Pick ONE story for each Doctor

1. Can we count An Unearthly Child as a story in its own right without the caveman nonsense? If not then Dalek Invasion of Earth.

2. Tomb of the Cybermen

3. Inferno

4. City of Death

5. Caves of Androzani

6. Millennial Rites *

7. So Vile A Sin * (probably my most surprising choice on the list, there are half a dozen NAs rated as classics that usually get placed above this one)

8. Alien Bodies *

9. Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways

10. The Girl in the Fireplace

* Well, it never said the story had to be on the telly…

Whoever is cooking bacon, and allowing the aroma to waft in through my windows. Please stop. It’s driving me crazy.

Seeing as the installation of WP at Dreamhost.com came with 50 themes pre-installed, and as I need to hack a few WP files to make my theme work, I thought why not play around with the themes for a bit. So don’t expect anything to be the same place twice for the next few days.

I’m turning off comments whilst I move to a new host. See you soon.

Ahoy me hearties, pull up a seat, pour yerself a tot o’ rum and listen as yer captain tells ye what he has been about of late.

Last Thursday ’twas my birthday and me landlubbing brother sent me gifts (arrr, I know what ye be thinking, he not be wanting me to plunder his scurvy souled town, and I be thinking that ye ‘ave a point). He sent me the latest collection of shanties by a fine lusty lass and a tall tale of a comedian in the arms trade. I be liking both gifts, though I must confess the whole idea of selling arms perplexes me. Why sell them when ye can use them to plunder more booty instead?

Over the weekend, the ship needed some repairs - the mass of booty plundered was becoming too great and so with much ingenuity on the part of our swedish carpenters we now be having a fine set of bookshelves to be a berth to it all.

This week I pressgang’d me first mate into helping me plunder the vaults o’ London. Arrrrrr! I also be on the look out for a new hand and been holding interviews for a suitable seadog.

Avast, I must be to sea. Fair seas to ye all and see ye at the appointed hour next year. Harrrrrrr!

To the makers of Spooks: the Cabinet Secretary is a civil servant not a politician.

Other than that, and the unlikely concept of a Home Secretary being a defender of civil liberties, not a bad opener to season five. Totally ludicrous but very well done and good fun.

Just watched The Shield season five finale.

Wow.

A little while back some idiot left a stupid comment (now deleted as it keeps on bringing the idiots out from under their stones) on an old post, and you can see my response. Then a few days ago three more comments arrived right after each other, here they are:

All three came from the same IP address and gave the same e-mail address Both IP and e-mail were different than that of the original commenter, but the original did include the word ‘australia’ in his e-mail address, something that isn’t visible to other people on the site, so where did the Australia business come from in these follow up comments? I have an aussie stalker with a split personality. Or a group of dumb aussie school kids using my comments to play silly games with each other. Oh boy.

It’s one of those funny but not especially surprising things that fan activity for some well established shows is more creative when the show is off the air and loses momentum somewhat when new material is actually being produced.

Just as a new TV season starts in the US, the first second (bugger, things never sounds as good when the facts are right) without a new Star Trek series for nearly two decades, so two lang standing stalwarts (what I suppose we’d call BNFs in other circles) of treknical fandom produce new material. David Schmidt’s Strategic Design produces a new range of blueprints and Eric Kristiansen releases a new edition of Jackill’s Volume One.

Well, I’m excited even if you’re not.
