Whoa. Is  CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and OCAS? The Online College of Advanced Stem?

Very confusing indeed!

As for vowels? Oh yes, agreed – as does (loosely, I admit) this esteemed man of the people. “Subsidised foreign f**king vowels”

High voltage swearing:

@pedant. Thank you kindly!

@JanetteB I never saw S & S (I believe I have 2 DVDs of it. If I can find it, I’ll post one of ’em). Nor Galaxy Quest. That sounds ……interesting! QI was brilliant. Have you kept up with the new series? I love it equally. Another fab female. Speaking of……

This isn’t really Who related . But as our Jodie Whittaker sang Yellow for CIN I can c…[Read more]

Senior Syzygy here. Oh, am I a “senior” now, @pedant!

Promised violence of the Christmas kind.

Followed by something different.

That is utterly wonderful. The highlight of my week.

@whisht

Lovely.

OK, so not lying specifically.

But it’s between the lyrics.

Finally. I watched Resolution.

I HAD seen maybe 10 minutes (Dalek on Lin & she was very, very good) -but not the first 2-3 minutes as the 3 soldiers bury their Dalek pieces.

Some bits were odd. Doctor: “I’m going old school. Using lights, street cameras” etc.

Dalek then shoots them out and Doctor says: “it’s shot them out!” But I aint no…[Read more]

a qualified doctor?? Wow. Thank you for all that!

Finally I can say I understand who Jonathan Miller is! I have Kulture! But he’s died?  I’m too late, again. And very sad.  I worry that there will be so many great, learned people -writers, directors, producers, playwrights & bands I’ll barely know. I don’t know, entirely, if we are creating fantastic new ones? We should be. M…[Read more]

@gamergirlavatar.

Mum didn’t understand. a word. you. said. 😀  Geddit?  The Master when he’s speaking to the Doctor in the speech about kindness! 🙂

I think I do, though? You’re saying you’re like the Doctor. You relate, you dress like him…which must be awesome.  I’ve met some smart people in my life but none are really old. None have tr…[Read more]

@Winston @pedant and anyone with approaching or passing winter colds.

For anyone feeling under the weather with partners very unwell including Mr @missy.

I had a tear for Miller & James (sounds like a sketch act which both may’ve loved).

@whisht good to see you back on the music boards! Don’t leave them -you make these boards hum & tingle -all…[Read more]

@miapatrick

I had to read that twice.

“the birth of the reader must be required by the death of the author.” I had to Google this & read IT twice too. 🙂 I couldn’t cope with Derrida or Foucault so I stopped at ‘F’ 😉

If you think of the Doctor’s speech with Missy & the Master on kindness, that really sums up Barthes’s idea beautifully. Well…[Read more]

@winston

Full of ….it? Ah some NY grog! Well that’s perfectly acceptable: delicious, legal, delicious, legal, fun, in the spirit of the new year god of all ….Sun Ra…

You lost the channel?  Where’d it go?  🙂

You have a good son who earns some cash. Thus you’ll get the episode. It’s annoying that it’s not on the DVD with all 12-13 other episo…[Read more]

Oh Gawd. That was on Hell Bent. Jeepers. I read that page. It’s all me. Blabbing. Mind you I was pretty ….well …you know…..lots of pain relief. ….High as a kite.

Blabbers.
