Sat 31 March 2007 - Margaret Joyce

Posted in Friends and loved ones — Daniel @ 7:34pm

My grandmother died on Friday night.

I didn’t know her well, and hadn’t seen her since 1999. She’d been unwell for some years, but all the same, it was sad news — perhaps because like the rest of my grandparents, I grew up distant from them — either in miles or in years. Unavoidable, but a shame for all of us, I suppose. Only my Grandad left now.

RIP Margaret Joyce de Bowen née Middleton, 18/5/1926 - 30/3/2007.

Sat 31 March 2007 - Our time has come

Posted in Doctor Who — Daniel @ 4:07pm

I have to admit, when I was growing up, Doctor Who was never really one of the cool kid shows. Scifi generally probably wasn’t something the cool kids watched.

But now, on the eve of the third series (starts Saturday night in the UK; who knows when we’ll see it in Australia), David Tennant’s Doctor Who has been voted the coolest television character of all time.

Finally, Doctor Who fans, our time has come. Our show is cool. (It must be true — I read it in MX.)
