You’ve been keeping those links and videos coming fast and furious. I’ve been lurking as fast as I can…[Read more]

I’ve been away — death in the family — and have been madly trying to catch up on all the activity.

I *think* I saw an Eleven and Clara Advent Calendar somewhere in your posts. I can’t seem to find it now. I’m thinking it’d make a lovely present for my niece … Mind giving me the link/info?

@Shazzbot — I sent that info on menudo to you so that your long-latent inner Angelino could minister to the afflicted while Strax was otherwise occupied in the “Scotch Land.” I wasn’t sure if should be posted before it’s needed.

Guess I should have included a spoilers warning.

Now — with the promise of a sure-fire hangover cure — so many…[Read more]

On October 23, 2013, I saw, in Los Angeles, California, USA, a filmed performance of the recent Menier Chocolate Factory production of Merrily We Roll Along, which took the West End and all of London by storm earlier this year. I’m a big Sondheim fan. The production was superb. It was easy to see why the show received so many five star reviews…[Read more]

ETA @Bluesqueakpip,

Guess the earlier time zone gets the worm — or, the ghost of Bobby Pickett. Great minds think alike, eh?

@HTPBDET, family and friends.

I am SO, SO, SO glad he got to see his son and the McGann boy married. How achingly bittersweet. How much I wish I had been able to do something to make their wedding day one of celebration rather…[Read more]

@craig, @scaryb, @shazzbot, Tardis blue is *always* a lovely choice. 🙂

@Craig, you’re doing such a wonderful job of responding to people’s ideas and suggestions. ::: bowing down ::: all hail our emperor! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

@people, your great suggestions and feedback have been essential in the crafting of the new format and look of…[Read more]

@Shazzbot, and you ask me a question after I’ve only had a cup and a half of cold, leftover coffee?

I dunno, my Scottish ancestors have gone off to join Kenneth MacAlpin and Rob Roy MacGregor in that great Highland dance in the sky. Many of my English ancestors qualify for the Sons of the American Revolution and the Daughters of the American…[Read more]

@Craig

Popped by for a quick check for recent bonkers, news, etc. and fell in love with what you’d done to the place. Bravo.

>>You can use Americanisms in your posts all you like. 😀 Just not in the site’s text please.<<

@Craig,
