Party time again!

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

I don't remember exactly but I remember a lot of it from the reviews of Doctor Who and just general comments on tv about her - very chavvy, but it is apparently considered attractive - after she left Doctor who she was in something called Secret Diary of A Call Girl or something along those lines and there were a lot of comments about it and her.

I don't understand it either

Some people just have a weird taste, I guess... ;)

I suppose Rose is sexy in the eyes of many a male. But being female, I fail to see this, and I dislike what remains.

The 11th doctor didn't have a bad start, but he hardly seems to have developed since. Somehow, he lacks focus. Or maybe it's the series that has come to lack focus. It's become messy, IMO.

I agree. It does seem that the show has been lacking focus and so the characters seem to change to suit the stories thus not having character development and so on.

Ha. Comment 200!

I still have to watch last Saturday's episode, but I'm not in a hurry. That's not a goods sign, I think.

Yay 200! comments! :D

I won't spoil you - just say it was rather disappointing.

I watched it earlier this evening. You were right, it wasn't impressive. Though I liked the Roman charioteer stopping for a traffic light and Churchill being addressed as 'Caesar'.

Yes, a lot of the little bits like that were cool. I also liked Amy's train. :)
