Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

I never get anxious about it as there's very little pain and I can't imagine anything bad (or pleasant). If during the treatment I was forced to watch a film about potholing, though...

I'm at the extreme opposite end of the visualisation spectrum. A complete absence of visual, auditory, gustatory, tactile and olfactory imaginary senses. Before I found out most people have at least one of these, I assumed everyone was like me LOL.

Here's one for your pub quizzes. The Real Thing were given the nickname "The Black Beatles" because The Beatles were the first all-White British band to reach number one on the UK pop charts.

Would've gone down like a sack of potatoes on the artificial pitch. West Ham fan, sadly.

Best to wait till the pupil fully deflates (like when it's 11-Plus results time) before an update.

If this goes ahead (reinstating the gateway use - what presumably was a very upmarket public house before 1885) looks like it will have the magazine's name LOL.

Fresh from my MECS appointment with one massive (eye, not child) pupil. Nothing the matter except for the annoying circle of black floaters I developed suspiciously the morning after Saturday's flu jab.

No, but it meant I could have a laugh in my lunch hours when I was working.

Shit, apologies if you haven't seen The Wicker Man yet. Should have said "spoiler alert".

What if The Wicker Man was The Wanker Man and instead of burning to death, the Edward Woodward character gets tossed off?

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Is it autistic to look at Baron-Cohen's Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) Test and think the questions should be far more specific, there should be many more questions in the list and there should be detailed explanations for the scores for each answer?

"It has been stated" - including by Phil Davis in his introduction to the BBC's current showing of The Firm LOL.
