@Bluesqueakpip oops. yes, see, you did it again “does it make them any more important” with the platitudes. No-one is claiming they are more important, more significant or better able to argue.

And yep, the poor sods who glued their hands to trains -apologised -& were fined*, making this a stronger sacred value platitude. It’s an illusion of a…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip

Yes, we’re  debating rights. Or rather you are. You’re talking about “rights & choices” when no-one has actually said they (the “poor”) don’t have any rights. You’re using sacred-value platitudes in order to build an argument no-one’s arguing about because no-one’s saying those values are wrong. The argument should be couched in…[Read more]

@peacefrog I think Mum would say “the sound was found as early as the 3rd century BC in…Crete.” Maybe. But we all love The Dead. And it resonates 🙂

We’re not both against Oxygen Right Now. Most people want it affordably. It’s not as if a “they” exists who shouldn’t have it (though water’s a massive problem & that’s a ‘not us Right Now argument’). Nor should ORN be discussed via them & they, but as an ‘us’.

Most are willing to understand people should be paid to ensure there’s Oxygen RN even…[Read more]

I think, please, that we need some mods to deal with the code that often crops up in people’s posts. I have NO idea why all of that appeared so apols for the masses of punctuation that appeared there and wasted space. To Blue:

Keep protesting. But don’t forget the science textbooks.

@phaseshift @miapatrick

I feel you are in attack mode?

I think a mod can be above that & attempt to be decent. It wasn’t decent, imo.

@peacefrog is a newbie. Maybe you’re judging him/them/her on one post when all his other posts have been genuine & interesting.

Once again I reiterate that this is a Good Place. The snark can leave now. It’s…[Read more]

@peacefrog

You are a wonderful frog. Genuine, clever & some music I haven’t thought of in ages. Welcome to you. Unless I already did that! in which case, welcome again 😀

Love a bit of the AlanPP me.

@whisht I assume the next anthem will be from dat place. OK, let me put on my father’s booming, Czech flavoured, stentorian ‘voice:’  🙂 “this awfu…[Read more]

OK, we’re goin’ slightly “off.”

I had the recording of this ages ago, never thought it would be on Youtube. Hah, the in’nernet. They needed a few extra female vocalists.  So, given the other discussion on t’thread: ole!

@bluesqueakpip @miapatrick

I felt it was preaching to the converted, that the only convertible people watching, given the way it was managed, were the fairly young, who can’t do anything yet…

The thousands of protesters were young like me (18). We CAN do something now. A programme like that dares us to. No-one believes -because I was there -…[Read more]

@rorysmith

Hi you! Happy new year. I did, yes. I couldn’t recall what they were called. I was thinking werewolves or forelocks 🙂

Hi doods!

One fun lecture down and bakery to go (long story).  So, I loved it. But Mum cried because our gen has to remove all your mistakes. I saw that in the young mechanic: confident, but scared -when hiding silently from the herd of predators -As kids we’re told to be silent.

Like @arbutus I felt it contained  waay too much stuff? but then I…[Read more]

Outstanding!

if all of the world is a political speech to you, 

No, but the political exists in the polis & every one of us is a part of this.

Except in Africa, parts of Europe & South Africa where a child who isn’t white is worth less than a privileged white American child. National Anthems are…[Read more]

I noticed that when the Doctor said “deep breath” in Babbage’s house, her hand was grabbed by Ada.

Niice.

I see that, as much as the recording by the Doctor for the flying instructions (ECAM -personal -to -Ryan -if it was an airbus?), weren’t a retread, more a homage?

I’ll check for more.

So, is this a Tranquility Base -thingy? I thought Midnight was set on a Tranquility Base? Could be completely wrong. So far no-one has mentioned this (because either my memory is wormy & I don’t have a clue, or any connection exists only in my mind).

Anyway, sorry about the troll reaction. In future, I will mind them as I would an orphan…[Read more]

@drwhoopinion

his episode just lost me and my wife as fans. Soooooo tired of political correctness being preached to me.…

Fucking hell what utter bullshit. You’re still fans. That’s why you’re here. Also so you can complain about actual MANNERS. You’re new here too? I don’t think they take requests. Most members tend to the Left. Well, no,…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave

You’re probably not wrong. The ‘web’ is a multifaceted place which brings all sorts of things. That’s the positive. The negative is that the ‘web’ is multifaceted place which brings all sorts of things.

The different webs are generally ‘acceptable.’ There’s where all  our ‘stuff’ is kept -credit details, logins. The other…[Read more]

@nerys

No worries, Nerys, this wasn’t about you, or about anyone disliking or feeling something. It was a thought, mainly to do with something else I should’ve been clearer about.  I do have a history, I must admit, of  worrying about the ‘internet.’ My main concern was with how clear Yaz was regarding her emotional state. And how people don’t o…[Read more]

@vervain

Agreed. It’s not phallic. I have absolutely no idea why that happened !

To the rest of the gang. I’ve mentioned before,  about 3 years ago, that the internet’s great. Except when people start using terms that others copy. It echoes.

Two years ago: new Doctor. Only now, we have one person ‘admitting’ “oh, actually, it’s flat. No…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave

Them other brains -the newbies!  And @mudlark too.

I’m re- watching Who -the 3rd run now – as a desperate way to avoid comments on the thread to do with the… Dead One (I aint looking, no spoilers: I’m up to episode 3).
