btw – may I just say thanks to @Phaseshift (and @Craig et al) for taking a silly little suggestion and creating this thread?

I’m hoping its given people some fun and ability to share something (especially if they’ve nothing quite bonkers enough to say!).

I don’t do resolutions, but this year I will try and post some music less than five years old.

🙂

Hi everyone – I was going to welcome the new year with something obvious, but on reflection thought that the lyrics of this give a sense of hope more than U2.

Hope your phone is on the hook, and that 2014 is full of love for you and yours.

ok – last post(ing) for a bit.

For Time of the Doctor (and Matt Smith), I think this makes a fitting epitaph.

ah @Arbutus – thanks, I missed that!

duh!

what’s the emoticon for “slaps head”?

[though not ‘slaphead’. I may well be a slaphead, but that’s different]

@Scaryb and @Juniperfish – thanks sooo much for Camille and John Grant. I don’t know them well but must change that now tout suite!

@Arbutus – not heard that one before, but love a bit of Young (and those other guys!)

😉

Must admit I hadn’t realised it was our birthday (who’d a thought that we all shared the same birthday??!)

There really is only ONE song suitable for New Year’s Eve and a birthday celebration.

btw, I didn’t spot that the regeneration given to the Doctor was another “full set”.

It probably was, but equally, if Moffat wanted to, we could get to the end of Capaldi’s reign and him not know whether he has any more left (something I like and I think @JimtheFish mentioned).

It wasn’t the greatest – there were quite a few moments on second…[Read more]

Hi all – been lurking but reading and catching up (especially after being with non-Who family and friends over!).

Must admit, on 1st viewing I thought it wasn’t greatest story and was tough for those who hadn’t been following the whole series, but on second viewing I thought it was actually quite well paced (not rushed), thoughtful but a bit less…[Read more]

Hi @Phaseshift – good memory! and yes, he’s partnered with The Actor Kevin Eldon.

Also in that episode – John Simms!

(as well as a Dredd poster!)

🙂

ah @Arbutus – no worries and thanks!

I had the same problem (scans being only on my laptop), so I created a deviantart account and uploaded the artwork so I could post here (using the image URL).

Free, and if spammy to whatever email I used, I’m not noticing!

ah well, merry christmas anyway (and I don’t think you ever really can say it too often!)

🙂

Hi @DiscoStupac – welcome!

That’s a lovely spot! Indeed goes well with others’ here that there’s doppelgangeriness happening!

Nice first post!

And please cover your ears when you listen to @fatmaninabox ‘s musical reply. Though not actually a spoiler, its bad enough to turn milk!

😉

@Arbutus – loving that cartoon 🙂

@MartyB – I don’t know where to begin with the worst xmas song ever so I won’t – its unforgiveable!! However – Charlie Brown redeem’s most things!

🙂

Similarly – nothing can forgive @FatManInABox ‘s The Timelords horror – except of course a judicious muppet song!!
(as well as a rather fetching seasonal avatar…[Read more]

@Arbutus – how did you try to link your picture? It may be worth asking a mod, but if its a webpage you can either just paste the URL and we’ll work it out, or add a link to a piece of text (select the text and then click on the underlined ‘link’ option above the Tex box you’re typing in).

Alternately if its an image that’s online somewhere,…[Read more]

Hi @Phaseshift (and everyone else!).

In terms of post xmas / NY tv viewing, all those sound good. Never did get to see any of those shows for a long period (just a few before inevitably trailing off).

Another comedy that could work is Spaced (too many Who-related people to mention). I happened to randomly catch an episode last night and raised a…[Read more]

he he – there’s a ton of good stuff here that I’ll listen to later while having a glass of white port (my god what a discovery that was!) and wrapping the final presents.

Although this could have been embarrassing, Kim Wilde has said she really enjoyed this and (yes) was completely and utterly plastered!!

It left me with a big smile…[Read more]

Just a bit of Friday fun

Its not quite a bonker’s theory generator but… a few of them made me chuckle.

🙂

Wow – excellent @arbutus – not heard of them but really enjoyed it! And @Tardisblue that’s a great track!

oooohhhh… this is spurring on so many ping-pongs…!

@purofilion – really jealous of your knowledge of how music works (have tried reading a simple kid’s ABC on music, watched wonderful programmes such as Howard Goodhall’s history of…[Read more]

ah @ScaryB – wonderful – xmas music!

Now that is one helluva track (never come across that one before!).

At chez Whisht (and assorted workplaces who are stoopid enough to allow me to put music on) this album always gets a spin. I genuinely love it.

@Phaseshift – its time for xmas, but its also time for…[Read more]
