April 9 2013 Doctor Who Offline

So the Ponds was sent back in time by the angel and she went on to write children's books under the name Amelia Williams.

Re: 5/11/2011 Dr. Who

You'll be up to date in no time.
The current series really is dark, weird, bizarre and one of the best.

Re: 3/15 - Goin' Grey

Perfect timing. When your children poke fun at your hair, you can always point out that you didn't have any before they arrived. And another thing, forget the shotgun. Just be ultra-liberal hippyish parents. When she reaches her teens she will be forced to rebel against you and be sensible. (Advice ...

Re: August 19th 2010 - Cider

I found this reference to adding a leg of mutton and the odd accidental rat. However I'm sure the local farmers around where I lived used a slab of pig. Possibly it depended on what they farmed.

Re: August 19th 2010 - Cider

Bizarrely Greg is actually right. I come from Devon, which is famous for cyder (scrumpy).

Re: Real Life - The Greg's Notes Edition

They sent me a replacement that arrived today and it is as screwed up as the first one. Which is an improvement on the response I got.

Got a nice reply from Lulu, telling me that the pdf files were in the wrong format.
Idiots!
So I've asked them how that is my problem. I just want a properly printed copy.

The printers seem to be in Eastbourne, which might explain it.

Re: Real Life - The Greg's Notes Edition

And while we're on the subject.

I wish to protest that Feb. 23rd 2000 isn't included.
