On a fantasy level that sounds awesome. In real life that question becomes a little stickier for me.

As in, does this metabolic "disorder" protect me from things like bed-sores, diabetes, and heart disease? If yes, then I'm all over it and I say sign me up yesterday. If no, then I'll pass.
i doubt you'd have to worry about bed sores being 2000-5000 pounds there would be a bed big enough


If you do not move you can still develop sores or worse, grafting to the fabric if you are not moved or do not move on your own enough...
what fabric? Ok maybe the worlds biggest quilt but in lou of that no bed no fabric and you could always lay on your stomach


lol what is your beds exterior if it's not fabric? The point is that if you do not move, baaad things can happen :-P
i was referring to what i said before about if someone was 2000-5000 pounds no bed in the world would hold them however i do see your point


Yeah, despite the name, 'beds' aren't really the cause of 'bedsores'...

This or that?

Lemonade. More versatile/mixable.

Fantasy or Sci-Fi?

To cook or to be cooked for?

To cook, definitely. There's something far more satisfying about eating something that you put together according to your tastes. And then, in addition, it's really nice to have someone else try it and like what you've made.

Doctor who 50th anniversary

But did you hear that they officially gave the Eighth Doctor a new costume, that gives him short cropped hair like McGann's own? He's got a fantastic new sonic screwdriver and everything. I mean, personally, I like his original costume much better, but still--McGann still looks insanely young and is in great shape, he could easily reprise the role and no one would even bat an eyelash! And it would be utterly beyond fantastic to see the 8th Doctor on screen again!!!


Yeah, I saw they'd done that for Dark Eyes (which is worth a listen overall, I'm looking forward to Dark Eyes 2 which I gather is in the pipeline). They took the opportunity to change his look after they finished with the 'New 8th Doctor Adventures' line. Being a longish naval leather jacket it sort of provides a costume bridge between McGann in the film and Ecclestone, which is pretty cool.

Funny I made a post on sci fi fans unite post about the 5 doctors and no one reply but some how on here someone mention get better reply. Anyway What I think if they done it right and showed past doctors it would be fanboy wet dream but if done right it would be pure awesomeness. I wouldn’t think age wouldn’t play big factor you could always do a thing like parallel universe were it show past doctors. However or you could think outside the box and make past doctors not doctors per say and make them different time lordsunited to fight the Daleks in time battle or something like that. But that just my five cent view.


If they could do it right I'd be cheering with the best of them, believe me, I'm just thinking it from the producers points of view.

Even when they just reference the older Doctors (like that bit near the end of The Eleventh Hour where they had shots of them all leading up to Matt Smith) it gives me fanboy joy. It'd also be fun to get Paul McGann back on the screen (especially as he's developed the character more in the Big Finish audios), though I think the amount he'd have to be paid to don that wig again might just bankrupt the BBC smiley

Man, I really hope they bring back some of the past Doctors. Like "The Five Doctors" for the new millennium! But I'm fearing that, with their newer, cooler, more stylish show, they would consider the past Doctors too quirky and old. Which is bull!


Well, given that a lot of the team seem to be fanboys at heart who love the old series (and Tennant and Smith both draw on past doctors for inspiration, I gather), I'm not sure the problem is that they'd be too quirky, but given that about 24 years have passed since Doctor Who's cancellation, age may be a problem. Big Finish can do it's brilliant thing because we hear the voice and let our minds do the rest, but it's a different story when you're asking actors who are in their 60s and 70s (Tom Baker isn't far off 80) to play the role they played as men in their 30s and 40s for the cameras without it looking too much like an exercise in fanboyism run amok. Which is probably why they've kept the only old/new meeting (Tennant & Davison) as a) a short story for the Children in Need special and b ) a meeting with the youngest 'old' doctor, who looks most like he did in the 1980s.

That said, they sortof got away with The Two Doctors, where Frazer Hines probably looked more out-of-place age wise than Troughton...

So yeah, nice idea, but I'm not sure it would work as anything beyond a (admittedly nice and welcome) token gesture.

Painful songs

I find if I'm having a crap time of it on the emotional/feeling isolated side of things that Tchaikovsky...well, he doesn't make it better, as such, but sometimes you don't want it to, just yet. There's this longing in his music (particularly the Serenade for Strings and the Violin Concerto) that makes you feel like you're being empathised with (and then I contemplate what an unhappy time he had of it, and empathise right back).

A few other things I love to bits despite (or, weirdly but more accurately, because of) the fact that they can really darken the mood:

Shostakovich symphonies, particularly the anger in so much of nos. 5,8 and 10.

A lot of the work of Gregor Samsa, particularly 'Young and Old'.

'Sad Professor' by REM.
