The dark side of Doctor Who?

November 21st, 2009 · No Comments · Life

I saw this on Monday on the Guardian’s twitter feed, totally misread it and then went to all the trouble of making a screen capture and forgot to do anything with it.  Here it is, better late than never…

Election disaster

June 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life, Politics

As the general election draws ever nearer, a new contender gains popularity.  He is young and charismatic and everybody seems to like him, although they don’t quite know why and don’t really know what he stands for.   After his landslide victory he says “this country has been sick. This country needs healing. This country needs [...]

Back pain

January 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Life

I see that David Tennant is now back on stage after having surgery for a slipped disc, but I am not at all surprised that he had back trouble after watching the Doctor Who Confidential programme that was on after the Christmas special.
In that programme we saw him being dragged along the floor of a [...]

Doctor Wu

October 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Life

Prince Charles having a small part in Doctor Who is an interesting idea.  But how much more fun to give him the main part when Tennant moves on…
DOCTOR:  So you’re a Dalek are you?  And what do you do?

September 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments · Life

British comedy has had a bad week with the death of Ken Campbell following very soon after that of Geoffrey Perkins.  If it was possible to measure such things objectively I think you would find the world is now several percentage points less funny than it was last week.

Can’t decide whether I was more surprised by the end of today’s Dr. Who or the start of Jay-Z’s set at Glastonbury, but I know which one gave me a bigger laugh.

RTD OBE

June 14th, 2008 · No Comments · Life

I don’t have a lot of time for the whole honours system, which is why I could never work out why anyone would even think of paying cash for one, but while we still have it why not throw one in the direction of Russel T Davies?  Makes a change from the usual roll-call of [...]

Daleks Invade Worthing

February 28th, 2008 · 7 Comments · Life

Now that’s what I call a decent headline for a local paper!  Unfortunately its a little over-stated: for a start the the use of a plural is unwarranted as there was only one Dalek.

Another new plugin

December 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Technology

This is supposed to make it easier to include YouTube clips, like this:
You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video
And it looks like it works OK.  In the past I have had real headaches with embedded video clips, having to temporarily disable the visual editor and then paste the code in [...]

Election fever

June 21st, 2007 · 1 Comment · Life

At election time I always get a little nostalgic for the days when it used to seem like every other house had a poster up in the window. In recent years it has been a major event to see just one poster during local election time.
So I am not sure if it is ironic, [...]
