It's nearly the weekend!
I'm going to New york tomorrow until Tuesday, then next weekend I'm going to Readings real ale and cider festival.

What are you doing for the next two weekends?

makes no difference. What's working in your favour is it is not high summer yet so the rain and gales may teach them midges a lesson..

Yes. I like tall. As you might have noticed.
Does anyone know how tall she actually is? This sort of thing is important to me, in a slightly fetishistic way. Matt Smith might be a midget for all we know.

I still think she had to be hot because his face looks like it's made of plasticene. But agreed, he is awesome in the role
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 21 Apr 2010, 12:54, Reply)

Matt Smith is pretty tall as well, apparently.
This was allegedly one of the reasons for scaling up the new Daleks, so they didn't look freakishly short when next to Matt and Karen.

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 21 Apr 2010, 12:55, Reply)

No, the 9th doctor was a lot better
And I don't like a companion cleverer than the doctor. Twice he's tried something in a desperate final moment and twice he failed. Right, that's not to bad. Bad is that twice she tried and twice she did it right.

When did the doctor lose his connection with all the other species so to need a teenager to tell him right?

And those spitfires fighting the Daleks ship. FFS.

OK, OK, I know it's scifi, but when it's all fi and not sci I get very crossed. One thing is that The Doctor does fabulous things with his screwdriver and other is that just normal humans use normal planes to go to space.
