That quote just reminds me again why I hate John McEnroe. Ah, why do you hate him? He's nice! I agree, he was a hot-tempered brat when he was younger, but he's much more mellow now. Lauren, I've never heard of Tenpole Tudor. What is it?

oooh don't worry about it, it's a band from the actor Edward Tudor-Pole. i was just wonderin'. he was in HP: CoS and was curious if you knew his stuff.
usually the noisy idiots that were upstairs would be waking up and making noise right about now. i'm glad it's pure silence now.

I'll catch up reading the rest of the posts of the last thread and this thread later, I just want to say something about Captain Jack in Doctor Who (it may have been resolved, it may not have been). Captain Jack is a bonafide bisexual character. How do you know? Well, first there's him flirting with some male soldier, then he flirts with Rose when he saves her (which was adorabible by the way ^^) then in the next episode he flirts with another male solider... Rose goes "Eh? 0_o" and the Doctor kindly informs her that in the future when space and time travel are jolly fun for all, you're often lucky to meet a member of your own species so you tend not to care much about gender so long as they're cute and you like them. Then Jack continues to flirt with anything pretty, male or female until he gives both Rose and the Doctor emotional goodbye kisses. He's written to be bi, he's shown to be bi in the series, the actor who plays him says Jack is bi therefore the only conclusion you can make is that he's bisexual. Sorry, I mean the only conclusion you can make is that he's a ridiculously sexy, cheeky, ass-kicking space cowboy who just happens to be bisexual and he's awesome ;D You could miss out on the fact that he's bi... if you don't catch on very fast.

They're all like that. Go ahead and call me stereotypical if you want, but one of the banks I used to take calls on was based in New York; that's where almost all of the callers were from. I don't think they're intentionally rude, they're just in too big of a hurry to be polite. The regular nice-ness and courtesy you're suposed to use in customer service didn't work on them. I found that the more I stood up to them and talked back, the more they respected me. It was bizarre. A totally different mindset that most of the people where I live. You understand! Mmm, delicious bee vomit... Lauren: Night swimming is fun. Ever skinny dip? HS: "Captain Jack" always makes me think of Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean, in which he acts remarkably flamboyant for a heterosexual. Perhaps Jack Sparrow is hiding something?

The type with separate words for a slang for "vomit" and large tubs for washing one's self in? Well, that's an extreme Northerner - you get graduations... Anyway, YOUDIDN'TANSWERMYQUESTION have you watched Time Trumpet yet? Yup, and *sigh* that's half an hour of my life I won't get back . At least I won't make the same mistake next week... What did you think? Exactly...the stuff on the flowers isn't honey (at least, not in the form that we eat). Honey is basically just bee vomit. That's a new description. I knew there was a good reason why I didn't like honey You beat me to it.
How about we hold it to a vote? Hands up, all those who think it's spam. *raises hand* Anyway, he's on holiday now, so we can say what we like ! Nah, I think it's salvageable. Don't give up so easily. [/color][/quote] Hmmmm, nope. It used to be translucent purple. Now it's black. I've got a new one anyway - takes 10 plugs ;D! then in the next episode he flirts with another male solider... Rose goes "Eh? 0_o" and the Doctor kindly informs her that in the future when space and time travel are jolly fun for all, you're often lucky to meet a member of your own species so you tend not to care much about gender so long as they're cute and you like them. Huh? I missed that. *Goes to look at script* Hmm, can't find it right now, but I'll take your word for it. I suppose that would be a fairly big giveaway, wouldn't it ! Sorry, I mean the only conclusion you can make is that he's a ridiculously sexy, cheeky, ass-kicking space cowboy who just happens to be bisexual and he's awesome ;D You know what? I reckon Hail likes Capt. Jack just a little... !

Nothing ever beat To Serve Man, if you ask me. Such cheap effects.
...Why?
What I had in mind was leaving the both of them open. We could've moved into this one ourselves when LPE 8 was full, which could've been locked the next time a mod was online.
I thought it was genius. Especially the spoof interviews. "What was PETROL all about!?" And "I mean, how do you look yourself in the eye?" "With a mirror, perhaps?" "...Oh yes." I take it you didn't like it, then? You're such an Islander.
Anyway, I've had it confirmed by an omniscient source. Brummies are not northerners.

Has anyone ever watched the detective show Quincy, M.E.? I've only seen a few episodes, although I've seen practically all the episodes of Diagnosis Murder and loads of Murder, She Wrote episodes.
But I've always liked what I've seen of Quincy and I've noticed that ITV is showing it at 11:35 in the morning. So I may tune in this week.

I'm quite sure it does happen at some point, I think when they're on Jack's ship? It's been a long time since I saw it, and the wording probably isn't right but there is some sort of allusion to Jack being bisexual where the doctor says something to rose about space travel and the dispersion of the human race. This is why I need DVDs!
Just a bit... I really can't wait for Torchwood! ;D I like the actor who plays Jack too, John Barrowman (he's gay in real life though, so even if I chloroformed him and took him to my secret lair I'd still have no chance...) He presented This Morning for a week ages ago when Phillip Schofield was off and he was hilarious XD What a guy! ;D
Oooh Quincey is awesome. Not as awesome as Columbo, but it'll do. I love the opening credits, they crack me up every time XD

I need a general opinion here: I've started listening to Rolf Harris. Is this sufficient reason to break all contact with civilization, give myself the name "Gnyuh", feed only on warm moss and live under a fallen tree on a beach somewhere?
...Not Mickey then? Is that just me?
Torchwood does look interesting, and yet slightly worrying. I'd like to see Captain Jack's return in the main series (Which we've been promised), but I'm not sure how it can be done as long as Torchwood's running.

Hehe, he's right you know, MC, we can move to a new thread all by ourselves. We're wesponsible! I thought it was genius. Especially the spoof interviews. "What was PETROL all about!?" And "I mean, how do you look yourself in the eye?" "With a mirror, perhaps?" "...Oh yes." I take it you didn't like it, then? You're such an Islander. I thought it was pretty abysmal. Nothing funny, at all, really. Anyway, I've had it confirmed by an omniscient source. Brummies are not northerners. Well, alright. Brummies are just, well, Brummies . You lot can have a class of your own ! I'm quite sure it does happen at some point, I think when they're on Jack's ship?

This is why I need DVDs! Hmm, when you say it like that, I recognise it much more. Still can't find it, though. I'm probably skimming right over it ^-^!

Hm. It looks pretty much like a Marmite thing. Surely the Cameron/Blair thing was hilarious, though? Surely?
I've been told we're "Midlanders".
...Oh. Okay.

Time Trumpet... funy in parts, not in others - I didn't watch it from the beggining though. The Blair + Cameron thing made me choke laughing . And Richard Ayoade was in it! I love him! First I think Cpt Jack Harkness, then I think Jack Sparrow, then I think Cpt Jack Aubrey from Master an Commander. there are just too many Captain Jacks. I think they should be put in a room and left to battle. What would probably happen is that Sparrow and Aubrey would clash swords for a while until Harkness got bored and just blasted them to peices with a whacking great chunk of futuristic weaponry. or he'd blast Aubrey to peices and take Jack Sparrow out for a drink And, well, you know the rumors about sailors... It's true! He does have one other function though (you know, other than the keeping the females and gay men in the audience well and truly hooked) which is to blow things up with big guns - I watched a Doctor Who confidential once and Russel T said that he didn't like the idea of the Doctor or Rose firing guns at people so he felt the need to introduce a 'soldier' who could do that stuff when needed to.
