    Typhon Pact: Should I keep going?

    except I don't know where to buy them anymore. my old ebook seller no longer sell them for residence outside N. America, and I refuse to buy from amazon.

    7X01 Asylum Of The Daleks (Grading/Discussion) (SPOILERS!)

    I actually don't have a problem with these Daleks not hitting Rory in that scene. They just 'woke' up, all the calibrations were probably out of date.

    7X01 Asylum Of The Daleks (Grading/Discussion) (SPOILERS!)

    it's called something in Chinese, but it's translated in English to the chinese parliament. for all we know, the Daleks could call it goobeeegoch, it's just the TARDIS translate it into English to the Dalek parliament. Doesn't have to be a body of democratically elected representatives, just a...

    7X01 Asylum Of The Daleks (Grading/Discussion) (SPOILERS!)

    according to Wikipedia: "The Great Hall of the People ... It functions as the meeting place of the National People's Congress, the Chinese parliament." So how you define a parliament is different to how individual nation define their own parliament.

    7X01 Asylum Of The Daleks (Grading/Discussion) (SPOILERS!)

    Wow, that's impressive, so about 10% if the normal audience number? Good on Auntie for making it available.

    well, if you have an ipad, then you can subscribe to iPlayer for about $10 a month, I think.

    nightwind1, Bonz has spelt it very clearly previously in this thread this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated, so you've earned yourself a trolling warning. Comments to PM.

    Series 7 FINALLY Starts Shooting

    That's what I thought, DW used to be on Sunday, so we could watch it on the 2nd, but by putting it on Saturdays now, we'll have to wait for a week.

    Question about Chinese unity

    Well, I had to read the translation of books like Les Miserables or Count of Monte Cristo, so yeah, I know what you mean. Even the Chinese versions should have notes to explain certain sentences, otherwise, it's like reading Shakespearian plays, you wouldn't understand everything. yup, it's...

    Question about Chinese unity

    You're right. Which begs the question, why? Because only your family and your elders can call you by your given name. If others call you by your given name it's a sign of disrespect. (To doubly make sure, I went and checked a few sources.) So this is really interesting. Because in China, Chiang...

    Question about Chinese unity

    Thank you. :) Yep, that's what I get from travelling in Europe and picking up tiny bits of the European languages. It's especially the case when English is my second language, you can see where all the words come from. I also did French in school, so when I was in Spain or Italy, I noticed a...

    Question about Chinese unity

    I am not an expert, but I am a native speaker, and I speak Mandarin, Shanghainese (btw, Shanghai is *not* Northern China), Cantonese (though that's rusty), bits of Hokkan (which is the main Taiwanese dialects), and I can understand most of the various Wu dialects, the dialects in Northern China...
