But the whole point of microwaves is that they work fast! Why on earth would I want to make one work slower? You're just not making any sense here. that's like going to MacDonalds because you want to have something to eat quickly, then complaining about how bad it is. Sometime you have to compromis...

do people not know how to use a microwave?

You can adjust the power so that it cooks more slowly, meaning that things heat more evenly.

I got bored of Pride and Prejudice when my paper-back copy of Memory of the Light arrived. I'm reading that now, and so far it hasn't disappointed!

I thought the Empty Hersh was by far the worse Sherlock Episode to date. It was totally incoherent. As has been mentioned, the whole episode seemed to be about the fact that Sherlock was back, without actually focusing on any real plot. The whole bomb thing was underplayed and the resolution was tot...

just started reading pride and prejudice. 40 pages in and literally nothing has happened. I have found no reason to care about any of the characters or their inane gossip. Can anyone who's read it tell me if it actually gets interesting at any point?

I do think moffatt is at his best when he has a strong moderating influence, like RTD when he was head of Dr Who or Gatiss, with Sherlock. He has some great ideas, but needs to have someone to temper some of his tendency to overwrite. I think he has grown a little too big in the world of Doctor Who....

Not sure I entirely agree with that. I found a lot of the tennant-era xmas episodes that were purely x-mas episodes to be a bit rubbish. The plots were usually very contrived and a bit ridiculous. I think it's pretty hard to write a good christmas Dr Who story, although I like the Smith-era ones a l...

my thought... River is the pope... they had a lot of similar personality traits and the line. "Flying the tardis is easy, flying the doctor...I have never gotten a handle on that" That actually occurred to me while watching the episode. That would have been much better writing, to use a l...

The episode actually makes a lot more sense second time around (something I find with quite a few Dr Who episodes, especially those written by Moffatt)

Still not his best work, but better than my first impressions.

also, how does the crack exist? The doctor reset the universe, so the exploding Tardis never happened so the crack couldn't have existed, so is it just a convenient plot device? Maybe I missed an important bit of explanation because the doctor was jumping about and there were explosions. Re Sally Sp...

I really wish Moffatt would just calm down with his storytelling. This episode was so helter-skelter and rushed that it turned a really interesting storyline into a bit of a mess. So little time was spent on anything that is became almost impossible to follow and lost any coherence. It doesn't help ...

I actually asked for socks for Christmas, because I needed socks, and this way, I don't have to bother buying them

David Tennant's departure was truly amazing, and that two-parter was unmatched in quality until Series 7(Which, in my opinion, was the click moment when Moffat suddenly figured out how to write truly great Doctor Who). i was a bit underwhelmed with that episode. As i was with S4 finale, which i jus...

Im more confused by you visiting your GF's family for sex :) well, you know, very open family... We're uni students, so we live together during term time and with our respective families during holidays. It is currently the Christmas holidays, so one of us has to visit the other's family to see the...

tomorrow I am going to my GFs to spend some time with her and her family in the run up to Christmas, which means SEX :) and lots of it. Christmasy sex with silly hats and baubles (ok, probably no silly hats and certainly no baubles, I mean, how would that even work) Actually, here's a question. What...

Not very romantic? Communication is always romantic, and sexy!

My GF doesn't like porn and doesn't think I should watch it, so I dont. Masturbation she's happy with (we live together at uni, but not all the time during our holidays, so we have some relatively extended periods away from each other), but she's not comfortable with the idea that I would fantasise ...

talk about a lucky shot!

I'd argue that there is also a more general reluctance to confront people. And that's not a gendered thing, men very often have difficulty confronting people about their feelings, not for fear of their reactions but because the confrontation itself can be awkward and uncomfortable, or at least they ...

I find the number of people whose only response is essentially 'well, I have a PC, so that clearly makes me the most important person ever and you should all know that I play games on my PC so ha. Peasant' very strange.

Of course, that is the only reason why women are sometimes vague and uncommunicative in response to amours advances...

there are also rumours that you are actually a sex fiend who has secretly going around the world having sex with LRR forum members, and this sexless, disinterested portrayal of yourself you present on these forums, particularly this thread, are a charade and a lie. which is obviously not true... isn...

and there was much rejoicing throughout the land.

if masturbation or sex can be described as rigors put on the penis, you're doing it wrong...

I always send fan mail, script submissions, care packages and novelty hats to this address: The Loading Ready Run Crew, building 3, Loading Ready Run Moonbase, The Moon, MB3 LOL They've never used one of my hats so far, but I'm holding out for the day that they use to the with the still-bloodied cha...
