50 something geek. Just trying to get by on this insignificant blue green planet orbiting an unremarkable yellow sun.
Really love Doctor Who, Tori Amos & random 80s/90s mostly forgotten pop culture, so be warned most of my posts will be about those
Don't laugh but I'm rather find of One Fine Day
Name your fav George Clooney film.

I'm working but due to my hours being cut I have to claim. I don't want to but it's really a matter of not struggling and the sheer amount of stress and faff just to get what I get in the course of the last 8 months is shocking. Then I see this and my piss absolutely boils. How dare they !😠

Question was Jon Pertwee ever up to play Alfred Pennyworth in the Batman movies from 89 - 96 ? Seem to have heard it somewhere. Tried googling it but it keeps telling me Sean Pertwee was in Gotham
Typical it suddenly to be correct when I don't need it to be

In 2013 I did a watch of all the (post 2005) #DoctorWho Christmas episodes. Today I'm doing everything from 2013 onwards (partly because I'm planning a NuWho binge in 26 & partly because BBC3 seem to be ignoring the Capaldi's )

Really enjoyed Superman this summer and like the look of this. A much different take to Melissia Beniost's Supergirl and I'm all for it

Ikr? These clowns don't even have original ideas, they saw Covid happening and thought, "You know what'll sell the papers? Mask outrage, remember what happened in 1918?"

Also, for a bunch that "hate" the news, they sure do frequent a lot in headlines, funny that.
