‘Qu’ils mangent de la brioche’* certainly shouldn’t be attributed to Marie Antoinette, since it was originally quoted in the autobiography of Jean-Jacques Rousseau where it is attributed only to ‘a great princess’, and this was written before Marie Antoinette even arrived in France. It has been suggested that it was in…[Read more]

@thane16 In my case it was essentially me, in a bad mood, butting in on someone else’s argument, which was my bad.

@thane16

I’m not actually saying you shouldn’t protest – heck, with the recent devastating fires which were (very high probability) aggravated by an inadequate response to climate change, you should! But what I am arguing about is an assumption that the most important thing to you will necessarily be a) the most important thing to someone else…[Read more]

Take me to your leader….

Just as easy to dance to as “Rock Lobster”.

@thane16 and @galaxyimage  As I said after watching this episode, I liked it! I watch Doctor Who as an escape and escape I do, for 45 glorious minutes. I sink into the show like a soft mattress with a warm and fuzzy blanket refusing to move until it is over. How I feel about the show when I am watching is all that matters to me at the time and…[Read more]

Enjoy!

I don’t have to tell you things are bad, everyone knows things are bad….

Anybody like the Thin White Duke?

Okay, anybody else afraid of Americans?

How about our Carrot-top in Chief?

Afraid of him? I’m afraid he might do something really stupid.

What’s that?

Oops! He already did.  😀

Hey you green warty toad!

You croaked?

Could you post three different songs from three separate soundtracks and have them all be killer, but still have all three soundtracks be awesome at the same time?

…….said absolutely nobody ever.

Shhh…I just need an excuse to post these songs. 😀

Starting with the…[Read more]

This band was….dare I say transcendent.

Still are. Somebody wrote this in the comments section for this video and I couldn’t have put it better myself.

Maps is a killer song.

Thanks for posting that. I wish there were more bands like that now. They sound sooooo good.

Got to go into work here in a sec. How dare they!  😀

This one speaks for itself.

@thane16

I haven’t watched this one yet but everyone seems to be talking about the use of recycled themes.

Just realized that while I thought the first two episodes were way better than most of last years, they did reuse some stuff from Smith’s run.

Namely…the Day of the Doctor.

Both have a mysterious organization sending somebody…[Read more]

Proof that there are at least 62 people out there with absolutely zero musical taste.

@thane16 – that’s a great version of La Marsellesa – and you’re right about the female choir needing more voices! But I loved the male singers barging in to begin with… and being barged back out.

Its a great, stirring song. A real puff-your-chest-out-in-pride rabble rowser.

And in no surprise to anyone who’s ever seen me post a song, here’s…[Read more]

Well, I hope there’s nothing wrong with preaching because I have an actual licence to do just that.

Okay, let’s preach it, brothers and sisters!:)

Protesting meant doing so outside large corporate palaces where salary earners (not wage earners) were ignoring problems.

I am actually quite glad Martin Luther King awakened so many. But if all of the world is a political speech to you, then the concept of entertainment has been lost.

Welcome, @peacefrog! I too lurked a long time before joining in the fun.

@thane16   Not sure if Midnight was a tranquility base, but it was certainly the same kind of place. Definitely a recall there, and that was one of my favourite Tennant episodes!
