Pick up litter and dispose of it properly.

That was my yearly Christmas watch for many years. It has a surprisingly heartwarming ending, and what a cast!

Not struggling, but not living the high life, either. No retirement savings, so I’ll be working until I die, probably, but at least I like my job.

You’re in danger.

I think you can’t trust it and need to check it’s work. I feel the same about most navigation apps, and ADAS systems in cars.

If you can’t trust it 100% of the time, you can’t trust it at all.

I got most of mine through second-hand bulk lots from kids selling their collections after they thought they grew out of them. Fools!

That’s really cool. I never tried kitbashing and painting (too messy for me) but I did dabble in building mecha out of Lego back in the day. Getting them fully articulated and proportional was a challenge, and I especially loved trying different methods of making hands.

The coolest one I ever built was about 15cm tall, fully poseable, and fit a minifig pilot.

I still have all that lego, but nowhere to set it up, so I haven’t built anything in years. :(

I made a simrig for my youngest, with his help, out of the timber from an old bunk-bed, a car-seat from a wreckers, and some donated heavy duty locking casters that were the inspiration for the job. It was designed so the pedal area slid under the seat to make it more compact when not in use. All fully adjustable so it’d fit him as he grew. I was a bit miffed when he sold it, wheel and pedals included for $50. He could have got 4 times that.

(Table with TV not part of the rig. That’s part of my rig that I’ve previously posted)

Aussie here. He made some of the coolest music videos ever.

There used to be a Christian band in Tassie called ‘The Fish That John West Rejects’. (A reference to an ad campaign running at the time)

Also another aussie band that’d play bluegrass covers of rock classics called ‘The Fargone Beauties’

the fact that regeneration is billie piper in the last moments of 15th doctors regeneration

Seriously? Ugh.

That really wasn’t very good even though Paul McGann was an excellent Doctor. Eric Roberts as the master, though…

The Eighth Doctor novels were a wild ride though. Fantastic stories. They really put him through the wringer. I hear his Big Finish stories are pretty good as well.

Fewer dumb kids.

Didn’t they bring back Russell T Davis for that series?

Yeah, the cracks were starting to appear, so to speak, in the Capaldi era.

Doctor Who going to Disney. I haven’t even watched it. Maybe it’s ok, but classic British shows never really survive getting Americanised. I lost interest about halfway through the Jodie Whittaker era - specifically The Timeless Child nonsense.

What on Earth is everyone talking about? There’s only one Highlander movie.

We don’t talk about that season.

Many years ago I read the George’s first draft of the original Star Wars, and boy-howdy was it a load of old nonsense. He works best when he has an editor prepared to tell him ‘no’.

I watched a review of all the BBT series and their spin-offs recently, and they had pretty positive feelings about that. It sounds pretty fun, and how bad can it be if Brian Posehn is in it?
