I think Bradley Walsh was or is a host on a question/answer show? mum hadn’t seen it but I used to watch it. It was pretty silly. I saw it again last night and it would be a repeat: his hair was brown and he was a bit less heavy. Not that he’s a fat guy! He just seemed younger. I wasn’t sure about him either but I like him a lot. He’s…[Read more]

You’re back. Personally, I’m SO glad that there are SO many people who are clever, who are thinkers, who are thoughtful who like this new series.
Things change honey-bunch. And that’s a good thing.
If you hate it, sweet. More for me to like. As for tweets, the people you like do it: Capaldi, Moffat …. even Whedon. I forget, you m…[Read more]

The parker-isms are probably my mis-interpretation but I feel the bebop thing & am probably the only one in the world to do so! 🙂
When you wrote “Keith…” it was on one line and so I thought (I made a bet) you might write… Jarrett but you wrote “Emerson” so I lost…except I actually ‘won’ what with Emerson being awesome ‘n’ all.…[Read more]

sorry to hear about the mole-turning traitor. A few of my 16/17 year old mates have had them removed which is young I reckon. But it’s close by, your hospital or clinic and I think they will numb the area with lidocaine or something?

Things petered out (the ‘countdown’ in series 5), loose ends were left dangling,or written off in a single sentence way down the line (the Silence, Madame Kovarian..
There were some dangly ends weren’t there? But I think maybe Moffat writes sparely for us to keep observing? That’s the way I’ve seen it. So that ultimately when…[Read more]

Wondering how much of the uncertainly some have with the character of the Doctor is because a woman is bringing a slightly different kind of energy to it? Is it different from what all the male actors brought to it?
Yeah, I think the Doctor has been developed nicely. The episode before this where the Doctor says, “I love…[Read more]

I think that would’ve been my relatives hanging out their sheets to dry 🙂
The amount of times we put sheets out -only to bring them in standing up from ice or frost -I don’t like to count. Prague is a truly beautiful city to me. People cite Paris as the most romantic and yet the buildings are all large and white (still beautiful) w…[Read more]

@geoffers Thank you for that!! I wasn’t exactly ‘myself’…..In my gut, hind-brain (or maybe I’m thinking from the proverbial rear-end) Snarks reminds me of Bela Fleck and The Flecktones -the mode & the Charlie ‘Bird’ Parker-isms. It’s a beautifully tight performance at 4:00 onwards till just after 5.00 where the vocal accompaniment didn’t…[Read more]

@whisht Love those songs you’ve added for ‘Rosa’ and others. I believe a class were listening to these odes nearing exam block & having completed the Rock’n’Roll as History unit 😉
You express yourself very well whisht.

Stan Lee of Marvel died 🙁 I might be new to this news.
@whisht 6/8 time can do it. Reminds me of a few great Beatles songs.
sweeping up-lift in the choral ‘backing’ as well the music modulating upwards with each set; overtones are also used; a lovely crescendo leading to —–> ff (fortissimo) and symmetry within the percussion, strings and…[Read more]

Great to see you back and ‘not lost’ though #LostinSalzburg should be a thing. I always loved Prague but Salzburg is colourful, a tad smaller, its river not quite as ….threatening. Indeed it is a life of luxury. Not uncommon amongst Aussies to spend $20 000 on a 4 or 2 month holiday in Europe incl fares/accom/cabs/train passe…[Read more]

ratings! awesome!
YOl! Dr Hu…..loved the number plate. Didn’t even though they were …..a thing. Apparently people have ‘life size’ Tardis’ in their garden: I have a Tardis mug which, when you heat things, allows for a disappearing Tardis (it really was awesome in its day).

@pedant Don’t “tell her what?”
I’m sitting in m’bed, begging for my laptop, out of the ICU and wanting to do something in between obs, cleaning out the naso-gastric tube (a real hoot-n-nanny), watching CNN & someone’s had a CAR ACCIDENT?? 🙁 Holy mother of them all.

It was amazing!! The drive was problematic. But we had several lectures by Indigenous peoples and visited the open -air museum and met one Indigenous actor! It was actually very cold. We had a campfire for the Dreaming which was terrific.
We now have lots of records and information -primary evidence will does include the…[Read more]

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Doctor Who’s first species of modern troll, the Pting: eating through wires and metal, never full, always hungry, never actually eating flesh but surviving on constituent computer parts and 0000s and 1000s. Looks like a toy but be aware of what it does…..
When the Doctor looked at the antimatter machine and…[Read more]

Man, I get back from frought bus trip to Myall Creek (no seat belts and tired drivers) grateful to be in a piece and you are not!! 🙁 Bad for Mr P.
BMWs: you should hear my dad talk about some of the Beemer Sunday drivers.
Glad you’re not too injured. But it sounds scary. I don’t have my learner’s yet even. I think no matter how…[Read more]

@idiotsavon @blenkinsopthebrave
Home again, to pack. Thank you for the link and the mention Mr Blenkinsop. It was an awful time. It is still a depressed community in many areas and this isn’t something, in ‘middle’ Brisbane we are aware of. The gentleman driving the bus may come from that area and I enjoy conversing with adults where I can and…[Read more]

@idiotsavon ! She does it again! 🙂 Thank you….!!!
I’ve nipped home to get some stuff for mum and then I’m back to school for a 2 day excursion where we are driving 7 hours there, 7 hours back. We have to bring a packed lunch and afternoon tea AND bring $50 for dinner, breakfast and lunch the next day. It’s NUTS! My school : what a wacked pl…[Read more]

(I really dislike calling you idiot!). Seriously, that has been very helpful. I clocked 9 hours today and 1000 words. I think the article was actually referencing “Does God exist in argument or ratiocination?” well. We need to counter the counter-argument, if that makes sense. As of right now, I could achieve a basic pass or a…[Read more]
