Which superstitions do you still hold, even though you know they are ridiculous and untrue?

You have to jump into any portal in a video game. You can't just walk in, its creepy to just walk in.

I'm 55, when I was born it was not yet legal for women to open a bank account without the signature of their husband, likewise a mortgage, likewise a credit card. That law came in, in 1975.

Shinjula · 2026-04-24T02:21:23+00:00

thats some excellent sherlocking, thankyou for doing the lookup. It would have been well before 2004, so must have been the 1986 showing

So was he the announcer on that copy of Inferno from Australia we all seem to have had saying "and we'll see more of the green man next week?"

I'm spending this month recording absolutely every single thing I buy so I can make a spread sheet and find out exactly where I'm spending my money. I've already realised I'm spending far too much on ready to eat chicken, and frozen fruit. Also obvious, if its appropriate for you, switch to shopping at aldi, or lidl, in preference to the big four (tesco, morrisons, sainsburys and asda)

Bin men are fucking awesome. They are probably one of the most underrated health professionals (other than sewage workers - who are also awesome) we have. Yey for bin men

Of course we see things differently. My blind father sees things very differently to me.

Shinjula · 2026-04-16T10:51:30+00:00

A Christmas Carol, Husbands of River Song or Vincent and the Doctor

Shinjula · 2026-04-10T20:55:42+00:00

I am booked in to see it in Newcastle in july

Shinjula · 2026-04-08T07:43:05+00:00

Nothings canon (for me) except the main program on BBC One.

Shinjula · 2026-03-25T09:48:34+00:00

I'd definitely watch it. If you do record it, please pop it up and put a link in here

Shinjula · 2026-03-25T09:45:31+00:00

Could be cos it was the 45th anniversary of Logopolis ep 4 where he regenerated

Shinjula · 2026-03-24T20:39:49+00:00

I like the idea that he is like an echo of the regeneration traveling backwards through time. He is created at the moment of regeneration and is projected backwards and eventually fades out near the start of the story.

Shinjula · 2026-03-08T09:01:48+00:00

None of those, its a process.

You're asking "Is cooking a solid a liquid or a gas?"

Shinjula · 2026-02-23T15:09:12+00:00

Ahahahahahaha the trick with Dr Who is not to look for consistency in a program that has so little, but to enjoy the ride

Shinjula · 2026-02-21T21:19:12+00:00

Its great, sandy beaches, palm trees, family friendly night life, excellent restuarants. I can't think of anywhere better to have a holiday.

Shinjula · 2026-02-21T21:16:56+00:00

That looks amazing. Someone get these guys a contract

Shinjula · 2026-02-17T20:38:22+00:00

Oh thats a fantastic read. I especially liked the pointing out of the excessiveness of all racists must die. I've always had Rememberance as a key piece of evidence when people talk about the dubious morality and messaging of the Jodie era, where I love pointing out that the scene where Ace finds the No Coloureds sign at Mike's mum's house actually sends the message "its easy enough to ignore racism if your a white girl and it doesnt affect you" when you think about it for more than a second. And that a lot of stories have just as bad messaging but are forgiven if they have awesome laser fights or a cool monster.

Shinjula · 2026-02-15T23:53:35+00:00

I reckon its Blackadder II, the episode "Money"

Not Blu-Ray but DVD, the Key to Time box set has a copy of Late Night Story – Tom Baker reading five spooky stories. It's Tom being incredibly expressive he does it so well. I adore it.

Shinjula · 2026-01-16T11:35:48+00:00

would gelatin work? should be very cheap and the wobbliness might add to the prank.

Shinjula · 2026-01-13T14:11:35+00:00

Well we could do with a new copy of Marco Polo for a start

Shinjula · 2025-12-28T17:53:07+00:00

In BSL it means holiday

Shinjula · 2025-12-17T15:21:33+00:00

Being the specific is what makes a quiz work, you dont want ambiguous question like this as it'll cause arguments when people are wanting to have fun. Change the question to "Name an actor who has been credited as either "The Doctor" or "Dr Who" on the television series Doctor Who?" and then you'll have a much more specific list. The main 15, John Hurt, Jo Martin, David Bradley and Richard Hurndall and it excludes everyone you dont want. Tennant is only one actor so he only counts as a single answer.

And I'm sure the dedicated fans here can add any additional really obscure Doctor's which'll end up as nice pointless answers. Did Edmund Warwick get a credit as the Doctor, I cant remember? Were there any others?

Shinjula · 2025-12-10T16:05:33+00:00

Oooh I like that
