The David Tennant / Billie Piper / Darlik > / Cybermen thing was cool though. Maybe they want a cuddly, friendly Doctor.

  5. Cold snap coming. See you next year fruit flies. Now it's just that mouse.
  6. I like the new Dr He's bad tempered and rude. The storylines aren't really the point IMHO
  7. Tardis is alive and can change and grow - to reflect the Doctor - I thought :)
  8. Blairite versus Brownite wasn't it - mattered at the time :) Milliband needs to get some sexy socialism going (c.f. Alex Salmond) Note: actually the parody said Sexy Socialism - the real Salmond replied with Sexy SocialDemocracy !!!
  9. Mickelson should have just stripped of like those other two :) There will be a bit of a post mortem on the USA side I guess.
  10. to Donaldson "Has it sank in" "No, I'm still drunk"
  11. Cars have beeped me in the past for stopping at a red. I wonder sometimes if there are a group of people immune from prosecution who do as they want.
  12. Would think loads will. It's nice watching it live on TV - and an excuse to spend all day in the pub :) Help-Ma-Boab Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Not the same "watching" it on radio.

  13. Started now - Europeans wearing Scottish type jerseys today Good atmosphere
  14. The official site say 500 million edit: I note the word potential there :) The FIFA WC was 700 above ? http://www.rydercup.com/europe/news/standard-life-investments-named-first-ryder-cup-worldwide-partner
  15. Some people just don't see themselves as old and in need of help.

  18. Hell met another very angry person soon - it takes a lot of self control not to get angry in return. so well done the guys reporting this so far.
  19. Huw Edwards had a good referendum on BBC I thought
  20. Sky called it just after Kay Burley got flattened by Sturgeon and her minders. Sky got no interview from her that I saw.

  22. I've seen a few people helping carry in Peckham Rye - usually someone jumps in before i can offer. Its the queues to the gates at peak times which are now bad - sometimes there's only a single gate.. Obviously should be an extra gate for hipsters - a hip one - maybe on the "I Love Peckham" theme. :)
  23. But theres a picture of Dave next to a little girl and a Shetland Pony He also went down the pub with some of the locals apparently, Has he ever drunk with you ?

Makes > Lordship Lane seem like the west end. used to be halls in Chelsea, Clapham and Westminster (early 80s) Kings Road one was called Ingram Court - had a huge garden - would have been sold for a lot of money - was also a campus that was originally Chelsea College (Manresa Road) before being swallowed up and now closed.

Alistair Carmichael (MP for Northern isles) says Shetland may gain independence from Scotland - if they vote more than 60% No. There is a new well west of Shetland and the Guardian denies it :) http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/16/conspiracy-theories-scots-government-oilfield-shetland
