hey – thanks @scaryb, its rather nice to know my monster raised a smile! or frown…

and I’ve been remiss with the music (so many others doing the good work over there!).

btw another ‘outdoor’ pub in Southwark (ie near London Bridge and therefore Jubilee line) is The George Inn. On Fridays its packed (as are all the pubs in that area with after…[Read more]

And its not just theories this place has had – its been an education!
I’ve learned more about writing and production here than anywhere else – who can forget Chekhov’s Duck??!?

I read (and wept) at the entwined memories of @HTPBDET

and I had a whale of a time with @Rob making up monsters!

so, theories are great, and why we’re here, but not the…[Read more]

btw – in terms of theories I’ve enjoyed… I didn’t want to mention posters by name, as I’d forget someone and that would be dumb.

However, perhaps its good to remember some of those who don’t seem to be around anymore, in case a mention gets an email to them that they open and want to take part.

So here’s to @MTGradwell @Bruin @CraigNixon @penny…[Read more]

yeah @shazzbot, that’d be about right. The unholstered guns dogs are still there, but over the last couple of years there’s been a real change.
Still, completely get what you mean (I don’t have a dog so don’t encounter the aggro, but can see how it is/was there).

@Shazzbot – yeah, you had me at “pub”…

😉

Fair enough about London Fields feeling a bit scary at night, but when were you there on a Sunday afternoon?

Usually that’s a hipster zone (spreading up from Brick Lane, through Caledonia Market up Broadway Market to the park). Nowadays the worst you get is a withering look from someone dressed from…[Read more]

he he – two minds and all that Craig… (in terms of keeping it in one place as well as pubs!)

will post the rest of this reply over there….

agree with @Craig – The Anchor is a bit touristy/ after-work drinks meet-up place.
Could be a bit nippy in November by the river, but is central.

I actually suggested a different place due to a East London mention on another thread, so maybe we need a dedicated 50th pub-thread!

There’s nothing like dedication to pubs!

🙂

[edit – Craig already…[Read more]

blimey @Thommck – that raised a smile as it reminds me of my old work!
cheers!

East London dog friendly pub…? well, there are a few park-pubs perhaps (eg Pub on The Park in London Fields)…

nice clip @Bluesqueakpip …

Just curious, but if you found that after a quick google for “waiting”, its interesting that your muppet video had Tom Hiddlestone and mine had…. another muppet.

though probably reflects worse on my google history, rather than any “good looking young man” google history on your part…

😉

sorry @shazzbot – I’ve been neglecting the threads….

The Beat’s great, so thanks for that.

I don’t have anything that is even vaguely suitable, Who-related, waiting-related (except on the 50th)…. unless a tenuous link to people being told “don’t share the comic-con trailer”.

Don’t…. don’t… don’t…

@blenkinsopthebrave – brilliant! fantastic video!

So, spurred on by @Shazzbot I thought I’d share some strategies for waiting.

Over on the Music thread I’ll try and share something suitable as well…. well, suitable in context of working too hard and needing a laugh recently…..

Hi @Craig – nor me.

I’m guessing it’s not used by any other system (eg wordpress or google) to infer any ranking or importance in indexing or searching..?

And even if it were, are we really that bothered with being even more ‘findable’?

ah, @bluesqueakpip – if bonkers theories were limited by constraints like “but how could they shrink?” then I think I wouldn’t bother with them…

😉

(and please never remind me of that DobbyDoctor again!)

{shudders}

um – have we had this bonkers theory yet?

HurtDoctor isn’t a regeneration – he is simply an aged SmithDoctor.

I mean, if he were in the Time Lock, repeating the same day, over and over, he might age a lot.

This would account for the same key chain, and he might be wearing a bow tie beneath that scarf….

No idea how this would be in the story,…[Read more]

Just thinking @bluesqueakpip and @thegeneral that the anniversary episode is called “The (Groundhog) Day of The Doctor”.

It really works as a way for time locks to work and for the story to be […]
