@Winston I’m doing this now too  LOOK AWAY NOW! (One exclamation mark must do). It rhymes!

@pedant @mudlark

then there’s this.

@pedant

Got it!

@mudlark

Oh no. No. No. The Buffy Dracula was DELIBERATE. It was supposed to be almost laughable.

@pedant Now, w/o a brain *don’t read this Winston spoilers might be ahead.

So, pedant. you said something about the erm, ahem, most unsolved mystery in the world (possibly).

OK, so a) who are the brin***s or the Fir**? No, not that.

b) why does one vampire have a hint/sniff of hu*an*ty & the others not? See Ame*** in …..  I think this is it…[Read more]

David Arnold and Price have scored the series. Their use of violins & violas, used in Sherlock to great effect, can be heard in the teaser above.

@pedant @blenkinsopthebrave  “they are coming.”

Whoa!! I hope we end up accessing both….sounds good

@pedant er what?

Yes, we know St Pancras & people are in a hurry. The roof is spectacular!  You’d think a few more people might pause. Everyone is going too fast everywhere all the time. I think.

Syzygy (Thane16) and mum.

@bluesqueakpip

It’s your narrative always. Your opinion, naturally, & we all respect that, obviously,  but Whedon, in response to questions about watching Buffy says, “absolutely try to watch it in order. That’s my thing. You don’t obviously have to….But I used to say “watch it in order if only to see that actually it gets better, at least…[Read more]

@JanetteB

erm, erm, what, what? WHAT???

I have been trying for a very long time to locate The Getting of Wisdom. The book is good but I’m mentioning the film as it seemed to make more of an impact? It’s not that great a film. The music, (an improvisation) the young & arrogant talented but nasty little pianist plays is totally sh** but….OK.…[Read more]

@Winston @pedant

My advice is “please don’t watch seasons 1-5 after season 6.” Seriously. I think Thane said the same -& typing for me yesterday.

I disagree that it’s a “jump -in” point @bluesqueakpip. And yes, SMG is on the cover of a show in which she stars/starred. Hell, Season 7 let out covers of Leo in The West Wing years ago when they…[Read more]

unless you have watched seasons 1 to 5 already? And there’s 7 but it really needs 6 to go with….  (Thane16)

@Winston !!!! No! Try not to watch Season 6 before seasons 1-5. Otherwise, well, it’s “dark” but yes, incredible. But knowing the characters from the first season is best, imo. I understand they could be expensive? But it could be will be worth it.  Seriously. If you throw yourself into season 6, SO much of the brilliance of it, the new…[Read more]

@Winston  Hey Winston, I’m typing for mum who isn’t “making sense.” Thank you. A great friend with 2 boys, eldest is 28 & a the other 23- 25. Her husband was a teacher who published some terrific ‘doable’ grammar texts &  retired to build apartments for their nest egg. She’s involved with choirs the type I’ve forgotten, but they go to town with gl…[Read more]

So, last week I found out a really good friend of mine, a mentor & a friend has early onset Alzheimers.

I was this nervous little thing & she’d say “right, take the chorus for this rehearsal” & I’d say “oh no, me? No, seriously, not me!” & she’d say “yes, you can & you will. 5 minutes. get ready.”

I’d be red in the face & get through it & the…[Read more]

@whisht

You still up mate?

🙂 That was awesome. The comments on youtube were actually incredibly funny too.

I have an “ishoo” with boogie the woogie. But it’s FUN (& & I shouldn’t dislike it…. I don’t really).

It’s erm……repetitive. And his fingers are damned flat on the board. If he’d curl them he’ll have many years of playing to g…[Read more]

@whisht that  very sweet, He showed true feeling & a sensitivity. Lovely

@Winston I know feeling better is not probably where you’re at -yet but reach  out if you want to talk some more.  @pedant a terrific song. I heard The Cure a lot later than I should’ve . My colleagues ‘intervened’ & I’m glad they persisted. It’s been a bit of a silly we…[Read more]

@winston

You are a wonderful cook.  Our young lad could eat dollops of cream, pie, lemon pie, apple pie and turkey, probably in that order! Not unlike his uncle he prefers savoury food which means weeks of baking in, well, baking heat, might ease a little. But it’s significant to share a table around which many memories are built, where troubles…[Read more]

@mudlark

Thank you SO much for your gardening assistance. Mayall* I call you Yoda? Or Goda? For God of Gardening -except the ‘d’ isn’t right for ‘garden’ but Goga doesn’t scan well.

I have a question: How do the worms arrive by themselves? I am, as you see, neither Goda, nor Goga but possibly Daga (Dumb at Gardening).  Also, Daga sounds like a…[Read more]

@whisht

True. It’s “nowish.”

Also, I sounded daft: “changeable except Brexit, etc & woman doctor.”  When I meant (& those who know me would’ve gotten it), I like a Woman Doctor Who. Just sayin’ in case it became “whaa?”

Thank you! You’re right it stands as an awesome solo.

I have to admit I didn’t even know Ginger’d died & I was listening to…[Read more]

@mudlark

I didn’t know that -re Lady Hale as President of the Supremes. I should’ve known (partly because of the song on the music thread), having remembered the tiny speck of a snippet of a  discussion about Boris the Spider. Our High Court is headed by Susan Kiefel. I read part of a paper on rhetoric & gave up. 😉

Ah, yes, your brother (the…[Read more]

@mudlark! Good to see you on the music thread. Great song. Lady Hale, however is lost to me? Is she married to a time lord, at all? Or an earth Lord? 🙂

I know. Not very funny. My humour’s a work in progress.

@blenkinsopthebrave

Totally agree: the singer and the feelings of certain times attached to certain music. It’s incredibly important to…[Read more]
