Hi all, I haven’t seen anyone link to it, so thought I would here (apologies if I missed this being mentioned already!).

Basically 50 years ago today was the first time the Doctor regenerated.
Here’s an article explaining stuff:

Oh, and @ichab…[Read more]

ah – made it (having a few problems with those brute force attacks on the network blocking the site).

@puroandson – great Lehrer song! I really should listen to more of his work!

So for Class Episode One here’s a couple of songs that popped up on my iTunes

And I do love the “Holy calamity” sung…[Read more]

Hi all, I have a whole load of things to reply/respond to (am lurking not drowning but stuff on), but just had to say I’m so happy to Son @puroandson on the soccer trials!

Fantastic news!

Also – there was (now a long time ago) mention of clothing for a trip to UK in November involving thermal gloves and long johns etc.

Are you travelling north…[Read more]

@Puroandson
well….. thanks for that ditty on zombies. I erm, may give the film a miss, but probably my loss.
[ahem]
I’m not a zombies fan if I’m honest, especially the zombies who walk around in the morning on their way to work staring at their phones and not avoiding people as they walk until the last moment (if then).
Mobiles have actually…[Read more]

hey @Arbutus and @Blenkinsopthebrave @puroandson – glad you liked it.
And Arbutus (and anyone else) – you can always ping to my pong.

;¬)

and it turns out I have two superpowers after all – rolling my tongue and burping on cue.
(As you’d imagine, both have taken me far and shaped my life).

And the talk of Spring set me off…[Read more]

Hey @Arbutus – nice bit of jazz!

Or should I say niiiiiiiiiiiicccce.

And that was a version of Wheel’s on Fire I hadn’t heard so that was good.

Anyway, some wonderful discussions recently on these threads about Mind Palaces.
And then someone mentioned the Goons.
Obviously, the intersection of those two topics can only be one…[Read more]

So, I’ve been meaning to come on and post some music to do with Who (would make a change!!) but each time I hear something and think “ooh that would be good” I realise that a bunch of swearing etc is in the lyrics! *

I usually just search my iTunes using a word (eg “wait” “waiting”) and then listen to what comes up. I then listen to lyrics and…[Read more]

ok, this has nothing to do with anything.

no one died (except of course in the referenced material loads of people/perps died) and this is merely a homage to classic soundtracks and the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.

Not sure if this will work, but I’m trying to make the image a link…

(yeah I know, I guess subconsciously I was thinking of Judge Dread….)

Right.

Honestly this will stop, but yes, here’s a track prompted by the artist passing away.

feel free to ‘answer’ with tracks by Madness.

{sigh}

So, a while back we were wondering if anyone did the cleaning chores around the Tardis… dusting and suchlike.
Obviously that made me think of the psychic pollen stuck in the rotors, the Dream Lord and Amy’s Choice.

Now, if you think this is just an incredibly tenuous reason to post this track then… you may be…[Read more]

and this is for everyone who’s mentioned they need some peace (and kind’ve quiet).

But mainly peace.

Somebody did the decent thing and made a single youtube post of two great tracks.
Good work!

This is for @mersey

Its basically a way of saying that I truly hope you don’t think you’ve been picked on or battered.
I think this site goes in for theories (hopefully bonkers), debates (sometimes serious), fun, the unexpected and….

music.

But hopefully always with respect. and I know you truly are liked here.

I hope I’ve chosen the right…[Read more]

hi @ichabod – just wanted to echo everyone’s thoughts and glad the op went well.

Also hi there @trillianwho – welcome!
Hope you like it here, and judging by your posts I think you’ll make it an even richer place!

I’m sure I’m missing saying “hi” to someone else – have been lurking with not much to add to the conversations, so have just sat…[Read more]

Now for some birthday tracks for @Puroandson

Apologies its late, but I wanted to find something special.
However…. my usual method is to ‘search’ my iTunes using relevant keywords, but “birthday” just brings back the obvious.

So I just scrolled through and randomly picked out a few things that I thought “ha ha!” when I saw/heard them.
🙂

I…[Read more]

Hi Puro’s Son – well your cousin is certainly talented!

She has a great voice!
I don’t recognise all he songs, but the first is a song by James Blunt. But I think I prefer your cousin’s version!

I didn’t recognise the second one, but the third is a great track by James Taylor, and there’s a great cover by Willie Nelson.

Thanks for sharing this…[Read more]

@puroandson

Hey mate – you’ve made me blush!

;¬)

But also I have to dig through some music to give your mum something worth listening to, so it may take a few hours and that means it may be tomorrow by the time you and she (maybe?) hears it.

But wanted to say – you’re a good bloke, keep just doing what you do.
You can call me “whisht” if…[Read more]

I wish I wasn’t posting (the same) music in reaction to similar events again.

Hi @mudlark – just to say, I wholeheartedly agree with your post.

As for walking far without the stick….. personally, I’d bring it.
If it turned out I didn’t need it, I’d twirl it around and laugh at anyone who bothered looking, with a “yeah – you know, this is fucking ace, I’m walking“.

But that’s just me.

Take care and glad you’re even…[Read more]

oops – I’ve not replied to a bunch of people!

@bluesqueakpip – always liked that Jules cover and REM is one I’ve always tried every few years to think “do I really like them?”
@barnable – cheers, not heard in a long time and actually bothered myself to listen all the way through and raised a smile when it was sorely needed!
🙂
@Arbutus – thanks…[Read more]
