Ffs... the gross bigot march I mean, not your Taylor Swift appreciation!

What are they even protesting? We left the EU, that's literally all they wanted? Is it just attention they want?

I'll just summarise that I started a small electrical fire and a radiator fell on my head. And then started leaking.
I have sorted the leak (and the fire!). Just the head injury I've been ignoring all afternoon to sort now πŸ™ƒ

Wallpaper stripping must surely be on of the easiest DIY activities? Surely nothing can go that wrong? Definitely can't get injured yeah? Well you reckon without my supreme incompetence!!!

Today was supposed to be a nice day off getting the car MOT'd and stripping wallpaper. (OK the car MOT was always going to be expensive, got off reasonably lightly there)
But of course...

Thankyou! Stuff like this usually makes me more determined to find something even better... the 'I'll show them!' Approach!

Balls.
Had gone for a job, a step up to managerial. Was waiting for a response for ages, finally told there was a delay due to qualifications (I am working towards a needed rather than having it)
Further wait and still not been informed but my application status is marked 'unsuccessful'

(Now I'm waiting for the DaiMon Bok audio drama, 6 years bribing his way out of prison and we will get a whole new appreciation of his character and motivations!)

It was brilliant wasn't it??! Had me rewatching Space Seed recently and will have me rewatching Wrath of Khan soon with some new thoughts!
(OK, I was going to rewatch both those anyway!)

I have thoroughly loved Star Trek Khan. Having that to listen to each week has been awesome and the whole thing has been great and really well done.

I need to watch Gremlins 2 again...

And The Doctor getting smooched up by a lady Gremlin!

30.10.2025 11:00 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

By far the greatest sequel to Gremlins!

Yep, 'Powet Daddy' would have been better!

Is the episode "The Next Phase" a 'Hit' or a 'Miss'?

I can't think of anything that stood out making me go 'ooh look at that, the budget has been spent there!'

Doctor Who is best when it's made by people who obviously love making it whether they've got Β£1000000 or Β£2.75 to do it with

28.10.2025 16:55 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Back in 2005 we had an amazing series without big budget... Every space station was clearly the Cardiff Millennium Centre, every street was some place in Wales, we didn't care because it was awesome TV!

Maybe back when we had Torchwood and Sarah Jane on a 'Whoniverse' could have worked. But branding it before we even got a spin off on the screen? Looked a little desperate!

28.10.2025 16:50 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

It really was. It just tied their hands so much, we'd be looking at a new series next year, probably with Ncuti still if it wasn't. The additional budget wasn't worth the hassle.

Best of luck with it!
Obvs suggestion while you wait... Watch Star Trek! πŸ––

This may shock you, but I bloody love talking about Star Trek... And these guys were kind enough to let me do so on their podcast! If you also love me talking about Star Trek, you should get it right in your ears!!

Have you tried joining in? I just keep doing it and now my kids don't think it's funny or cool anymore!

We would all like a kitchen where the main feature is a slightly confused Captain Picard coming in and asking you to help save the world!
Also an air fryer

Fantastic! Plus you never have to worry about them falling down, because they're... Defying gravity!!

I bet Doctor Franklin could have sorted Garibaldi out in no time if he had a pregnant cat! #sentencesididnotexpecttosay

If I had a nickel for every time Admiral Kirk took command of the Enterprise and came back with the Captain Dead or Missing... I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it's happened twice!
