Fully backed up by her boyfriend. Don’t hear that nearly enough.

Some men have such a deep lack of awareness as to what beauty really is. My wife is beautiful. I don’t care if anyone else agrees. They don’t know her like I do.

Mini Battenbergs and Eccleston/Piper! Luxury!

When I was at school, in the 80s, boys would pinch the bra fastenings from behind to undo the bra. β€œJust a bit of fun, the girls don’t mind”, except they did, and were told they just had no sense of humour.

Season 18 is unremittingly dull throughout.

Agreed. Very much my least liked.

I’m not sure he should fold either of those.

Ah - don’t think that got to us in the UK.

What did happen to us was Cain’s show became big in the UK.

When you’re maybe the ninth (or even tenth or lower, depending on who we count) best actor), you probably shouldn’t be out there telling everyone how bad you’ve become over time.

Who’s the third? Been racking my brains but drawn a blank.

I can think of a couple more who fit the category as well.

Hell - I’ll take the god complex Cavill version over Cain’s.

I don’t know… the one who likes wearing black-face seems like a good catch.

#Colbert may be ending, but fear not. It will be replaced by Young Stephen - a show about a young boy destined, one day, to be a Nobel Prize winning late night talk show host. It will run for ten years before an inexplicable cancellation, despite being the number one show in its slot.

Are you blind? Those things are CURRENTLY happening. Not predictions. And the world sees it, and wonders how you did this to yourselves, with a mix of humour and pity. You might also want to think about why tourism is so down this year.

At 5’11.6”, he’s essentially six feet tall. So it’s definitely not his height.

I’ve got three, but have absolutely forgotten how I got them.

Doctor Who is about a guy who just wants to explore the universe.

Stopping bad guys, joining revolutions, bringing down criminal regimes, and fighting for a better world is just what he does before his morning tea.

Cheating is the unforgivable sin in a relationship. My marriage is rock solid, but if it hadn’t been, I’d have out of the door so fast there would have been scorch marks.

Not blaming those who don’t. Lot of stuff to deal with, pressure to forgive, lack of anywhere to go. Sadly.

That’s just not how Christian love is supposed to work. He just uses it as a cover for being a dick.

I know an undertaker (exciting life, I know) and told me that relatives are starting to arrange for mobile phones to be put into caskets - just in case. Utterly pointless of course.

He’s a good friend of the Murdochs, openly defending Rupert and his children, so his nice guy image has always somewhat shallow.

Although I’m of the right age, I wasn’t in the UK during the 1970s, so I avoided the horrors many of you were facing on TV. This must have given kids nightmares.

Played the Conrad Clark of his day, and did so very well.

21st Century Doctor Who Toxic Fandom in a nutshell.

First RTD Era: β€œBoo, let Moffat take over!”

Moffat Era: β€œBoo, get someone else in!”

Chibnall Era: β€œBoo, no, not him! Yay RTD is coming back!”

Second RTD Era: β€œBoo, is Moffat available?”

29.05.2025 02:43 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I would certainly argue that its ratio of hits to misses (more the former than the latter) was about the same as Moffat’s and both RTD eras. I find the hate from some quarters to be baffling.

Does this have a connection with the TV series, or does it ignore that?

NTA. It can be harder as an autistic person to say the right things, but our significant others deserve the effort to be put in. And being autistic isn’t a get out clause. He’s just a dick.

Small niggle, but most autistic people (obviously not all, but poll after poll suggests most) prefer identity first description: autistic person rather than person with/person who has autism. The latter suggests it’s like an illness, or that it’s something that can be put down.

I’m 54. I have no idea where my cheque book is, and I don’t believe I’m written a cheque this century. I understand that the US still uses cheques (or checks) a fair bit, but on financial matters they’ve always been a bit behind us in the UK.
