And here's our second talk.

Bringing this thread back to life as I'll be adding to it soon.

1986, and the Daleks don't quite appear in a Giles cartoon

İf you've never seen the cover of a Doctor Who book before you might wonder if they always look like this. And perhaps they should.

Babes ur so right u don't need that kind of poison in ur life stay strong were all here 4 I Hun xxx♥️♥️

This 1988 Giles cartoon about Prince Andrew has aged like a fine wine

The Lost Gallows by John Dickson Carr - insanely gothic! After sightings of a car driven by a dead chauffeur, a hangman's ghost stalks the members of The Brimstone Club. Can they find the missing Ruination Street before midnight? #britishlibrarycrimeclassics

I really regret buying a Sad Daddy scrub thing. The regular Scrub Daddy looked too happy to be where he was, it felt like abuse. But the Sad Daddy has turned washing up, already a rubbish experience, into a poignant and slightly distressing one. Especially when air fryers are involved.

I’m the same age as this author; had a baby in my early 40s (which cost me one career)… and yet somehow it’s clear to me that my freedom is not something to be bartered with at the expense of the freedom of others? That none of us is free if one of us is unfree? That we’re all deeply interconnected?

I have just had occasion to buy four stamps. It's been a while but the shock was profound. Propose we change the test of politician's grasp on reality to 'how much is a book of four 1st class stamps?" they will never guess.

Still never understood why the photos from this block 9, 10 & 11 are so....fizzy. Nightmare uploading jpegs to the official site that didn't look like Channel 5 screenshots.

Victim of the most amazing drive-by yesterday. Took a friend to the physio. While working on her he said to me "You've lost some weight.... Mostly muscle tone in the arms."

They've rearranged Stansted M&S into such chaos that they've a guy whose job it is to explain the only drink in the meal deal is orange squash and whatever you've got is not a snack.

Schrödinger: It's an elegant thought experiment because until you open the box there is no way of knowing-- Box: Meow. Schrödinger: Fuck.

İt's only a matter of time before Ajet get busted for abusing the magic door at Sabiha Gökçen to run flights with 1hr connections.

Builder has worked out what's causing the leak from the Hotel Of My Enemy into my caves and will be going in with a repair crew as he doesn't trust the hotel to fix it properly. İt'll cost me money but, "if you pay for the whistle, you get to play it".

This is a hell of a thing to read.

Home looks at its prettiest from the transfer bus leaving it....

Rummaging around in my archives, here's one of those brill bits that (ironically) risks being lost to time - But here it is, Craig Ferguson's Doctor Who cold open, with a timeless summation of the show and its importance (you'll catch it when you hear it)...

Asian Star Radio's Breakfast Guy has linked Madeline McCann to the missing Malaysian Airlines flight and i'm hanging off every word.

She is my all.

Stopped off in the middle of nowhere for soup and next to the car park are the most beautiful Roman Baths

Tickets still available to see the star of #DoctorWho The Reality War @themindrobber.bsky.social discuss The Dalek İnvasion Of Earth at @riversidelondon.bsky.social on June 14th. Gavin will be doing photos (£50 eyecontact, £100 smiling) riversidestudios.co.uk/see-and-do/d...

Hotel Cat is SO pregnant.

Cafe had the best cat. Lost 3 games of backgammon (not to the cat)

Still time to send in a talk to #DoctorWho #TargetBookClub as I've not checked my emails yet. Without YOUR talk we may end early. Or watch The Krotons.

Stunning restoration of Tokat's Gök Medrese. They proudly show off the work of local textile workers on the gates

İt's Kurban Bayram next week and just as you can buy your Xmas Tree off the back of a truck, here you can buy your goat.

There are historic things under the floor of my hotel room and they light up

Cat Lady (not me) feeding street cats outside an old caravanserai
