Teselecta: "Silence will fall when the question is asked."
Doctor: "And what is the question?"
Teselecta: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
Doctor: " *Brainfart* ".

It's currently 2:38am Scotland time.
I'm just about to watch a couple of Half Life: AG match demos.
I'll be (hopefully) sitting tuned into BBC1 at 7:15pm. I'll be recording, just in case.
"Captain, you almost make me believe in luck." -
9.30am on the South Coast, the Daughter is at her dad's, the boyfriend has been warned and threatened to within an inch of his life about phoning me between 7.15 and 8.15, Mother's still making up her mind whether to join me on the sofa or not, the wine is cooling.
I'm ready, bring it onComment

Coming up 1 o'clock, 6 hours to go! As for what Im doing, no idea, Im too excited to plan!
Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

Mother's off to church tonight so it's just me and The DoctorComment

I'm sorely tempted to dose my youngest with Calpol, Piriton, Ibuprofen and every other sleep-encouraging drug in the house. Anything to get him to settle down nicely before 7pm.

The Gruesomes are in UK with their dad, and apparently since they got there on Thursday they have been asking if they can watch Dr. Who today.
I'm alone, got the vid ready for my friend in a part of Germany which doesn't get BBC - the phone will be off the hook and I won't be answering the door.
Very excited here.In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

. If he were, I'd let him stay up and watch it anyway, with the show itself as the bribe. He's prefectly capable of having a tantrum at any time though, even when he's getting a treat. Whoever coined the phrase "terrible twos" couldn't count, possibly because they were so frazzled by the ghastly behaviour of their THREE-year-old.

I believe the term is "traumatic three's". This ep has a "Fear Factor" of 4 according to the BBC (as did "The Doctor Dances") So should be pretty awesome.

fantastic!
The Gruesomes called me right after it finished - they like the new Doctor, which is a relief.
Mads: didn't anyone tell you? Terrble twos go on until they turn into terrible teenagers...In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

Thanks, MC. Maybe I should just take the drugs myself
But... I managed to watch it and not one peep from youngest
Firstborn, on the other hand, who was staying up to watch it as a special treat, spent the time asking "which ones are the baddies?" "why isn't Rose's mummy going with her?" "what's that?" "who's he?" and all that jazz. Still, we all enjoyed it . David Tennant is lovely.

Edit - Is it me (Oh god I'm a TOG) or did DT's Scottish accent break through a couple of timesComment

Yup, I caught it too, never mind, perhaps its meant to do that, maybe this Doctor is part cockney part ScottishOriginally posted by Reefgirl Won't happen next time though Spoiler:Last edited by The Signal; 15 April 2006, 12:07 PM.Equality is not a concept.
