  1. @Deliriumtree Hee. You make a tired man smile, Dear Tree.
  2. @Deliriumtree If my driver doesn't join in!
  3. I have the only airport shuttle driver in my region who goes 5mph under the speed limit.
  4. @Deliriumtree I think we'll go with raw fortitude, maybe a cool shower
  5. @Deliriumtree Thank you, Dear Tree. I'm going on 23 hours no sleep, but I need to push 4 or 5 more.
  6. Home again. Jiggety-jog.
  7. #Microlensing - 26/5/12 - Xeno wp.me/p1h2Bg-qS
  8. @Deliriumtree That's why he's my favorite. He just seemed more almost-mad than most.
  9. @Deliriumtree oh, you *know* Tom Baker was, with that Cheshire grin.
  10. @Deliriumtree the reason the effects used to be so cheap is they blew the budget on coverup makeup all the time.
  11. @Deliriumtree well, I figure that's how a lot of episodes actually start. But they cut that part out.
  12. @Deliriumtree I'm fairly certain that paradoxical wanking is one of the reasons the Tardis was invented to begin with.
  13. @Deliriumtree You make a killer Companion, Dear Tree. Hell, I think you'd rock as a Doctor, too. First one with a cape!
  14. @Deliriumtree Oh, I do hope so!
  15. @Deliriumtree if only. I cross the international date line.
  16. On the way to the airport to go home. My flight arrives home 20 minutes before it leaves here.
  17. @mitdasein You need a Kickstarter. Or a Pickstarter - it's KS's more nasal competitor.
  18. @michchievous Ha! Perfect.
  19. @michchievous Yuck! Math orgies *can* be fun, but they need the right lube.
  20. @michchievous that sounds rather more fiddly than an F-22
