    wasn't K9 in the TARDIS in the xmas special? and wasn't the doc chuffed to find him in the tardis? or was that a preview for the next series?

    I prefer Eccleson to Tennant- but I'm just living in the past.

     

    esit: and isn't it an act of utter idiocy to have both cliffhangers and trailers for the next show- it spoiled a few episodes of the last series. One or the other, chaps. Have the cake or eat it.

    I think a 3rd person lightsabre game would be brilliant.

    I've just pretended to play it now, making all the noises and stuff. Good job I'm on my own. There would need to be a long lead to the analogue stick for genuine whirling action. Or no stick.

    This is all speculation. But, the first application of the 'FHC' (it's a bloody remote) I though of was a lightsabre game.

    Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm kshhhhhsk rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm rummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

    Ahem

    Also, if you want to know the REAL meaning for easter changing date every year, is because the people who started the festival (having no idea when Jesus actually died...or born for that matter), copied the time from another pagen festival, which was dependant on the lunar cycle..

     

    I dont think that Jews would agree with calling them 'pagan'. The early Christians had SOME idea that Jesus died during the passover (it's in the bible). Easter changes date because Easter Sunday is the Sunday after the first day of the passover (which happens to be Good Friday). The passover is celebrated on 15th Nissan every year in the LUNAR Jewish calendar, which is slightly different to our solar calendar. So the passover changes date by our reckoning, which means that Good Friday changes date and that Easter Sunday changes date.

    Also: the fact that Easter Sunday is on a Sunday means it would have to change date each year anyway...

    i dont think we are evolving really. there is no need we are the dominant species on the planet. technology has replaced the need to evolve. you will find species like urban fox's will be much the same.

     

    We have been 'dominant' (what does that actually mean in this context, there are more ants than people...) for the blink of an eye. Our environment is constantly changing and so are the conditions for breeding. There could always be a freak mutation that would be of an avantage in our environment, and the sheer number of migrating people means that genes that were forged in , for example, Sweden are now in Australia. There's a lot of potential adaption there!

    Theyve booked loads of bands who were popular last year in the Radio 1 tent, shoved them on main stage, booked Dirty Pretty Things for 5th off the strength of um.. no album!

    ....

    the police dont want to know, they havent since Temple Newsam).

     

    I also cant believe the prices! Nearly £145 for a ticket! Ive no idea what its being spent on either, it was £90 in 2002 and look at the lineup!

    2002:

     

    I think it's good to have bands who haven't got an album out- this is about LIVE MUSIC after all.So booking a band on the strength of their live stuff is arguably better than on the strength of an album.

     

    The police seem to enjoy the last nightof Leeds festival, full on riot squad every time I've gone there, only the biggest aresholes in the force need apply. It's like braveheart or something, this wave of attacking police legging it through all the tents twatting anyone that looks a it 'rowdy'. And a police dog bit my mate's bum.

     

    The price increases are fucking ridiculous, nuff said. It's getting to the stage where a day ticket now costs the same as a weekend ticket a few years ago.

    And it feels weird having the lineup on the same day as tickets go on sale (or at least, sell out). I remember comparing festival lineups, watching them develop and deciding on a festival wel into the summer.

     

    Ah, well, it aint like the good old days.

    Wikipedia:

    "The original Easter Bunny myth comes from a pagan holiday which was celebrated on the Vernal Equinox. According to Pagan legend, Ostara, the goddess of spring, turned a bird into a rabbit. The rabbit was supposedly able to fly as fast as the bird could fly, but it was still disappointed that it was a rabbit and not a bird. Ostara had pity on the creature, and one day out of every year, on the Vernal Equinox, she allowed the rabbit to lay eggs like a bird. Due to the proximity of Easter and the Vernal Equinox, converted pagans continued to associate the myth with their new holiday, and the idea has been passed down ever since."

    Well it takes 8 seconds for light to get to us from the Sun, so if we place a giant mirror in space the same distance away from us as the Sun, then we could see 8 seconds into our past (with the help of an observatory). They should set one up :P charge £10 to see yourself 8 seconds in the past, it'd be really freaky :D

    A) it's 8 minutes

    B) if something was setup 8 seconds/minutes away, then we would see ourselves 16 seconds/minutes in the past

    C) I am a pedantic wanker

    Your IQ score is 144!

    Visionary Philosopher

     

    Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game -- to imagine or anticipate what should happen next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with new ideas and this makes you a Visionary Philosopher.

     

    You also have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns in all sorts of situations, a talent that adds to your visionary philosopher mind.

     

    Nice, but nonsense.
