But it doesn't matter as JRT's legs can be digitally enhanced for all running scenes. Very minor problem solved.<BR/><BR/>I've always wanted to see JRT as the next DW after his last regeneration and ginger comment, as cello has already mentioned above.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-43203992955284587732007-07-04T20:35:00.000+01:002007-07-04T20:35:00.000+01:00One of his limbs is on backwards?

And he has the required large nose to be a Doctor.

And there's a bit too much SF from the last 20 years that posits just that. There is a little voice inside me which screams I DO NOT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR TOILET HABITS on a regular basis. Especially as I'm on a work Jabber server all day and people seem to need to tell me every time they visit the restroom.<BR/><BR/>James — Dr Who? Hmm... A new career beckons (or maybe you just don't want to finish those revisions, for pay or not ;-) ). My husband is currently voting for Julian Rhind-Tutt (for the new Dr. Who, I mean, not to finish your revisions. Sorry). But I think this is because R-T looks a bit like Tom Baker at times.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709591182852463705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-44698975740255078292007-07-02T22:38:00.000+01:002007-07-02T22:38:00.000+01:00I walked into B&Q yesterday afternoon for some she...I walked into B&Q yesterday afternoon for some shelves and the teenage till girl pointed at me and screamed. Apparently she remembered me from the previous week, when I went in to buy my first lot of shelves. We'd had a brief conversation - about shelves - and it turned out she was just 'pleased' to see me back. The other staff barely batted a collective eyelid, so maybe she does this all the time. Still, it was a bit unnerving, although if I'm honest also oddly gratifying.
