Our local pub currently has Rook Pie on the specials board. Nobody has ordered one yet. A regular shot a load of rooks from his garden and brought them in to see if the chef wanted them. You know you're getting old when you mention the Two Ronnies Rook Restaurant sketch and the pub landlady looks completely blank. Luckily its on You Tube. Which she has heard of.
Better version of the theme tune now. Not as Eighties, which is a good thing as it was 1990. Gabrielle Anwar on board as Sam, but Julie is still in the group photo. Last-minute replacement...
Twice now Moffat has referred to Star Wars in the series opener. This time it’s the name Peter Mayhew.
Cassette recorders start appearing prominently in this episode. It won’t be the last time.
With Colin’s escape artist trapped in an impenetrable box, do we have the first inkling of the Pandorica?
Possible generalised Doctor Who reference: ‘Well, we’ve got all this corridor to march up and down.’
Moffat teases us with the Almost Kiss.
But later that smile again from Lynda … wow.
'We don't have to prove it. We only have to print it.' Harsh but true. Sorry, Chewbacca.
Picking Up the Pieces
Moff is always good with a title.
Here we see how Moffat is also good about the show’s continuity: Kenny finally getting dumped by Jenny Elliott.
Frazz: ‘Check.’
Colin (waking up suddenly): ‘’s in the post!’
We never see Colin returning all the money but presumably ...
Sullivan says Lynda described Spike as ‘somewhere between Santa Claus and Mother Teresa’ … what, no Scooby-Doo?
Going Back to Jasper Street
Very timey-wimey structure again as well as the use of dreams. Fun to see Lynda and Kenny at six and it’s not done too broadly to be believable.
Accent watch: Well, diction really. Would Spike really say ‘haven’t got round to’ or would he automatically say ‘haven’t gotten around to’? Purely Moffat’s fault there.
Lynda has funerals for her hamsters. Could this have helped Hammy to like her a bit more?
Sullivan is a sci-fi-guy. ‘A freak wormhole has opened up in the space-time continuum …’ he’s just saved the universe!
Probably just three again next week due to the two-parter...

Breakfast at Czars
I always thought that this was a rather interesting concept, someone trying to take them for a ride by providing them with false information. It also shows that Lynda should listen to Sarah (who has a brain). The almost kiss and the false imprisonment of Spike are little teasers to keep us teenage girls interested (although I get the feeling that he rather likes it). The addition of the two terrorist girls is an interesting one. Cassette recorders are a good thing and so are walkman's:o.
Although this episode is not my favourite (solution a bit too simple, the characterisations are much better).

The chess girl really annoys me. She is blooming boring (let's play chess instead of going on a date, yeah right). Colin started to get on my nerves, and the eighties selling tactics are in full swing. Just as well we are not looking for real gritty stuff here (everyone would have known that Frazz in is not a chess master). Lynda defending Spike, because he is a worthwhile member of the Junior Gazette is hilarious. Everyone knows what it going on apart from Spike and Lynda. I love Sullivan in this. Not so sure, I would agree that Spike beating up a sixth former was a good idea, even if the motive behind it gave us a better insight into his obsession with Lynda.
On a last note, Jenny is stupid. Kenny is great:mad:

Ok, so we see that Lynda was an obnoxious little madam when she is a lot younger:p. Kenny is far too nice for her, but their friendship has survived a lot. The figurine looks scary, and maybe we can see some of River's reactions here (can't explain why, but it did remind me of her). Lynda feeling guilty about her broken promise is interesting and will come into play into one of the later episodes (series 3 where she keeps a promise). Colin's inability to chat up girls is funny, but even funnier is his and Spike's interaction to fool Ruby (which doesn't work). Poor Spike the girls just love him (actually in this series Spike transformed from thug to someone quite special - he is far more concerned about other people than Lynda).
Three is more than enough. I must admit, series 2 has some great stuff. The two parter and the rest of my life are fantastic episodes.
For my, quote: 'Deranged scenarios that would ruin a family show'. Although it wasn't actually a mod who said that, but she did like the comment.
And what's with the big smile at that?

The was because I like people who speak their mind. I think you do that.;):)

I like silent films. I'm definitely going to get that. A few years ago I saw the original Ben Hur with the full Philharmonia Orchestra doing the music and conducted by the composer (of the newly comissioned score). Talk about spectacular. They can keep their Avatarformerbots.
In fact I've just seen they're putting it on again. I got a ticket for nine quid last time and it was an excellent seat.

Sounds disgusting, doesn't it? An Eleventh Hour level meal idea. They must be putting something in the water in Birmingham.
To be honest with you. They sound kinda tasty.:o
ok - on the menu they go!

How is everyone? By the way, whoever asked about my interview it went OK, they're not going to put me on a full time placement
Banned? Why?:D
It's always best to forget everything:)

T'was just a matter of time :D
*cleans out coffee vats (who decided it was a good idea to keep goldfish in there? ) and refills with fresh brews*
*bakes fresh croissants and releases the newly delivered cannamon thumgs*
*leaves hugs and snoggs in a big pile by the bar for those that need them*
Wow, the new cannamon thumgs have wings. **tries to catch one**
Can I have some brown milk with my coffee? I have a long day with loads of marking ahead of me. Better get going with it:D
**leaves snoggs for everyone**
*leaves Lach's morning coffee order on the bar for when she's next here*
As usually hon, the coffee's in the flask on the left
Morning Mrs, how's stuff?
waiting for the caffeine to kick in so I can get my creative juices flowing
It's all for the restoration, you know. :cool:

Well recommended.
and Metropolis
and Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Not seen Napolean yet. The other two are excellent. I like the German expressionists. Murnau's Sunrise is a goody.
**releases some stale cannamon thumgs**
**fires up coffee vat**
**realises that a real fire doesn't work and runs off to get the fire extinguisher:o**
**makes up some instant coffoee**
Here is to a wonderful day.
*snagfles a thumg and a coffee*
Low profile for me this morning, got visitors to the office so chances to post will be non-existent
Have a good morning everyone
*disappears in a puff of blue smoke*
