Did anyone hear the reporter on the BBC haranguing the chief fire officer? Were there injuries? What did they look like? Yeah but how badly were they injured? What were the injuries like? Dick.

She is dreadful. Also, the BBC's "Scotland correspondent"? The f**k?

Nice words, mate, huge condolensces to you and your family.

They really are of the opinion that they're taking the moral high ground aren't they? What an amazing lack of self awareness on the part of each and every one of them. An incredible bunch of oxygen thiefs.

Not according to the GB you can't. Loyalty to the ould country or get tae f**k is the vibe I get from them.

On the whole, I enjoyed it. Loved the cameo by Tom Baker (I actually did a little shriek when he appeared), and thought the interaction between Smith, Tennant and Hurt was excellently done, particularly Hurt's reaction to "Timey Wimey". There were little niggles though. I thought the actress who played Queen Elizabeth was utterly dreadful. I mean really bad. It'll be interesting to see how this changes the Doctor in future episodes. For me, part of his make up, part of the texture that made him what he is and the kind of guy aliens shouldn't f**k with, is the darkness he always had in him, which I always felt he had as a result of his role in the Time War. Are we going to get a more relaxed, happy Doctor from now on? I hope not.

I can't fucking wait for tonight. I've only seen about half of An Adventure In Space & Time, but thoroughly enjoyed it so far. And the actress who played Verity Lambert? :wub:

I think you should perform a snow dance. It basically involves doing the timewarp dance in your pants in your front garden. Try it and let the forum know how you got on.

A UK based Fallout game could possibly overtake Skyrim as my all time favourite game.

If it doesn't snow by 7pm file a complaint with God.

Nothing to write home about, it snows in the Mearns in July.

David Tennant married her in real life, the jammy b*****d. That's what happened to her.

I fucking LOVED Fallout 3 and New Vegas. If it's out next month, hopefully it'll be for current gen as well as next gen. This is ball grabbingly good news.

If anyone on here is going to see Frightened Rabbit this weekend, please head along early enough to catch Lanterns On The Lake. They're exceptional live and could do with the support. You won't regret it.

Yeah I think it's 7 45 - 9.05. Then, straight after it on BBC3 is the Doctor Who Afterparty, which, judging by the sound of the title and the fact that it's on BBC3, sounds fucking atrocious, but I'll watch it anyway.

Man I cannot fucking wait!!! That is all.

Without a shadow of a doubt. I've been into Lanterns for a couple of years now, but this is my first time going to see them live. They were utterly, utterly fantastic last night at Tuts. Please do go early and support them. I only found out about the Frabbit gig recently and the tickets were sold out, absolutely gutted that I'm missing a chance to see Lanterns and Frightened Rabbit in the same night.

Lanterns On The Lake at King Tuts tonight. Cannot wait.

I'm willing to bet that's the first time that collection of words has been used in that particular order in the history of P&B.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24913141 Viewpoint: Saturn snapped as Earth smiled The US space agency (Nasa) has released a spectacular new picture of the Planet Saturn, acquired by the Cassini spacecraft in July. The image was produced as part of The Day The Earth Smiled Project, which was led by Dr Carolyn Porco. She describes how and why the picture was put together. "Four months ago, our cameras on Cassini were commanded to execute a routine imaging sequence during an event that was anything but routine. On 19 July, an array of overlapping images framing Saturn, its entire ring system and a host of its moons was acquired while Cassini was deep in the shadow created by the planet's eclipse of the Sun. This arrangement of Sun, Saturn, and machine made for a rare opportunity to image from the outer Solar System the planets in close to the Sun. The intent: To catch a precious glimpse of our own planet - tiny, remote, alone - as it would be seen from a billion miles away. Images of this nature had been taken before. The famous Voyager 1990 "Pale Blue Dot" image of Earth became, in the hands of Carl Sagan, a romantic allegory of the human condition and an inspirational call to environmental protection and planetary brotherhood. And Cassini's previous 2006 version, taken from Saturn orbit, showing the startling juxtaposition of our dot of a planet beside the enormity of Saturn's rings, became the most beloved Cassini image. “But from the very start, the plans for the 19 July mosaic included something very special: If all went well, the images would capture a glimpse of Earth alongside Saturn and its rings at the very moment that people all over the globe would be contemplating their connectedness to each other and to all life on Earth, appreciating the rarity of our planet within the Solar System, marvelling at their own existence, and rejoicing at the very thought of having their picture taken from a billion miles away. And contemplate, appreciate, marvel and rejoice they did! From Pennsylvania: "What a great way to feel connected to the Universe, the planet, and every single person on it. We are truly all in this together." From the UK: "What a privilege to be part of such an event with so many people worldwide." From somewhere unknown: "At the appropriate time, I turned my face to the sky and spent a few minutes watching and listening to what life on Earth was like, right there. What a feeling of connection and oneness with the miracle that is life on Earth. This experience was beyond meaningful; it was transcendent. What a beautiful thing." From upstate New York: "I've been entranced by this project ever since I heard about it and was determined to join in the celebration. We may not be unique... we may be transient... we may be only flying along on a dust mote. But for 15 minutes, we were there, we were aware, and we smiled." After much work, the mosaic that marks that moment the inhabitants of Earth, including the four above, looked up wherever they were and smiled at the sheer joy of being alive, is finally here. In its combination of beauty and meaning, it is perhaps the most unusual image ever taken in the history of the space programme. Have a look and you will discover a universe of marvels. The brightly rimmed globe of Saturn and its main rings aglow with sunlight streaming through them take centre stage. On the left, embedded in the enormous, gossamer blue E ring, is the brilliant moon Enceladus, gleaming in the reflected light of Saturn and the sparkle of a hundred towering geysers, and likely the most promising place in all the Solar System to access alien life. A careful examination uncovers the shadow cast by this moon through the spray of smoke-sized icy particles created by those geysers, like a telephone pole might cast a shadow through a fog. Below and to the right of Enceladus is Tethys, a moon about a third the size of ours, illuminated by Saturn-shine. On the other side of the planet, to the upper right, is Mimas - only a crescent but also casting a faint shadow through the E ring. And on it goes - more moons and faint rings for anyone caring to take the time to wander. Now, look one more time. There, below the main rings and to the right of the globe of Saturn, far in the distance and seemingly lost in the radiance of the scene, lies a small speck of blue light, floating in a sea of stars. That is our home, with every last one of us on it - you, me, the folks down the block, even those on the opposite side of the Earth. We all inhabit that lovely blue dot. And more than this - the image of that dot captures the very moment, frozen in time, when the inhabitants of our planet took a break from their normal activities to go outside and acknowledge our "coming of age" as planetary explorers and the audacious interplanetary salute between robot and maker that this image represents. I hope long into the future, when people look again at this image, they will recall the moment when, as crazy as it might have seemed, they were there, they were aware, and they smiled." The positions of the objects are inside the circles. The squares contain enlarged views Earth and the Moon are seen as a blue dot at the bottom right of the image

Does anyone know if the upcoming Radio 4 Extra programmes will be available as podcasts?

Honestly, its a fucking revelation!!! No more trawling through wrong pages! Yaldy!

It's the thought that counts man, don't stress yourself.
