Happy belated birthday John. I hope it was a good one.

End of 3 appears to be the first written with next series in mind. Fly has divided our household AND my office (karen & Jodi don't like it, I do)

I thought Fly was brilliant! Not many shows are confident enough to have a pure character piece with barely any plot.

Amy and I are currently at the halfway point of season 5, can't quite bring ourselves to finish with this series yet.

Like Lou I'm not jumping in to either one of the next gen consoles yet but will eventually. Money is tight and I don't think I have turned the Xbox 360 on for anything other than BBC iPlayer in over a month.

The Night of the Doctor

Well that was a very pleasant surprise. Really enjoyed this mini episode and has made me even more excited for The Day of the Doctor (if that was possible).

Given limited time and funds I'm weighing up whether I should be buying Saint's Row 4 or GTA5.

I know that Amy would prefer Saint's Row 4, but I might buy her Rayman Legends because she'll love that too.

So I made a little something with my wife just over 12 weeks ago.

I'm in. I'll have to give some thought to what I'm going to photograph.

That's awesome! I would never have believed it had I not seen the images for myself.

The scene isn't out of character for the story, but it is still a big shock when it happens.

My wife was upset by the scene and she knew it was coming because unlike me she has read the books. You get invested in the characters in great stories and if you empathize with them and what they are going through I think it is an emotional blow when horrific things happen to them.

I'm not sure you need to be logged in to vote, but I'm not a 100% on that.

I just logged out, cleared my browser history and tried the link and it takes me to our specific entry and scroll down and the vote button is below the photo on the right and it let me click it. I don't know if it registered or maybe because I voted before it won't.

Thanks guys, it is still early days but it's not looking good for us voting wise.

Can't quite manage to post a link for some reason, but Bleeding Cool seem to think that the BBC will announce tonight Matt Smith's departure from the show. New Doctor takes over next August, with a full series run (rather than 2 halves) taking us up to the 2014 Christmas special.

Doctor Who plot generator

The TARDIS loses power and strands the Doctor and Clara on a boulevard in Paris, and the Doctor is worried. Isolated from the Doctor, Clara goes on to uncover the secret of the last Cybermen. The Daleks appear, but end up caught in their own time rift. Will.i.am kisses Clara.

I wasn't blown away by the Xbox One reveal but I'm feeling pretty positive about it and will get it on release.

I'm pretty much using my 360 as my entertainment hub already, I used to watch DVDs on it until I finally got a Bluray player about 6 months ago and still watch BBC iPlayer and 4OD on it. I have no complaints in that regard and I'm sure given that the Xbox One is designed with that in mind from the start it will be better at these kind of things.

I don't give a fuck about the partnership with the NFL, they never even explained what the fuck that entailed anyway.

I'm waiting for E3 for the proper info about games on the new system.

As you seem to have cast all the major roles I'm thinking Riki Lindhome (or Kate Micucci I'm easy on either) as Figwit.

Based on Garfunkel and Oates being a queer-bended version of Flight of the Conchords.

Flavoured whiskey! My grandfather would be turning in his grave.

For his birthday last year I bought my dad a bottle of Green Spot

Damn good drop even if I do say so myself.

She's a natural.

And Pooka as one of those people that has actually met me you can attest to the fact that I'm not that ruggedly handsome in real life, but thanks Red, Lou, Atticus and Avaunt for saying otherwise.

Thank you Lou.

You guys are too good at this, I especially like Mark's idea of race-bending for the Gondorians.

My wife takes great photos of me.

Apologies to those people that follow me on Twitter or are friends on Facebook as you may have heard this news already.

Amy and I have made the shortlist for the National Trust's Special Places competition for this photo that Amy took. Please click the link and vote for us to win a professional photoshoot and holiday in a National Trust cottage.

Lou, is your b-day close to mine, or am I just confused because our ages are the same?

 

 

Nope. I am in May

Pretty sure it's me you're thinking of Christian as mine is early March.

I was first introduced to Hellblazer late 1993 or early 1994 by a university friend who loaned me his copy of Original Sins and I loved it, he then gave me a few more Delano issues to read until I got to the point where I just needed to start buying it for myself.

Well that's the argument against pardoning him. It won't do Alan Turing any good as he is dead, and his legacy has already been ensured he is widely recognised as a British hero and genius.

It would be about making us feel better and making a statement that our society has moved on and having treated him abysmally in the past he would not have been nowadays. But although homosexuality is no longer illegal our society cannot be considered post-homophobic yet and I feel an act such as a pardon would be an empty gesture that would be spun to appear as something more significant.

It is a shame about Homeland as I thought the first season was really excellent drama and the second season started strong in my opinion.

The premise was never going to sustain many seasons but it looks like it couldn't even sustain a season and a half.

Halfway through The Hobbit at the moment. Don't think I've read it in 10-15 years, but I read it loads as a kid.

Prior to that I've read all four of Terry Pratchett's (young adult?) novels about the witch Tiffany Aching. Loved them!

The Discworld books have seemed stale to me lately but these were a breath of fresh air and I even got my wife reading them even though she's not a fan of the Discworld books generally.
