I think my post about the regenerations was more to do with the fact there are lots of things in the past that could have topped up his regenerations in one way or another that he’d not be fully aware of the consequences. He’s been exposed to numismatron (the source of the…[Read more]

@ScaryB

Thanks for that and apologies for not saying so sooner

Is that glitter in your fur? 😉

@ScaryB Sorry for getting glitter in your fur and for getting you into trouble with our new overlord @FatManInABox – heh – but not that sorry – glitter is immutable 🙂 

@CraigNixon I miss Oswin Dalek myself – definitely my favourite Claricle. A gift to fan fiction at any rate.

@everyone

loving the music!

@Whisht, two delighted thumbs up for Vince and Charlie Brown.

@ScaryB, @Whisht, @MartyB, seconding, thirding, and fourthing Van Morrison. and The Band. and a belated happy birthday to Keith.

and yes, @Arbutus, I have heard of Straight, No Chaser. I’ve even heard them, though not in concert.

Since your linked song…[Read more]

@MartyB @ScaryB @purofilion

Yes! to The Last Waltz, and indeed, anything to do with The Band. And to anything by Van Morrison. And to jazz at Christmas, and almost any kind of Christmas music, for that matter. Our Christmas playlist skips with abandon between traditional choirs, classic pop and rock, jazz, and all kinds of very esoteric early…[Read more]

ah @ScaryB – wonderful – xmas music!

Now that is one helluva track (never come across that one before!).

At chez Whisht (and assorted workplaces who are stoopid enough to allow me to put music on) this album always gets a spin. I genuinely love it.

@Phaseshift – its time for xmas, but its also time for…[Read more]

@janetteB

Well not every penny fits the slot, especially in a latte vending machine on a motorway services, not that I’m still bitter about that episode,  no not at all 😉

@OsakaHatter

one section of the bar could be stretched to make room for a barista 😉

@ScaryB

no problems we have a spare room lol

@MartyB

I may have lied 😉 or eggsagerated

7 days ’til Xmas!

@MartyB – That’s X Factor winner Sam Bailey with Colon Baker…

@ScaryB – It’s photoshopped (not by me btw)

@ScaryB glad to see someone here can understand our pain. We’re good people in a bad situation 🙂

@Zaphod HEY! great to meet you. misery likes company, they say. I’m glad to have met you and will proceed to share my BBC woes with you whenever I feel the need to complain 🙂

@Bluesqueakpip and @purofilion and @arbutus and @ScaryB and @janetteB

@MartyB @ScaryB @Bluesqueakpip

Okay, fair enough. I suppose that anyone who hangs out with the Doctor for any length of time probably becomes  important to history, and therefore anyone that affects them will also be important.

But why did the Universe in one instance decide to shove all history into one moment in time, and in another, it sent…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip @ScaryB @purofilion

Ha. We actually have quite a few appliances, (I will with particular defiance admit to the espresso machine and the four-slice toaster!) but no microwave. Our kitchen is sadly not bigger on the inside (it’s quite possibly smaller on the inside) and I had to choose between the Kitchen Aid mixer and a microwave. I…[Read more]

@ScaryB – the proof of the Christmas Cake’s in the eating, as they say. 😉 But a skewer came out clean, so I think it’s cooked – even if the texture does feel as if it’s a cross between a cake and a pudding.

If you’re wondering, I microwaved it on the ‘defrost’ setting, very slowly.

Not being an SFX person, I didn’t want exciting displays of…[Read more]

@Arbutus – Pete Tyler’s actually quite easy: as @ScaryB says, without his death, Rose would probably never have run off with a madman in a box. The Eccleston Doctor would never have been healed from his time as the War Doctor. The Tennant Doctor is, btw, pretty specific about it being Rose who brought him back to some kind of normality.

Rory’s…[Read more]

@purofilion See, that’s a good example for context that @ScaryB pointed out. One would usually think the sky is an easy one, right? But there are actually options:

a) Good old @Phaseshift is making a gesture that was used in old Greece supposedly directed to Gods who supposedly lived in heaven, in the general direction of the sky.

b) Having…[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.

@Craig even Emperor’s have lives 😀

Hope the right equilibrium is achieved soon

@ScaryB a triple espresso wow thankyou 😀
