     later today politician x is going to say blah blah blah

    Yup. That ain’t news – it’s news management.

  • Arbutus replied to the topic Time Heist

    @PhaseShift   I has been suggested before that the Doctor doesn’t like himself, with the whole “Dream Lord” character. It has also been said that the Doctor isn’t always fond of his own past incarnations. And there’s the “I’ve made many mistakes” line. I think in two thousand years of time travel, and several hundred of being the last of the Time…[Read more]

    @JimtheFish

    Just reiterating – please don’t go. We miss you already.  We need your knowledgeable fishy bolshiness on here!

    It’s been hard being in Scotland the last few days – hugely emotional for everyone, especially for anyone who’s been around for a year or 2 – there’s a general sense of we’re about to be stuffed through broken promises…[Read more]

    @rob Doctor 11 loves Jammy Dodgers, Doctor 12 is a coffee drinker so it sounds like story arc to me…

    Hi @Wolfweed @Bluesqueakpip @Arbutus @Barnable @tennantlove9090 @VashtaNerada @PhaseShift @FatManInABox @Rob @JanetteB @Whisht @ScaryB

    Well, we did it and survived, mostly. That climb that takes up the first minute of the video is probably the most difficult, and at times scary. My friend almost bottled out 50 metres up the cliff face because she…[Read more]

  • ScaryB replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @Craig Yikes! 😯 Have fun and don’t break anything!

    @FatManinaBox Aw, thanks :00ps: (it’s all part of my cunning plan, hehe 😈 ) Hope the gardening’s going well. How do you get blisters on your feet from gardening btw?!

    @Phaseshift – ROFL

    @Rob Congrats and welcome back to the mud.  Hope you didn’t rust too much

    Nice that the Rose…[Read more]

  • janetteB replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @Craig, All the best with the Snowden challenge and please do avoid “the local nick”. @PhaseShift, Still wiping eyes after reading that story.

    @Rob Glad to hear that the walk is done and lots of money was raised. I hope the armour isn’t too rusty from all the summer rain.

    Cheers

  • Arbutus replied to the topic Deep Breath

    @Pufferfish   I hadn’t connected the characters who have been “hung up on various Romans” (hee hee); I guess as @Rob says, the Doctor is one of them now.

    @Barnable    Where are those paradoxes?   There were no ducks in the duck pond. 😳

    @Serahni  She could have found a cloud to sulk on for a while to recover from the loss of a beloved frien…[Read more]

  • janetteB replied to the topic The Awakening part 1

    Actually @Whisht I would love to hear why you didn’t like Black Orchid. Difference of opinion is the making of good conversation 🙂 as was happing with the off topic discussion about GoT on The Sofa thread. I had the same hesitation about posting on what I dislike about GoT but decided to post anyway and I am glad I did because friends don’t…[Read more]

  • Craig started the topic The Awakening part 1

    A very strange episode this. The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough arrive in an English village, Little Hodcombe, so that Tegan can visit her grandfather.

    The village is in the middle of celebrating the anniversary of the Battle of Little Hodcombe in 1643 and are enthusiastically re-enacting war games (@Rob will be pleased).

    However, Tegan’s…[Read more]

  • ScaryB replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    Broadsword @Rob

    Is the walking still going on? Hope you have a successful weekend and neither melt in the heat or get rusted up in rain!

  • ScaryB replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    Cheers everyone!

    @Rob – hope the walking’s still going well and you haven’t rusted up completely.

    Oooh, and I’ve just noticed we’ve got a counter on the front page! Oh my heartses, too much excitement (thanks @Craig)

  • Bluesqueakpip replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @Rob – Since you are Sir Rob, I’d go for ‘Broadsword’ myself. 🙂 Good luck on the walk!

    @TrauMorgus – you’ve found the pub. The Rose & Crown is where ‘off-topic’ is, errr, ‘on-topic’. Speculation about the upcoming series is in Series 8 Speculation/Wishlist. There isn’t that much – partly because our main bonkers theory as at the end of The Time…[Read more]

  • PhaseShift replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @rob

    Sterling work mate. Excellent suggestion from @whisht for call signs.

    Good luck with it!

  • Whisht replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @Rob – as you’re the one walking, shouldn’t you be “Broadsword”?
    Or has that been taken?

    Broadsword calling Danny Boy, come in Danny Boy.

    We need transport, over

    Good luck!

  • janetteB replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    Good to hear that the walk is going well @Rob. I hope the sun shines upon you.

    Cheers

  • @Craig

    Actually, thank YOU for the advice!

    Sorry, @Rob, I suppose I was thinking of your recent fully suited and helmeted march at the time of typing, which led to me addressing you instead of @Craig. Or perhaps it is the Blenkinsop brain that needs a full virus scan.

  • @Rob

    Thanks for the advice. Just finished a full scan. All seemingly ok, which is strange, as I think I was on board during the hours you mentioned. A few weeks ago I abandoned Internet Explorer for Firefox. Not sure if that made any difference. (My knowledge of these technical matters is minimal, to say the least.)

     

  • @Rob that’s already been done lol in planet of the Daleks

  • Whisht replied to the topic The Rose & Crown

    @Rob – you’re doing a great thing for great charities.
    Whatever you accomplish is exceptional.

    Well done and don’t rust.
