    Cheers! Love the idea of solar system baubles. My planet ones come from some of the Star Wars Lego kits that have a mini-model inside a planet. So I’ve got a Death Star and a couple of others hanging […]

  • @blenkinsopthebrave

    I hope your purchase gives you much pleasure (in fact I’m sure it will). I’d be interested to read your thoughts when you’ve enjoyed it all again.

    Great call-out on the Cornetto Trilogy […]

  • @blenkinsopthebrave

    Brilliant, my friend. Yes, Mervyn was in there as well. I haven’t seen it in full for almost 20 years, and you’ve reignited an interest there. I used to love the Portmanteau films (I […]

  • So, the Christmas Tree is up, and I did my annual watch of this. Suddenly I’ve recovered from my shopping trip and it feels like Christmas! Some episode specific points, I think.

    I know some people have a […]

  • ThumbnailI promised some pictures of my Christmas Tree when it was up. I’ve spared you the full horror, but just thought I’d post a couple of snaps. I thought @ScaryB would appreciate my angel on top of the tree. I’m sure […]

    Just a quick note of explanation about something. You may have noticed a “Guest Blogger” identity has been set up and hosted @nick s thoughts on the Day of the Doctor Time Line.

    Basically it’s just another way of creating blogs for anyone who is interested in writing something. If you look at the list of blogs it covers some fairly wide terri…[Read more]

    to be smith nudity if I’m reading the article right I bet it will just be a bare chest knowing what a tease the grand Moff can be as he says it’s appropriate for teatime tv

    Ahhh. I still remember The Lodger and “Bollockgate” – all those internet discussions about whether you could see Mr. Smiths “man vegetables” in his shower sc…[Read more]

  • @nick

    Many thanks for this, and for being our first Guest Blogger!

    I think my fundamental problem with this approach is that it’s made pretty clear that both War Doctor and 10 will not retain these memories […]

  • PhaseShift replied to the topic On The Sofa (4)

    It’s a good job DFS have a policy of having a sale on every day of the year, because we do seem to get through Sofa’s pretty quickly.

    Did anyone remember to check down behind the cushions when the old one was retired?

    I’ve had a shit day, but have managed to break the Christmas shop. I will not be going anywhere till the New Year. Every place I…[Read more]

  • @blenkinsopthebrave @ScaryB

    Thanks for those thoughts. Whenever you look at the media and retrospectives of the “Swinging Sixties” it’s easy to forget that all that really happened in isolated parts of London. […]

    @Timeloop

    a) Good old @Phaseshift

    You’re not going to let the age thing go anytime soon are you. 😉

    Apologies for having to drop out. Our local telephone exchange is having improvement works to increase internet speed. In the fine tradition of UK workmanship, this means that everything has become much slower, or like yesterday, non-existent.

  • Can I just say though that sometimes patience is rewarded. I almost gave up on Person of Interest about three quarters of the way through the first series, and I’m really glad I stuck with it. The end of the series pulled me back, and the second made me re-evaluate the first in light of new information. It had been playing a very long game. The l…[Read more]

    Drat my slow internet connection! (Shakes fist at sky) 😀

  • Marvel Agents of Shield

    It’s that age old conundrum for me – when do I give up on a series?

    I’ve been bitten before – Firefly initially passed me by because I watched the first few at the wrong time really. My mind was on work and other things, and I ended up dismissing it. I only really got into it after seeing the Serenity film, and then bu…[Read more]

    @scaryB

    No offence taken at all. 🙂

    I will point out to @purofilion that if they feel aggrieved by anything they can take it up with another Mod or @Craig by PM. We’re not a hive mind and that may seem a more sensible course of action to take rather than to immediately withdraw from the site.

    @purofilion

    Nothing in my post would suggest you haven’t found a home here. When moving into a new home, you may be unaware of wider issues in your neighbourhood and it can be wise to tread carefully.

    From my point of view, @DenValdron was the subject of some unfortunate attitudes when first joining, which are directly “clique” related. Howev…[Read more]

    Oddly enough, I really enjoyed The New Avengers

    (Tumbleweed)

    I really enjoyed The New Avengers when it was first on, but loved the original run more when I got a chance to see it. I’ve got […]

    @purofilion

    I’m not quite sure what value you are adding to this point, which has caused some difficulty in the past and, in fact, is an exchange that happened before you joined the site. For more information, please refer to the last couple of pages of the website comments section.

  • @Juniperfish

    S4 is well worth the investment with some cracking episodes. The relationship just crackles from the off. You get some really strong episodes that separate the characters as well. The House that […]

  • @arbutus

    Apologies I missed your comment. I wouldn’t worry too much about spoilers. A single blog isn’t that hard to avoid, so if you and @MartyB want to share your thoughts just start of your review with Light […]
