So a year into this pandemic working from home malarkey one of my team is complaining that work meetings give her migraine. Nothing too surprising there. All that staring at screens gets to us all (I have online meetings stacked so tight tomorrow I'll be lucky to get a bathroom break between...

This may seem a little off base, but with Christmas around the corner and black Friday this week, find me an avatar featuring the weirdest and most wonderful Who merchandise you can find. Dalek slushies, Tardis handbags, sonic Sox... merch of any variety.

I'm looking for a script that can be customised by a bear of very little brain. And I seem to be going round in circles. So I'm seeking help and advice. What I'm trying to do is this: offer an email address to wedding guests (and for friends to send email greetings instead of cards) that...

Any series, any doctor, sad, witty, unintentionally funny. What are your favourite lines and quotes from 50 years? To kick off, BobTheSkutter and I just watched "Vengeance on Varos" and fell about laughing when the Sil ranted "How dare I be spoken to like that!" ... huh?

Ongoing studies into how people make decisions and form opinions are increasingly coming to the discovery that human beings are not the logical, rational creatures we would like to think. Most key decisions are primarily informed not by complex weighing of pros and cons, but by emotional...

Long long ago, in a far, far galaxy, next door but three to the restaurant at the end of the universe there was a bar. Known most often as 'Harry's Bar', though sometimes 'Sarek's Bar' after its proprietor, it was a warm, friendly, peaceful place where TrekBBS denizens could gather for a pint, a...

Apparently Elmo has been arrested for using words sponsored by the letters F and S Full story here: http://gothamist.com/2012/06/25/video_crazy_anti-semitic_elmo_captu.php (Suspect the vids are NSFW for strong language) I love the image of him being carried away with big red feet sticking up...

This story is something that really only could happen in Britain: There's a great quote from one of the organisers who said: Looks like the silly season started early! (Let the puns commence)

This sneaked into my twitter stream because I follow an eclectic mix of people. Apparently Danny Cohen, controller of BBC1 spoke at a Christian Conference this afternoon called 'Church and Media Network 2011'. And was reported as saying that there will be 'limited episodes' of Doctor Who in...

I want to compare the story-styles in modern Who. This is a reflection about story-telling styles. It's a reflection, not really meant as a 'criticism' of one style or another. And it's about styles, not content. Though I think I do want to ask the question whether such a complete change in...

The standard of entries is really high this week, it's going to be a tough call. On which basis, you get to vote for three - yes, three - entries. Choose from: PorthosShadow: Kai "the spy" Praetor_Shinzon captcalhoun Starkers Worf2DS9 opali od0_ital Orac Joy...

Not sure whether this has been done before, but I thought it might be apposite to run a theme of children, young people, or offspring. My first thought was "Nah, that'll never work, not enough ideas" Until I realised I could think of about 6 straight off. So that's the theme. They don't...

What if River is a long time personification of the TARDIS? The 'person whose' identity (soul?) was put into Idris? (Confuses me, Idris is a male name meaning 'impulsive lord', and one for a dragon, at that :p ) Not sure if it would work, and there are probably a hundred reasons why she can't...

Apparently there's a sudden political swing in the US... to the middle. Worse, it's being supported by the sort of amused sarcastic humour one would normally expect from Brits. Apparently this guy (Job Stewart) is trying to organise some political rallies before the forthcoming US elections and...

So what is TrekBBS or its denizens indivdually doing to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Be ye plannin' summat excitin'? Mekkin' star wars fans walk the plank like the landlubbers they be? Drinkin' rum and instillin' th' fear o' God in a few scurvy dogs? (I be'nt be preachin'...

It was TrekBBS who first introduced me to The Fox. And now he's five years old today. Wow! Doesn't seem so long! Now I'm even getting just a little familiar with the fox's friend, the penguin. How many users here switched to the fox?

Hope this belongs in this forum. If Jadzia feels it would be better in Misc, please move it. Now... how do I do that bit with inserting video? Oh stuff it: link here Oh stuff it: link here. Someone else can embed it if you feel it warrants it. We have a hero!!!

Yesterday, my new toy arrived. I have treated myself to one of these. So far it is working beautifully, though it will be several days before I get it completely configured. It's an amazing device, so much more than a 'cellphone'. (Indeed, there are those saying it's not a cellphone at all.)...

For the last few days I've been researching something called maemo. Which I gather doesn't rhyme with Nemo, though to looks like it should. It's a version of linux used in mobile (and don't get me into what linux rhymes with!) And then I thought... I bet there are people on TBBS who know about...

A bunch of the women from work signed up to do a sponsored walk while I was off over the summer. Fine But then one of them dropped out. So yes, you've guessed it, I volunteered to take her place. And tonight, at midnight (for goodness sake!) I will be walking 15km in aid of Cornwall Hospices...
