Yes, she’s been of a few times and is always charming and articulate. I like her because she is not afraid to show the limits of her understanding. Also, when I disagree with her it is for interesting reasons.

I quite like the idea of Liam Brady as the new Doctor. At the end of his career, with West Ham, he scored one of the best goals…[Read more]

Oh yeah, Battlezone rocked – one of the few video games I was any good at.

@wolfweed

God, that’s horrible. I’ve no idea how he could have worked through that.

So I didn’t bother watching the election interrogations last night (tbh, I’m a bit beyond caring), but the Twitter reaction seems to be that Theresa Mayhew was less than impressive.

Than, Laurie Penny – a left wing writer of rare wit and intelligence, and also a great big nerd  – posted…[Read more]

@MissRori

You seem to be trying to analysis Bill’s choices as rational, when the explicit aim of the Monks was to punish reason (the UN dudes fear was quite reasonable, given how outclassed the B52s and subs were, and the generals were trying to strategise, an act of reason).

Bill suddenly found herself promoted to President-by-proxy, while the…[Read more]

My God! He lives!

Welcome back from the wastelands, sir!

@craig

Another post gone walkabout – some time after @wolfweeds #58228, and I’m sure it initially posted (did you get a notification, wolfweed?) Nothing consequential in the post, but strays are worth noting.

@whisht

There’s nothing like a shared disdain for Spurs to build bridges.

@thane15

If your grades take a nose dive, there’ll be hell to pay.

@whisht

No dog in the fight (more of an East London persuasion), but never get tired of seeing Money Launderers FC lose.

I got the impression the specs could help with the digital stuff, but the not the tumblers. Odd things that can see the outline of a pyramid but not a person. Actually, the specs display looks a bit like Battlezone, if you…[Read more]

I’m acutely aware this is a fan site, not really a platform for critique.

Very drole.

OMG!!! MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!!!

Farm cats might – and within a few generations they would be indistinguishable from the African Wildcats they are descended from. Bengals might because they are only 2 generatiosn removed from the Asian Leopard Cats they were bred from.

But your average domestic moggie and fancy breeds? They would…[Read more]

36:00 – Broken glasses scientist informs the Doctor that even though she activated the safety protocol that seals the lab and stops deadly toxins escaping into the atmosphere, an air pump will activate in thirty minutes that will… um… let the deadly toxins escape into the atmosphere. Oh and it can’t be turned off.

Along with Bobby Ewing walking out of the shower at the end.

Oh for heaven’s sake. Bobby Ewing coming out of the shower meant everything that happened in however many seasons Patrick Diuffy was absent for NEVER happen.

These weren’t dreams, they were sims, exactly has the Culture ships in Iain M Banks SF ran sims for every…[Read more]

Dammit why are weeks so long?

The tentacle-y things reminded my of the thingies from Journey To The Centre oOF The Tardis, although I’m not sure if I’m misremembering.

I wonder if there is a sim within a sim going on.

@thane15

But his voice,

You misspelled “whine”.

@Nick

Yep, saw that earlier. I thought it very affecting, even if the presentation was a little bit Tame Craig Charles.

I was with them all the way up to “the songs still sound marvellous”. The emperor never had any clothes, he just hid his self-pity behind Johnny Marrs’s fig leaf.

Ugh. I feel the need for…[Read more]

On Netflix it is called ‘Anne With An ‘E’ for reasons that only Netflix knows.

@Arbutus

I know. I’m still in shock.

Not sure how my reputation as a curmudgeon with low fuckwit tolerance is going to survive.
