The Doctor is in

Bloody hell - the stuff that people give away. Over the last couple of days I've been keeping an eye out for a couple of 'disposable' board games in some of the charity shops here. Up until today, I was becoming worried that I was going into them far too often for my own good - and actually finding things that were pretty cool.

And then today, my mind was eased. On a shelf were a whole stack of Doctor Who videos (am I the only person left in the country with a VHS player?). Top drawer releases they are too from Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee along with the McGann movie. Some of them are double box sets and some are even still shrink-wrapped. 40 pence each? Yes - I shall take the whole damn shooting match. Thank you Miss. Would I like a bag? Yes I would...

Seriously VHS is where it's at if you want to watch something and don't give a damn about dozens of boxes piling up around your TV. Last month we picked up the back end of the entire Inspector Morse series for 40 pence as well. VHS tapes are worth nothing at all these days... unless, like I say, you really want to simply watch something.

I still like that feeling of rebellion by not rewinding... I wonder if they ever released the whole series of The Sweeney.

Still lots going on here. So much so, that I think I'm actually going to have to create myself some kind of schedule and whilst doing so may take a lot of the fun out of it, will mean some more things get finished - as illustrated by being subject to competition deadlines over the last few months.

Currently reading: Still womping my way through Company of Liars (which is shaping up nicely)
Currently listening to: Our Lady Peace - Gravity
Currently looking forward to: finding an evening free for Mr Downes to drown my back in some ink from a tattoo gun. (Yeah - I know it's right to call it a gun anymore but it will always be a gun to me. And who thinks 'needle' is anymore of a positive image anyway?)
