Lovin all the interail stories and travellers tales. Used to hitchhike a bit, great way to travel sometimes. Tho  2 days on the same corner in the middle of nowhere in Spain not so good. Fortunately no Absorbalovs. Would’ve settled for a lift with K9.  Then there was the time we got dropped off i…[Read more]

@FatManInABox Also a great story 🙂 (and yours @Whisht)

The narrow escapes and egregious escapades of The Doctor Who Forum seems like a blog all of its own.

Ugh – every now and then I get a flash-back to the Absorbalov episode.

@ScaryB

I had never even heard of Grace Jones before this, I personally prefer rock 🙂 Of course, it’s good to broaden one’s horizon! That cover of La Vie en Rose is actually quite good, though I still prefer Édith Piaf’s original 🙂

@Whisht

It’s good if you like it, however, I get entirely confused when listening to either Bells 2 or that…[Read more]

@Whisht @Elouise  @Timeloop

Sorry, but if you want the real hot, slimy sticky experience of leatherette there’s only 1 person to go to! (sorry, it cuts off a bit short)

(Live version.. oh my, I think I need to go and lie down for a bit now 😉 )

@Whisht @Elouise Lets just continue the ring tone discussion here, might be a bit confusing on the Day of the Doctor.

I usually stick to normal ring tones as well. Too embarrassing to be caught with something everybody knows in public. However I have been toying with the idea to switch to this…[Read more]

@Whisht

I don’t know why, but I am of the opinion that he should definitely get an elephant. And bring it on the Tardis. He should have an elephant stable!

@Bluesqueakpip

According to this site it was 35! But what are the odds that he would bring 35 elephants into his Tardis?

@Whisht Yeah, the program is still learning from the mods. The more mistakes you make the faster it learns ;D

@Craig Thanks for clearing my post.

Oh @Whisht had it only been that… 😛

Maybe it did have something to do with it though, maybe I have finally gone mad!

I mean, how awesome would it be with an elephant in the Tardis, or a giraffe…

@Whisht

Bells 2 is horrible…

And about me being a rare thing, trust me, I’ve heard it before, mixed with crazy, mad and evil 😉

@Whisht I actually listened through the whole thing, in the frail belief that something else would happen…Never have I been so wrong…

Still, I like the Warm Leatherette more than the thing with the bells, if I used the one with the bells as ringtone I would probably walk around all day hoping that no one would call me 😛

For a ringtone I use…[Read more]

if I wrote tLoH I’d have everyone wondering which episode I was referring to… which I may do in the future as I’m a tad mischievious!

@Whisht – oh, please don’t. It takes me bloomin’ ages to decipher the initials when they refer to genuine episodes. Stick in a LeGuin novel, and I could be staring at the screen all night! 😈

@ScaryB – I w…[Read more]

@whisht What a spot on the TARDIS symbol on the Doctor’s Quantum Mechanics book.  You get the Eagle-Eyes award!

🙂

:::waves excitedly at all the new avatars, lurkers-no-more and bonkers-theorists:::

@Arbutus, wow.  I agree with @purofilion.  A splendid first post.  Please don’t wait a year until your next one!

@TheMasterOfAllHeSurveys, you’re a Third Doctor fan?  Or a UNIT fan?  Or just a fan of the working class?  (If I can gently kid you with the last…[Read more]

@Whisht

I have had The Lathe of Heaven in mind, too, while thinking through all of the timeline issues. I almost referenced it in an earlier post, but I couldn’t come up with a logical explanation for why the Time War reminded me of it so strongly. But it definitely does! I think it must be that Le Guin portrays very effectively a sense of mental…[Read more]

@whisht and @Rob – my take on The Curator was very simple: he’s a Doctor from the future. He’s retired, he’s taken a face that’s well known to UNIT, and he’s settled down peacefully with Liz I’s job; curator of the Undergallery. It was quite possibly him who told UNIT to look for the TARDIS.

Since Gallifrey’s been found by his time, he can afford…[Read more]

@Whisht

My simple take on the curator was that (apart from being Tom Baker Squeeeeeeeeee) it was showing us that the Doctor had in fact taken faces from his past/future.

The Curator can be seen just as someone who has had an impact on the Doctors life so their visage was used in regeneration.

Alternatively the Curator maybe where the essence of…[Read more]

@Whisht thankjs for posting the Hugh Masakela link, that was great – like the pic as well.

I just found this on YouTube (thanks for sending me there) – the women have their say too – Nina Simone and Miriam Mama Africa Makeba. If this doesn’t give you chills, nothing will! A sad day, but a day for celebrating a life as…[Read more]

@Whisht

::facepalm::

Brilliant remembering. I think I must’ve had some of what Matt’s had – forgot one  of my favourite films!  (Did you see my much earlier post btw, about a particular scene in Speilberg’s TinTin (co-scripted by one S Moffat) where Capt Haddock thinks he is a prisoner in a cabin, trying to think of ways to escape – only to f…[Read more]

@Whisht

I am now a blubbering (smiling) heap – thank you for posting BoTW 🙂 😥 😀

(First single I ever bought, saved up my pocket money – fortunately it was on the charts for months, so I had time, haha; it still gets me)

*hugs*

@Whisht that’s an interesting theory your brother has. At the moment the only film I feel like watching is Superman (1978).
