@pedant well, yes I am admirable.  Mum said that so I typed it!

But I agree with you too. Also she looks at the tardis as well as seeing & its gorgeous.

People also say that we are disadvantaged when we cannot view a person we wish to. Awkward phrasing & “obvious” but that is a difficulty now. “This modern world” and all that…

T16

so Alec Roberts has orchestrated and contributed to a number of telly series and also some movies. The score of this so VERY  operatic.

Puro

at approx. 45:49 Director slams the close up when the Doctor says,
“do you wanna try?”  (fitting in TARDIS).

So much to love about this. sladders and lakes

Dooley’s character (brilliantly acted) saying “you’re irrelevant” and “I love my mum.”

I think when Lynch popped up with “I scooped you!” I fell for her. Ensemble Class: or cast. 🙂

@whisht Hooray! Music. Silly? Never! 😀   For instance…..Dr Berg…( I need a  re-watch of that bit with Malik -it was hard to hear but there was an odd …..feel too).

@arbutus

exactly, I enjoy Berg -with reservations. At restaurants and bars. Although the fare at the local Mater Mirage is somewhat less varied it has its upsides.  Lots of cond…[Read more]

@arbutus

but do you like Alban Berg?   😀     I do myself and I particularly like Cantos which use statements like the one above -Handel was my original inspiration…..

Good to hear from you… I shall pop to PMs. I somehow missed some messages (blame the drugs. Everyone else does and they’re right!)

@idiotsavon

And when the Clara intrigue came along, I was really gripped. (I discovered this fab forum during a massive Clara-based Google session..

WHERE have you  BEEN?

OK that works better in an actual story format. What I’m saying is, thank you for that gold (it wasn’t just a tuppence).  I also did a mad google search and fell from the sky (…[Read more]

@shinymcshine

Well, dear, I did call bullshit on the other thread. And I thought you said you were leaving? 🙂

@juniperfish “interrogate the whatsit.”

Are we post-modern again?

*just kidding*  all’s good.

@troygorsline

You’re the one I like.

This is hilarious. I’ve seen the episode once. Everything is upside down.

Puro with drips.

@shinymcshine

it’s even worse than that. The computer inside it has nothing to do with primitive earth tech either. … In the 3 Dr.s episode, one had an algorithm running for 400 years to solve the unlocking of a wooden door… writer’s trivialized it and cheated us again.

I find that a little ‘off’ with respect. I don’t see trivialising. You use…[Read more]

@pedant  @ichabod

As I said, it was a rebuke for someone who had made a dick move on someone who was beaten and being expelled – then crowed about it, in his wholly inadequate way. It was a tiny analogue of Tom Shaw’s abject an cowardly inadequacy.

Indeed. @shinymcshine it is history or characteristic for the Doctor to state: “you had no righ…[Read more]

It’s the “in reality” that makes it Art.

@ichabod

But high pitches are..used to indicate “I am non-threatening, don’t fear me” and “I wuv you, you little cutey pie, come to mama” …. And a low, slow voice in humans, both male and female, is sometimes associated with seductive excitement.

Yes, lower pitches are calming to some species.*…[Read more]

@bluesqueakpip

But it is a video game. It’s made clear it’s a video game. It’s just that this particular video game has real live people taking part.

Quite.

@pedant The issue with the word ‘authoritative’ is boiling the Pot in my head because it’s a ‘small’ word for an enormous concept, imo. 🙂

At last something I know something about!

Aircraft….

I often say I have difficulty talking to people who don’t understand planes. Issues of attitude determining altitude etc. 🙂

But I digress. Different vocal styles are produced by men and women. Pitch and timbre are quite different. Different notes can have the same…[Read more]

@miapatrick

My training has been cancelled. 🙁  Mum said “How on EARTH could I (her) have caused that to happen. What are you? FIVE?”  I didn’t get cake, though, so she easily could  ‘do’ weather. I’m sure words with Rain God are totally within her powers.

In fairness the tread was because she has to lift a drip…. which in our house has to be…[Read more]

@ichabod

Mum is coming up the stairs. She has a heavy tread. It’s like a scary horror flick.

I may not be modded but I’ll take my punishment if I am (but Mum started it. LOL). Worse (maybe) I’m threatened with no dessert!

And I like cake 🙁

@miapatrick

Yep. Oops. You got that right. I (T16) was responding to ….oxygen bubbles and throwing up ….in them…..

As you were. AAAnd I stole that line from Puro The Elder.

@juniperfish  re #64600

I think “connotations of greater informality” =  pejorative.

@Cathannabel yes, that sounds really good to me. I think mum meant something like this. I do know Russell’s tea-pot and from a brief discussion before she nodded off on Sofa we delved into how low pitch is modelled in experiments across species and she m…[Read more]

@ichabod

Oh come on. @miapatrick and I are throwing up. FOR SURE.

I should add if one wishes to ad lib or write stories go to fan wank fiction thread.

T16 (and I’m the younger one! Jeckers H. Cripes)

Yeah, I’ll be modded off. But I will not stand for stupid and neither will The Mother!

@ichabod

Low voices show pitch relationships. Words like “authoritative” are stimulated from data modelling when recent CTs and MRIs show low pitch calming to most but not all species. Sometimes there’s a Russell TeaPot on the boil when small words like “authority” emerge from larger concepts via modelling discussions.

Logical atomism, it can…[Read more]

Futher Mucking Hell! That’s SO good. Much better than Chibber’s (That poor kid scolded for shoving tooth-face off the crane and doing something nasty. Jodes and crane-man should’ve hi-fived, personally. But I reckon Whedon would probably do it Chibber’s way.). But back to yours. My pals at Yale would bloody love it. But I recall…[Read more]

Too much morphine clearly, “it’s on film”

Really? The bit where I said “aspirin?? shit!” except it was ibuprofen.

Christ, it IS on film: and that’s obviously quite embarrassing.  Particularly now.

As you were.

@bluequeakpip.

Mm? Yes, I had heard of that issue -with eyewitnesses.
