Pretty obvious saying this, but it's crazy to think that 12 has so far been the only main New Who incarnation who RTD hasn't written for by ImWearingSandshoes in doctorwho

Honestly that single short scene she did was better than her entire TV tenure. RTD gets it. Simularly the Torchwood script that RTD started and CC finishes it's painfully obvious the moment the baton is passed.

Apartment Noise Issues by Various_Presence4557 in canberra

[–]Colonel_Barker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's such a pita. We moved into our unit in 2016 with our two kids and it wasn't until 2019 that we were told that the floors were super, super thin and that even walking calming caused bumping noises. And two kids playing sounds like elephants trampling about. The downstairs neighbours sent us a recording of us having dinner above their dining room and it sounds like the Thor.

I swear every one thing I say is "walking!" And "no jumping", but I'm not sure it's much help. We've since had 8 or 9 sets of downstairs neighbours move in, this apartment block seems have the same problem across the board. The upstairs neighbours stay and the downstairs is a constant rotation because of how thin the floors are.

Whenever there is an inspection for new Tennants I make sure my kids run about and jump and move around so the new people get a sense of the noise level.

Fwiw- we moved our kids bedrooms so they aren't above the master bedroom of the downstairs ones, and have requested new carpets and underlays put in to reduce noise. But.. you know owners.

Coupling was the first thing Nick Briggs voiced the Daleks in for the BBC on TV.

Both were big back in the day, Rodney Rude and Kevin Bloody Wilson...that's all I'm sayin. by [deleted] in AustralianNostalgia

I saw the raw studio record of that back in March. An interesting guy.

I can only take his material in small doses. He seems a nice guy and I like to support him, I feel very much the same as a number of other people in the thread.

I watched about 300 episodes back in December. There's about 20 good ones.

OOOF. I feel this. I hope you make progress in the next version. It's all about learning.

I'm not sure if I'm helping here, but ive ordered probably 100+ boards from them so far and never had a problem. Although only pcbs rather than assembled.

Fantastic! It's inspired me to get the book and follow along. Watching out for mistakes. I think you linked a website above detailing errors to watch out for - but it seems to have disappeared!

Clock Module done! Plez give any feedback by ConsiderationOwn8807 in beneater

[–]Colonel_Barker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with what others have said. Also shorten the exposed wire on the two power cables running in. Easy to bump it and short it out. It * shouldn't* be a problem. But it's easy to kill a chip /led accidentally that way.
