@pedant er what?

Yes, we know St Pancras & people are in a hurry. The roof is spectacular!  You’d think a few more people might pause. Everyone is going too fast everywhere all the time. I think.

Syzygy (Thane16) and mum.

@pedant   Sam Cooke…………like butter.

@thane16   @pedant and @bluesqueakpip   Thank you for all the great advice and because I know you all love the show I will follow that advice. I will watch from the very beginning and work my way up through the seasons so I can see it all. I remembered that I bought season 4 a while ago so I am off to a good start, I just need 1 ,2,3 and 5 so I c…[Read more]

@Winston @pedant

My advice is “please don’t watch seasons 1-5 after season 6.” Seriously. I think Thane said the same -& typing for me yesterday.

I disagree that it’s a “jump -in” point @bluesqueakpip. And yes, SMG is on the cover of a show in which she stars/starred. Hell, Season 7 let out covers of Leo in The West Wing years ago when they…[Read more]

@pedant

The time limit’s gone and it’ll need a mod, I’m afraid.

I did think about it, but BTVS Series 6 has been out in the wild for eighteen years (counting from the premiere). Also, @winston said she was working from a DVD box set, and the big picture of Sarah Michelle Gellar on the DVD is a teeny bit of a hint. Not to mention the truly…[Read more]

@Winston !!!! No! Try not to watch Season 6 before seasons 1-5. Otherwise, well, it’s “dark” but yes, incredible. But knowing the characters from the first season is best, imo. I understand they could be expensive? But it could be will be worth it.  Seriously. If you throw yourself into season 6, SO much of the brilliance of it, the new…[Read more]

@Winston  Hey Winston, I’m typing for mum who isn’t “making sense.” Thank you. A great friend with 2 boys, eldest is 28 & a the other 23- 25. Her husband was a teacher who published some terrific ‘doable’ grammar texts &  retired to build apartments for their nest egg. She’s involved with choirs the type I’ve forgotten, but they go to town with gl…[Read more]

@whisht that  very sweet, He showed true feeling & a sensitivity. Lovely

@Winston I know feeling better is not probably where you’re at -yet but reach  out if you want to talk some more.  @pedant a terrific song. I heard The Cure a lot later than I should’ve . My colleagues ‘intervened’ & I’m glad they persisted. It’s been a bit of a silly we…[Read more]

@pedant  Thank you for your understanding.

@notoriouszero

The YouTube 50th anniversary collection doesn’t include any of the three specials in question. It is a compilation featuring the seven Doctors of the original series 1963-1989 plus the 8th Doctor, Paul McGann who appeared  in the 1996 film aka ‘the film we do not mention’ because it was so dire – although Paul McGann was…[Read more]

@pedant  @mudlark

Also, YouTube has a ‘50th anniversary collection’ and it has 9 episodes. One of which they claim to be ‘The Day Of The Doctor’. Is this something I should buy to fully know what’s going on? Are they spoilers? Is there a difference between ‘the day of the doctor’ and ‘the time of the doctor’?

😭😭😭 I’m so lost, wish I stuck to…[Read more]

@pedant @mudlark

Oh sweet baby Jesus! Thank you so much, so to clarify: after ‘name of the doctor’ it goes night – day – Christmas – S8? Is that correct?

@whisht Love that idea: the “Fog Bank.”  Not to harm anyone’s choice of song or one’s own.

And

“I hereby decide that I myself will not be offended by the juvenile stupidity of this song.
Instead, I decide that I will continue to enjoy the stupidity of this song until I realise that I shouldn’t.”

@pedant HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Youtubers th…[Read more]

@mudlark

thank you so much for the detailed reply. I’m looking all over the place for ‘the Day of the doctor’ , ‘night of the doctor’ and ‘Christmas Special’. Do I need to watch these before starting S8E1?

@pedant

where can I find these three episodes on the inters of net? 😭

@pedant Yes just saw that. David Tennant is also doing a cover of the Proclaimers’ Sunshine on Leith. I am always envious of actors that cannot only act but also sing. I abandoned my dream of studying acting at Uni when I found out that the audition included a singing component. I would have had no chance at all.

Cheers

Janette

@pedant — Ha!  Wonderful!  There’s jargon, and then there’s self-satirical jargon, but such nuances do tend to get lost outside the fold.

@pedant

Brilliant Mr P. I thought his reaction was split second. No way I could drop that fast & keep a hair do.  😉

@rorysmith

I think the problem on the web -site were people asking for some happy time? Sometimes removal men who want to take all the furniture. I do not mind it myself. I think furniture is over-rated unless it is my bed.…[Read more]

@pedant   Wow! That was way too close.  I would have peed myself and then cried. Thank you for waking me up.

@pedant

Well, that’s me told!

Pathetic and Weasel words? If you say so.

However, you managed to say all that without using the “F” word once.

As for my dislike of a female Doctor, you all know my feelings on the matter, and I didn’t wanted bore @roger429

to death.

Missy

<p style=”text-align: left;”>@pedant.         Missy didn’t use the term as a pejorative at all. I took her use as short hand for an attempt by the shows producers  to correct a situation which some perceive as overdue. Why you can’t see that is not my problem. Why so angry about it? Relax. Have a beer and smile some. Nobody is attacking you or a…[Read more]
