Ooh! I love infrastructure projects (spent a lot of my time visiting Malmö fascinated with the Øresund bridge) and this looks really cool :star_struck:

Everyone say hi to Petronella, she is a sinner and should not be trusted. (She bit my finger when I gave her a treat)

So, we’ve been getting a lot stuff from Big Finish for major anniversaries lately (Forty, Sontarans v Rutans, the Sixth Doctor stuff this year, Fourth Doctor: The Curse of Time). Does that mean that 2027 will be the year for Seventh Doctor celebrations, or does the recently mediocre (I haven’t actually listened to any of it) “The Last Day” fall in as part of that?

Just looking at upcoming releases and discovered some interesting cast members for Eighth Doctor: Time War: Uncharted 1: Reflections due out in October.

Once again, I’m almost certain they’re building to a crossover

Apparently, I saw some Doctor Who in the cinema ten years ago. 12s first episode?

I posted a picture of the CD artwork from ‘The First Sontarans’ and didn’t fold it open fully, making a pretty depressed looking Sontaran.

@BillFiler If you love TFO don’t give it -1 give it +2. Much better!

I only meant that it pains me to down vote it, but I love all of those stories so I had to hurt one of them… :wink:

A random question about English. In Swedish we often use small words to strengthen the meaning of other words. Like I don’t want to write “I like Doctor Who” I want to write “I really like Doctor Who”. But my spelling software doesn’t like that. Is that not a thing in English?

I always thought your profile bio “I like Doctor Who” was just a funny understatement.

Yes we add things like “really” to strengthen something!

I really, really like River Song!

That was the point of that. I had forgotten about that :joy:

Great. Then I will continue to ignore Grammarly even if it can be really annoying sometimes :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve been thinking about using Grammarly for a while now. Would you recommend it?

Is Grammarly telling you not to put ‘really’ into a sentence?

I am happy with it. It helps me both with spelling and how to write sentences. I am on the free plan now but when I wrote more in English for work I was on the paid plan. But I think that the free plan works great.

Speaking as a teacher, Grammarly really is an idiot.

But it also gives me shit when I don’t use the Oxford comma or what it was named.

Google disagrees with Grammarly

And the Oxford Comma is a US thing more than a UK thing - I suspect Grammarly is US based and therefore should be ignored in all things concerning the English language…

:wink:
