *big grin*

Missy

@Narvin.

Thank you.

I watched again last night, and still laughed a lot. Some of PC’s lines are hilarious.
“And has anyone punched you in the face when you’ve said that?” “Six months in your case.”
‘Shut up Hoodie.’ “an ornamental plant stand,” and Robin’s reaction. “Stop laughing and I’m totally against bantering.” To mention a few. It’s…[Read more]

@Rose2112

Oh dear! And there’s me thinking I was the chosen one! *rolls eyes*

I add my thanks.

Missy

It’s taken me long enough, but this is – to my mind – the funniest episode of the series.

Peter Capaldi excelled himself and had me chuckling for most of the 45 minutes.

The Robot Knights were terrific, those faces. I hope we see them again.

Cheers

@JanetteB

Australia IS the other side of the planet. *chuckle*

Only joking.

cheers

Missy

@Narvin

Many thanks Narvin. Thing is, I understand the first part of your message, but not the last part. *frowns*

The Bluetooth thingy I could manage, but my OH’s mobile is basic, we can’t download anything on to it.

Oh well, thank you anyway.

Missy

@purofilion

Many thanks for the info puro.

I shall be ready with my leek soup, animal shaped fruit gums for afters and breath bated.

Frankly I like all music from DW, but Rose’s theme, Gallifrey, Mat Smith’s theme and this Doctor’s theme are my favourites.

21 sleeps.

Missy

@ichabod

Oh how I envy you. Oh to get close to the Tardis. *sighs heavily*

Cheers

Missy

Some really interesting ideas here. Thanks to all of you.

Time is dragging.

My nails are taking right bashing, down to the quicks!

You will doubtless get series 9 before us – as usual.

Cheers,

Missy

@janetteB

Yes, I live down under – no worries, she’ll be right! *grins*
We’re Londoners, but have lived here a looong time.
I told my OH that if I had a mobile (which I haven’t)I’d have the Tardis sound as a ring tone.
Can you imagine the looks I’d get.

@narvin

I knew you’d say that. what a shame.
My OH built me a 2ft high Tardis. Painted it, put on all the stickers, light at the top which goes on. plug lights up inside when you open the door – all I need now is the NOISE! Boo Hoo!

Thanks anyway,

Cheers,

Missy
