Don’t see the fridge issue. Grace was a leader, led from the front and that comes with risk. Pretty much from the outset she was the one who investigated, went first, threw caution to the wind. And that is as dangerous as throwing your salad at an alien.

But functionally, she is a bit like the Eric Balfour character, Jesse, in the first…[Read more]

I must confess, the frothing range of the Angry Virgins has been one of the joys of the past 18 hours or so.

@juniperfish

It was a warning not a lure!

I keep wanting to make “Ever Fallen In Love” jokes, but it is the wrong Shelley.

Always, with removable drives, trying emptying the trash, or whatever the hell ‘doze calls it. Removable drives often don’t release the space unless explicitly told to.

farewell XP, you’ll be missed

You are the only person ever to type this.

This has filled me with great mirth.

I have to say, @DanMartin‘s review strikes me as a bit mean-spirited.

Whovians of any era are used to having to absorb change and should know by now not to rely on statements from the showrunner. I remember a friend of the “I saw the very first episode AND the repeat” ilk refusing to believe that Tennant could be replaced – but being open-minded…[Read more]

As near to pitch perfect as one could reasonably ask.

A couple of very subtle callbacks (Really wanting a friend egg sandwich).

Nicely restrained from Walsh (although should not a surprise to any who saw him on Law & Order), and solid support from Gil and Cole (although at the moment Cole’s character seems a bit generic ‘black urban…[Read more]

Yep. She’s the Doctor.

PSA: Anecdote is not the singular of evidence.

Muscle weakness and atrophy is a rare but known side effect and STOP TAKING THEM NOW contraindication of statins. So well-meaning (and competent) medics will properly balance the risks.

However, it is pretty well the most researched drug on the planet at the moment and the…[Read more]

Welcome aboard – like @mudlark I rather envy the joy of discovery you have coming.

If you’re in the mood, get back to us when you are a bit further down the road with Amy. But even on what you have seen so far, try seeing her as one who:

– has had her parents disappear (“I don’t have parents, just an aunt”);

-And then had the…[Read more]

Now, one should eat butter and cheese and drink full cream milk – it’s GOOD for the heart – say the  “experts!

It would help a lot if you could stop making shit up to support your fatuous certainty. No expert has suggested any of those things are good for you and all recommend cutting down. All also agree that a sensibly balanced diet is…[Read more]

Hadn’t even spotted there’s an interview (I don’t think I am quite Style’s demographic): JW Interview

Not sure if it is news or sofa material, but this riff on Jimmy Kimmel’s Mean Tweets is fun:
