Doctor Who Cares?
 

POLL!
POLL please!

You heathen.

Well, there was only one good one.

Nurse Ishir Dont.

Medical Examiner (M.E.) Neither

Well, Classic's chances of getting laid by some Brit chick are close to zero :D .

Damn! I certainly thought this thread would be the final nail in that coffin.
What do I have to do, insult the queen?

Oh no you di'int! :lol:

Insulting the Queen would just make you more British :P

Well then I think she is totally awesome and I love Maggie T.

QUIT TALKING ABOUT DOCTOR WHO CARES.

Depnding on where in the UK you were to say that it might just get you killed :P

All hail Churchill!


How bout that then?

I thought this was going to be about some new charity. But of course, in true cellar fashion, I find someone bashing on something I hold dear. Admittedly, I'm not as thrilled by the more recent incarnations. I could be quite content watching Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker over and over and over. Oh, wait a moment ... that's what I've already done and happily continue. Well, except for the ones with Romana. I didn't like her very much.

(In response to Classic, written before I saw Wolf's post)

Hang on...!
We suffered through the Obama election with you people.
We stood shoulder to shoulder reading pointless posts about Obamanation and gun control and nationalised healthcare.

And this is how you repay us?!

Wounded.
Wounded is how I feel.

Well, that and the fact any mention of the Doctor might generate more viewing figures Statewise :)

what? This was a stupid clone thread thats currently out of control.
(probably Shaw's fault - I'm blaming everything on her now :p: )

Don't start that "you people" crap.

Yeahyeahyeah.
You people would say that. :eyebrow:

You can blame me. I egged. I was a'eggin'.

I would probably like Doctor Why (that was totally a typo, but I'm leaving it 'cause it's funny) but I just thought classic's clone was funny.

:)

Laugh it up, furball.

No real reason except I like that quote.

furball?

:lol:

Too funny.

OMG, don't tell me you haven't shaved your undercarriage and now think it was an unforgiveably personal comment from someone who has you under video surveillance?!

Oh, BTW, you sing great in the shower...

Now I know you're full of it: I NEVER sing in the shower. I might hum (well, I would if I weren't alone.) ;)

I am embarrassed to say that I have not seen a single episode of Dr. Who. I notice that a number of Dr. Who episodes available for instant play. Perhaps I will begin. Do I need to start with the 60s Dr. Who?

NO.

There is too much history to start with the early episodes. Also they were WOW at the time, but all you would notice as a newcomer is how cheesy the effects are. Start with Christopher Ecclestone or David Tennant.

Watch The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances.
Them's good, them is.
You might note a certain handsome British/ American in them too.

Biased, moi?

This is the doctor I used to watch way back when. . .

Sigh, fuzball

Sorry I've struggled through a couple of episodes of Tennants and and his characterization is just awful, makes ecclestone bearable by comaprison, the plots aren't bad ,though all the mooning over Rose is barf inducing.

in short Pertwee/Baker FTW

Pertwee is my least favourite of the Doctor's incarnations ...still love him, but not as much as the others :P

Really?
Damn.
Apologies to everyone. I HATE mis-quoting. Esp if it's a widespread one.
Meh. You and your wife are welcome to eachother, with your bad taste :P
I thought he was a good actor before I fancied him.
Errr. Welll.... Ahem.
He was playing Casanova for heaven's sake!

But any actor who can be cast as a young Peter O' Toole isn't a bad sort.

And mooning over Rose?! The "couple" of episodes you saw must have been timed really badly. What, no Freya? No Catherine Tate? No... dare I say it... JB?!

Baker was my Doctor. But even as a child I was aware he was slightly manic. I honestly can't see how the Ten could possibly be awful in comparison.

But hey - cool to turn a hating thread into a geek one ;)

This was never a 'hating thread" it was a joke from its inception.
As you were.

Chick, if I thought it was really a "hating" thread I would never have joked with you about it.

Yo Dude - go bake something. . . merkin style ;)

I got the cups and spoons... I might just do that!

DOOO ITTT

I was expecting, and admittedly a lil disappointed, a whole thread about your cooking with all this crazy merkin stuff.

Sorry babba.
It's just been that I've mostly been dieting since Christmas.
Oh, except when I was in Amsterdam... I've given photo evidence of that so I can hardly deny...

I'll tell you something though. The 'rents are hooked on Merkin pancakes. Mum has now bought her SECOND bottle of real Maple Syrup (from M&S - they do things properly). And making them without Merkin measurers (is that even a word?) wouldn't be possible.

Oh - we're still using J&J's packet pancake mixes. Yes, we're getting short on them now, but that's not a hint - we're also getting fat!

No sweat. - I was just guessing anyway.

FWIW - How much is the REAL maple syrup there?

I paid a little over £4 for a bottle last week.

£6 is the cheapest I've seen here.

thats what like $8? That seems cheap to me.

Current exchange rate puts £6 at $9.30. It depends on how big the bottle is, of course, but they run from $11 to $15 in my grocery store.

330 gram bottle.

Well, if you'll settle for "MAPLE flavoured SYRUP" it comes fairly cheap, and it's "made with 10% PURE MAPLE SYRUP and 90% sugar.

Not a chance in hell of me eating that crap.

When I was a kid we always bought log cabin syrup - it's what we could afford. I remember it said on the bottle "made with 2% real maple syrup". Now it doesn't even say that.

WOW!


Get 'im, Sundae!

When we first moved here, many were relocated with us. Five young single males rented a huse together -we called it "Ladsville". The first thing they did was to place a bottle of Log Cabin Maple syrup on the toilet cystern,

For a brit, you might at well call it TurdHouse Syrup... :lol:

we had this:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

it was THICK

We always had the real stuff. When I was really little my dad and uncle made it from our trees.

We had Aunt Jemima growing up until my grandfather started making the real stuff. My uncle took it over from him when he died, and we got a few jars of that. Since then, we have resorted to buying the real stuff. It hurts to have to pay for real maple syrup, but I can't eat the fake stuff.

Trader Joe's often has good deals on it.

I took a trip to Killington Vermont with the family as a young kid.
We have never used the fake stuff since.
Trader Joes is where I get it, but I don't shop often enough to catch it on sale.

Pete's got it right, Zen. Your options (in American grocery stores, at least) are literally 100%, or 0%. Why would they waste even 2% of real maple syrup on people who don't care enough to demand 100%?

I presume it is to fool (oops, market to) suckers who don't know better.

:eek: :eyebrow:

I grew up in a Log Cabin household. Then I discovered the dark, gooey richness of Karo Dark. Ah, the memories, which are probably far sweeter than the syrup.

I now stick to the real deal. I have at least three different kinds between the fridge and the cabinets right now, including a lovely jar (not bottle) of Amish Made Grade B Dark, that I picked up at the Central Market in Lancaster. That is some awesome syrup. Man. Now I want to make pancakes right away.

I watched three episodes this am. That is such a great show. I am slowly learning that to really understand all the details you would need to watch every episode from the very beginning. There always seems to be subtle references to things from episodes ago, but it doesn't detract from the overall show.

Which era were you watching merc?

Ugg... I have no idea.

The episode was where the people were trapped in the Library and inside a child who was part of a computer mainframe, she was the hard drive. And all the shadows were eating the people. I watched it to the end when they were saved, about 3 hours worth.

Ahh. Ok, So the modern era then :P The 10th Doctor (David Tennant): the one who's just stepped down.

Silence in the Library is the name of the episode I think.

yea, David Tennant. It was really great.

That's one of my favourite two parters. That bit when River Song whispers to him and we find out she knows his real name. Awesome.

Nobody knows that by the way. It's never been revealed :P


I really liked the audio echo of the dead as well. Moving and very creepy.

I've never seen Dr. Who. How does it compare to Spaced?
