wiseheartWell, folks, it seems that LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But I still have most of the comments in my inbox, and will re-post the original entry and list the available comments with the simple mentioning of the names, if it's all right with you. If not, tell me, and I'll delete yours.
We won't allow LJ to crash our party!
Original post
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 56 on October 9, which means I'd have been retired for a year already, 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 have considered myself retired for the last year, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 6 or 7 or only God knows how many years.
So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 943 comments on 7 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! WE CAN BREAK THE 1000-COMMENT-BARRIER! 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 cake of your choice. If you want to post your favourite recipe in a comment, be my guest. If not, just drop by and say hello.
Cheers!
Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp.
Join us and have fun! Feel free to start any thread, any topic you want; we can discuss it, mock the general stupidity of life and laugh at it.
Last count was 1328 comments on 6 pages.
NB: Shoud the original party post mysteriously reappear, I'll delete this one.

Date: 2012-10-07 03:55 pm (UTC)Mine is Nine.
I liked Threee and Four moderately well in the few episodes I got to see.
Still want to see some of Five. I absolutely despised Ten, and I must add
that the only episode I swaw with Eleven didn't impress me much.

Date: 2012-10-07 03:58 pm (UTC)I've stopped watching. I'm not sure if it's because of Eleven, or because
the show is getting repetitive.

Date: 2012-10-07 04:21 pm (UTC)I liked Five as a child -- but Mr EA stopped watching because of him. I
seem to have lost my Nine icon! Aie!

Date: 2012-10-07 07:11 pm (UTC)Amy and Rory are indeed fantastic! I love their interactions both with
the Doctor and with each other and the fact that they are in some way
reverse gender stereotypes.

Date: 2012-10-07 07:24 pm (UTC)Oh yes, I got quite fed-up with how Rose and Martha seemed to be defined
by their romantic love/crush for/on the Doctor. I had such high hopes for
Martha too, because in her first episode she was a well-educated, though
and smart young professional woman and that could have been such a good
character to have the Doctor bounce off of.
