Going through Community again, and in season 6, there are Doctor Who dvd's on Abed's shelf. So,

A) Is Abed watching Doctor Who? Because that seems insane to me given his Inspector Spacetime fandom.
B) Between Who and Inspector Spacetime, which is the knock off version?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

“Nelson’s Column? Pah!
TV THAT TIME FORGOT: Nelson's Column (BBC1, 1994-95)

John Gordon Sinclair sitcom about a journalist called Gavin Nelson who... has a column. It's either the worst ever name for a sitcom or... the best?

Since “Prince” is no longer a hereditary title, but one which requires meritorious conduct, can we agree the same applies to “King”?

Are you sure about that?
All is well with Andy - so far.

So my daughter is back from Cambridge just for Sunday lunch. She wants a proper roast dinner with roast spuds and Yorkshires. Takes a bit of work on the timing but no problem, we will have a lovely chill time.

I thought. /1
