he he – yes, I’ll admit it, I was obsessed about those tyres!

They just must be important!

Though having said that, I was also sure that Clara Oswin Oswald was an anagram…. (I’ll never see those hours again…)

@craig – yep, though having English as a second language doesn’t mean that its usual to write either aggressively or in single blocks of writing. (I can’t imagine my couple of friends from there doing that).

and being thin skinned when ‘giving out’ is a sign of a bully in whatever culture.

And don’t get me started on bullies.

y’know, I’m really…[Read more]

and also Shazzbot I know you know this already (damn, rereading and realising I hadn’t written properly and edits gone so I can’t edit original post).

Its more – you’re right, and yes, people are that lazy and dumb!

—EDIT —

ah – you replied already!

doh!

blimey – that was longer than intended – apologies!!

@shazzbot – shh, next you’ll be saying that the website has no clothes…

🙂

actually, the whole online advertising model is (currently) based around the physical newspaper/ magazine/ billboard model.

Which itself is based on intuition – which is “if more people who we think could be our customers see it, then more of the people who may be our…[Read more]

@wolfweed – is that a spoiler or is that a Zygon?

or is that the Valeyard???

he he – I’ve just had a wonderful image for the 22nd. (indulge me).

I can imagine a number of people here in The Dean all chatting and swapping stories, but a few score outside ‘lurking’ and listening through the open windows.

Every few minutes some of the people inside will be imploring the people outside through the open doors and…[Read more]

indeed @fatmaninabox – you’re quite right.

and @shazzbot – lo lo lo lo lol!!!
that truly made me laugh (which I needed) and I’m now going to spam it to ten thousand of my closest friends (as they say).

thank you!

(oh and @Jimthefish – in case it sounded wrong, I was actually congratulating your choice. The Fall are always the right choice!)

hey @Mini-HTPBDETs – no need to apologise (whatever for??).

I only mentioned it as it gave me a thrill when he said he liked it – its a measure of the respect I have for him that I’d be thrilled!

Glad you’re taking a break with your family.
take care and if you decide to keep posting, we’ll be very happy.

and @Jimthefish – that’s the second time we’ve had that ditty by the Fall!

Also, I was lucky enough to have John Foxx as a tutor on my degree course (Illustration).

nice guy. No lurid tales (i don’t have any) but non-lurid thoughts for the pub methinks (maybe The Felton, should he happen to be reading this in the most bizarre of coincidences!).

he he – I’ve got this on 45 believe it or not (ok ok my elder brother’s probably!)

and there was me thinking you were talking about this equally scary choon

Hi @Mini-HTPBDET(s) – its really great hearing from you. You have a great way with words
(far better than I!).
I once discussed the track of tears with your uncle (he was right of course!) but I was proud when he said that he liked a small idea I had, saying that (possibly) the HurtDr would be marched into the track by the Doctor. It’s a measure…[Read more]

Hi @Craig – I think I may have been treated as spam.

Now, it could also be a new quality control feature, or it could have been at my end (user error, BT broadband etc etc).

Really hate asking for you to do this but I tried to leave a post on The Day of the Doctor thread in response to mini-HTBDET(s) here.

Apologies if its my error – if so I’ll…[Read more]

@HTPBDET, my thoughts and condolences are for you and your family.

Your writing here showed the enormous tenderness and love you have for your family. That love doesn’t die.
Their love for you is shown in how they reached out to friends of yours they (and you) would never meet; it was shown in changing wedding plans so you could all be together.…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave – bravo and couldn’t agree more.

How do I thumbs up?

;¬)

I love how this forum has developed organically, spurred by requests, trials and loving attention from @Craig who (let us not forget) has a day job and other things in his life, as well as the moderators’ efforts.

Personally the addition of the “All activity” bar has…[Read more]

Sorry – been kinda preoccupied with a few things (but have been keeping up honest!).

Just thought I’d post a bit of the ol’ music.

The lyrics are hard to discern, but kind of appropriate, so I thought I’d add for all you lyric types (ok, @Shazzbot).
hope you enjoy!

As logic stands you couldn’t…[Read more]

Hey @Craig – loving the new styling!

its really interesting to me the way the interface has developed over the last couple of days in terms of “honing it” (ignoring the many hours it took you getting it to this point!).

You’re right that on a mobile the font works very well, but weirdly on a laptop it felt a bit ‘wide’/ airy/…[Read more]
