y’know, as I was walking home tonight through the rain (I hate rain) I had a bonkers thought.

In An Unearthly Child ep 2, Susan notices that the Tardis hasn’t changed its outward appearance and that this was unusual.

This was also the first time (presumably) that the Tardis had travelled with Humans in it (ie neither the Doctor nor Susan seemed…[Read more]

:$

erm…. yeah… erm…. it was me.

[embarrassed “ta”]

btw that Leela theory was just me making up something bonkers as an example for the gag… its just that as I was forming it, it seemed to make bonkers sense!

😳

[skim reading]:

“cricket”

“polish my box”

“make me one in mahogany, with blue velvet inside”

What in the name of all that is DECENT has happened over here???!!!???!

[sigh, shakes head]

ah @Purofilion – not heard of ‘scratched’ floors (deliberately I’m guessing), but may I just say I do love ‘Queenslanders’ (the house-types – this ain’t no…[Read more]

Y’know, it seems to me that the more and more we see the Doctor interfering with points in time (against ‘the rules’), changing the past and future, the more I think he’s actually ‘breaking’ points in Time.

At least at some point he figures it out, waves his screwdriver and we get these “Fixed” points in Time…

🙂

Ah – good question @MartyB!

Now, a few people have wondered if we ever need to run polls, and crowd-sourcing was so hip only a year or two ago (my thumb’s on the pulse of culture), so lets see if they’d be useful in this instance…

Pokies are:

a) People asking for charity donations
b) Slot machines
c) Pies of a questionable ‘meat’

Coffee in the morning (americano).
Tea during the day (several).
Beer in the evening*.

Luckily all of those are by the pint, which is fitting for the Rose methinks.

.

*actually sometimes that’s wine, and some other times vodka or gin.

But never by the pint. [ahem].

[now to see if that other post has unblocked itself… too many links it seems…]

Thanks MartyB – quite a few fans of Van here methinks (though there’s only a few of his I’ve liked).

and I know there’s a lot of Madness love – all the way back to the first page!

now to catch up some tree-hugging hippy music as I’m peckish and thinking of fish fingers and custard…

😉

I took it that ‘stasis’ was just like the pictures. Frozen, unaware. As far as you’re concerned, no time passes until someone ‘adds time’.

@Bluesqueakpip – That’s the best explanation of the explanation “Cuppa Soup” I’ve seen!
At the time I ignored it (much in the way that the Doctor suggested as it was a terrible analogy).

Also if you’re…[Read more]

btw – as @Phaseshift himself said (damn I can’t find the right post) ‘Moderator’ isn’t a position of seniority.

Its just one of us (yes all of us who come and read – yes you) putting their hand up and saying “yeah, I’ll put the extra effort in and help out”. And he has done a lot of that to help shape where we are.

but he’s just a normal bloke…[Read more]

here’s a nice ditty.

for just about anyone and everyone who erm, might consider it (or has left already).

not that I’ll be anyone’s ‘dog’ or actually that I think New Orleans is all that bad.

Hi @Purofilion – please don’t leave!

You’ve wandered into some old ground without knowing it – not your fault.

You’ve been the model of civility and sincerity and are a pleasure to read. You add to the community here and would be a true loss if you were to step back.

ok – so here’s a song for our Doctor.

The poor boy’s a long way from home.

Absolutely delicious music – hope you enjoy!

ooh and @Arbutus (how could I forget you!?)

I’ve loved your conversation here (with @MartyB, @Purofilion and @Timeloop and anyone else I’ve forgotten!).

It is great how the show is deliberately set up to be able to cater for any type of genre and storyline (horror, comedy, drama, adventure etc). It’d be an impossibility to allow for that many…[Read more]

@thommck – Spoilers!!

😉

@Wolfweed – maybe ‘twould make an interesting Caption Comp…?

Hi @MartyB, @Purofilion and @Timeloop,

I’m really enjoying the conversation and something that Marty said:

You are absolutely correct to say that being concise is so much more difficult.

reminded me of this famous aphorism – “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter note”

Quite a number of attributions to who said it first, but I…[Read more]

my god @Juniperfish – you had an Absorbalov escapade while inter-railing??!?

That must’ve been traumatic.

:¬o

entirely wrong for this time of night, but would hate for anyone to think that Springheel Jack just did ‘horrible’ music like Bells 2.

they also did this:

Hope you weren’t heading off to bed!

😉

oh and thanks @ScaryB – yes that pic was something I did a long long time ago in another life.…[Read more]

On the Comments thread there were some Inter railing memories…. best over here methinks!

At one point on our trip in the very late 80’s I remember me and my mate going from Rome to Amsterdam via Hamburg.

We were in a nightclub in Hamburg in order to get to an early 4am train to Amsterdam. Well, what’s the point of paying even the pittance for…[Read more]

ah – inter-railing…

reminiscences over in the pub methinks…..
