Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

And I felt like it was only me who thought it. I stopped watching around 10 years of age because it was... well, awful. I have since had a look at modern ones and it is just... well, awful with attitude.

I can hear all those cliché even now...

Ooh, remember when you hid behind the sofa while watching Dr Who..? NO..!
Ooh, remember you used to cuddle the cushion while watching Dr Who..? NO..!
Ooh, remember when you used to put your hand up in front of your face and watch through your fingers..? Err.. NO..!

No, I don't remember doing any of these things because I didn't do them. It wasn't spooky or frightening, even to a 5, 6, 7 or 8 year old, unless they were used to a diet of TV fairy cake. I'm sure there are those, almost mythical, viewers out there who adore Dr Who because it is so special. I expect they number in their hundreds rather than the millions who are supposedly out there in TV land. I have never been one of them, although I will admit to liking Jon Pertwee as a comic actor.

Oh God I hope this is true!

 

Vanity..! It could be the Sabotage Times. I wasn't necessarily referring to The Thunderer.

 

Yay, I got a Banana PM.

 

Oh man, it's been so long.

 

What's the inventive name this time, Dan..?

 

I accidentally left the UK proxy that I use to access iPlayer engaged, and went to the Steam store. Suddenly, everything was cheaper...and then I saw the currency symbol and all joy was dashed.

 

Never mind. Nigel's here.

 

It's not exactly an exciting one.

Nigel Adkins. He's having fun on the main forum at the moment.

 

Yeah, I made the connection. It took a while as I was just off up that wooden hill.

 

Yay, I haven't been forgotten after all.

 

Of course not. Night Pepys.

 

Cortese strikes again...you have to admit the man is a genius.

Shady Italian gent: 'Andy, would you like a sherbet dab?'
Carroll: 'Gee, thanks, gov.'
