Rennaissance. The little one off they did with Moving Wallpaper series 2.

I'm sure it's knocking about on the web in various very obvious places that I have nevertheless managed to not find.

There doesn't seem to be a series 2 DVD and it's long gong from itv.com so far as I can tell. I don't really do online telly but I'm assuming stuff only stays up for a few weeks? I couldn't find it anyway.

I know this is old news but I didn't watch it at the time cos my laptop struggles and I assumed there'd be a dvd. I kind of need to see it to cross it off the list. It's taunting me.

Anyone help?

Cover to cover for me as well.

I can't really think of any strips that fit the indifference bil for me. The response may not always be positive and will sometimes be extremely negative but every strip provokes some kind of reaction.

Those last few posts are torturing me now. Must not look.

Posting with my real name attached won't make me be any more polite or considerate because to be honest, I'm actually more restrained on here than I am in real life. I've mentioned before that I worry more about people on here, who i've never met, thinking bad of me than I do people in the 'real world'. 

Which often leads to me typing bland platitudes and mumbling apologies in situations that would in real life see me effing and blinding in rabid defence of my point.

I accept that I may be doing this whole internet thing wrong.

Ha, the library computer let me do it straight away. Must be a problem with my piece of crap laptop.

I used faplad because I'd never used a forum before but had the stereotype in my head that everyone had daft pseudonyms. I genuinely thought it was a rule.

So I picked faplad cos thats a name I've used for highscore tables and intranet logins for years.

I actually tried to change my username to Paul faplad Finch after reading this, just to show I wasn't that fussed, but I kept getting an error report when I then tried to get rid of the 'Paul t' me mates' tagline. I thought it would look daft if I left it on so I'm back to just faplad.

Ha, no, nothing as glamorous as a wedding certificate.

There is a document that, had I not signed it and then everything else, good and bad, had happened the same, my life would be a damned sight better right now. One signature I'd make bloody sure I never wrote.

Re Amys house, the Doctor has a line early on when he's talking about why he took Amy along where he talks about her house being "too big, too many empty rooms". Easily missed because he then mentions Amys life not making sense and that seems like the bigger deal. Seems like the house could be as important as Amy. Maybe Amy is only important at all because she grew up in the house.

I've had the feeling all season that Amy has been a bit of a red herring and there is something much bigger at play. Of course I've changed my mind on a weekly basis as to what that something bigger may be but I'm sticking to my guns that Amy is subsidiary to the real big answer.

Well, not really. This was never about stopping him from interfering with their plans. It was about stopping him from blowing up the Universe. Which means grabbing him at some point before that happens.

His earlier selves would have no reason to be doing anything about this because he knows nothing about it until the trap is sprung and his future selves can't do anything about it because presumably the box is meant to hold him forever.

Last night I somehow managed to post 2 lines and take up half a page with blank space. God knows what I did.

Sorry.


Moderator edit - it's fixed now. (HoU)

Glad you made it Max and I wouldn't worry about your English at all, as I suspect none of us can speak any Russian...

...and theres some would struggle to match your English.

Welcome aboard Sir.

I've read 8 or 9 of these and fully intend to read more. Yeah, the early stories wear their Tolkien influences pretty blatantly on their sleeves but that does fade. 

The aspect that I particularly like about them is that the storylines are set generations, sometimes even centuries apart with the politics, technology etc. being radically different each time out. It gives the impression of a world evolving in a very natural way. Even to the extent of making certain powerful races extinct in later stories.

I always have a look at the list of who's online when I first log in and it never occured to me that that little group picture was anything other than decoration. Even after reading this thread and going looking for it I was looking at the screen going "there's no button there, what's he on about?"

Of course I won't be able to not look now I know it's there. A bit like the stats, which are akin to crack for me. I'm obsessed with how many replys the book thread I started has got (sad I know but I started it when I was quite new and it's the only thread of mine to have any staying power so it's kind of a mascot). There is also the question of just when not if, Trout will become the most prolific poster and the always thrilling "who's been online the longest?" which has taken on the status of the most important horse race in history. I was genuinely gutted when I went offline for a while and slipped a few spots.

Yes. I am the saddest man alive.

I think Fforde tried to get a little bit too clever for his own good in the later Thursday Next books but the first couple, and the Nursery Crime novels are works of genius.
