hi there. Yes, ‘loading up’ was incorrect. I find, though, that after I click on 22 it takes a few minutes to get there. At that point, on my phone, at least, I have an awful lot of scrolling followed by it (often) going back to page 1 again.

@blenkinsopthebrave yes, that sounds like a very good plan. Is it that the Doctor doesn’t really connect with Donna? That the story, involves her, but not?
The last couple of The Doctor Donna episodes, had various people (like the Shadow Proclamation) stating, “I’m sorry for your loss.” And when Donna prodded, the younger woman reiterated, “the lo…[Read more]

@janetteb and to you! Yes, we’re doing well. It’s hot here but we’ve had no rain & compared with the flood peaks expected today in Victoria (??), I believe, we’re very grateful. I know flood warnings came 7 days ago with expected river peaks effectively at midnight last night. Not good at all. It either never rains, and there’s fires, or it floods…[Read more]

@nerys you have restored my memory! Yes, it was Roadkill.

McRory was wonderful. I remember her in Northsquare. Back in ‘98, I think.

@nerys absolutely 👍 for Hugh. His voice -whether as the bloviating House or in an English role is worth a watch. I did see him in a British political thriller 2-3 years ago which was a disappointment, imho, but more to do with the occluded story line than anything Hugh-wise. 😀

Hey again @Oochillyo.
im sorry I didn’t see your other post. You absolutely, definitely shouldn’t give up your dreams of creating art. During Covid I think we all experienced terrible loneliness so doing anything remotely crafty is a must.

Don’t allow people to tell you you are rubbish. Beethoven was called an idiot, so was Mahler, Shost…[Read more]

Hi @Oochillyo

I wish I could help you! My areas are music & history. Yes, I’d like to know that too. I don’t think conservation of energy is a law, though….

I’d add, however,  that energy in & energy out isn’t the same & doesn’t need to be, as per your 5th paragraph.
🙂

@winston golly, yes, “It” scared me too. And I’m alright around clowns. You didn’t do anything wrong. These things happen.

Thane stayed with a friend 3 years his senior so he saw the 4th Harry Potter at age 8 & spent the next YEAR yelling thru the wee hours, wanting night lights/ stair lights, when, from Year Zero he’d never had those additions…[Read more]

@winston You are a card! (As me dear ma used to say).
“never ask granny for a fu**ing cookie” indeed.

yes, certain films may not be Christmas flicks, per se, but as memories with kids, it’s a great reminder. Two years ago Thane commanded: We. Are. All. Watching. Harry Potter. This. Christmas.

I thought “all? You mean 1 film, yes?” No, it was al…[Read more]

@janetteB -podcast sounds great. Thank you.

Helloo my darlings…

@janetteb @winston

i LOVED Staged! Huge fun. I don’t know Ave 5 but then most anything with Laurie is wonderful. As for Armando, big tick. One day, when I was still working, & home late, I opened the door to a series of hiccuping giggles  belonging to Thane, who at 13 had nicked my laptop & was watching The Thick Of It! I kn…[Read more]

@winston @nerys Blenkinsopthebrave

ooh, I’m intrigued by Avenue 5? It sounds like something that’s worth a watch. Should I plunge in?

d’ol Puro ❤️

@translatorcircuit

mmmn. Are you high (& I know what that’s like so no judgement 😁😳)?  You seem, with respect, to be stating opinions labelled as True News.

But look, it seems you’re either an actor or writer, as you stated you wouldn’t want to tackle either (for Who) as you’d likely know the outcome.👍 Which is fair reason. What are your fav…[Read more]

Yes, the cast of the final Chibnall set of Who episodes was star studded -any more & it may’ve been unwieldy. Tegan & Ace weren’t characters I knew particularly well so I did  research & watched a few excerpts & scenes. It gave a nice boost to do that on Who’s 59th birthday.
– speaking of Olivia Coleman, I was watching The Crown with Thane who wa…[Read more]

Hey @winston

agreed. I’ll benefit from a re-watch. I found the final episode (or film) a real tear jerker which is usually my litmus test for success.

hellooo to all…

Hallooo everyone!
yes, us too: sad about Bernard Cribbins dying…(belated).

@winston indeed, I also found the ep Rose a brilliant introduction to NuWho/After Gap.

Neither did I have any idea the 9th Doctor was to regenerate into TenDoc.

speaking of Tennant, I don’t think ABC Aus receives the TV shows from The BBC in quick time anymore but The…[Read more]

I didn’t did I? Read “I hope her acting is as good as her looks?” Nah, I wouldn’t have read that.

I think the Nu Rose, is in fact a different character called Rose. But I’m effectively 10 weeks behind. Thrilled RTD is taking over the rains. Chibnall must be knackered. I mean surely “he looks a little tired….” 🙂

old Puro. Hope all and everyone is well.

@nerys yes, good to see you! We’re all pretty much experiencing major or minor flooding in Brisbane at the mo. I always complain when we don’t have rain but then moan after 3 days -but it’s been more than a week of solid rain but I’m lucky -we’re on a hill.

I think it was made abundantly clear the doctor couldn’t recog Clara. the symmetry co…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent. @mudlark Hallooo!

I too rewatched Who in the past few months & love those episodes with Clara.

I think the Dr uses his sonic for emergency ATM withdrawals (Tennant in Tate’s bride episode)  but could use his psychic Paper to obtain necessaries? I think he doesn’t ‘know’ Clara at all by the Diner Incident- maybe Clara’s…[Read more]
