    Hello all!

    Have been away from here longer than I meant to be. Would love to have the excuse of not being able to pilot my TARDIS properly but sadly I STILL don’t own one.

    Not caught up on all the discussions but just in passing, I am a big fan of GoT and looking forward to seeing more of series 5! It’s the characters that I love in this ……[Read more]

    @cubefox

    I guess thanks to you I will enjoy watching the next Season more than I would have without reading another persons thoughts. (:

    What you say here pretty much sums up what I’ve found with this forum and all the brilliant people on it. The discussions, the debates always bring up something I hadn’t noticed in an episode, or a different…[Read more]

    From the sounds of the above it’s already been dealt with but for the record I also got a PM from jennylv21 yesterday.

    I also second (or third or whatever count we’ve got to) not removing the PM function if at all possible.

    @FatManInABox if you like we could all spam you a PM saying we love your profile and could you send us your e-mail address,…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Last Christmas

    @cubefox No problem! We are all allowed to have bad days – I hope whatever the unfortunate things that happened that day got sorted/better for you.

    I  don’t think you insulted anyone (certainly not me), just that with that sudden outburst I’m afraid you opened yourself up for some very sarcastic retorts – I’m afraid I couldn’t help myself ;…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Last Christmas

    @BarbaraLefty  Eep! Sorry. Sitting nicely, waiting for a biscuit – good dog spider 😉

    Looking again, it’s maybe not stuff from the full 60s trailer (although I think there are snippets) the one I’m really meaning is one of the ones released before the main trailers. These seemed to be called ‘teasers’ rather than trailers, and the one I’m really…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Last Christmas

    Ok, not quite sure where best to pose this question, but since Last Christmas was the finale of Series 8 (well, I consider it to be the real finale) I shall put it here and let our gracious mods kick it elsewhere if necessary 🙂

    So, having now seen all of the episodes and then looking back at the various trailers for Series 8 before any episodes…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Last Christmas

    @elbalk-kev  As already said I think others here have already summed it up. I basically don’t agree with most of what you say, but you do make some good points and I myself have rolled my eyes countless times at the bad science in Doctor Who. In particularly recently Kill The Moon and Forest Of The Night which just pushed things over the top over…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic The Cloven Hoof

    Happy New Year to all when  it comes (or if indeed it has already gone!).

    A few hours to go for me yet – will be happily watching the Edinburgh fireworks on the tele with my Mum, Dad and Brother while sitting by a warm stove with an extremely large glass of Whisky.

    @lisa  LOL nice link, not sure I’ll be able to come with some of those costumes b…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic On The Sofa (6)

    @BarbaraLefty  I had the same reaction as you XD arise sir War Doctor indeed!

    ((;;/)/)

  • Spider replied to the topic On The Sofa (6)

    Yep, I got a @jennylve PM too. Seemed very fishy to me! (apologies to all fish based lifeform names here!)

    To campfires, as far as I know in registered campfires in Scotland they have rules. But I have also camped other places where there were no rules .. often they were the best fun. Once, on a beach we found a railway sleeper to fling on the…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Last Christmas

    @purofilion Cheers 🙂 Know anywhere they sell ‘listening and patience’ cheap? I probably need to stock up myself 😉

    Yeah, quite right I haven’t been around for a bit. After Series 8 finished I kept meaning to pop back in and say hello in the forums, and also join in with the watching old episodes thread but it all just got a bit hectic – not with…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Last Christmas

    @Bluesqueakpip Ohhh! spot on about the sulking. Loved that thought that he goes to the actual volcano place!

    @CathAnnabel I have to admit I probably also was also one saying on another thread that ‘it was all a dream’ was a terrible cop out. I’m glad to have been proved wrong by Moffat.

    @cubefox yeah that clara oswalt, can’t bloody stand her oh…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Last Christmas

    Merry Christmas to all. Hope Santa was good to you all – I got my (very much demanded) series 8 blu ray and also a Tardis T-shirt which I am very chuffed with!

    Just got round to seeing the Christmas special this afternoon and really enjoyed it. Think I saw the ‘dream within a dream’ reasonably early on but was still very good. And I really…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Death in Heaven

    @lisa don’t worry, I’ve only given you PART of an army, I’ve got the rest and I assure you my notions are not entirely sane 😉  wah hah hah hah etc.

    ((|;;/)/)

  • Spider replied to the topic Death in Heaven

    @lisa and @arbutus  yes. Army storage is available in the Nethersphere. Just sent a wee note to SEB and he’ll sort you out.

    OOPS! I may have revealed too much 😮

    ((;;/)/)

  • @purofilion so sorry to hear your sad news. Dementia is so cruel.

    I feel so very lucky to still have both my Mum and Dad with me – they both have had different scares/operations for cancer over the last few […]

  • Spider replied to the topic Death in Heaven

    @Arbutus  absolutely second, third and fourth what others have said. Spot on.

    @lisa The quote “I couldn’t agree with you less”, nope not politician or a comedian. Was Avon from Blake’s 7 in the episode The Web. 🙂  That line always comes to mind when I read nonsense that trolls like to spout.

    But since you were the only one to bite you win the p…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Death in Heaven

    Right, now that I’ve calmed down from laughing after reading those frankly ridiculous points:

    @Fonsini – I couldn’t agree with you less.

    A prize to whoever knows where that quote comes from 😉  (no cheating and looking up the internet now!).

  • Spider replied to the topic Death in Heaven

    @BESD1 and @blenkinsopthebrave

    In regards to #1:  It completely depends how you define the ‘delete emotion’ parameters in your IF statement. Is it a ‘pressed the button’ checkbox? in which case, you’d still have to examine the underlying code to determine exactly what emotions are actually deleted … and how you define that in the first…[Read more]

  • Spider replied to the topic Death in Heaven

    @Mudlark  good point about the nanobots. That does let me stretch believability (almost) that it could be picked up by some sort of airborne system or satellite.

    I suppose in the time the Doctor was unconscious UNIT could have gone round and done some ground penetrating measurements of graveyards – since he had warned them that’s where the t…[Read more]
