As Pixie-Anne Wheatley on Fast Forward used to say (if you’re Australian, you might get the reference), “It’s the question that’s on the lips and tips of everyone’s thingies”…
Even People At The Darts Want To Know
Much Better.
That was a bad day the other day. I felt awful. I’m feeling much better now. Thank goodness. I’d been a bit worried about myself there. Thankfully it was just a pre-Christmas bump.
Just finished the last of the online food shop. That gets delivered tomorrow. I had to scoot around the other day when Gilly took us to Letchworth to get a mock (vegetarian) turkey roll from Holland and Barrett. Flippin’ £4.25 it cost! It’ll barely feed me and Em. Just enough for both of us. I’m totally splurging on nice food this year. We had a bleak Xmas last year, so this one will be special. And we’ve got alcohol too! I got a bottle of Disaronno from Morrisons the other day (almond liqueur, like marzipan) and I’ve also got a bottle of Midori (melon liqueur) coming and a couple of packs of snowballs (advocaat mixer). Sssooo looking forward to the Doctor Who Christmas special. I’m counting down the day to Xmas by the number of days left before I get to see the special! That’s bad! I’ve got plans to go and see Australia at the cinema as well. I saw the Newsnight Review on the BBC and it was slated by Germaine Greer and other members on the review panel. It sounded SO bad, it’s good! Just a little bit of bits and bobs today. Laters…He Might Not Be God – But He’s Goddam Sexy!
The TV Times readers have voted David Tennant sexiest male on TV. Receiving his award Mr T says “Well, I’m not sure what to say about being called the sexiest actor of the year! But I’m very flattered and somewhat bewildered. All I know is that I voted for John Barrowman!”
He then goes on to say how delighted he is that Doctor Who got the gong for favourite TV show, finishing with “See you at Christmas. We’ve got Cybermen, snow and David Morrissey…it’s going to be glorious!” So there…He might not be God, but he is one sexy man! I’m not alone in that thinking 🙂
David Tennant Is *NOT* God??!
Well, this is shocking news! This person, despite appearances can’t be that much of a fan.
Randomist, Dreams.
Just wanted to say that I am really loving and enjoying using my Zen X-Fi. It does take a while to get used to using something new, doesn’t it? I’ve just worked out the playlist bit and now have a BIG 80’s mega-mix playlist with over 400 songs. I’ve made one of all my U2 stuff and another of all my Bowie stuff. And Em worked out how to get AAC files on there for me. It’s really, really good!
Now, on to these dreams… I had a crap nights sleep really. Chris came up to bed for cuddles (she’s been doing this for the last few months). Once me and Em are both settled, she comes to my pillow and lays next to me for cuddles and smooches. She normally stays only about 10-15 minutes. Sometimes she doesn’t even come up. But over the last week, I’ve had a couple of nights where she’s outstayed her welcome, hogged my pillow and made it nigh on impossible for me to get comfortable and go to sleep. I eventually did last night, after some hours. She eventually disappeared and I finally got my pillow back in the early hours of the morning (around 5-6am). Once I was comfortable, I started to have dreams. The first one was about James May (yes, the bloke from Top Gear!). I dreamt I had a thing for him, we met up, he was driving me around in a car and I was flirting with him! I came round from that dream thinking “that was a bit weird, but kinda cool. James is alright!” I went back to sleep and had a Doctor Who themed dream then. Not too deeply DT’ed, but I saw enough of him 🙂 It more centred around John Barrowman’s character, Jack Harkness and how he came to be the “Face of Bow”. Very strange for me to dream something so plot-heavy. But it was cool. I didn’t have any other dreams after that and still feel VERY tired. Might need to have an early night tonight. I’m planning to fill my 1GB SD card with 101 Christmas songs and play them on my Zen in shuffle mode tonight! LOVING using the shuffle mode with my playlists! L8rs!Children In Need 2008.
Well now Christmas is TRULY on its way now another Children In Need is done and dusted for another year.
The theme for this year was “do something different”, did that extend to the BBC One program itself? Hell no! Still hosted by one of the world’s worst presenters in God’s universe, Sir Terry Wigon (Wogan) (Eurovision is a totally different matter – he’s sort of in his element there) along with Tess Daly – who actually held it together and helped to make it a little less shambolic. Everyone elses favourite female presenter, Fearne Cotton, was helping out too (she seems to be universally hated, but I like her). The night started off with *yawn* McFly doing a song. And it just kept descending from there. The cast of The Bill doing a Blues Brothers style musical medley.Performances from Duffy, Girls Aloud, Take That, Sugababes, Boyzone (yawn, yawn, yawn)
Thank GOD I wasn’t up late enough to see Jason Donovan’s performance!
The cast of Eastenders doing a “songs from the movies” themed musical medley – Lord help us all!
Terry Wigon and Tess Daly having a Strictly Come Dancing dance-off.
The BBC newsreaders doing a ABBA-esque-cum-Mamma Mia style musical medley (help!) I think by the time the newsreaders came on I thought, “I’m off to bed”. I don’t know why I do it to myself every year. You’d think I’d have learned from last year that it’s just awful and cheesy and full of crappy music acts that I don’t want to see, etc, etc. I NEVER LEARN! Apart from a passable special episode of Q.I., the best part of the show, and the only REAL reason I kept enduring it, was this. Now isn’t THAT interesting?! SO cannot wait for Christmas now!!!

I Heard The News Today, Oh Boy…
It’s been nearly a week and I’m STILL reeling from the news that David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who.
In his own words, here’s why:
