Hi Declan,

Thanks for reaching out. I’d like to reiterate what’s been said above, especially Craig who gave you some contact details of various organisations.

It sounds like you have multiple issues going on (your health, your family’s health, safety concerns over your property…). As much as we’d all like to help here, in reality…[Read more]

Hi Declan,

Not much to add to the advice and support offered by the lovely people here (@ps1l0v3y0u, @juniperfish, @craig, and of course Grandma @winston ).

However, it does seem like we are online at the same time quite alot, (Maybe even same time zone), so feel free to reach out if you need a chat, and I’ll try to respond in a…[Read more]

As a Grandma my advice…[Read more]

Hi Declan, I’m just putting this out there for you and for other people who find this a hard time of year. I don’t particularly enjoy it myself, if I’m honest.

If you are in the UK you can always call The Samaritans on 116 123

There are other ways to contact them too.

I hope you feel better.

Get some rest. Once you feel better, I think you might enjoy Kurt Vonnegut’s writing (if you haven’t already read him).

Though, I think, it suffers compared with Besson’s earlier ‘Fifth Element’ (get that if yo…[Read more]

AAAARGGHHHH! I’m traumatised! 🙂 (You did warn us, but I had to scroll 😛 )

well I did encounter another cybermen, but it wasn’t much of a problem. I had to use my screwdriver to hotwire it. I know compilicated stuff. But besides that my TARDIS Landed into an unknown place. It was a void, full of nothing. silent. I seen a silence lodge door, scared me honestly.

I have more if you like, I can try to provide…[Read more]

Is there a real claim a primacy for the ‘internal logic’ of Who or any other show? The result is always a compromise between the writer, the director, the producer, the ‘chemistry’ between the characters, production constraints (severe in the case of classic who) and the response to public or establi…[Read more]

the Girl Who Died as an episode was problematic though the story was fascinating. Same with Woman Who Lived but even more problematic; I really didn’t like Parsley the Lion and pals. The main attraction was the content of Me’s journals – see the post on sofa 11.

Vikings! I met an American ‘Viking’ actor at the Jorvik centre…[Read more]

Hi @oochillyo hope life is treating you well.

Cheers

Most of what I said applies to emails.    From your post it looks as if most of the fake warnings you’re getting are coming through your browser.

One simple thing you can do that might help is to drop the line (turn off your computer) when not using it.   If anyone’s targeting you they’re doing it in one of two ways – either usin…[Read more]

It’s quite likely those emails are fake, and ‘phishin…[Read more]

In fantasy / sci fi, I guess I’d include Terry Pratchett, Doug Adams, Arthur C Clarke (whose short stories usually had a twist at the…[Read more]

Hello yourself. I don’t know which show you mean? If you haven’t got Netflix, then you wouldn’t have seen Lucifer.

Hi Declan    Reading is a good habit to have.   I was a late starter reading but when I found I could actually do it, there was no stopping me.   I became a compulsive reader – books, notices on packaging, ingredients, instruction leaflets – I eventually had to make a rule that if I had time to read the stuff on the backs of cereal…[Read more]

Hello there, yes I have watched Sweet Tooth, not bad. Other police series is of course Line of Duty. Happy Valley I couldn’t get into, unusual for me. The Good Doctor is very clever, especially Freddie Highmore. I  remember him in Finding never Land, which was wonderful Johnny Depp at his best.

However, my favourite TV series (apart…[Read more]

Have seen MAYFLIES. Very sad.  Tony Curran actually looks like Van Gogh, have you seen some of his self portraits?

@janetteb

I have heard of Evil’s Hour, but no sign of it as yet. Anyone watched Stranger things on Netflix? Very well done and funny, especially Dunstan and Hopper.  The Never Ending story  theme sung by Dunstan (D…[Read more]

my NY reso is to work more in the garden, despite the muggy heat. I’d like to say exercise & diet but I doubt that’ll change!
Hope we all stay safe from further Covid outbreaks and that the unnerving polit…[Read more]

The problem is, starting it and controlling it. It has been achieved experimentally before, but this is the first time they’ve managed to get more energy out than they put in (in…[Read more]

Yes, conservation of energy is a law, so far as I know. Though energy can ‘easily’ be converted from one form (e.g. gravitational potential energy) into another (e.g. kinetic energy), the total energy must remain constant.
There is just one exception – mass can be converted into energy by nuclear processes (and I guess energy can…[Read more]

Don’t allow people to tell you you are rubbish. Beethoven was called an idiot, so was Mahler, Shost…[Read more]

I wish I could help you! My areas are music & history. Yes, I’d like to know that too. I don’t think conservation of energy is a law, though….

I’d add, however,  that energy in & energy out isn’t the same & doesn’t need to be, as per your 5th paragraph.
🙂

Your cheerful post made me smile so thanks for that.

Stay safe and happy

“The fairy tale series” isn’t a bad way to describe season 5.  I remember one of my personal gripes with it was how the D…[Read more]

And, @oochillyo, I hope it provides some comfort.

Like you, @Oochillyo , I enjoyed this episode.

The Doctor’s new origin story is a bit galactic fairytale isn’t it?

A foundling, she confronts the Evil Step-Mother who experimented on her as a child. A mother who stole her genetics to create her (adoptive) species, recruited her to meddle in and control Time, and mind-wiped her when…[Read more]
